Late in the day Col A. B. Quin-

asked Mayor Jeffries if troops
would be needed 10 deal with the
situation.
Is MEN JAILED
Thirteen men were jailed during
the scores of melees al main inter-
sections but all later were re-
leased, 10 of them TO reappear in
court or in special investigation
squad headquarters for further
questioning.
Cause of the strike, which began
technically at 3 a. m, although its
full effects were not felt until well
into yesterday morning, was at
tributed by DSR officials TO the
Impotence of a small group with
the pace of the arbitration pro-
ceedingS.
The arbitration proceedings ac-
tually began July z and one of the
delays, at least, was due to the
union spokesman's absence. Some
of the bus drivers, apparently fear
full that the War Labor Board
might freeze wages before the
arbitration board had ruled on the
unions demand for a general 33
cents an hour increase. began TO
talk strike as means of speeding
the negotiations.
UNION LEADERS OPPOSE
This was frowned on by both the
international (AFL) union and the
officers Of the local. Division 26.
When the impatient minority
perhaps $50 men out of 4.200--
held a strike meeting, all officials
of the union Sternly forbade it and
warned of its consequences, point
ing out that to tie up transporta-
ton in a war production center
like Detroit might have grave re-
suits.
But the minority took the bit in
their teeth.
AS a result, production was
slowed down in scores of factories,
thousands of persons waited 80
and 90 minutes 10 ride home sar-
dine packed in what buses were
available-and $50 men today are
jobless.

Most Of the theaters give i'm

Most exciting sale she ever
made, Mrs. Hershey says, was the
$3.50 bond she sold to a sailor
who paid for it in cash. Most
appealing was the small boy who
arrived at the movies with 5
cents change after he had pur-
chased his ticket. He walked
toward the candy slots, then
turned toward the War stamp
booth. For a good 10 minutes
he wavered between the tempt
ing assortment of candy that his
nickel would purchase and the
stamps. Then with determined
look he went to the stamp both.
