Roosevelt Plea Defers
Express Workers Strike
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt, using '1ast-
resort" procedure, has deferred the
threatened strike of 10000 employees
of the Railways Express Agency,
Inc.
The Chief Executive intervened
yesterday after Friday deadline
was set for the walkout of the
agency's union clerks and terminal
workers. Dispute over working hours
was the main issue.
In halting the threatened strike
and ordering creation of Q fact-dnd-
ing commission, Mr.. Roosevelt in
voked the emergency measures au-
thorized by the Railway Labor Act.
George M. Harrison, president of
the A. F. of l.. Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks, who previously an
nounced the strike, said the agency
refused to grant the union clerks
the 44-hour week it had given some
other employees. The clerks now
work 48 hours.
A. M. Hartung, Railway Express
vice president, said 1t would cost
$5,000,0O0 to meet the union de-
mand on this point and twice that
much on others.

tual defense scheme OF the island,
1t was reported last night.
Premier Eamon de Valera's abso-
lute-determination to maintain Fires
neutrality has blocked the British,
and on the other hand viscount
Craigavon, Premier of Northern
Ireland, has shown equal resolve to
preserve the status quo Of the six
counties still tied to the British
crown.
Britain fears a German invasion
OF Fire in an effort to blockade this
country from the west.
But De Valera not only has de-
clared for neutrality but has ap-
pealed for united Ireland to defend
the islands neutrality. That would
