union president Ralph Helstein
pointed out that the Tobin agree

Under the Tobin clause, which
applies to all workers who have
worked for the company for "a

l of any year, each worker is
guaranteed not less than 81 weeks
pay, 40 hours per week. The low

who will receive the new Decent

RUMOR MONGERS TRc TO
HINT TREACHERY AGAINST
JOE LOUIS IN BOUT WITH
CONN IN JUNE

New York-From many sides
you hear rumors and rumors of
JUNIORS about the coming june 10
heavyweight championship fight
Joe Louis will make against Billy
Conn. The rumors range from the
ridiculous to the sublime, but all
bespeak of treachery, the gloved
hand striking in the dark, and are
mostly grim forebodings fer the
well being of the best loved Negro
in the land.
Most OF the rumors agree that
Louis will be stripped in some
manner yet to be exposed of his
heavyweight championship. This
is supposed to take place in full
view of the 80 or 1OO, 900 fans who
will pack the Yankee Stadium the
night of the contest; it is supposed
to happen as millions listen in on
the radio or see the fight in teIe-
vision sets. The champ, these ru-
mors contend, is due for the clea-
nerS.
Louis, himself, hasn't done any,
thing lately to give hope that he
knows what the score is. His cri-
