Meeting 10 Seek End
OF Truckers Vacation
Called by U. 5.
Cancellation Service Acts
In Wage Dispute; To
Meet in Baltimore

A hurriedly called meeting Of
petroleum truck drivers and rep
resentatives of three oil transporta-
ton companies. including one con-
Germ here, was to be held In Balti-
more today in an attempt to settle
drivers vacation" which the United
States Cancellation Service estimated
affects more than 80 drivers and
helpers.
Seventeen drivers for the M. I.
O'Boyle & Sons here failed to appear
for work yesterday morning. while
an additional 18 men who normally
are added to the pay roll at this
time of the year did not appear,
according to r. M. O'Boyle. The
dispute was over wages.
The Washington concern claims
that it ships 100000 gallons of
petroleum products in the WASH
ington area, or about 10 per cent Of
all gasoline, fuel oil and alcohol
handled here.
Today's meeting was called by L.
F. Rye Of the Baltimore Office of
the Cancellation Service. Repre-
sentatives Of the AFL Truck Drivers
and Helpers Local No. 355 in Balti-
more were asked to attend.
Ask SIS Weekly
Howard T. Colvin, regional super
visor of the Cancellation Service
here, said today that drivers had
asked for $45 a week for 48 hours
work as compared with the $41.25 for
a 60-hour week, which the men now
receive. Company representatives
have made compromise offer Of 80
cents an hour for the first Sc hours
of work, with ime-and-a-haH for
overtime after Sc hours.
Other concerns involved In the
dispute are Coastal Tank Lines of
York, Pa. and Refiners Transport
Co. of Baltimore.
A union member employed by the
O'Boyle firm told The Star today
that employees were not on strike but
were engaged in an executive session
of the local which began in Balti-
more Sunday morning to discuss q
new contract. "We are still in ses-
sion and only recess for our men,
bers to get some sleep or to assist
in scrap drives" he said.
Drivers have aided scrap drives
here and in Baltimore, he said. The
drive in Baltimore is not over yet,
he added, and members are still
assisting in collections.
COnfranf Evuired
The contract between the union
and the O'Boyle concern expired
July IS and negotiations have been
under way since then.
Mr.. O'Boyle said non union drivers
yesterday were placed on his four
trucks delivering alcohol to Army
ordnance plants. The company also
hauls aviation gas for the Army.
Several retail oil dealers here ex-
pressed concern over the situation,
claiming they depend on OBoyle
trucks to deliver fuel oil to them.
Dealers have been swamped with or
ders from householders who were
prevented from buying oil before
September is by Government Or
ders. Coming of fall weather also
has brought on more orders in the
past two days, one company said.
