Strikes
.3rd DNu

The Department of Labor today
was attempting to bring about
peaceful solution of the strike
which has kept the cafeteria in
the Government Printing Office
closed for the third day.
But the situation remained at a
deadlock, with the G. P. o. Wei
fare Association, which operates
the cafeteria, demanding that the
striking employees return to their
jobs before negotiations will be
considered.
The Hotel and Restaurant
Workers Alliance, which called the
strike Monday, refused to consider
this ultimatum, and appealed to
the Labor Department to step in.
Meanwhile officials of the Wei
fare Association said the cafeteria
would remain closed unless the
strikers returned to their jobs to-
day.

DIRE RESULTS
MAYOR WARN S.
IN TRUCK STRIKE.
LaGuardia Raps Stand
Taken by "0utIaWs"

NEW YORK, Sept. 81 UN.s).
A threat to widen the "outlaw"
truckmen's strike today followed
collapse of peace negotiations as
acting Mayor Newbold Morris laid
down an ultimatum that the walk
out end in "a hours.
With the city's motorized trans
portation already partly paralyzed,
the strikers planned to extend
their activities against drivers
hauling material for construction
of the Worlds Fair and the new
Sixth Avenue subway, as well as
truckmen for the American Rail
way Express.
MAYORS WARNING
From Los Angeles came another
threat in answer to the OUTLAW"
drivers. Mayor LaGuardia, at
tending the American Legion con-
vention in that city, warned the
strikers Of dire consequences" in
the event the strike is not settled
this week.
He is prepared to fly back to
New York to take command of the
situation should it grow more
serious.
The strikers are demanding
reduction of weekly working hours
from At to 40, with no slash in
pay.
Thus far the cessation of truck
ing has resulted in freight piling
high on docks and at railroad ter
minals; retail stores are threat
ened with shortage of merchan-
disc and lack of materials has
forced some manufacturing con-
Germs to retard operations.
NEWSPAPERS HIT
A committee of newspaper pub
fishers was scheduled to meet with
Acting Mayor Morris to discuss
the diminishing supplies of news
print although the strikers are
permitting some newsprint to be
hauled.
Soon after collapse of the peace
parleyS, the strikers launched at
tempts to paralyze the city's en-
tire motorized transportation with
the exception of food trucks. Fly
ing squadrons Of striking drivers
sped through the streets to halt
vehicles carrying non-perishable
merchandise.
A parade Of 100 non-striking
trucks was charged by the drivers
as it rumbled along the North
River waterfront. They succeeded
in dispensing it by driving cars
through the line Of march.

stage star, would be buried in Arl.
ington Cemetery beside her Army
officer husband, officials at Ari.

Miss Frederick died Monday at

Rain May Force Delay
Of Pageant for Day

Officials Of the Presidents Cup
regatta today cast worried looks
at the sky and voiced prayers that
old King Neptune would intercede
with j. PluviuS to turn off the
rain.
For tomorrow night the colorful
coronation pageant is scheduled
to be held at the Watergate, with
Queen Elizabeth Reed receiving
her crown from Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Navy Charles Edison.
PRESIDENT TO ATTEND
AS the stormy weather con-
tinued, regatta officials decided
that if necessary they will post
pone the pageant until Friday
night and move the parade and
carnival up to Saturday night.
However, they we're hopeful that
clearing skies would enable the
program to proceed as Originally
planned.
Meanwhile; 1t was learned that
President Roosevelt, himself an
enthusiastic yachtsman, will wit
ness the races on Sunday after
noon. and see the final heats for
the coveted Presidents Cup.

SUPREME COURT VACANCIES

The sO-year old fear Of the Su-
preme Court remaining too ,conser-
vative or becoming too liberal Is not
genuine. Ifit had been, a so-called
progressive" Senate and House
would not have let the Presidents
ceurt plan go down to defeat. It IS
of importance for the average citi-
zen to understand that membership
on the Supreme Court is a life po-
sitioD. and that the record Of the
past Is that members Of the Court
have followed the highest ideals OF
serving their country, and refusing
TO bow to the political whip Of other
parts OF the national Government.
This has been proven through the
long records OF men like Holmes,
Brandeis, Sutherland. Cardoza,
Hughes. Justice Black is giving a
good account OF himself, Respite
predictions that he would siili func-
tion in the partisan manner which
characterized his record as a Sene
ator. He simply runs true to type,
as the Benedict Arnold's are never
named to the highest Court.

LEGAL, hut DANGEROUS

BY a unanimous decision, the Su.
pTgme Court has dismissed suit
brought by a number Of utility COM
! paaies TO determine the legality 'oi
\ the FEDERAL governments grants aud
! loans to communities for the pur-
pose OF erecting municipal electric
plants. The Court decided that the
grants. being for public works, we're
constitutional.
This settles the legal side OF a
mbch-debated question II does not
settle the much more important
question of the wisdo moi a demo-
cisacy proOmting socialism. The pcl-
icy Of our government suhsidizing
municipalities to build taxaexempt
electric plants, is but the first step
toward undermining private enter
prise as we have known 1t In our
nation. Once entrenehed, the politi-
clans will extend their hold 20 other
businesses. h
In practically every instance,
towns which have accepted Federal
grants and loans to build municipal
electric plants were adequately and
economically served by heavily tax
ed, publicly regulated private elee-
trio companies. When these towns
took the grants (actually public
d0lesl. It mean that all the taxpay-
ers of the country were forced to
donate for a purely local undertake
ing. And when they took the loans,
it meant that every local property
owner was mortgaged to pay part
of the cost of providing a service
which he had already enjoyed with
out financial responsibility on his
part.
The people should not be blinded
TO the ultimate danger OF such a /
pOlicy--each time it Is
their own private rights |
and liberties are reduced, their own /
to make an independ-
eHt living are restricted and the
iron hand of OfIiciaiism tightens its
grasp on the individual citizen.
