ly entered the old walls Of the
building and spread through
them at points inaccessible to
those who reached the scene at
the first alarm.
No adequate supply Of water
was available at the scene and
the four fire departments re-
spending soon exhausted their
tanks. The largest water supply
was that of Utica, which rushed
q 1,000.gallon auxiliary tank as
well as the regular 300-gallon
tank to the scene.
Despite a furious wind which
whipped the fire to a roaring
blaze, firemen had practically
fought the fire to a standstill
when the water was exhausted.
Several nearby residences and
a store opposite the tavern were
endangered by flying embers
and firemen had to divide their
efforts between the seat OF the
fire and other buildings.
Practically none of the tavern
equipment and building furnish
ings were saved and only a small

of Mr.. and Mrs. Scripnek was
removed before flames con-

Total Of Sfrike-IdIe
Reaches $4,000; Big
Enqine Plants Affected

BY the Associated Press.
The Nations strike list today
passed the $4,000 mark for the high
est total in almost three weeks.
New reports of work stoppages,
idling thousands, dissipated hopes
of "a hours ago that the country's
total off jobs through labor disputes
would drop below 10000.
The $4,000 idle from more than a
score of work stoppages was the
biggest since the end of the rubber
strikes in Akron, Ohio, early this
month. Indications were that about
$4,000 workers returned to their jobs
as disputes were settled. The largest
single contributing factor to the
upward trend was labor dispute
at the Wright Aeronautical Corp.
plants in New Jersey.
$500 Workers Strike.
A CIO-United Automobile Work.
ers' spokesman estimated that 1880
employees in plants in Woodbridge,
Paterson and East Paterson, N. j.,
were off their jobs and that produc-
tion of engines of Super Fortresses
at the Woodbridge factory was at
a virtual standstill.
The strike which started in Wood
Ridge Friday and spread to the
two other plants resulted, union
spokesman said, over discharge of
a steward John McGrail. president
of UAW Local $50, however, termed
the walkout unauthorized and said
union members were urged to re-
turn to work.
Strikers claimed the stoppage
Stemmed from the stewards dis
charge and delay in War Labor
Board decision on a contract dis
pute The company said the WLB
and the contract were not involved
and said 1t would give immediate
hearing on the stewards case after
resumption of production.
Two other large walkouts were
added to the list during the last "a
hours. In Savannah, Ga, a walkout
of 400 machinists in wage dispute
at the Southeastern Shipbuilding
Corp. made idle more than $500
workers in the building of AV-1
ships Another $500 were idle at
the Chevrolet division of General
Motors in Cincinnati in a dispute
over transfer of plant manager.
Union officials said his return would
end the walkout.
Butchers Strike Spreads.
Meat supplies in the st. Louis
metropolitan area hit new low as
the strike of AFL butchers spread
to fifth plant, putting the total on
strike at 1900. The butchers, ig-
noring a WLB back-to-work order,
struck in a dispute over wage ne
gotiations.
The biggest return of workers to
their jobs was in Detroit. Most Of
the more than 10000 made idle by
the closing of 200 lumber yards in
the Detroit area were back on the
job after dealers reopened their
yards yesterday after a stoppage
since last week. Another 5000 De-
troit workers, employed at the
United States Rubber Co. plant,
were being sent back to their jobs
today by CIO-United Rubber Work
ers' officials.
Major film studios in Hollywood
obtained a court order restraining
Screen ONCE Employees Guild from
calling a proposed strike pending a
hearing tomorrow. The studios
claim the union voted the walkout
despite the no-strike pledge in a
controversy which started last
March II between two unions over
which should have jurisdiction over
IT film-set designers.
A strike vote notice at North
Americans aviation plant at Grand
Prairie, Tex, was filed by the UAW,
which represents 5000 workers.
