UNIONS BLAME
STRIKES UPON
CODE LACK
NRA AssaiIed For SIoWness
In Preparing Schedules;
More WaIkoutS Loom

Another bundle Of criticism
was thrown in the lap of NRA
code authorities today when
spokeSmen for both sides of the
local strike situation bitterly as
sailed both side Of the local strike
situation bitterly assailed the
hardness of officials in drawing
up proper codes.
Washington's strike involving
$500 plasterers, carpenters and
hodcarriers is due primarily to the
the lack of a code which would fore
nonunion contractors to raise
their wage scales and thus allow
union employers an opportunity to
compete for construction work, it
was charged by James Buckley
financial secretary of the Plaster
erS and Cement Finishers Interna-
tional Association, and James r.
Skinker, of the Master Builders
Association.
Vh1ngS at Stand
Hope1esSly deadlocked on major
issues, the strike situation in the
District today continued to hold
up progress on construction work
on Federal buildings as threats of
an all-Summer walkout by other
branches of the building trades
haraSSed contractors.
A meeting between industrial
leaders and union representatives
is scheduled for tonight, at which
it will be determined if the present
strike will be extended to include
sheet metal men, steam filters,
bricklayerS, masons, and shop
hands. It was indicated if the
demands for this group Of labor
are not met they will call q strike
Immediately.
The result Of a walkout by
these groups would be a complete
paralysis of Washington'S build
ing program.
No Code Assistance
Mr.. Skinker and Mr.. Buckley
both stated q code for the plaster
industry was due April IA, but
thus far it has not been pub
lished. M. Buckley stated:
''NOnuniOn lGbOr is now be.
ing paid So to So a day, whereas
union employees are getting S12.
1t is, therefore, impossible for
union contractors to compete
with non-union. The code au-
thOrities have promised us help,
but SO far nothing has been
DONE"
Ninety-five per cent Of the mil
lions of dollars of construction
work let in the District since jan
uary l has gone to 11onunion con-
tractors, it was further charged.

Rubber Workers Demand
Union Recognition

AKRON, Ohio. May II (I.N.S).
Organized rubber workers
throughout the country. will serve
demands for union recognition
and . T5-eent-an-hour minimum
wage on factory owners on June
l, it was learned exclusively by
International News Service today.
However, SpokeSmen for the
union workers stressed the fact
that they did not believe that q
general strike would result. They
said that q strike vote undoubt-
edly would be taken, but merely
for the purpose Of bringing in
governmental conciliators to force
peaceful arbitration on their de-
mandS.
The fact that unionized work
ers in the rubber trade were pre-
pairing for showdown with fac
tory owners brought the third Of
the great open,Shop industries of
the nation into the labor lime
light. Strike agitation already
has broken out in the automobile
industry and unionized workers
in the steel industry served de-
mandS for union recognition on
steel mill companies today.

Mrs. Margaret B. bennett.
Mrs. bennett contended that

ruled that although it was aware
Of "the inherent frailty Of the eVi-
dence Of paid detectives" the teS-
timony in the case had been cor
roborated by other witnesses. The
wife also contended that the court
did not have jurisdiction because
the parties were not residents of
