In turn, Beck exacts from industry an extensive code of cooperation.
 Beck is head of the Teamsters Union. Tn Seattle that is a broad term. The big Washington port city is not surprised when steno- grapherS, walters and beauty operat- ors are listed as members of the teamsters union.

BECK HAS A FRIGHT

But a rebellion of eastern Wash ingtcn apple growers gave Beck and his organization fright last year. Here's the story as 1t is told here. So iron -clad was Beck's control of the trucking business that farmers from the upland part of the state could not drive their own produce laden trucks into Seattle. At three main passes through Che mountains behind Seattle, Beck's men stationed patrols. Farmers with their trucks were stopped, compelled to seat a driver and pay him a days wages for the final few miles into Seattle, even though the farmer continued to drive his own truck.
 It was jolly arrangement for the truck drivers, but the farmers re- belled. They advanced a piece of initiative legislation last fall so re- strietive in it's nature that strikes as they are practiced on the Pacific Coast-would have been vastly han dicapped. By such narrow margin was it defeated that Beck's advisers warned him that he had better pla- cate such farmer opposition before it really hit him.

TREASON LAW EXTENDED

BERLIN, Nov. IS. - Nazi au- thorities last night and early to- day broadened their power to deal with the alleged rebellious activities of the inhabitants of Bohemia and M0ravia by ex- tending the treason law to the pr0tectOrates. This was after nine Czechs were executed yes terday and all high schools and academies were ordered closed for three years following student disturbances on Thursday.
 SHOT THEM DOWN
 Meager details indicate that the nine executed yesterday in- cluded two Czech policemen and seven Prague University students who were accused Of assaulting German citizens during anti Nazi demonstrations.
 Official sources declare order has been restored and that 90 per cent of the population dis approve of what is termed sow ing dissension by the youthful followers of former President Benes. Other sources indicate, however, that there is a seething sentiment beneath the surface with secret meetings being held that may break out in a tre- mendous revolt never before threatening Hitler.
