NEW YORK, June 23.-From
somewhere at sea, communica-
ton signed "7he Crew of the U. s. S.
Coos Bay" seaplane tender, and
offering Ito help pay the wage in
crease money-hungry strikers are
demanding" has aroused labor
leaders to vigorous rebuttal.
Making the point that wage de-
mands were not involved in the
strike to which the Coos Bay letter
specifically referred, two labor lead
ers contended organized labor is
doing its utmost to curb all
stoppages and keep production roll
ing. One asserted newspaper pub
fishers were creating deep feel
ing of antagonism between labor
and the armed forces"
The Coos Bay letter was addressed
to the editorial department of the
Associated Press at San Francisco,
and enclosed s412 in paper money.
The letter requested that the
Associated Press s"act as our agent
to buy of the present strikers Of
the Wright Aircraft Corp"
Strike Unauthorized.
The letter evidently referred to- an
unauthorized strike, which began
June 5 at the plant of the Wright
| Aeronautical Corp. at Lockland,
Ohio, near Cincinnati The strike
ended June 8. The issue was the
transfer of seven Negroes into a
department of the plant which pre-
viously had only white workers.
Local CAT, United Automobile
Workers (CIO), represents the
workers for bargaining purposes.
From the beginning Of the walk
out, officials of the union urged the
strikers to return, and vigorously
condemned the work stoppage.
Robert Spitzmiller, president of the
local, also telegraphed shop stewards
to instruct workers to go back to
their posts, and appealed to their
patriotism. Production at the plant
