BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 6-The
C. I. o. United Automobile Workers
today approved appointment of a
three-member committee to conduct
an election for delegates among
members of the Allis-C Chalmers
Milwaukee Local 248 whose delega-
ton was denied representation at
the unions sixth annual convention.
The election will be held at Mil
waukee as soon as possible to permit
the delegates to participate in the
sessions expected to close late next
week.
The convention refused yesterday,
by vote of 1,737 to 1,243, to seat
10 delegates from the Allis- Chalmers
local, accused of Communistic lead
ership. The local, which staged a
79-day strike this year, claims to
represent 5000 workers.
George F. Adde's, U. A. w. secre-
tary treasurer, last night condemned
what he termed "the presence at
our convention of two representa-
tives of the o. P. NJ" and said it is
time for the o. P. M. Ito devote
more effort to long-range defense
production and less to uncalled for
interference with the affairs of or
ganized labor" He did not identify
the o. P M. representatives.
TT is the No. / task of our conven-
ton to lay the basis for an effective
campaign against the unnecessary
and brutal slashes to be imposed by
the o. P. M. and Opacs (Office of
Price Administration and Civilian
Supply" he added.
A 90 per cent reduction of auto
mobile production in 1912 has been
indicated by defense offlfficials.
The standing vote and roll call
poll rejecting the Allis- Chalmers
delegation, headed by Harold Cris-
toffel. was interpreted by Richard
T. Frankensteen, U. A. VIC. I. O.
international board member, as a
good kick in the teeth for Com
munism" He predicted adoption
of his resolution to bar Communists
from holding office in the union.
This unofficial vote is a clear in
dication," he asserted, ''of the trend
the convention will take" He told
reporters ''in the main the Allis-
Chalmers union is dominated by
Communism.

With freight cars a vital link In
the chain of national defense, ship
pers and receivers of all rail-borne
products in the Metropolitan Area Of
Washington were called on today
by a new organization, the WASH
ington Freight Car Efficiency Com
mittee, to do their share toward
keeping cars moving.
The committee was made per-
manent organization-at least for
the duration of the emergency-at a
meeting at the Willard Hotel yester-
day afternoon, and those present,
representing all the interests in
volved, approved letter which went
out to shippers. The letter, drafted
by Harry E. Stringer, chairman OF
the committee. past president OF
the Atlantic States Shippers Adv1-
sorry Board, pointed out:
"You are desirous of adequate
freight car supply, particularly DUR
ing the coming fall period OF heavy
car loadings. The railroads. through
the car service division of the Asso-
citation of American Railroads, as
sure us that an adequate and sat-
isfactorv car supply can be MAIN
tanned if all shippers and receivers
will fully cooperate in securing the
utmost utilization of the available
railroad car supply-in other words,
the prompt loading and unloading
of cars"
Tie-Up Cases Cited.
And at the meeting w. c. Kendall,
chairman of the car service division,
cited some examples locally. For
instance. 10 receivers of coal had 43
cars from one railroad tied up
total of S3 days for unloading.
Since this sort of thing in the
aggregate takes out OF circulation
thousands of cars which other ship
ners, some in defense industries, are
clamoring for, the shippers were
asked to cooperate in movement
titled Don't Waste Your Cars
The movement is Nationwide, with
similar committees being formed
in KEY shippers centers over the
country.
The group was told that the rail-
roads own about 1,650,000 cars, and
il would be necessary, in the present
situation, to get the most out OF
them. Freight handled the tlrst SIX
months of 1941, it was stated, was
17e per cent above the car loadlngs
for the same period last year. Rail-
roads it was explained, were han
ding about 100000 cars a week ana
this might be raised to 95O,000 OF

G. J. Goodyear of Philadelphia,
