ton Of the arbitration plan was
based on two points-that the pro-
vision of selecting the arbitrator was
indefinite and because the memo
randum provided for arbitration of
some IA issues.
Ten days ago before the Com
missioners even entered the pic
ture," Mr.. McGarraghy said, "the
union had reduced the issues to
FIVE"
Previously the companies had
said they would arbitrate the wage
issue only. The union has been
willing to arbitrate the entire mat
ter.
The city heads said they consid-
cred this memorandum as fair and
reasonable"
Mr.. McGarraghy said he had SUBJ
mitted a proposal to the Commits
sioners Tuesday morning calling for
arbitration of the wage issue by
Judge Barse. The companies will
stand on that proposal, he said, in
dicating that no further negotia-
tions were Immediately in prospect.
Unions Called stubborn"
In statement covering the COM
panies' attitude from the outset of
differences, Mr.. McGarraghy said
union refusal to yield to unlimited
arbitration reflected "a stubborn or
arbitrary attitude"
1T follows well recognized con-
'cept Of both management and labor
except where, as in this instance
labor hopes to save something from
the wreckage which it alone Gre
ated,' he said.
He said that prior to expiration
Of the unions contract with the
Labor Relations Council, District
Trucking Association. on August 81,
a union representative rendered a
new contract and the unions de
mands were insisted upon without
change"
The union representative further
stated that any compromise offer
would not be considered by the
union, Mr.. McGarraghy added.
Recalls Wage Increases.
THE employees involved have re-
ceived wage increases every year
since January l, l941, and those in
creases have met the increase in cost
of living as stated by Federal off,
cials, the statement said. The wage
policy speech by President Truman
on October %. l945, stated that the
cost OF living has increased 30 per
cent since January !, 194l. The
director of Economic Sterilization
has fixed SO per cent as the basis for
wage increases on the cost of living
formula"
Mr., McGarraghy said the en-
ployes have not suffered, and do
not face any reduction in take
home pay and will continue to en-
JOY their wartime compensation"
After several weeks of work stop
page, during which the union gave
no thought to the welfare of the
public, and having failed by the use
OF economic pressure to bring the

organized industry to It's knees, the
union now beats its breast, pro-
claims its high ideals and loudly
calls for arbitration. hoping thereby
to marshal the sympathy OF a
wounded and suffering public" the
statement said.
The union. besides asking wage
increases ranging up to GA cents an
hour, has made l6 other demands,
including vacations and sick and In
jury benefits.
The strike has severely crippled
Washington businesses by tying up
goods in Washington rail yards in
unloaded freight cars. Eleven other
trucking firms have signed contracts
with the union. The IL strike
bound companies employ 240 men.
Mr. Stream said.
Neither Mr.. O'Brien nor Mr..
Stream had any comment on the
memorandum on leaving the Com
missioners last night, permitting the
city heads to make the announce
ment. The memorandum was con-
sidered possibly the final effort of
the Commissioners to settle the
strike.
Point by point in the proposed
settlement the union agreed:
To arbitrate all issues in dispute
between the carriers and them
selves as they existed in the pro-
posed contract presented by the
union.
To accept an arbitrator selected
by the president of the Board of
Commissioners or by the chief judge
of Municipal Court.
To split jointly with the operators
the cost of arbitrations, If any, not
to exceed $25 day.
Retroactive Provisions.
That any decision by the arbitra-
tor would be retroactive to the ex-
piration date of the 1943-45 con-
tract.
To appointment of the arbitrator
within five days and that the arbi-
tration take place within five days
thereafter.
To immediate return to work by
the strikers following acceptance OF
the arbitrator's decision by the en-
ployers.
To have the arbitrator's findings
made within five days after hearings
on the matter and that the decision
should be final and binding.
In the main the wage argument
has been over proposed differential
for drivers of the big truck trailers
and over the union demands for a
years contract. The companies have
contended it should be a two-year
contract and have hinted a willing
ness to deal on an across the

board wage increase. It was said
that some OF the companies already
signed did not employ as many Of
the big truck traiiers as those now
involved In the controversy and
hence were not too much affected by
the proposed differential. Federal
labor conciliators have tried with
out apparent success to have nego-
tiations resumed.

ThurSton.
The shocking story of ten who
had sinned and were marked for
murder in weekend of horror
on an island of mystery, and
were struck down one by one to
the terrifying tune of the "Nurs-
, ery Rhyme" killer, is peopled
with as provocative a gallery OF
characters as has ever reached
the screen. They are: the judge
who hanged an innocent man
BARRY Fitzgerald); the drunken
doctor who killed his patient
(Walter Huston); the exiled Rus
sian prince whose speeding car
sent two to their death (Mlscha
Auer); the school teacher who
left her nephew to die alone
Judith Anderson); the explorer
who is alleged to have killed
twenty-one tribesmen (Louis
Hayward; the detective who
railroaded q man to the gallows
(Roland Young): retired gen.
eral whi killed his wife's ad-
mirer (Sir c. Aubrey SMITH;
beautiful girl who is. accused of
having murdered her sisters
financee (June Duprez); and a
butler and cook who murdered
their employer for her money
Orchard Haydn and Queenie
Leonard).
It Is this group of ten strangely
assorted people, unknown to each
other, who are tricked into Wis
iting a lonely house on an island
somewhere in England. They
soon realize they have been ma
rooned and abandoned. 1t is more
obvious that this is a party with
terror and death in the air when
their host does not show up;
when his voice suddenly fills the
room accusing each of the ten
with unpunished crimes in the
past and when he further in
forms them that he has taken it
upon himself to see to it that
they pay the proper penalty for
their crimes-death.
Before the night is over, the
guests see their unseen hosts
plan bginning to be put into
action: one of them chokes to
death on a poisoned drink. They
also learn that they are the only
people on the entire island.
Through horribly suspenseful
hours of the next day, seven
more guests meet a violent
death; as each Is murdered, the
number of suspects as to who is
the actual murderer narrows ac-
cordingly.
Finally, only two are left-a
boy and a girl in love-and each
uncertain as to whether or not
the other Is the murderer.
