STRIKES AND TRANSPORTS

It hasn't been announced, but Undersecretary of War Patterson has ordered survey of seamen's and longshoremen's working condi- tions on merchant ships which carry vital war supplies overseas.
 Douglas Brown, industrial rela- tions expert of Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology, is conduct ing the survey. Inside reason for it is the serious conflict between the Army and the War Shipping Administration over handling of ships for the transport of troops and supplies abroad. As a result of this conflict some ships are manned by green crews, and there is general state of dissatisfaction on the part of maritime labor.
 Friction began when the Army Transport Service began taking over ships from the War Shipping Administration Now the friction has become so sharp that Admiral Emory Land, head of War Ship ping, has written a strong letter to the War Department, saying he will release no more ships for transfer to the Army until work ing conditions for seamen are i'm proved.
 Army Transport Service regards maritime labor in the same class as soldiers-they should obey or ders, with no thought of overtime pay or peacetime conditions of comfort. But the Seamen have a

John W.Smith
Passes Away
Ex- Detroit
Mayor Succumbs

DETROIT, June 18-LP)-
John w. Smith, president of the
Detroit City Council and for
years a robust figure in city pol
iticS, died last night at the De-
troit tuberculosis Sanitarium af-
ter a long illness. He was 50
years old.
From a boyhood of hardships
Smith fought his way to achieve
ment which included five years
in the State Senate, the mayor
atty of Detroit, and several terms
on the council during which he
was a dominant influence in the
municipal government. 2
Previously Smith was deputy
State Labor Commissioner, es-
t%ablishing a mark Of strict en-
forcement of new labor laws in
the 1928 period, and in 1920
he became postmaster of Detroit
and championed the cause of air
mail.
The veteran office-holder, who
picked up his early education as
best he could while helping to
support his family as a newsboy,
served as a youth in the Spanish
American war and the Philip
pine Instruction.
When Smith came home from
the Philippines, he was deaf, the
result of a shell explosion, but he
took up studies at the University
of Detroit and meanwhile learn
ed to be a steamfitter. Part of his
hearing was ultimately restored
by a specialist.
Politics received him in 1908
as a ward worker and from then
on he came frequently before the
public, finally going to the State
Senate and identifying himself
with progressive social legisla-
ton.
Smith was elected mayor in
1923 to fill out the unexpired
term Of a resigned predecessor
and was reelected in 1928. He
was defeated in 1927 and 1929
and in 1880, after the recall of
mayor Charles Bowles, he and
BoWles were defeated in a spec
ial election by Frank Murphy,
the present Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court.

dromes were reported ready TO
receive eleventh-hour reinforce

DARK CHINA FRONT
The news from the China
fighting front again was dark.
Chinese headquarters acknow-
lodged that Japan's invasion
armies now had seized all but so
miles of the 45O-mile Chekiang-
Kiangsi railway which feeds
supplies into the heart of China.
This offensive is an important
part of the Japanese campaign
to tighten their Gordon around
the still free regions of South
ern China and thereby strangle
Gen. Chiang'S wartime capital
at Chungking.
Informed Chungking quarters
said they believed Japan might
attack Russian Siberia before the
summer is over, but declared
that at the moment the Japan
csc were concentrating on rein
forcing their air strength in the
China annd Burma theaters.
