agents before their union strike
call due Wednesday among $50
cab drivers. Interest in the taxi
company repeatedly was bought
recently by a city official and
another political power in Louis

The C.IO., accusing the city
administration of trying to
"break" it in this Federation OF
Labor center, was promised aid by
the national labor relations board.
Regional Chairman Charles II.
Logan said he could call together

! representatives of transfer com
panies where the CLIO. transport
workers struck Wednesday.
Since that strike, Clio. pickets
have been arrested wholesale, to

vacated truck driving jobs.
Should the encouragement or
der a complete investigation, the
| federal bureau of investigation
would make a report to Viosca
for the grand jury, as was done
in the Harlan county (ky.) coal
fields labor war.
Dowling's affldavits cited two
raids on joint Clio. headquarters
where witnesses and records were
seized, twice delaying an Nlrb
longshore hearing which had
nothing to do with the CLOS.
transport workers strike at II
transfer companies; that whole
sale arrests of CLIO. men were
made on triumped-up charges and
| that the members were held "on
ice" without chargesl; that po-
lice attempts to break the
CLIO. were instigated by city au-
thorities, and that police used
Federation Finger men" in ar
resting Clio. key members.
Bowling said he was informed
that police who raided the CLIO
headquarters broke up chairs and
furniture and produced the broken
remains as evidence of clubs
or Dangerous weapons" possess
ed by unionists.
Bowling had hardly filed his
charges that accused "polict
persecution" of having the
knowledge and consent" OF
Mayor Robert Maestri when sia
detectives raided the home Of
clio. Organizer J. R. Robertson

PLEDGE CARDS PREPARED
FOR EVIDENCE SEIZED
The raiders, headed by Capt
