BYAKO
(By The Associated Press)
CHICAGO, June 23—In this city last night, Joe Louis
<the Brown Bomber), won the heavyweight champion
ship of the world by kayoing Jim Braddock in the eigh
th round of a fifteen round scheduled bout, before sixty
five thousand fight fans.
The former world’s champion Braddock, cut and
bleeding, was counted out after a minute and ten sec
onds of fighting in the eighth round.
After being floored for the first time by a terrific
right smash to the head, Louis floored himself, but there
was no count as he half slipped after taking a sharp
right to the chin in the first round.. He rallied, however
to win the crown, with a continuous attack and had
Bradoock badly going from the sixth round.
The champion’s left eye, mouth and face was badly
cut and went down in a heap after Louis landed his
final shot, crowning him as the second Negro champion
heavyweight of the world, in history.
Braddock fought a great fight but was exhausted in
five rounds, and was no match for the Negro in punch
ing power, once that Louis found his range.
The gate receipts arc estimated at six hundred and
fifty thousand dollars._

Death Of Jean
Harlow May Be
Due to Sunburn
(By The Associated Press)
LOS ANGELES, June 23—Doc
tors studied the possibility that
the death of the sctreen star Jean
Harlow might have been caused
by sunburn. Professor Henry R.
Busch told an audience at the
university of Southern California,
that he had talked with intimate
friends of a famous Hollywood
star, and learned that she had
been badly sunburned.
He declared that the sunburn
might have prevented her pores
from functioning and put too
much strain on other organs of
her body. Dr. Busch did not men
tion Miss Harlow by name, but
his statements indicated that she
was the person he referred to in
his talk.

(By The Associated Press}
CLEVELAND. June 22—“Little Steel" issued “back
to work” marching orders with the zero hour set for
7 a.m. tomorrow, involving about twenty-four thousand
men in the strike ravaged Youngstown area, as Federal
Mediators strove desperately at Cleveland to effect a
settlement.
The back to work challenge was announced jointly
by Frank Purnell, president of Youngstown Sheet Tube
and Republic Steel and drew a swift counter challenge
that as “soon as somebody goes to those plants there
will be plenty trouble—there are so many of the boys
there they won’t go in”, said John Mayor, director of
the Steel Organizing Committee to Girdler, chairman
of Republic Steel Corporation, who flatly told the fed
eral steel mediation board that he would not enter into
a contract with C.I.O.
Federal Steel Mediation Board
Works For Peaceful Settlement
(By The Associated Press)
CLEVELAND, June 21st—The
Federal steel mediation board is
laboring on a formula designed to
shift the seven-state steel strike
from open warfare on the picket
lines to a peaceful settlement
around a conference table. That
difficult task brightened by agree
ment of union chieftans and com
pany executives to meet separate
ly here tomorrow, and which was
made more urgent by a week-end
of fatal rioting at the gates of
Republics mills at Youngstown,
by a martial law order to close
Bethlehems vast Cambria plant
at Johnstown and sporadic vio
lence on the Canton strike-front.
Another difficulty was added to
efforts to settle the conflict when
the teamsters and chauffeurs un
ion called a strike of 1880 truck
drivers at Youngstown, “in pro
test against police tactics in the
rioting"
Leader.-, said 2500 drivers would
’ be affected. The death of a strike
picket and the wounding of 51
peace officers and strike sympa
thizers including Mary Heaton
yorse and two other women in
three hours of battling at Youngs
town, left the strike centers tense
and on guard against further vio
lence.
Peace officers charged that pic
kets planned the riot ‘in advance’
and started it by attacking police.
Union leaders asserted that police
began the fighting by an attempt
to disperse picket groups at the
mill, starting three hours of bat
tling with tear gas bullets and
stones.
