Canadian Strike Nearing Gilman;
 JAW Avaits Reply to Complaint
GM and Workers Schedule ToIks

Detroit, Nov. 9.-CUP) The CLOS United Automobile Workers and General Motors Corporation pre- pared to resume wage negotiations today as they awaited government action on the JAWS complaint of unfair labor practices against the company.
 H. w. Anderson, General Motors yice-president, denied the charge last night as unjust and abbsurd" on the ground that the company had made two counter proposals to the unions demand for a 30 per cent wage increase.
 The union filed it's complaint of unfair practices with the local Ma tional Labor Relations Board office yesterday. At the same time it in- formed the Department of Labor that negotiations were deadlocked and required immediate mediation intervention by the federal govern ment.
 The JAW action came as JAW Vice President Walter Reuther re- jected General Motors second coun- ter proposal yesterday. General Mo tors offered cost of living increases of eight to 10 per cent.
 The first company counter pro- posal suggested that the union join the company in a request t O the government for 45-hour week dur ing the reconyersion period so that take-home pay would not be cut too sharply. The union flatly reject ed the plan.
 JAW workers in Ford plants throughout the nation joined Gen. eral Motors and Chrysler workers yesterday in voting to strike in sup port of the 30 per cent demand Ford contract negotiations were scheduled to begin November 20.

Series Cellar

Hidden by the thrill minute
battle for the top spots in the inter-
high baseball league is a little
drama that is attracting much in
terest. It's the fight for the cellar
championship currently being waged
by Anacostia and Tech. Obviously
a pennant nobody wants, the pale
pink gonfalon has drooped over
both camps.
Anacostia, after taking four
straight beatings without winning
game, was the first to climb out
of the basement by licking Roose-
velt, leaving Tech alone in the
storm cellar. Suddenly, lonely with
out its last-place mate, however,
Tech kicked over the applicant yes

Tech slapped down Roosevelt, 3

for eighth place with records Of one
win and five tumbles, and the out

race is anybody's bet. 1t will be a
fight all the way.

Rough Riders to four scattered hits

drawn request for cancellation of

The ODT originally asked DR.. ]. B.

American League, and Thomas T.

tional League, to eliminate the game
this year.
Later, it was said, Martin ex-
planned that the all-star game was

tation. The ODT accepted this view
and told Martin it now no longer
objects to the game being played.
In correspondence with Martin
and Wilson, ODT called attention
to the critical" transportation sit

to curtail travel as much as pos

The ODT said it had no objection
to the playing of regularly sched-
