Hotel Strike Of A. F. |.
BEGUN al San Francisco
BY the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3O.-A.
F. l.. unionists began strike against
% San Francisco hotels, including
several of worldwide fame, by pick
citing four hotels at pm. today.
Picket lines were established
around the four hotels before the
pm. deadline and members of the
striking culinary, bar and service
left at 4 O'Clock. Many shook hands
with hotel executives before leaving.
Picketing at the Empire. largest
struck hotel, was orderly and
touched with humor. One picket
wore a Daniel Boone costume An
other was arrested for failure to
move on.
In addition to the Empire. the
three comparatively obscure hotels
first picketed were the Edison, Fed
eral and Keystone.
Spokesmen for the unions indi-
Gated the other "a would be picketed
later but did not say when.
The strike was called after en-
ployers refused to grant closed shop
and hiring hall demands. The en-
ployers offered to grant an IS per
cent closed shop. but demanded the
right to choose their own employees.
The unions also asked for five-day,
40-hour week and wage increases
as high as $50 per cent in some
classif1ications.

Pacific as Well as Atlantic Defenses GROWING
With Development Of Air and Naval Bases

From California to the Philippines,
in Arctic cold and equatorial heat,
United States defenses across the
Pacific Ocean are being strengthened
as speedily as in the Atlantic.
Latest action is the designation of
tiny Palmyra and Johnston Islands,
south of Hawaii, as naval air sta
tions.
THE two oceans touching the
United States present contrasting
defense problems" says a bulletin
from the National Geographic
Society. Most of the Nations mill
tary and naval outposts in the At
lantic are relatively close to the
North American shore. In the
Pacific, the bases are scattered over
thousands of miles. During a war
these great distances could be both
a hindrance in maintaining Ameri-
can supply lines and help in keep
ing the enemy out of American
waters.

"The inner defense line in the
Pacific extends from the Panama

stationed thousands of men on Oahu
and has developed a major air field
there. The other islands in the
mountainous Hawaiian group also
are being fortified.
"At the crossroads of the Pacific.
Hawaii is an ideal center for air
patrol activity. Scattered to the
west and south, over the vast ex-
panse OF sea, are a few American
owned islands and atolls suitable for
naval air stations. Some of them
already are stops on commercial air
services.
Palmyra and Samoa are on the
air line between Hawaii and New
Zealand. Johnston Island is south
of the regular air route between
Hawaii, Midway and Wake Island.
About half way between Wake Is
land and the Philippines is Guam,
where Congress has authorized har-
Dor Improvements. 1t lies among
Japanese-mandated islands which
are reported to have been fortified.

hoping to save something from the
experiment in world organization
will meet in a two-week institute
at American University beginning

which must be preserved for any fu-
ture world government.
Sessions for registered members

Labor Day, 194f, rounds out crit
ical and momentous year for Amer
ican labor as it struggled for new
gains in a period overshadowed by
the threat of spreading war and the
urgency of building up the Nations
armed forces and its arms.
The masSing of the countrys in
dustrial power and raw materials to
stock the arsenal of democracy pro-
duced a record high in employ
ment, many millions of dollars in
wage increases and thousands of new
recruits In the ranks of organized
labor, now boasting of a total en-
rollment in excess of 10000, 900
workers.
In the swiftly changing scene from
peacetime to wartime production,
labor announced and carried out a
program of getting its share of war
industry profits into pay envelopes
to meet the upward trend of prices
and living costs.
Strikes Prove Troublesome.
The Inevitable strikes and threats
of strikes hit the shipyards and arms
factories. Kearny. Inglewood, Mil
waukee and Wright Field were no.
table trouble spots on the labor
front. And for month the soft coal
fields shut down, closing off the flow
of vital fuel supplies to defense in
dustries while miners and operators
threshed out their biennial problem
of wages and policies.
The year from Labor Day to La
Dor Day was memorable, too, for
other events.
Henry Ford reversed his tradi-
tional stand on organized labor and
opened the doors of his vast indus
trial empire to collective bargain
ing with c. I. o.
John L. Lewis stepped down from
the c. I. o. presidency after engag-
ing in dramatic but futile attempt
to unseat the Roosevelt administra-
ton in the presidential election.
And, for the first time in many
years, the Government used Federal
troops to open a strike-bound plant
the North American Aviation Co.
at Inglewood, Calif.-and subse-
quently used its power to put the
Navy in charge of a strike bound
shipyard owned by the Federal
Shipbuilding g. Dry Dock Co. at
Kearny, N. j.

duction began to gather speed.

No Limitations Are Planned
On Heavy Truck Output

The Office of Production Manage
ment last night advised the auto
mobile industry that no limitations
would be placed on output of heavy
trucks and that priorities would be
given to expedite their production
along with medium trucks, truck
trailers and passenger carriers
needed for defense.
Preference ratings of A-3, the
same as that for freight cars, will
be assigned orders of scarce ma
terials required for the, vehicles.
The o. P. M. admitted frankly
that priority ratings for these
vehicles would make supplies avail
able for production of passenger
cars even tighter" than had been
anticipated.
This was interpreted as clear
indication that passenger-car pro-
duction might be considerably under
the 26la per cent curtailment figure
for the August November period re-

which will open tomorrow and con-

DR.. A. r. Hollender of Miami
Beach, Fla. president -elect of the
Congress. will be installed as presi-
dent at the formal banquet Tuesday
night.
Rapid progress has been made
by this specialized field of medicine,
he said in an interview, through the
use of physical agencies such as
heat, electricity and exercise.
The unfortunate situation at
present is" he explained, that be-
cause of lack of legislation in some
States, physical therapy is being
applied by cults without regard to
correct diagnosis. This has led 70
considerable harm and occasionally
to difficulties which cannot be over
come. Physical therapy to be en-
ployed scientifically must be di-
rected and supervised by medical
| doctors. 1t is extremely important
that correct diagnosis of the case
be made first of all and only medical
doctors are qualified to do this.
Physical therapy has no place IN
the hands of the charlatan or the
quack."
