by quantitative limitation, would
not be calculated to achieve any
fair and equitable measure of dis

10DUN|0N NDR|VERS
IN 8 FIRMS STRIKE
Distributors of Beer and
Soft Drinks Refuse Pay
Raise Contract.

Approximately 100 union drivers for
eight distributors of beer and soft
drinks went on strike at am. today
in an effort to enforce their demand
for new contract containing an s18
weekly wage with Scent commits
sion on the case. instead Of the old
SIS wage and scent commission.
At least one distributor, the Sam
uel c. Palmer Co., 1866 Wisconsin
avenue NV, signed the union con-
tract this morning. The other dis
trlbutors insisted the terms could not
be met under present conditions, and
most of them put strikebreakers on
their trucks for at least partial de-
livery service.
Others affected were the DR.. Pepper
Bottling Co. and American Sales Co.,
Blair road and Quackenbos street
NV; the THYME Bottling Co., 1345
Florida avenue NE. the j. E. Dyer g.
Co.. 1880 M street NV: the Reiner

Inc. IS G street NV; the Knapp Dis
tributing Co., 326 Independence ave-
nue. S.W., and Edward Zupnik g. Sons,
1907 Fourth street NE.
Strikebreakers Used.
The striking drivers are members of
the Beer and Soda Drivers, Chauffeurs
and Helpers Local, No. 81. Their con-
tract with the distributors, signed
some l8 months ago, ran out the mid
die OF January and negotiations for a
pay increase have been in progress
since that time.
Wash B. Williams, head of the DR..
Pepper Co., which distributes soft
drinks, and the American Sales Co.,
beer distributors, announced this
morning that some 80 striking drivers
at his plant were being replaced on
the delivery trucks by Office workers
and George Washington University
students.
Aphonse (Tuffy) Leemans, former
George Washington football star now
with the New York Giants profes.
sional team, is employed at the DR..
Pepper plant as route supervisor,
and volunteered to drive truck for
the company this morning, according
to Mr.. Williams. His offer was &C
cepted. Cliff Battles, Redskins half
back, also is employed by the company
in contact role, but he was not
active today.
A special squad of police from No. 6
precinct was dispatched to the plant
to maintain order. Police said there
were no disturbances as the strike
breakers took the trucks out.
Can't Meet Demands.
Mr.. Williams declared he could not
meet the unions demands because
of increased freight rates, increased
taxes, including the social security tax,
and other costs, which would necessi-
tate boost in beer prices if the pay
increases are met.
He said that under the old contract
the drivers for his firms made from
$50 to $50 q week and that some of
the drivers last year paid income taxes
on wages and commissions of $4,000
or more.
H. L. Myer, business agent for the
drivers local, estimated that at least
120 drivers walked out this morning

the strike order.
Several of the largest distributors OF
soft drinks were not affected by the
strike. Their drivers have not been
