Leo KrZycki, field director Of the
Committee on Industrial Organi-

Germer is a member of the
United Mine Workers Union, while
Krzycki is general vice president
of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union, both important
factors in the c. I. o.
Germer and Krzycki have been
active in the organization of the
United Automobile Workers of
America which was granted an A.

been building up strength since
that time.
The Bendix Federal Labor
Union No. is an affiliate of the
Automobile Workers and it's sue
cess or failure in obtaining a
closed shop will have an effect on
the entire automobile industry.
The union men insist they have
been locked out by the company
and that no strike exists. In this
they are on the defensive, they
point out, maintaining they are in
better position to bargain than
if a strike existed.
In other words, it is a test of
the C. I. O.'S strength in the au-
tomobile industry.

of this industrial community to-
day, indicating progress in ironing
out the labor difficulties between
employees and officials of the Ben

With a number of employes-500
according to Vincent BendiX, presi-
dent of the company, and 1900 &C.
cording to union officials - still
holding forth in the rambling fac
tory buildings, a conference was to
be held today ito talk the matter
over"
Bendix, and John P. Mahoney,
vice-president of the company
were to meet with the executive
committee of the union.
First Forward Step
The members of this committee,
seven in number, are among the
workers who have refused to
leave the Bendix factory since
Tuesday morning when they were
ordered to put down their tools.
following their demand for a
closed shop, and the abandonment
of the BendiX employees associa-
ton, which has been termed a
company union.
Whether or not the members of
the committee will be allowed to
return to their self imposed i'm
prisonment after the conference
could not be learned.
Today's meeting will be the first
forward step in Strengthening
things out.
Heretofore both sides have been
adamant. Bendix, in an inter
view yesterday. said:
1--WE will never agree to COM
plete organization of this plant.
We cannot operate as a closed
shop. 1t is economically impOs-

FOREST BLAZE
CONQUERED

PISCATAWAY, Md, Nov. 10.
Sweeping a 15-mile front through
the thickly wooded areas of South
ern Prince Georges county, a forest
fire which broke out early yester-
day evening was extinguiShed
after a six-hour fight last night.
Several hundred acres Of valuable
farm and timberland were burned
before farmers, CCC workers and
volunteer fire companies got the
wind-swept blaze under control.
Two CCC brothers from
the Indian Head camp were killed
and four others injured when the
car in which they were speeding
to the fire crashed into a truck
and overturned. The boys killed
were Herman Barnes, %, and Al
bert Barnes, 10.
Although the fire, which is be-
lieved to have been caused by a
carelessly thrown match or cigar
cite into the woods north of Pts
Getaway. burned through the
sparsely settled districts, several
farm houses were endangered and
fire companies were stationed to
protect them. The high wind,
lack of water, and the cold seri-
ously handicapped the fire fight
ers and small headway was made
against the blaze until chemical
apparatus was brought into use
by the Upper Marlboro, Clinton,
and Oxon Hill fire companies.

Two Sons Are Killed
Two Days After
Fathers Demise

Tragedy that saw death enter
the Henry L. Barnes household
early this week to remove by
natural causes the head of the
family, returned last night and
with one stroke stripped the re-
naming male members from the
family in a fatal automobile &C

dren, two sons and two daughters
whom he had raised to young
womanhood and manhood, real

at the age of IS following a short
illness at the sanatorium in
Laurel, Md, when shocking news
of the death of the two sons,
Herman, %, and Albert, 10, was
conveyed late last night by Mary
land State police.
Herman, an employe at the
naval powder factory at Indian
Head, Md, and Albert, an official

BartSville, Md, in company with
several other youths were driving
in a car from Indian Head to
Camp Springs to add their Serv-
ices to those of the men combat

When nearly half way to Camp
Springs, the car, driven by Muir
