cause OF Strike

WASHINGTON, April 27.-(R-
Industry in March made it's great
est gains since VJ-Dary, the Civil
ian Production Administration re-
ported tonight, but April will show
a slump because of the coal strike.
March progress showed up not
only in goods but in jobs, said the
monthly report of CPA Administra-
or John D Small. 1t added that
"civilian employment move
sharply upward for the first time
since the end Of the war"
Some $500, 900 Americans were
working, gain of 100000 over
February, Despite the cuts in
manufacture of war goods, civilian
employment is about 5000, 900 high
er than a year ago, small reported.
This is an extremely significant
indication Of the high level of
production activity IN the country
at the present time" he observed.
Although 100000 veters were re-
leased into the labor market in
Marca, unemployment rose only
$4,000 to a total Of 2,710,0O by
census figures. The seasonaly up
turn in farm work absorbed many

cused OF Coercion In
Bribery Charges

! BALTIMORE, April 27.- up -
William Hutcheson, general presi
dent of the United Brotherhood ol
Carpenters and Joiners AF1l,
stood accused today by the PRO
therhood's suspended Baltimore
local of "coercing and intimidat-
ing and bribing'' certain witnesses
to withhold testimony concerning
an alleged s244, O30.30 embezzle-
ment of the locals funds.
At Lakeland, Fla, Hutcheson, a
vice president cf the American
Federation of Labor and a mem
Der of the federation's executive
council, declined to comment, i'm
mediately on the charge, saying
81 would have to know more about
it before I would make any COM
ment, because this is the first / had
heard OF it.
The Baltimore local was suspend
ed at the Brotherhood convention
at Lakeland last Tuesday.
The charges were contained in
one of two separate injunction peti-
tons filed yesterday in the union
controversy before Judge Michael
j. Manley in circuit court. The
brotherhood and the locals both
asked iajunotions for different pur-
poses.
The parent organization asked
the court to order the local, which
it described as menace to the
international body" to turn over
to the brotherhood its records and
assets, estimated at more than
S700, 900. The petition contended that
unless restrained by the court the
local would "dissipate, secrete,
Corr dispose of (the assets)."
The local unions petition asked
the court for a temporary decree
holding that the Florida convention
was dominated by false and
fraudulent statements" ordering
the opening of the brotherhood
books and restoring to office Gott-
hart Hanson. expelled local presi-
dent.
Judge Manley issued an order
temporarily restraining the local
from disposlng of its property and
ordering it to turn the property
and books over to the brotherhood.
He gave the local five days in
which to move for resembling of the
order.
In Its suit, the local said that
Henry w. Blumenberg was ap-
pointed local administrator by
Hutcheson in 1927. During the next
II hears, the petition continued,
Blumenberg, "togetherwi tn his as
sociates did embezzle from the
funds of said local large sums of
money, being not less than $244,
O30.30."
