Mack, Local organizer, that no
immediate settlement was in sight.
Mack said John ]. Pilch, union
president, was sin constant touch

Hub of the dispute is the
union plan TO work without a

Arrested on charges of disorderly
conduct, the ninety were sentenced
to attend the lectures in South
side auditorium by Judge Joseph
]. Drucker in Boys Court last
Tuesday.
After a conference between the
judge and eight defense lawyers,
the decision to arrange talks by
prominent persons for those ar

All charges were continued to
March 4. Before then, Judge
Drucker viii. check attendance at
the lectures.
AT THE SAME TIME. Helen
A. Shannahan, secretary of the
Fernwood-Bellevue Civic Associa-
ton, one of the groups involved
in events which led to violence,
announced that the association has
adopted a resolution condemning
activities of the Chicago Housing
Authority and Mayors Commission
on Human Relations.
The resolution claims that the
Chicago Housing Authority's non
discriminatory policy - granting
Negro veterans equal rights with
white veterans-is provoking vio-
lence and destroying understand
ing between the races.
The resolution ignored peaceful
communities and projects in yari-
Gus sections of the city where

Gin no case must the City Coun-
Gil agree to long-term franchise.
Any franchise which the city may
propose should be limited to a
short definite period-say 90 days.

THE QUESTION of public own
ership was raised early in the
hearings, when Wagner told the
Morgan controlled company that
it must prove that it can provide
adequate service and charges and

those of municipal ownership" or

but to acquire and operate its own

William Miller, state director
His statement came shortly
after the City Council utilities
committee, headed by Aid. Clar-.
ence P. Wagner Q4th), opened
public hearings on Commonwealth
Edison's franchise, under which
it took m ore than $26 million
from consumers last year.
The power monopoly's 50-year
franchise expired Sept II. 1t was
extended by the city on a day-to-
day basis pending action by the
City Council.
AS THE hearings opened, the
question of public ownership of
the light company's properties be-
came sharper.
Estimates of the yearly saving
which Chicago consumers would
enjoy under public ownership
ranged from the $18 million pro-
jected by Aid. Benjamin NJ.
Becker t40thl TO the more than
$50 million foreseen by Irving
Flamms prominent attorney who
IS representing both Pea and
the Public Ownership League
at the hearings.
Flamm distributed to the alder
men brief drawn up by DR.. Carl
o. Thompson, well-known author
ity on public utilities, at the re-
quest of Pea. Thompson is head
of the Public Ownership League.
Flamm is vice-chairman of the
state Pea.
Light rates to Chicago con-
suners would be cut by at least
80 per cent. or about $50 mil
lion year. If the city were TO
take over and operate the power
monopoly. according 10 the brief.
The rate per kilowatt hour, for
example, would probably be cut
by about 10 cents, it was esti-
mated.
pea intends to wage a strong
campaign for public ownership"
Miller declared.
sour action is in line with the
recent national policy statement
of Pea, which called for national
ization Of basic public utilities.
ITO present the advantages
of public ownership TO the peo-
pie. we intend TO distribute more
than half million leaflets which
are now being printed. They
will be ready for distribution
by peas 80 ward organizations
shortly after the Nov. 4 elections.
'sWe want public ownership
now. We know that a bond issue
to finance the purchase of Com
monwealth Edison's property
would be over-subscrilbed. And
we know, from the experience of
other cities, that the income to
the city from the power system
would more than pay for the cost

Sweden Offers To Sell Pulp Mills

KETCHIKAN, R)-The Chron- icle said yesterday it had learned from Mats Schartau, Swedish public forester who is visiting Alaska on leave, that Sweden has some excess pulp mills from which machinery might be. pur- chased for Alaskan production to relieve the American paper short age.
 The newspaper said Schartau reported that the Swedish indus try fears Alaska as a competitor, but that Sweden found ii was overcutting its timber when it re- gently stepped up exports to in crease its dollar credits. He said some pulp mills then were shut down to carry out a sustained yield program.
 The newspaper said it has taken up the matter of buying surplus European paper-making equip ment with Rep. Clarence J. Brown of Ohio, chairman of special Congressional newsprint commit tee, but that Brown did not show any interest in the proposal.

Mississippi River
 Still Rises; Many Homeless
Continued From Page One

tContinued From Page One destructive sweep past the St. Louis area today after breaking four nearby levees and routing thousands of persons from their homes when additional dikes were threatened.
 The river surged to a 103-year high of 40.2 feet following Mon day nights torrential rains, then remained stationary for several hours, but Harry F. Wahlgren, U. S. meteorolgist, said the stream would probably climb another tenth of a foot before falling. The all-time record here is 41.3 set in 1844.
 U. s. army engineers estimated damage between Louisiana, Mo, and Cairo, H., at nearly $l2,000,- 000-most of which was caused to farmland and buildings. Farm agents pointed out that most Of the agricultural loss would result from inability to raise a crop in the growing period remaining.
 Some 26,800 persons were re- ported homeless by the Red Cross in the four-state area of Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska but many of those in the two northern states may be able to return to their dwellings if rivers continue to fall, a Red Cross spokesman said. About 8,40O were estimated homeless between Alton and Chester III.
 A new flood threat was report ed at Grafton, H., just north of Alton, where the Illinois river flows into the Mississippi. The smaller river, overflowing from heavy rains in the area, neared the towns business district.

House Passes Hawaii Statehood
WASHINGTON, R-Hawaii's

WASHINGTON, )-Hawaii's 50-year-old bid for statehood rest ed at the Congressional halfway mark today.
 The House passed a bill M0nd1v to admit the islands as t'e A9th state. But Senate action this year appears unlikely.
 Chairman Butler R.-NebD of the Senate public lands committee told a reporter it will be "impoS- sible" to bring the measure to the Senate floor before Congress ad- journs late this month.
 He said it is possible. but not probable" that he and other members of the committee may visit the islands this fall. before Congress reconvenes, and hold hearings on the question, that would permit the Senate to act on the measure early in l948.
 Meanwhile, Butler suggested that some though be given to his own proposal to make Hawaii a California county.
 Joseph R. Harrington, Hawaii's non-voting Republican delegate to Congress, made it clear to the House, however, that Hawaii wants statehood and nothing else.

Oil Workers Refuse
To Extend Bargaining

BY the Assoeiotsd Press

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 1s.-The
Oil Workers International Union
CIO. yesterday refused to extend
collective bargaining privileges te
about so Of its own employees.
Delegates to the unions nationa
convention voted, 157 to ~, against
proposal to give their interna-
tional representatives "the same
security they negotiate for the
members in negotiations with man.
agement of the oil industry"
The international representatives
are employed by the unions OIL
GERS and Executive Council.
Defeated on Standing Vote.
The proposal was defeated on q
standing vote Of the 400 delegates
after c. E. Robinson of Bakerfield
Calf, chairman Of the Resolutions
Committee, explained why his COM
mittee opposed 1t.
THE handling of international
representatives lies in the admins
trative policy of the union," Mr..
Robinson said. "They have the
right to meet with the executive
council and take up any grievances.
They have and will continue to be
dealt with fairly"
Earlier the convention voted to
give to the CIO Political Action
Committee the $4,000 which ]. Cur
tbs Trahan, rejected as a contribu-
ton to his campaign for Congress
in Texas.
Called kiss of Death"
The $4,000 was contributed by
delegates to the unions convention
here to aid Mr.. Trahan, the former
mayor of Texas City, Tex, and once
an officer in the oil workers organi-
Zation.
Mr.. Trahan turned it down be-
cause, he said, such a contribution
would be a violation of the Taft
Hartley law and that some men,
bers of the union wanted to plant
the "kiss of death" on him.
o. A. OacD Knight, oil workers
president, drafted a reply in which
he said the unions confidence in
Mr.. Trahan was very badly mis-
placed"
1--WE must therefore regretfully
assume that we made mistake and
that our former brother unionist
is now just another politician.
Under these circumstances we are
pleased to accept the money he is
returning, If and when returned
and to assure MIR. Trahan that we
will find a more suitable use for it. -
