|Conciliafor Appointed
To Settle Threatened
Cafeteria Strike Here

| The Labor Departments Concilia-
ton Service has appointed James
A. Holden to seek to avert q strike
by employees of Government cafete-
rias when their present wage con-
tract expires December /.
The workers, members of United
Federal Workers of America, Local
Al, CLIO. seek a 80 per cent wage
increase and a minimum of IS cents
an hour. At present, Government
Services, Inc, spokesman said today,
the minimum wage Is IS cents q
hour, q figure which includes meals.
The spokesman said the union has
been informed that Government
Services, Inc, has been operating at
a loss since last April Is, when the
War Labor Board approved a 3h-
cent wage increase for cafeteria en-
ployes, retroactive to January /,
1945, and unless the once of Price
Administration consents to an In
crease in cafeteria prices, it will
be impossible to meet union de-
mands.
The spokesman said the financial
position Of Government Services
Inc, was aggravated in addition by
return to 40-hour week for most
Government employees and loss OF
patronage due to layoffs of Federal
employees in Washington.
In a statement yesterday Oliver
Palmer, union business agent, said
Government Services, Inc, has re-
fused to bargain for a new wage
scale.
The union, he said, decided to ask
the Labor Department to conduct a
strike vote at a full membership
meeting November 5. Mr.. Palmer
said, 'The corporation has refused
to submit any facts showing its need
Of price relief, on the grounds that
such facts are solely the business OF
the corporation and not proper mat
tiers for discussion with the union
The Government Services, Inc,
spokesman said his organization had
shown union representatives profit
and loss statements but that the
union had asked to inspect the cor
poration's operational balance

to halt illegal immigration into

ers deplored q two-day reign OF
violence in Tel Aviv estimated te
have caused more than 100 cas-
ualties and $500, 600 property
damage.
5 With quiet at last reported re.
stored to the troubled city, Isaac

vattributing the riots to ''irrespon.
sible youths" and declaring they
were highly detrimental to the
Jewish cause"
He added that Jewish leaders had
urged self-discipline and nonviol-
ence.
Jews Oppose Outbreaks.
At the same time. the pro-Zionisi
Palestine Post declared editorially
that all responsible Jews strongly
disapproyed the outbreaks In TIE
Aviv. Describing the rioting as "a
Ghoddy episode" the Post said:
-. There Is no Jew worthy Of the
name but will associate himself
from Fascist terrorism which swoops
and strikes where the victims are
few and defenseless.
THAT British firms should have
been singled out for destruction and
plumber is q stain which every Jew
of decent feeling will long carry
In shame"
/. Dispatches from Tel Aviv declared
the city was quiet last night as
British armored cars and troops Of
the reinforced British 9Th Airborne
division patrolled the streets en-
forcing strict curfew. Mai. Gen.

hshed last night In the official ga
sette, put new teeth In the British
campaign to halt illegal immigra-
ton. The regulations empower any

Ger or village headman to arrest any
