Government.
The only way you can gel
grievance machinery is through the
War Labor Board" Mr.. Davis said
at the hearing. you handicap
yourself by putting the United
States Government on the other
fellows side. and you just can't win
Says Strike win Be Broken.
"You can't win. Your strike will
be broken. The work will be done
If you take on the United States
Government in time of war, you are
licked"
Mr.. Davis told MFR. Keys and the
other Forernan's Association officers
that the way to handle their prob
lem was to call of the strikes and
come before the board. The work
stoppages have left nearly $4,000
war workers idle.
Mr.. Davis said the board would
havc to proceed under the War La
boT Disputes Act and that that
eventually would mean seizure of
the plants IL the strike did not end
Seizure would make criminal pro-
visions of the act operative, he
pointed out.
Mr.. Keys said the National Labor
Relations Board had ruled it could
not order the employers to enter
collective bargaining and added
that employers who pirate SO loudly
about patriotism have refused even
q conference.
Says Employers Won't Act.

we want to talk about. They have
said we win not meet you. period"
"We do not relish this strike" he
continued I'VE do not think it is
right from a patriotic standpoint,
but frankly we can't blame any one
but the Government"
Hudson Curtaiis Work.
The exact total made idle because
of the foremen's dispute could not
be determined, since the Hudson
Motor Car Co., one of the concerns
affected, announced only that it was
shutting down some of its assembly
lines" today and did not make
known the number of employees
affected
Explaining they were acting with
the approval of Army officers, Hud-I
son officials said the shutdown was
because of the unauthorized alb
sence of certain supervisors" and in
order better to insure the quality Of
its product"
Their action followed by only o.
few hours the closing of the Briggs
Manufacturing Co., Mack avenue
plant, which management attributed
to the refusal Of the Nays Bureau
of Aeronautics to accept any more of
its output. Nearly 10000 Briggs
employees were involved.
Other Disputes Spread Idleness.
Only $500 foremen have been ON
strike, but idleness of production
workers created by their walkout
already had reached a ratio of
more than 10 to j, and unrelated
disputes in other war plants in De-
troit and several cities out-State
have brought the total number of
idle war workers in Michigan to
more than 10000. This figure inelud-
ed $500 at seven Chrysler Corp
plants, $500 at Graham Paige, 1,400
at the Buick Aluminium Foundry at
Flint.
Approximately 2,200 employees of
the Clayton Lambert Manufactur-
ing Co. returned to work today.
They walked out Tuesday protesting
what workers said was company re-
fusal to give them q five-minute
wash period before quitting time.
Similarly, strikes involving q
smaller number of workers at the
Federal Mogul Co. and the Great
Lakes Steel Corp ended today.

CAROLINA BEACH
TAX RATE $l.l3

The Carolina Beach board of AL
derman Wednesday adopted a bud
get of ST., $3.50 for the fiscal year
Of 1944-45 and continued the tax
rate at $1.13, Town Clerk Henry
G. Fennell reported yesterday.
The request by the Chamber of
Commerce Military Affairs COM
mittee for an appropriation of 5000
to promote military installations
and industrial projects in N e w
Hanover county was disapproved
by the board on the authority of
a ruling handed down by Town
Attorney Emmett Bellamy.
The town clerk quoted Benamy
as ruling that the town had no
authority to appropriate money to
the chamber committee, unless lit
was specifically set up in the tax
rate" Fennell said that in order
to make the, appropriation a spe-
cial act of the legislature would
be required to allow the town to
hol an election to assess taxa
ton to bear the expense.
Fennell said, however, there was
possibility that the 5000 might
be solicited from among Caro-
lima Beach citizens.
Chief items in the budget are:
general fund, $4,005; police depart
ment, Slabs; fire department, &c.
ALSO; sanitation department, $6,-

INDIVIDUALS BUY
MOST OF BONDS

Individual New Hanover citizens
invested $4,398,750 in all types of
bond issues during the Fifth War
Loan drive to purchase 80 per cent
of the war bond quota of $5,707, 900,
officials disclosed yesterday as
they announced final figures on
the last bond campaign.
The bond buying was described
as splendid record and one
not to be compared with any pre-
vious bond campaigns, Overall
sales during the Fighting Fifth"
amounted to $8,279,143, and Series
&c" investments were $2,430, 270,
as against a goal of $2,190,000
In paying high tribute to tne in
dividuals who bought bonds dur
ing the Fifth drive, officials pointed
out that more, than half Of the
bonds bought were by individual
citizens. This is unusual" Off
Gals said, for in most drives the
principal investment is by business
concerns.

emy plane after getting in a fight
with three aircraft. 81 was in a

man told officers back at his base
in Italy. "They were all shooting
at me and was doing my best to
lit them. Finally one of them got
in front of me and / let him have
it,"

A summer recreational program
for youngsters and adults will be
instituted June 1, according to r.
w. Taylor, principal of Coolidge
union high school.

day that softball will furnish the
core" of the program and that he
and Coach Glenn Wilson, wto will
be in charge, are anxious to get
started as soon as possible.
Interested parties are asked to
register with Taylor or Wilson or
with Arthur Wichern at the Cool
idge Examiner office so that some
idea may be gained as to how many
teams can be developed. Taylor
said that at first the play will be
more or less unorganized with a
league being formed later. Teams
will be divided up as to ability so
that they will be as well matched as
possible to make for increased in
terest in the games, which, will be
played under lights at night.
Wilson and Taylor are interested
in getting a goodly number out for
the new recreational program,
which will include boys and girls
and men and women. other sports,
such as tennis, will be included II
enough interest is shown. There
is hope that a shop handicraft pro-
gram for youngsters can be worked
out and also a children's daytime
recreational program.
Tie program will be under the
auspices of the high school, which
will bear the larger part Of the ex-
pense. Some of the cost will be
met through the paper salvage
campaign. High school equipment
will be used.
Taylor urged that those interest
ed, register at once.
