BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. GA
spokesman for AFL unions in con-
troversy with A. J. Higgins declared
yesterday that union members would
return to work Immediately at the
three closed Higgins plants here if
the industrialist would retract pub
lie statements denouncing them.
William l.. Donnels, publicity rep
resentative of the Metal Trades and

u. 5. Steel Officials
Offer operation
In Strike Vote Plans
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The United States Steel Corp.
told the National Labor Relations
Board yesterday it would coop
crate in making arrangements for
strike vote November 20 among
some 100000 CIO employees in 13 of
its subsidiaries.
John A. Stephens, vice president
of the United States Steel Corp. Of
Delaware, informed NLRB that the
company's offer of cooperation in
arranging the ballot was made Gin
spite of its conviction that the
strike vote Is contrary to the labor
agreement now in effect" between
the subsidiaries and the CIO steel
workers.
CIO President Philip Murray,
who also heads the steel workers,
earlier had denounced as Shocking
and arrogant United States Steel's
refusal of a Government request
that it resume wage negotiations
with the union, which is asking for
a S2-a-day wage increase.
Referring to the Labor Manage
ment Conference, Mr.. Murray de-
clared, "at a time when industry
and labor are meeting, under Gov
ernment sponsorship, it is rather
startling to have the Government
be given such blunt refusal by
such an important segment of in
dustry"
Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach had asked the company and
the union to reopen negotiations
under special conciliator. The
union agreed, but United States
Steel President Benjamin F. Fair
less said existing price ceilings pre-
cluded raising wages, and that nego-
tiations would be useless until the
price question was settled.
Bethlehem Steel Co. protested a
strike vote notice filed by the CIO
steelworkers, asserting there was a
no-strike clause In its contract with
the union.
Earlier, the NLRB had said it
lacked legal authority to disregard
a union strike vote request where
the union planned a strike in viola
ton of contract agreement bar
ring walkouts. The question had
been raised by. Republic Steel Corn.

GIN Declares Union S
Charge Of Refusal
To Bargain Is Unjust
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT. Nov. 9.-General Mo-
tors Corp today described as unjust
and absurd" union charges that the
company has refused to bargain COL
lectively on demands for 80 per cent
wage rate increases for its 325 900
employees.
The company statement, issued a
few hours after the CIO United Auto
Workers filed a complaint with the
National Labor Relations Board here
said the UAW's position was mot
borne out by the facts"
The union has demanded So hours
pay for 40 hours work and General
Motors has made two counterpro-
posals, the latest of which was an
increase of approximately 10 per
cent to cover an adjustment in the
cost of living that has occurred be-
tween January, 1941, and September,
1945,' the GIN statement declared.
THE union rejected both of our
proposals, but Notwithstanding the
unions charges, General Motors will
continue today discussions of
our latest proposals" declared H. w.
Anderson, GIN vice president.
JAW Vice President Walter P.
Reuther, who filed the union COM
plant, also indicated willingness to
continue negotiations in an effort to
settle the wage controversy.
"As far as we are concerned, We'll
still continue negotiations hoping
the corporations attitude will
change and that they will begin to
bargain in good faith" he asserted
Mr.. Reuther, in his petition asking
for Government intercession in the
dispute, charged that the corpora
ton while pleading inability to pay
a wage increase" at the same time
refused to discuss its ability to pay
with the union.
At Washington. the United States
Cancellation Service refused to COM
ment on the UAW's charges, but said
that if the company now agrees, it
will name conciliators to attend the
union management meetings.
The company previously rejected a
union proposal for presence of the
conciliators.
Additional Importance was at
tached to the General Motors situa-
ton as preliminary reports from all
sections of the country showed Ford
Motor Co. workers had followed the
lead of Chrysler and General Motors
in calling for a strike if their de-
mands are not met.

Drive Opening Today
Bob Hope Show Gives
Campaign in District
Big Send-Off Tonight

The $4,000, 100000 Seventh
War Loan drive opens tomorrow
the most important war loan
to date in the eyes of Treasury
officials coping simultaneously
with continuing war costs and
the rising threat of imitation.
The drive here-for $4,000, ,000-
will get sendoff from Bob Hope in
a three-hour show for bond buyers
at 8 o'clock tonight at Uline Arena.
Nationally. the four major networks
will carry a starting signal" ap-
peal from Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau at 8:55 o'clock to-
night. Radio Station WRC will
c>rry the Hope show from $50 to
8:55 o'clock. Radio Station WTOP
will feature John Garfield and
Agnes Moorehead from Hollywood
during the same period. Radio Sta
tions WMAL and VOL also planned
to carry broadcasts by other Holly
wood stars from $3.50 to 8:55 o'clock.
The District and the national
goals are not much larger than
previous drives but they are more
dependent on individual buyers.
Half of each goal is expected to be
met by the man and woman buying
a s25 or a $100 War Bond in the
Office, the store or the theater.
Previously, the greater portion of
the goals were assigned to corporate
buyers who this time have the same
assignment as the individuals.
Series of Shows Arranged.
This drive is the most crucial of
all, Treasury officials said, because
war costs will not begin to drop
until next fall. In addition, the
supply of consumer goods is at its
lowest ebb at the same time that
consumers have more money than
ever before. To fight imitation, it is
essential to finance as much of the
war as possible out of consumers
pocketbooks, the Treasury said.
To interest individual buyers, w.

.0PA Finds 70 Million
Fake Red Coupons
Ry the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 12-Twenty
million counterfeit red ration cou-
pons, described by Daniel P. Woolley,
regional OPA administrator, as the
largest seizure of its kind in OPA
history, were found today in a Brook
lyn home.
Mr.. Woolley said the amount was
equivalent to one months ration
allotment for approximately half of
New York City's population.
OPA agents and police who raided
the home also seized, Mr.. Woolley
said, counterfeit gasoline coupons
for 2,500,000 gallons and counterfeit
sugar coupons for 6,250,000 pounds.
He added that six members of a
family living in the house were
taken into custody for questioning.
Those taken into custody were a
63-year-old retired butcher, his two
sons, both butchers, and his three
daughters.
Paul L.. Ross, regional OPA en-
forcement executive, said he believed
the house was the major drop
or central point for deposit-of
counterfeit ration coupons in New
York and on the entire Eastern
Seaboard.
An OPA official estimated that
at current valuation in counterfeit
circles the fake coupons were worth
approximately $4,000, 900.
The coupons were found, Mr..
Woolley said, when police and OPA
agents were called by flremen who
had discovered some bogus gas
coupons after extinguishing a fire
in a garage under the house.
A search of the house disclosed
fresh packages of coupons hidden
in closets and in secret floor COM
partments, it was said.

there was every reason to hope for
