BY the Associa ted Press.


NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29.-The
Weather Bureau said a tropical
Caribbean storm, which caused the
loss of at least seven lives when the
freighter Libby Maine sank last
week, probably would pass into the
Bay of Campeche today after mov-
ing over Northern Guatemala.
Search for the missing seamen by
Navy planes and the Coast Guard
was abandoned yesterday.
The storm was central early today
about 120 miles west by south of
Belize, British Honduras, moving
west northwest or northwest about
18 to 20 miles an hour. Its intensity
had diminished from its former hur-
ricane force. said the Weather
Bureau, but gales continued over a
considerable area north and west
of its center.
Weather Bureau attaches said
communications were badly disrupt
ed in the storm area.
The Weather Bureau this morning
issued the following advisory:
"A tropical disturbance passed
over Guatemala during the night
and is south of Campeche Bay this
morning moving est-northwestward
at 18 to 20 miles an hour with the
center some distance east of Fontera
and Villa Hermosa at 7:30 am.
E. S. T.
Its further west-northwestward
movement will cause strong easterly
to northerly winds reaching gale
force today and tonight over
southern Campeche Bay and along
the coast from Carmen to Vera
cruz and somewhat further north.

WeIders Threaten Strike
On Issue Of RECOGNITION

BY the Associated Press.
The United Brotherhoods of

union and told the o. P. M. labor
division that. unless the ONCE of
Production Management was pre-
pared and willing and able" to Sc
cure this recognition it was incap-
able Of settling the welders' prob
lens.
simultaneously Carl V. Morris, a
spokesman for the welders, told re-
porters he understood Los Angeles
welders were preparing for a strike
vote and that widespread walkouts
were possible despite efforts Of
union representatives here to pre-
vent them.
The men involved in the various
parts Of the country, dissatisfied at
the slow action received at the hands
of o. P. NJ. and the unwillingness
of the building and metal trades
of the A. F. L. and the C. I. o. to
cooperate with O. P. NJ. are de-
manding of their Washington COM
mittees to be allowed to stop work
until some result can be obtained"
Mr.. Morris said.
In a letter to Sidney Hillman, O.
p NJ associate director, the brother
hoods declared that what the weld
ers of this country are demanding
and what they are entitled to have
and what your Office and the Gov
ernment itself ought to see that
they promptly get is the right to
bargain collectively with their en-
ployers through representatives of
their own free choice"
They do not choose to be repre-
sented by the American Federation

trial Organizations" the letter
added.

system permitting welders to work
at any job without belonging to

ginia said, meanwhile, that no time
should be lost in passing strict
regulatory legislation" to halt such
work stoppages and he added we
ought to penalize these strikers
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas saw in his own seize freeze"
bill a simple and acceptable remedy
to the problem. 1t would permit the
Government to take over struck de-
fense plants, freezing the open or
closed shop status while the Gov
ernment remained in control. A
special board would be empowered
to adjust wages during such a
period.
Said Senator Hatch, Democrat, of
New Mexico:
I'VE ought to pass the Connally
bill and send it to the House. IT the
House wants to pass a bill in some
other form, then the differences
could be ironed out in conference. )"
Senator Connally hoped for Judi
ciary Committee approval of the
legislation Friday, and Senate con-
sideration Monday.
Ramspeck Plan Details.
Although details remain to be
worked out, Representative Rams
peck outlined yesterday the details
of the bill the Labor Committee is
working on this way:
When strike or other labor stop
page threatens in defense plant,
the dispute would go through the
successive steps of normal collective
bargaining, conciliation, mediation
and, finally, at the discretion Of the
President himself, compulsory arbi-
tration.
That would mean. he said, that
both sides would be bound in ad-
vance to accept an arbitration
boards decision If the workers re-
fused, they would lose their rights
under the Wagner Act and If the
employers were recalcitrant, the
Government might take over his
plant.
Drastic, RamSpeck COncedeS.
"It's pretty drastic, all right" Mr.
Ramspeck commented. 1T would
prevent strikes in defense industries
during the emergency unless man
agement wants to turn over its plant
to the Government or unless the
workers want to surrender their
rights under existing legislation
In the case of the workers, he
said it would mean that their col
lective bargaining rights under the
Wagner Act would be cancelled land
it would practically make the union
ineffective"
AS part of the process, Mr.. Rams
peck said there might be four diff
ferent waiting periods" correspond
ing to the four steps, before strike
could occur.
