Greyhound Insists on Right
To Discipline Bus Strikers

In answering the WLB's directive
to take back the men without pen-
alties, Mr.. Major said:
THE company has the RESPONSE
bility for the operation Of It's prop
erty as common carrier facility
and must retain the directive con-
troll Of its employees II 1t is to dis
charge its duty to the public.
The condition which you impose
denies TO the company the duty of
holding employees responsible for
failure OF service Of the company
To accept the conditions set forth
In your wire would leave the COM
pany without directive control Of its
employees. The strike has been in
progress in violation Of the directive
orders OF your board, with which the
company has complied and the union
refused to observe.
Your directive orders required
the company and the union to con-
tinue the company's service In ac-
cordance with existing conditions
OF employment. The condition in
your wire absolves the employees
from responsibility for breach of
their obligation. The grievance
machinery preserved by your direc-
tive orders provides adequate pro-
lection to employees against UNJUST
ihed discipline. The company there
fore feels compelled to inform you
that they cannot accept the condi-
tions of your wire. /"
Must BE DISCIPLINED.
In his statement, Mr.. Major
said that conditions at the garage
had reached the stage where en-
ployes who are causing all this
labor trouble" must be disciplined
or the garage would have to be
closed.
This is the third illegal and un-
justified strike Of employees Of the
Greyhound Lines In Washington
within the past year." he added,
'and the last two of them have been
staged after the president Of their
local union, Clark Dorsey, gave his
signed promise and statement that
another Illegal strike would not be
called or allowed here"
The present strike, Mr.. Major said,
was started totally without cause" !"
He denied that any former employees
returning from the service had been
refused his seniority rights or pay
increase accruing during his absence
In the service.
II am not saying" the manager
concluded, that all or any OF the
garage employees will be disciplined.
However, that viii be answered when
the results of the present investiga-
ton we are making into the cause
Of the present strike is finished"
Order Issued Wednesday.
The WLB's order, issued Wednes-
day, instructed the union men to
return to work and the companies
involved to rehire them without
penalty.

Fire Department Bureau of Com
bustibles said he had obtained
summonses against Mr.. Golliver
and the truck owner, Lester j. Den
|ner, charging them with transport
ing chlorine through the streets
without a permit.
He said the truck did not have
special safety equipment required
under the law.
Chlorine gas, according to an au-
thority, is used by armies to purify
water. Civilian uses include
bleaching paper and textiles.
DR.. Max Seide, medical superin-
tendent of Cumberland Hospital
where 130 victims were under treat
ment, said that chlorine gas affect
ed the entire respiratory tract from
the lips to the lungs, with results
ranging in seriousness from simple
irritation to breaking down of
tissue.
As result, he said, the area pro-
vided fertile ground for pneu-
monia germs. always present In the
system. Special teams OF physicians,
he said, were treating the patients
in Cumberland, primarily with oxy-
gen and sulfa drugs.

Finnish Firms Face
Trade Blacklisiing
BY j. 5. for First Time
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The United States Is expected to
take another step today showing
displeasure over Finland's co-opera-
tion with the Nazis. 1t will be the
inclusion for the first time Of Fin-
nish firms on the black list.
Although companies In all the
neutrals and some nations asso-
ciated with the Allies have been put
on the list already, no Finnish firms
have been prescribed previously.
Americans are forbidden TO trade
with firms on the list.
Because wartime barriers have cut
on trade between this country and
Finland, black-listing of Finnish
concerns would have mainly postwar
implications.
Both the United States and Britain
have made it clear that companies
on their blacklists during the war
cannot expect, once the shooting
stops, to be put back on equal footing
with those which did not aid the
enemy.
Finland and the United States are
not at war, although Britain and
Russia are at war with Finland.
Finland's main economic contribu-
ton TO the Nazis has been In stra-
tegic metals and In forest products.
The next blacklist supplement Is
to be published tomorrow. It has
already been announced that SO adj
ditional Swedish firms are to be In
cluded.
Meanwhile, Finnish American re-
lations continue on what Is described
here as a day-to-day basis, with the
possibility of q break In relations

Senators viii Seek
Aircraft Industry
|Reconversion Views
By the Associated Press.


Airplane manufacturers and the
Aircraft Division of the Clio United
Automobile Workers will be asked
to send representatives before the
War Contracts Subcommittee of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
to give their views on the kind of
program needed to help both indus
try and the Government In the re-
conversion period, according to SUBJ
committee Chairman Murray.
Senator Murray announced this
plan last night in New York, where
he spoke at meeting of Brewster
Aeronautical Corp. employees from
the Long Island City plant, which,
with the townsville fPa.) Brewster
plant. is going out OF aircraft pro-
duction July l.
The chairman said cutbacks. are
coming throughout the auto in
dustry and that steps must be tax
EN- to prevent abrupt cancellation Of
contracts such as occurred at the
Brewster plants, which threatened
to throw several thousand men into
idleness, and provoked vigorous pro-
tests from the workers.
These cutbacks may not occur In
great volume for another year, and
/ would not want to give you the
impression that the war production
battle is over" he said. But I am
convinced that Congress must de-
velop full program now for cut
backs in the aircraft industry and
other war industries, and for con-
version to other forms of produc-
ton"
In Philadelphia. Maury Maverick,
chairman of the Smaller War Plants
Corp, told press conference that
the Brewster contract cancellation
is just one example of what will be
happening all over the country.
A reconversion program for re-
sumption of civilian production at
all plants should be started now, he
said, as surpluses are beginning to
develop.
New work is in prospect for the
Brewster employees.

The Greyhound Garage OF
Washington, Inc, today refused
to abide by q War Labor Board
directive to take striking workers
back without discipline, holding
that the order would leave the
company without directive con-
troll of its employees"
This move. in the form of a tele-
gram to the WLB, came shortly
before striking mechanics Of the
garage and drivers for the Penn
sylyania Greyhound, who struck In
sympathy with the mechanics. ap-
peared before the WLB for q hear
ing on their refusal to return to
work in accordance with the boards
instructions. The mechanics have
been out more than a week, the
drivers since last Saturday. The
hearing was postponed until 1890
am. tomorrow. when company ON
cials also will be required to be
present.
The telegram was signed by L. G.
Major, vice president of the Grey
hound Garage, where the strike
started more than a week ago. The
main point at issue between the
garage management and members
of Local 1893 Of the Amalgamated
Street, Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees Of America (AFL)
according to union men, was the
|company's alleged failure to accord
seniority rights to returning former
|servicemen.
When informed Of Mr.. Majors
telegram, Rolla Anderson, chairman
of local unions on the Greyhound
system east Of the Mississippi River
and north OF the Ohio River, said
This puts . different complexion
on things"
Mr.. Andersons council OF union
leaders yesterday rejected a pro-
posed system-wide strike In support
of the walkout in this region be-
cause the WLB's order Of May 81
guaranteed protection to returning
workers.
He said there would be another
meeting here tomorrow to take up
the new situation, after the WLB
hearing.
+ In statement today, Mr.. Major
said:
Every former employe who has,
and will, return from the service
win be credited with his accumu-
lated seniority plus any increase in
pay rate for his Job that might have
accrued during his absence

union and the firm concerned Grey

The scene resembled pictures of
battlefields, they said. Subway traf-
f1c on four lines was halted for 46
minutes.
Many Of the victims were subway
passengers, affected when the gas
descended through ventilators into
two subway stations. Hundreds of
passengers were made i'll and fled to
the streets where they, too, were
overcome and fell to the sidewalks.
Rescue efforts began within a few
minutes after the gas was first de-
tected.
More than score of ambulances
were dispatched to the scene with
police and fire units. A police detail
visited every home in the area seek
ing possible victims.
Thirty-three doctors, a nurses
and 16 Red Cross nurses aides adj
ministered emergency treatment at
the scene. A detachment of gas
masked soldiers also aided.

on the truck, operated by John G..
Golliver, As, of Brooklyn, who told
police that:
He detected fumes and stopped the
vehicle to investigate. Discovering
chlorine escaping from one cylinder,
he asked pedestrian for aid in re-
moving the tank, but was overcome.

Defends PAC
Against Law

san FANCISCO, Oct. 25. UP)-
The CIO Political Action Commit
tee, although engaged in politics,
is not violating Smith -Connally act
provisions forbidding labor unions
to contribute to election campaigns,
Aubrey Grossman, CIO attorney:
told a congressional subcommittee
investigating campaign eXpenol-
lures.
Grossman interrupted questioning
of Richard Lynden, president OF the
international Longshoremen's ana
Warehousemen's Union Local 8, by
hepres entative E. C. Gathings (D),
Arkansas, to present his interpreta-
lion of the PAC's activities.
Lvndn had testified that members
of his local, through monthly as
sessments, had contributed $27,S23
in a 1O-mcnth period this year.
Representative Gathings, presiding
at the hearing in federal district
court room, asked him if he was
aware of the Smith-Connally act
provisions forbidding labor union
contributions to election cam
paigns.
Grossman. who had been sworn
in as a witness, interrupted:
THE Interpretation on which tne
PAC is acting" he said, lis this
The Smith -Connally act does not
! restrict a union or union group
such as the PAC from making
known to its members or the people
generally its position on canol-
| dates"
You take it that the PAC is not
in politics." Representative Gath
ings aSkcd. .,.
"They are engaged in politics,
GroSsman replied. 1T is the form
hat is not within the Smith-Con
nallv act meaning. Congress could
not have intended 100000 People
to lose the right to tell others their
views. No congressman would take
away the right of the people to say
what they think
do you approve of the act?'
Gathings asked.
Rather not" GroSsman said.
LINDEN said LEGAL members
made two different types Of contri-
buttons to PAC. Local members
themselves voted a 25 cents month
assessment, while the union treas
ury paid $1,000 a month so far, he
testified. In addition to this, he
said. union members had made 9TH
CT contributions averaging rs cents
apiece for a total of $4,000
