change Words in New York.
NEW YORK, November S P.-
Charges Of violence and intended vio-
1ence were exchanged by ship owner
and the head of a seamen's group
today as plans were made to expand
a waterfront "sitdown" strike into a
general walkout.
A charge by John M. Franklin,
president Of the International Mercan-
tile Marine Corp, that an organized
group OF indictments" had instituted
reign Of terror" was met by Joseph
Curran. chairman of the Seamen's
Defense Committee, with the state
ment that ship owners had hired
"mobsters" to break up picket lines.
Asks for Volunteers.
Curran announced he had issued
q call for volunteers to picket all
docks. Declining to say how many
docks might be affected in the strike,
which he said had tied up 40 ships in
this harbor, he asserted q score of
monsters" had been engaged by ship
owners to use what he termed strong
arm methods on picketers.
Franklin accompanied his charge
with demand that Special Prosecutor
Thomas E. Dewey, racket investigator,
look into the situation and act to end
"unbelievably dreadful" conditions.
Franklin, head of the company that
operates the United States lines, said
he had aff1davits and other proof of
men being beaten and terrorized into
leaving their ships against their will.
He said Communist "racketeers" were
responsible.
mo lasting peace between the own
ers and seamen can ever be reached
while there is an organized nucleus
whose wish is not for peace in the in
dustry but rather for constant turmoil
and unrest" he wrote to Dewey.
Held Cry for Sympathy.
Joseph Curran. chairman of the Sea-
mems Defense Committee, insurgent
wing of the International Seamen's
Union, flung back the retort that
Franklin's statement was "a historical
cry for sympathy" He suggested that
the union open its books to investi-
gators and explain the relations be-
tween its leaders and the ship owners"
The Seamen,s Defense Committee
called the sitdown strike in sympathy
for the Pacific Coast maritime walkout.
The International Seamen's Union, re-
fusing to join in the ban on work,
arranged instead to put crews on ships
tied up.
A hiring hall was opened along the
waterfront yesterday and David E.
Grange, vice president Of the union,
said 40 to so men lined up to replace
strikers within q few hours.
I'VE have had no trouble filling
jobs; in fact, the men are fighting for
these Jobs" he said.

Call for Federal Agents Due

Unless Representative John H.
Hoeppel OF California and his son,
Charles J. Hoeppel, are found within
the next "a hours. Department of
Justice agents probably will be called
on to join in what is developing into
a Nationwide search, Assistant United

today.
Pine indicated he would give Hoeppel

for commitment under a sentence Of
four months to a year imposed last
December before he calls on the JUS
tice Department for aid.
Representative Hoeppel and his son

Hunt Turns to Indiana.
Meanwhile. the hunt for the father
and son turned to Evansville, Ind.
where they we're placed by tip from
an unrevealed source.
Pine called the United States
marshal at Indianapolis and directed
him to check on the information that
the Hoeppels were visiting relatives
in Evansville. No report has been
received thus far.
Deputy United States Marshals here
continued to cover" places in WASH
ington where Hoeppel might 60 upon
arrival here.
Through officials at the Capitol it
was learned that q check signed by
Representative Hoeppel was cashed at
q Los Angeles bank about a week ago,
on the date the member of Congress
and his son should have appeared be-
fore District Court Justice Peyton C.
Gordon for commitment to prison.
Retirement Pay Halted.
Officials here felt that the check,
which was drawn against Represent
alive Hoeppel's salary, indicated he
was in Los Angeles the date 1t was
cashed. although employees Of the Los
Angeles bank said it was cashed by
another person.
Pine verified today that Represent
alive HoeppeFs retirement pay from
the Army had been stopped because of
his conviction. The California Rep
resentative was retired from the Army
with the rating of master sergeant
after 80 years service. He ran for
Congress and was elected in the
Roosevelt landslide Of 1882. He was
reelected in 1894 and was defeated
for denomination last August.
