tenders and running board. On this
pretty scene looked down from the

out in sympathy movement Springfield trucks held here were re- leased so drivers and helpers could attend the meeting.
 The strike, Murphy said, had been extended to several smaller companies in the state" and while there had been no serious disturb ances, there had been "a little trou- ble here and there."
 The union, meanwhile, devoted most of its attention to organizing the drivers and helpers. Murphy estimated between l25 and 150 new members were enrolled at 8 meet ing last night.
 Ragged from Start
 we've been a bit ragged from the start" he said, but we're strength ening our position every day and in- tend to carry on until our demands are met"
 Drivers sought an increase of 10 cents an hour, reduction of an hour and one-half in the running time between Hartford New York, and a closed shop.
 Union officials threatened to stop the transportation of perishabl, merchandise "as last resort" to force agreement with the more than 30 affected trucking companies.
 Despite strong picket lines @ few shipments were reported to have been delivered here last night. Rail- road shipments noticeably increased and local trucks were pressed into 24-hourS service to make deliveries to stores which have begun to feel the pinch of the strike.
 Tickets Stationed
 At each main point of entry into the Hartford area a score or more of picketS were stationed to halt all out-of-state trucks. Most of the trucks were garaged, excepting those from Springfield which. were re- leased after several hours and until news of the Springfield strike vote was received at local headquarters.
 The move of the mediation and arbitration board to intervene in the strike had the endorsement of owners.
 Should the union reject the invita- ton to discuss settlement. the board, through the state labor department, is authorized by law to subpoena em- ploycrs and emploess;. commander records and force consideration of terms. ..

 to seek the cooperation of the Unit ed States in consideration of China's plea.
 To solicit United States aid, China will not make a new appeal to the league but will ask rejuvena- ton of an appeal of 1881, when Japan invaded Manchuria. Under this appeal an international advisory committee was appointed in 1883, and the United States accepted membership.
 Events moved dramatically as the League Council and Mediterranean conferences got under way.
 Brltain's Surprise Gesture Britain in a surprise gesture to- ward Italy modified her drastic anti submarine campaign in hope of en- listing the cooperation of Italy and Germany, who boycotted the Medi- terranean conference.
 Not only did Britain seek to di- minish the urgent dangers of the Mediterranean conference but to- try once more to gain the friendship of Italy, lost in the Ethiopian war crisis.
 Such drastic features of the anti submarine plan as a shoot-to-sink convoy program were held in abey- ance, though both Britain and France proceeded vigorously with their protective campaign by strengthening their battle fleets in the Mediterranean.
 French delegates to the Mediter- ranean conference were reported to have read a plan by which all na- tions would be asked to keep any submarines in the Mediterranean on the surface and to fly their flags at all times. Under the French plan submerged submarines or flagless submarines would be considered "pi- rates,' liable to merciless attack.
 Afrront to Italy, Germany
 The days events started with an implied affront to the totalitarian powers of Italy and Germany and to the nationalist Junta of Spain
 Juan Negrin, premier of loyalist Spain, was in the presiding chair when the council meeting opened He took his place automatically aa council members assume the chair manship in alphabetical order.
 But Negrin's chairmanship em- phasized to Italy, to Germany and to the nationalists-represented here by a strong undercover delegation that to the league the loyalist gov ernment is the properly constituted, legal government of the republic.
 The League council, after agreeing to consider the Spanish appeal against Italian warship attacks, ad- journed until Tuesday. The adjourn ment was voted so that delegates could attend the opening meeting of the Mediterranean conference late today.
