BERLIN, Nov. 2l.-British Prime
Minister Chamberlain's disclosure
that Tanganyika, Germany's former
East African colony, might be used
for settling Jews fell like bomb
shell here today.
The Nazi press for days has been
warning that ANY such attempt
would meet with the sharpest pro-
test"
1t came amid the first signs of
abatement of Germany's 1l-day
anti-Semitic drive, which has de-
prived German Jews of virtually all
freedom and reduced tens of thou
sands to destitution.
Bar to ex-COlOny's Return.
Many Germans interpret plans to
settle German Jews in their former
colonies as move to prevent the
return of such war-lost possessions
to Germany.
One authoritative commentator
declared the Tanganyika step is an
obvious attempt to prejudice the
colonial question"
Before Mr.. Chamberlain's an
nouncement, informed Nazi quarters
had said they expected Reichsfueh-
rer Hitler to tell Oswald Brow.
defense minister of the Union of
South Africa. that Germany would
consider such plan an "affront." :"
Mr.. Prov is scheduled to see the
Fuehrer Thursday at Berchtesga-
den.
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, foreign
minister. was understood already to
have told Mr. Prov the same thing.

to Germany during the World War
had been permitted to wear their

Refuse to Work
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fress.
CHICAGO, Nov. 81. Livestock
trading at the stockyards was halted
today by strike called by the
C. I. o. Packing House Workers
Union against the Union Stockyards
& Transit Co.
Police Capt. John Prendergast,
who assigned 100 policemen to spe-
cial duty at the yards, reported that
about ITS stock handlers had re-
fused to 60 to work.
He said the strike was for higher
wages and vacations, but spokes-
man for the company said no
grievances had been submitted by
the workmen
The Livestock Handlers Union,
an A. F. of l.. affiliate. was not
participating in the strike.
In previous years there have been
similar strikes called shortly before
the International Livestock Exposi-
ton, which opens at the yards
Saturday.
A statement issued by the Packing
Workers Organizing Committee
over the signatures of Hank john
son, assistant national director, and
Herb March, organizer, charged the
stock yards and transit company
with IAN increasingly vicious cam
paign of terror"
THE present tie-up is the
outgrowth of the company's refusal
to bargain in good faith" the state
ment said in part.
"The direct provocation leading
to the stoppage was:
First, the slugging of Ben Brown,
the locals president, on company
property when he was going about
his duties as feedman."
The statement charged the locals
Office was riddled with bullets and
bombed since bargaining negotia-
tions were begun with the company.
"A series of sluggings, threats and
attempts at murder, was climaxed
by the attack on Ben Brown a week
ago Saturday" the statement said,
adding that three men armed with
baseball bats and shotguns entered
his home and that in the ensuing
fight he suffered broken arm.
o. T. Henkle, vice president and
general manager of the Union Stock
Yards & Transit Co.. said the union
statement about a Campaign of
terror" was "outrageous" and mot
true"
Henkle also denied that the COM
pany had refused to bargain, assert
ing negotiations had been in prog
ress until yesterday.
