UNION STUDIES PLAN
Knight, after hearing th'
fiery labor secretary make hi'
proposal said:
AS a union we operate on a
democratic principle and we
will have to study the proposal
carefully before answering"
Schwellenbach pulled no punches
on the weary, hot conferees wher
he stalked into their conferenc,
room five minutes after midnigh
and launched into his behemen
address. Representatives had beer
haggling IA hours with only brie
recesses for food. Neither sid,
would make the slightest con
cession.
'If this strike should be ex-
tended it would put I'm jeopardy
the very life blood of American
economy" he said.
MUST BE SETTLED
Lack Of oil and gas would
soon result In shutting down
vital industries, making recon-
version and employment impos-
sible.
''If this strike continues into
the winter the people will be
hungry and cold. Return of our
troops from overseas will be
delayed. II must be settled"
The secretary said he knew hi

tasteful to both sides. but we ar,

"Never has there been any
evidence OF yielding on either

the eoneiliation panel to bring

Schwellenbach said. 81 am con-

frankly to recognize the futility
Of continuing this panel dis

LEADERS CALLED
Local leaders of the striking

ference late today. The union
group included Earl Burnett,
president of Local 3S9, IOWU;
Fred Fell, secretary-treasurer:.
Roy Welsh, Lyle Ward and Harry
Kerens, three members of the
strike policy committee.
IOWU officials said they will
continue their program of distri-

Schwellenbach s gnat es the
proper authority" to whom he di-
rected the union TO relinquiSh

The unions policy committee
scheduled meeting for late today
TO consider special requests for
emergency gasoline. A spokesman
said gasoline was being furnished
furnace repair men and other
service agencies on an emergency
basis, but only in cases of
emergency in which hospital or
home was without heat or some
other essential.
Scholle denied the unions were
"rationing" gasoline. stating that
I'VE are making distribution as
best we can TO essential users be-
cause of the public demand"

streetcars, and an example of cir

partly constructed Fort drive.
The present system uses far too
many streets as arteries, the report
says, with too few of them func-
tioning as such. There are too many
intersections caused by diagonal
avenues, particularly in the down.
town area, where avenues converge,
it continues.
Hence, it advocates reduction in
the number of arteries, with an in
crease in the efficiency of those
selected to continue their function

Two Features Sought.
Urban dwellers desire two things
which are incompatible, the report
says quick access to through

the same time minimum of noise

The report proposed to overhaul
the existing system to combine a
maximum of efficiency with a maxi
mum of privacy.
To this end it advocates increased

confinement of streetcar service to
