sible wartime emergency measures to break a growing food shortage. Arrangements for the back-to-work movement were completed last night and relayed to Governor Leverett Saltonstall and Mayor Maurice J. Tobin.
 At the Boston market terminal company, nearly 100 trucks reported in the first two hours this morning and the task of unloading 300 car- loads of fruits and vegetables began. The cargoes were transferred by truck to the Boston Fruit & Produce Exchange, opened for the first time in three days.
 At the Charleston yards of the Boston & Maine Railroad, the first Fruit and Vegetable auction in a week was scheduled.
 Ease Acute Shortage
 The action was expected to ease an acute shortage of fresh fruits and vegetables and dairy products in Central and Northern New England. With no warehouse deliveries since Thursday, both claim chain and in- dependent stores report they were without perishables and had only dwingling supplies of meat and can- ned goods.
 Reports of profiteering sent state drivers affiliated with local 25 of the inspectors from the necessaries of life division to affected areas.
 The movement of foods had no ef- feet on the six-day strike of 5000 American Federation of Labor's h. ternational Brotherhood of Team sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and helpers of America, however, since only 10 per cent of its members nor- mally are engaged in handling food shipments.
 Rather, the $500 men returning to work were members of other AFL unions which declared holidays" in sympathy with the striking driv- CTS.
 Vote On Arbritation
 Meantime, local 25 members were converting at Brookline-Street gym- nasium in Boston's South end for an au-important meeting to vote on a proposal that they submit to arbi- tration of the dispute.
 The vote will be reported immedi- ately to Saltonstall. At the same time he is expected to receive the decision of the 400 employers on the compromise proposal advanced by the union calling for $37 for 8 44-hour week with time and a half pay for overtime after 48 hours.
 The compromise proposal repres- ented a retreat by the union from its original demand of $40 for 40- hour, five-day week. At present drivers receive $33 to $37 for a 48- hour week.
 The employers already have agreed to arbitration of the dispute.
