New York (FP)-Striking mem
bers of Local 807, International
Brotherhood of Teamsters continued
their solid 2-week walkout Sept. IL
despite redbaiting blast by Mayor
William O'Dwyer and threats of
bloodshed to ccme.
Under the dual pressure of the
teamsters' and seamen's strikes, non
essential activities in this big city
ground slowly to a halt. An industry
spokesman said over one million
workers would have to be laid Off If
the strike continues much longer.
New York's largest industry, the gar
ment industry, said it faces complete
shutdown by the end of the week
Construction has dropped to a snaiPs
pace. Newspapers cut off from their
newsprint supplies, have sliced their
editions in half and dropped all ad-
vertising to conserve their scant re-
serves.
In a radio address to the people of
New York O'Dwyer said he had re-
ceived assurances from leaders OF
Teamsters Joint Council 16 that food
and medical supplies would be deliv-
cred without interruption. While ad-
mitting that those supplies were still
plentiful, O'Dwyer accused the 12,CCC
strikers of endangering the "sick and
the little children" Teamsters pointed
out they had never interrupted deliv-
cry of perishable food and medicine,
except to chain stores.
While O'Dwyer said he had no in
tention of breaking the strike, he at
the same time called on Police Com
missioner Wallander to "make the
streets safe" for drivers of non
striking teamsters locals. Law and
order will be maintained, he said.
He read the text Of wire sent to
all New York and New Jersey team
ster locals by IBT President Daniel j.
Tobin insisting that all affiliates
abide by their contracts. The lBT
order affected some % locals which
have halted work in sympathy with
the strikers. Local 807, one of the
three locals directly involved in the
strike, handles So per cent of the gen
eral trucking in the city.
Tobin's wire came in response to
an appeal from the mayor asking him
to intervene personally in the strike.
"Unless you or an authorized repre-
sentative of the international brother
hood assume responsibility and take
control of this union and negotiate
terms for the settlement of the strike,
it is very possible that bloodshed and
injury will result" O'Dwyer said in
a telegram to the teamsters' chieftian.

United Sfufes
Foreign Policy
Inquiry Urged

Chicago (FP) - The Influential
Chicago Sun has joined the Federat-
ed Press in demanding investigation
Of State Dept. affairs, following FPS
exposure Of the war-mongering activ-
tiles Of U. S. ambassador to Argen-
tina George S, Messersmith.
Late in August FP exclusively re-
vealed that Messersmith, in an adj
dress to American Legionaires in
Buenos Aires had called for Latin
American alignment including Argen-
tina in preparation for an "incvitable"
war with Soviet Russia. The Suns
own correspondent subsequently con-
firmed the FTP report.
In recent editorial the Sun de-
clared the State Dept. should prompt
ly investigate Messersmith's remarks,
but should also issue "a positive de-
claration Of the departments own
policy" Since Messersmith Indicated
top State Dept. policymakers support
ed his views, the Sun said, at hardly
suffIces for the State Dept. simply
to declare that the ambassador denies
the remarks attributed to him."
The FTP earlier called for an in
vestigation Of State Dept. policy by
the Senate Foreign Affairs Commit
tee.

scored by enrolment of 1000 extra
men into the Police Dept. for the dur
alton of the trucking and maritime
strikes. The probationers would be is
sued revolvers, nightsticks and tan
trousers and shirts and assigned i'm
mediately to accompany regular pa
trolmen on strike duty, Wallander
said.
O'Dwyer charged that Communists
were behind the strike because
rank k-and-file newspaper called the
IBT News, is urging them to stick by
their original 17-point program for
new contract.
Local SGT President John Strong
denied that the local was under Com
munist control and said settlement of
the strike would have to wait week
or two until the men ''cool down"
"They're so upset by the ridiculous
offers of the boses that they're seeing
red" he said.
Highest offer of the truck operat
ors was six cent increase against a
union demand for a 80 per cent in
crease, a 40-hour week, vacation with
pay and elimination of work rules. A
compromise proposal by O'Dwyer for
an 1872 cent increase, 4O-hour week
and vacation pay was approved by
union officials, but was shouted down
by Local S07,s membership when it
was submitted to them a week later.
Under current Wage Sterilization
Board policy the men are entitled to
about a 22A cent increase.
The union wage scale committee is
bound to submit the new contract to
the membership before signing. This
point has been used by the mayor and
the employers to claim that the COM
mittee has no authority to negotiate
a contract.
While the employers negotiating
committee was repeatedly working
out a new set of terms, Local 8O7
spokesmen said they had no meetings
scheduled until Sept. "a, date of the
regular membership meeting.

Washington (FP)-The order of
Railway Conductors (unaffiliated)
won its battle with the Pullman COM
pany Sept. as presidential emer-
gency board investigating the Pull
man car conductors claim to $44.50
monthly raise ruled in the unions
favor.
Point at issue in the dispute was
the number hours constituting the
working month, since the union and
the company previously agreed to an
1876 cent hourly raise. The union
claimed conductors worked 240 hours
monthly and the company figured
only 225 hours, bringing the wage
raise total to $41,625 a month.

Lewis Is Seen as Tragic Actor
Defying Cruel Tyranny Of Fute'
BY w. n. Shippen, Jr.

invite a penalty or at least a repri-
mand from the bench by leaping
to his feet to grasp the hand OF
UNIV Attorney Welly K. Hopkins
as the latter concluded an impas-
stoned protest against the "inhu-
man" fine of $3,500,00o on the
miners.
The incident was extraordinary
and dramatic. Mr.. Lewis displayed
fiery gratitude, and the attorney
half choked with emotion when the
labor boss cried: Let me shake
your hand! - I associate my
self with your every word!"
Mr.. Hopkins had said. This day
will live in infamy," among other
things, and that the resentment OF
striking miners and some 1000 900
will be inf1amed against
the Governments cruel, inhuman
punishment In a malicious effort
to wreck their union" to carry out
a political policy.
TO Justice Goldsborough. however,
the strike called despite his restrain
ing order seemed an "evil, monstrous
thing" one that means hunger,
cold, unemployment and destitu-
ton at time when the world looks
to American democracy for leader
ship.
The justice spoke softly. with
grave deliberation. He appeared to
be musing on the state OF the Ma
ton. 1t seemed proper. he said, to
point out that, If our Government Is
powerless to control such actions
against the common welfare, the
country may very we'll be headed
toward some form of dictatorship.
"And a dictator" ne added,
thoughtfully, will be the first to
destroy the unions"
He said he had been friend of
the unions since his earliest con-
scious thought" and had no desire
to strike at the miners.
"As for them" he continued,
their case seems to be, Father, for
give them, for they know not what
they do" He doubted if the fine
was cruel or unusual and said it
was the only method he knew OF to
punish an association for totally
unnecessary strike

face almost as infiexible as mask
throughout most of the hearing. Be-
yond determination, it betrayed
