Two Meetings
Called toAvert
Bakers Strike
Union Insistent
Employers Give
More-Work PLEDGE

Efforts to forestall bakers strike
which would shut of about 80 per
cent Of the Districts normal bread
supply will be continued in two
meetings tomorrow, Charles B. Nc
Closky, business agent Of Local 1l8,
Bakery Workers International Union
(AFL). said today.
Whether the strike will be called
depends largely on what promises
for more nour-and more work for
bakers-can be given at a joint
meeting of the union and employers
at 10 am. tomorrow.
-Four hours later the union will
meet to consider strike action based
on guarantees of steadier employ
ment from the employers. The
unions Executive Committee is au-
thorized to call strike at any time
without a vote of the membership.
No Action Until Monday.
Mr.. McClosky indicated the strike
call will be deferred at least until
after Monday, when he is scheduled
to appear before the Senate Small
Businessmen's Committee. Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson also will
testify on the domestic wheat situa-
ton.
II don't know what relief the
committee can give u.s." Mr.. Nc
Closky said, but tits the only group
that has at least bothered about our
condition. Everywhere else we have
gone We have run into a stone wall. :"
The District is getting less than
10 per cent of the flour now being
milled, although the Agriculture De-
partment promised rs per cent for
domestic consumption, Mr.. McClosky
added.
Mills Closed by Tuesday.
BY Tuesday, all mills will be shut
down with the June allotments al
ready milled, the union leader add
ed. BY spreading out the available
flour, local bakeries have kept going
on about so per cent Of usual pro-
duction, he said.
He said the bakers were Serious"
about calling the strike as a means
OF calling attention to the situation.
With wholesale plants 100 per cent
unionized. only bread by small retail
concerns will go to consumers.
One large wholesale baker here
figured he had enough flour to con-
tinue curtailed operations through
July. AS conditions now exist, there
would be a months lapse before the
spring wheat crop milling in August.

RICHMOND, Va, May 3l.-The

prominent Virginia antiorgan:zation
Democrats who insisted that a nom.
inee be selected at a primary elec-
ton rather than by a State conven.
ton as proposed by State Demo.
cratic Chairman Horace H. Edwards
Mr.. Edwards has contended tha,
1t is too late to file for nomination

promised statement later on tn.

Martin A. Hutchison, antiorgan.
ization candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Senator Byrd's seat
and Moss A. Plunkett, Roanoke at.
torney, yesterday challenged Mr.
Edwards viewpoint and called for q
Democratic primary.
Charging that "a convention lends
itself better to dictatorial control
than does primary" Mr.. Hutchin-
son, former secretary of the State
Democratic Committee, asserted:
More than go days remain be-
fore the August primary and I am
positive In view Of conflicting stat.
utes that the machine, or indi.
visible government as it has been
so aptly called, could nominate BY
primary If it chose to do So"
He added that he felt certain At
torney General Staples could find
ALI the legal authority necessary
If he will only put his mind to the
task"
The latest-copy of the party plar
that he could find, Mr.. Hutchinson
said, had this to say on the matter
All powers which inhere in tn,
Democratic party of Virginia or thu
Democratic State Convention shall
be vested in the Democratic Stat,
Central Committee at such times a.
the Democratic State Convention il
not in session." And he added:
Under these circumstances, tn,
committee may call for 4,ominatior
by primary now, If it chooses"
Plunkett Cites Virginia Code.
The Senate aspirant said he rea.
lized the issue had only an indirec
bearing on his candidacy, but tina
he believed "the Democrats of thi.
State have a right to select thei,
candidates, for whatever offices, il
the traditional and Democrati,
manner"
In an open letter to Mr.. Edwards
Mr.. Plunkett cited Section 226 O,
the Virginia Code, which provide.
what shall be done in case of Ger.
tain vacancies, saying that it give.
the properly constituted authorize.
Of the Democratic party the right
to permit the filing of declarations
OF candidacy for nomination In thu
Democratic primary on August s
to such Office"
In a telegram sent to the State
chairman earlier, Mr.. Plunkett, who
heads the Southern Electoral Re-
form League, urged that you and
the State Democratic Committee
give this matter immediate con-
Sideration."
