Secretary Perkins Outlines
Plan To Settle Wage
Differences

WASHINGTON. Nov. q. -P-

strike Monday was eagerly awaited

tion and Cancellation BY a board
made up Of DR.. George w. Stocking,
former chairman Of the Petroleum
Labor Board; Frank p. Douglass OF
the Textile Labor Relations Board
and Edward +. McGrady, assistant
secretary Of labor.
The seat Of the trouble Is the News
Orleans waterfront where union
longshoremen struck for recognition

ers have been tied up in San Pedro,

terests have asked the Justice Dep
artment to prosecute the union for
interfering with the free flow Of in
terstate commerce. The department
however, has reached no decision on
what it will do.
The board was authorized to in
veStigate facts and issues, hold hear
ings and take testimony under oath.
