the great public support that we
have given him in all his cam

be a man of his word, and know
ing that now he is in a position
to give us same consideration in
public service, we made the ap-
peal as stated above. But in
stead Of the consideration we
sought, we realized that the
hands of Robert Bobby Harlan
were still tied, tied not only by
Labor Leaders, but also, in our
estimation, by the hands of the
Chief Executive who was elected
by the people, and who appointed
Mr.. Harlan Director of the De-

unanimously approving a previous
strike vote taken in conformity
with the Smith-Connally Act.
The strike was called at mid
night when the shift due at that
time failed TO report. Picket lines
were formed al the plant this
morning. A detail of police was
on hand, but there was no dis
order.
Members of the Go United
Gas. Coke and Chemical Workers
voted TO uphold their previous de-
cision after day-long conferences
OF union, company and govern
ment representatives failed TO
bring a settlement.
The main points at issue, a
union spokesman said, were a de-
mand for union shop and a raise
of 10 cents an hour.
The case, already certified to
the War Labor Board, will be
referred Immediately to Washing
