Indeed there Is. but one Is fear
full that the great majority of the
American people-those who will

storm of protest that should have

Mayor Edward J. Jeffries Jr.
received a blunt warning from the
Officers of 223 AFL unions today
that if he attempts to operate the
DSR before settlement OF the
strike, 100000 ALL members In
Wayne County will go out on q
general strike.
The warning came as the strike
went into the fourth day with no
sign of peace. 1t was in the form
Iof a resolution passed at a meet
ing of union local officers In the
Labor Temple. Park and Mont
calm avenues. The resolution read;
"The delegates to the Detroit
and Wayne County Federation
of Labor go on record rs giving
moral and financial support to
striking DSR employees, and
physical support IL made neces-
sary by any action of the mayor
of the city Of Detroit.

Frank X. Martel, head OF the

that the mayor had a proposal t.
