 The strike in this state, which called out 800 drivers, was stale- mated as result of the Providence collapse.
 Illingworth said the union de- manded three year contract, in- stead of the usual one year, and other controversial points were:
 An allowance of $500 instead of $350 day for drivers compelled to stay over at any point because of lack of return load.
 A demand for full pay, instead of half-pay for "dead-heading" back from point of destination.
 1llingWorth characterized the ne- gotiating committees compromise as "too much of an advance over the current rates. The committee, he said, was unable to convince opera tors it should be accepted.

The controller, on this line of attack, has been attempt ing to get the fund. presently $l33,- 900 unless the finance board trans fers of $47,000 are passed by the aldermen tonight so that 1,l93 men may keep their WPA jobs, trans ferred bodily into the welfare de- partment appropriation.
 At finance board b-committet meeting late last week, the con- troller suggested further pay cuts for city employees or special tax levy as potential remedies for ar impending deficit in the welfare ap- propriation should the current de- mand on these funds continue al same proportion.
