TRUCKERS NOT
 DISSATISFIED Exception Taken to State- ments of Heads of
 Local Firms

Edmund J. Naylor, business agent for the 300 striking truck drivers today emphatically denied opera tors charges that the men were dis- satisfied with the way leaders were handling the situation. MT. Naylor pointed out that any conciliatory moves made by operators were irn- mediately brought to the attention of the strikers at a mass meeting and were voted upon at once.
 He said such @ meeting had been held Monday afternoon. attended by both James Corrigan of the Central Labor union and a state represent ative of the American Federation of Labor. He said the men had voted solidly to continue the strike until such time as their original demands were met.
 According to MT. Naylor, there can be no further developments which would influence strikers to return to work other than those discussed at the original meeting of the state board of mediation held prior to the ordering. of the walkout. The same demands which were voiced then still hold good, he said.
 Tn statement issued for opera tors last night by William Laube and Peter Laskas, 1t was charged that Mir. Naylor and Rudolph Tata, president of the union, were "block- ing attempts to arbitrate the strike, and that most of the men now out have expressed satisfaction with present conditions and the more than average pay they receive. To virtually all of the statement, union men today took exception.

 Curley's refusal to intervene was in answer to petition signed by nearly 1000 residents of Sherman'S native Sutton and nearby towns and followed by only 24 hours per- sonal plea by Sherman's grief stricken parents, MT. and Mrs. Lewis Sherman.
 The plea which you present, Curley said, twas based solely upon sympathy for MT. Sherman and his relatives and does not in any degree controvert either the facts as con- tained in the confession or the evil dence as presented in the trial of the case. Profound as is my sym pathy for the mother and father of Newell P. Sherman, cannot com mute the sentence and must allow the decree of the court to stand"

Boston, July 3l - (UP)-Denied executive clemency, counsel for Newell Paige (Tiny) sherman today planned an llth hour appeal to the U. s. supreme court in final effort to save the 240-pound condemned American Tragedy" slayer from the electric chair.
 Attorney William Buckley will at- tempt to see Justice Louis D. Bran deis of the U. s. supreme court at his Chatham summer home in an effort to obtain a writ of certiorari to block the execution pending a review of the case by the full bench.
 Buckley will contend that Sher- mans constitutional rights were vio- lated by questioning of prospective jurors by state police before the trial. The Massachusetts supreme court already has denied an appeal on similar grounds.
 Sherman is scheduled to be elec- trocuted at state prison next week probably 10 minutes after mid night Tuesday-for drowning the mother of his two children in pic- ruresque Lake Singletary at Sutton during a canoe ride the night of July 20, 1885. Motive for the crime, according to the state, was his un- returned love for l8 year old Esther Magill, co-worker at a Whitinsville machine shop.
 Sometime today the 27 year old slayer will be told by Warden Francis J. L. flanagan and the Rev. Wilfred B. Whitney, Protestant chaplain, that Governor James M. Curley has refused to commute his death sentence to life imprisonment.
 Sherman was asleep on his cot in death house cell No. i-0nly a few paces from the electric chair when word was received at state prison that Curley had denied the clemency plea.
