The federation's national council,
which controls all but a small
minority OF rail workers, ordered its
adherents to participate immedi-
ately in the strike to make it effec-
tive and total in all centers and
services"
The move was expected to halt
even the intermitten train service
which has been operating since indi-
viduai union locals began voting
to strike last week.

Mr.. Schuman scheduled a cabinet
meeting for tonight and another
for tomorrow morning on the labor
situation. 1t was reported he might

who were estimated to number more
than million even before the rail-
waymen's action.
The general railway strike will in

Guard and City Head,
Agree on Temporary
joint Use Of Armory
Conference Arranged
By Dirksen and Coin
Brings About Truce

The Commissioner and Dis
trict National Guard declared a
temporary truce this afternoon
in their fight for control of the
District Armory with an agree
mem to operate it jointly for
non military use until Congress
can decide the rightful owner.
The agreement was reached after
Guard officials, two District Com
missioners and Congressional Dis
trict leaders conferred for an hour
in a closed meeting at the Armory
Chairman Cain Of the Senate Dis
trict Fiscal subcommittee and Chair
man Dirksen of the House District
Committee, arranged the conference
when Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox
Guard commander, and the Com
missioners had been unable to de-
eide who should control the struc-
ture.
Funds TO Go to Treasury.
Senator Cain, acting as spokes-
man for the group, said all funds
collected through public use of the
drill hall will be deposited in the
United States Treasury and ear
marked as "armory funds They
will be disposed of, he added, only
'by order of Congress"
This will include $10,500 which
Gen. Cox said already has been COL
lected and held by the Guard An
other 5000 is due from George
Washington University for recent
dance.
The joint management board will
be composed, he said, of a repre-
sentative designated by the Com
missioners and an official of the
Guard-probably Gen. Cox.
Users to Be Assessed.
Commissioners Mason and Gordon
R. Young said they did not know
who would represent them.
A third provision of the agree
ment, Senator Cain said, is that
special costs involved in public use
of the armory drill hall will be as
sessed against the user. This would
include special seats and special
equipment that would have to be
ordered.
At the same time, Senator Cain
said,~ Gen. Cox and the Commis-
sioners agreed that a study should
be made of the cost of new exits in
the drill hall. Present capacity Of
the hall is limited to 1925 persons
because of inadequate exits by rul-
ing of the District building inspector.
Gen. Young will be in charge of
the study.
James r. Kirkland, counsel to the
Senate District Committee, was in
structed to set forth provisions Of
the agreement in a letter which will
be signed by Senator Cain and Mr..
Dirksen and sent to Gen. Cox and
the Commissioners.
The move paves the way for 48
scheduled basketball games and sew
eral other activities at the drill hall
within the next few months.

poration, as the industry repre-
sentative TO whom he referred in
Saturday testimony which startled
the Senators.
He testified that the CLIO had pro-
posed collective bargaining on the
portal claims and that an industry
spokesman replied:
May amend Act
''We have no need to because we
have discussed this with repre-
sentatives of Congress and we feel
certain there will be legislation
amending the Fair Labor Stand
ards act and depriving the enl-
ployes Of any rights to which they
may be entitled Under the court
decision"
When Senators asked the repre-
sentative's name, FRESHMAN re-
fused to tell 1t on the ground that it
would violate collective bargaining
condolences. Chairman Donnell
{R-Mo) then demanded that Press
man reveal the name by today or
cite legal authority for his refusal.
At CLIO headquarters today,
FRESHMAN released a letter to Don
nell naming Patton and supplying
a new account of their CONVERSE
ton. FRESHMAN wrote that his
Saturday testimony was entirely
extemporaneous" and that "the
statement which I now make is the
one which presents the specific and
accurate details"
Letter Contents
Without referring specifically to
any proposal to bargain or refusal
to bargain, Pressman's letter re-
lated:
"Mr. Patton indicated TO me that
he and his associates had been
preparing suggested amendments
to the wage-hour law which would
be submitted at the appropriate
time to Congress. Mr.. Patton ex-
pressed the feeling that in the light
of the problems confronting In
dustrv as a result Of the Mt.
Clemens decision. in his judgment
some form of legislation would be
enacted"
FRESHMAN said this illustrates
the expectation of Congressional
action which is conditioning the
attitude of management repre-
sentative.
