Hamburg Gives Up Ring
After Second Round
Knockout by Jones
By George Huber

Lew Hanbury, jr., is through with
boxing. The local lightweight, who
once had world OF promise, but
who never quite made the grade, is
hanging UP his gloves after being
chilled by young Herbie Biff) Jones
last night at Griffith Stadium.
The end came in 81 seconds of the
second round, with Referee Charley
Reynolds counting Lew out after he
went down for the fifth time from
the same punch, a hard straight left
to the head. Afterward, in his
dressing room, Lew decided that
this was his last fight, with his
father, Lew Hamburg, ST., himself
an old fighter, and Manager AL
Well concurring.
There's no use kidding myself, !"
Lew said. 1T just haven't got it.
Jones is good fighter-I don't
want to take anything away from
him-but when I can be knocked
out like that it's time I quit. I still
have all my marbles, and I'm quit
ting while I know what I'm doing. !"
Fought Some of Best.
Thus ends a five-year fight career
for boy who gave Washington
many a good show. He fought some

often giving away weight, but al
ways in there fighting. He had a
lighting heart as big as he was, as
best demonstrated in the Armstrong
fight when, battered and bleeding,
he staggered from the floor several
times to continue the brawl before
the referee stopped it.
1t was a cut eye, received in a
winning fight against Callura, that
caused most of Lewis trouble. He
lost a number of fights when that
cut was opened, and last nights fight
was the first one in which he has
been counted out while unconscious.
The six other kayoes charged against
him were technical knockouts.
Last nights end was in compare
tive privacy, with only 1,701 Gus
toners on hand to pay gross gate
of $4,125.65 and a net of $2,827. 10.

mitted afterward 1t hurt him-but
that was his last offensive gesture.
Bell Saves Hamburg.
The southpaw Jones clicked Han
bury with a straight left that bowled
him over for a nine count. Three
more times he hit the canvas in
the first, with the bell saving him
the fourth time. Early in the sec
ond round 1t happened the same
way again, and this time Referee
Reynolds finished the count with
time to spare.
The 10-round cofeature was a sur
prise, with Jimmy Carter, 1929, of
the Bronx, holding highly favored
Sandy Saddler, 100, OF New York to
a draw. Saddler came out as If
for brisk workout and to sharpen
his timing, but Garter rushed him
and worked inside to carry the fight
to standoff.
The program opened with Red
Jeter, local heavyweight, breaking in
Goldie Ahearn's new ST 500 ring by
getting knocked out of it in the first
round by Bobby Jakes of Brooklyn.
In other bouts, Sonnyboy West de-
cisioned Mickey Garcia in six and
Billy Unce won over Maurice Nelson
in four.

sufficient proxies today to approve
the alcoholic clinic bill introduced
by Representative Herbert, Demo-

of the Republicans to indorse an

The committee, by vote OF 10
to 0, decided to report to the House
the Hebert measure, with some
amendments, in place Of the Miller

Taft 5 Labor Bill
Includes Strike
Injunction Plan
Would Allow 60-Duy
Writs in Industries
Involving U. S. Sofety
By J. A. oLeor

Chairman Taft OF the Senate
Labor Committee today made
public the terms Of his compre-
|hensive new labor bill, including
an injunction plan for dealing
with Nation wide strikes that
endanger health or safety.
Senator Taft said the committee
discussed the draft today but took
no action on any part of it.
The new approach to Nation-wi
tieups would enable the Attorney
General to obtain an injunction for
so days If he found that substan-
TALLY an entire industry was tied
up in way to imperil national
health or safety.
During the so days, mediation ef-
forts would continue. At the end
of that time, Is more days would be
allowed for a strike vote, with a
secret ballot, supervised by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board.
Safeguard Is Suggested.
Senator Taft said committee
members today suggested adding to
the plan a requirement that the
Attorney. General could not seek
such an injunction until he had
first appointed and received re-
port from a fact-finding board, set
ting forth the position OF each
party.
Asked If it would cover the cur
rent telephone strike, Senator Taft
said that would depend on whether
the Attorney General reached the
conclusion health or safety were
endangered.
If the employees voted to strike
after the 60 days of mediation, the
Injunction would be terminated and
the President would report to Con-
gress any further action he might
want taken. This in effect would
mean Congress would have to deal
with each such emergency at the
time If the 60-day injunction failed
to bring an agreement.
Would Outlaw Closed Shop.
The Taft bill also would:
Outlaw the closed shop, but per-
nit the union shop provided ut least
half Of the employees vote and two
thirds Of those voting approve Of .
union shop.
Permit industry wide bargaining,
but require international unions to
be reasonable. 1t would give local
unit of an international union the
same opportunity that local en-
pioyer now has to break away from
a nationwide negotiation. It would
become an unfair labor practice for
an international to coerce a local
unit to sign or not sign local
agreement.
Some Strikes Prohibited.
The bill would prohibit fatty
strikes:
Based on secondary boycotts.
Based on the demand for recog-
milton of group who have not been
certified as the bargaining agent.
Growing out of jurisdictional dis
putes between unions.
Called In violation Of collective
bargaining agreement.

By the Assecjoted Press

Incomplete reports from the
Nations soft coal mining areas
today indicated a substantial
majority of 100000 miners heed
ed demands of United Mine
Workers union leaders to stay
away from the pits until safety
conditions are improved.
The mourning period for the Iii
dead in the Centralia UllJ mine
disaster ended today.
The situations was: Roughly 280,-
600 miners idle with no reports from
areas employing the rest. The Ma
tion-wide telephone strike compli-
Gated the task of tabulating work
the production figures.
Fragmentary reports indicated
10000 idle in West Virginia, the
largest producing State; 10000 49,
900 in Ohio, $4,000 in Kentucky
$4,000 in Illinois and 10000 in Ala

Pennsylvania Mines Idle.
Indications were that virtually all
Of Pennsylvania 5 10000 soft coal
shaft miners also were idle, but
neither the Solid Fuels Admins
tration nor the Navy Coal Admin
istration would venture estimates
on the figure.
In the vital Pittsburgh production
district, coal production Was only as
per cent Of normal, and most Of this
output came from strip mines.
Production likewise was low in
other big coal producing areas.
Eastern Ohio mines were closed
and UNIV leaders expressed convic-
ton they would stay shut until Fed
eral reissspection. In Illinois only
about 5000 UNIV men were working
but almost all of the 1900 inde-
pendent Progressive Mine Workers
