MARITIME UNIONS
UNITE IN STRIKE
Longshoremen Plan Solid
Front After Voting Down
Peace Proposal.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 1s.-With
the latest peace proposal voted down
by striking longshoremen, $1,000
waterfront workers presented today
what their leaders termed a united
front for settlement of demands of
all maritime unions.
Prom now on it's waterfront
strike-not merely a longshoremen's
dispute" said Joseph P. Ryan, presi
dent of the International Longshore-
mems Association.
Proposal Rejected.
The peace proposal. which had
been approved by Ryan. was over
whelmingly rejected by standing votes
of longshoremen's locals at San Fran
cisco. Portland. Tacoma and San
Diego yesterday. Seattle longshore-
men deferred vote until today
At San Pedro. where a secret bal
lot was taken. the union dock workers
voted, 638 to 584, in favor of the pro-
posed settlement which was signed
Saturday by Ryan and water front
employers representatives
Immediately after the rejection
vote here the allied unions. acting on
the advice of Ryan, decided to name
a joint strike committee to seek a
general settlement for all maritime
workers involved. These. in addition
to the 10000 longshoremen, include
the sailors, masters, mates and pilots,
marine cooks and stewards. marine
firemen and marine engineers.
Period of Grace Sought.
A proposal that the longshoremen
at all ports vote secretly on the peace
plan. which would have given them
union recognition on an open shop"
basis, was made by Dave Beck, head
of the Seattle Teamsters' Union
Beck said he will seek a 72-hour pc
riod of grace in order that the secret
ballot may be taken.
Strike leaders said the principal
objection to the settlement plan was
that it made no provision for the
various unions which have joined the
longshoremen's walkout and have
presented similar demands.

JAIL GUARDS

FOR BREAK
Jury to Sift Charges a "DeaI"
at Crown Point Resulted
in Outlaws Flight
BY International News Service

Agents of the Department of
Justice were reported today to
be close behind John Dillinger,
Middle West bad man who
made the mistake of taking a
stolen automobile from Indiana
to Illinois after his spectacular
escape from the Crown Point
Jail.
Di1linger, who has never pre-
viously been charged with a Fed
eral offense, violated the Dyer act
when he drove Sheriff LILLIAN
Holley's car into another state
and thereby brought the Govern
ment sleuths into the hunt for
him.
Job for the U. S.
Joseph B. keenan,, assistant U.
S. Attorney General, said today
that it was the job of the Federal
Government to apprehend "rov-
ing" criminals of the Dillinger
type.
When such men transgress a
Federal statute the Department
of Justice will enter the search
even though the fugitive is
turned over to a state for prose
cution for more serious offense
than the Federal violation.
The Government is determined
keenan, said, to wipe out crimi,
mails of the Dillinger type who
move rapidly from one city to
another committing bank rob-
berries and murders.
Others Removed
keenan, feels that the local po-
lice are handicapped by their in
ability to exercise power outside
the limits of their city and that it
is the Governments duty to help
in every way possible when there
is some vestige of Federal juriSdic-
ton in the case.
Under the Dyer act, Dillinger
would be liable to a sentence of
only five years. But if he is
caught, and keenan, said he feels
that it will not be long before he
is in custody, he will be turned
over to the State, on the murder
charge which is pending against
him.
keenan, said that seven Federal
prisoners who were in the Crown
Point jail have been removed to
another Jail by the Department
and that no other Government
prisoners would be sent to that
jail.

Committees Rush
New Air Mail Bills
BY International News Service


Members of the Senate Post
office Committee and the Black
Air Mail Committee today began
the draft of a new bill to carry
out President Roosevelt's recon-
mendationS for return of air mail
to private carriers, under rigid
safeguards.
The two committees carried
on their work behind closed doors.
It was explained, however, that
open hearings will be held on the
measure after it has been for
mally introduced.
Administration leaders privately
admitted that some of the Presi-
dents recommendations for a
new system of privately operated,
Governments subsidized air mail
lines will meet strenuous opposi-
ton in Congress.
There were intimations that if
this anticipated fight becomes
furious and prolonged, the bill
may be allowed to go over until
the next regular session, meeting
in January 1885.
Aviation companies affected
by the blanket domestic cancel
lation order which Postmaster
General Farley issued on grounds
of "collusion" in air mail awards
prepared to fight vigorously any
provision "blacknsting" tn m
from making new bids to carry
