Shipping Firm Files
Complaint With NLRB
In Rail Express Tieup
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-One of the
firms that consolidate merchandise
shipments here for movement to
stores throughout the country has
complained to the National Labor
Relations Board about the strike OF
more than 1000 truck drivers en-
ployed by the Railway Express Co.
Samuel S. Stern, counsel for Fast
Service Shipping Terminals, Inc,
announced last night that it had
hled charges of illegal secondary
boycott and an appeal for an in
junction.
The striking union, Local 8O8 of
the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, promptly announced it
rad sent kilograms to Charles T.
Douds, regional NLRB director, and
Robert N. Denham, NLRB general
counsel, asking that the charges be
dismissed on grounds the union is
subject to the Railway Labor Act
and is outside NLRB jurisdiction.
Earlier in the three-week- -old
strike, New York hatmakers threat
ened a s10,000,000 suit against the
teamsters if pickets were not with
drawn from millinery establish
ments, and the pickets were with
drawn.
Picketing Spreads to Jersey.
The strike, by halting the bulk of
railway express shipments. has re-
suited in increased air express and
parcel post.
Postmaster Albert Goldman an
nounced last night that although
1,500 additional employees had been
hired, parcel post service at extra
hour post Offices in Manhattan, the
Bronx and nearby Pelham would
be halted between the hours of s
pm. and am. Some post Offices
are open all night, others until 8
pm. or midnight.
The union spread it's picketing
this week to New Jersey and West
chester County, N. Y, points in a.
move to hinder the movement of
goods by private trucks to express
depots outside the city.
Some out -of-toWn stores, their
fall shipments curtailed, have sent
representatives here with orders to
fill their personal trunks with mer-
chandise and return it with them.
Meanwhile, acting on a threat by
other teamster locals to extend
picketing to general freight ter
minals, the Motor Carrier Associa-
ton, representing general trucking
operators, appealed to Daniel j.
Tobin, president of the Transfers
International, to prevent such a
tieup.
Truckers May Ask Damag ges.
The associations telegram to Mr..
Tobin, who is attending the AFL
convention in San Francisco, said
that any sympathy strike would vio-
late the Taft-Hartley Act and men,
bers' contracts with teamster locals.
w, Foster Banks, association pres
ident, said the truck owners would
seek damages and relief by injunc-
tion if the Walkout spread.
Local 808, later joined by Local
459 of Jersey City. N. j., called the
strike in a demand for a 15lz
an-hour wage increase and reduction
of the work week from A hours to
40. Drivers now get $3.50 a week
and helpers S49.36.
The express agency has insisted
that the men return to work and fol-
low mediation procedures provided
by the Railway Labor Act. The
union has refused.

Southern ConferenceMeet
To Talk Professionalism

ROANOKE, Va, Dec. 11-P)-
A lengthy discussion on measures
to make the rules of he Southern
Conference more explicit regard
ing athletic professionalism was
shaping up as head coaches, ath'
letic directors and members OF
Athletic councils gathered here
tonight for Fridays opening ses-
sion of the Leagues annual two
day convention.
The debate on the professional
ism rule is expected to be the
most important subject to come
before the Conference fathers
during the parley, slated to enc
Saturday morning.
During the past week, the II
members were gwen list Of "sug'
gested amendments to be con-

that "any person who signs a con-

ment, or who has ever signed g
contract or entered any agree
ment, explicit or implicit, with q

eligible to compete in intercol-
legiate athletics and no plea OF
infancy shall vitiate this rule"
One other Suggested amend
ment" which undoubtedly will
be discussed Friday would pro-

hibit league teams from playing
in bowl football contests.
Several coaches, some of whom
have taken their football squads
to New Years afternoon classics
in past years, didn't hesitate to
predict tonight that the "boWl
ban'' proposal would be rejected.
Two Southern Confere ice
members, William and Mary's
champion Indians and Maryland's
Terps at present are preparing
for New Years Day clashes. Will
liam and Mary will play Arkan-
sas in the Dixie Bowl at Birm-
ingham, Ala, while Maryland
has date with the University of
Georgia in the Gator Bowl at
Jacksonville, Fla.
It wasn't particularly surpris-
ing that the issue dealing with
athletic professionalism would
arise. Twice during the past cam
paign, the Conferences Executive
committee was faced by major
questions of eligibility in the
cases of Charlie Justice, North
Caro1ina's second team ALL

"Rex called me up and talked

Instead we are going to recon-

"If he doesn't want to 60 to
Duke" Allen continued, "ther
we're going to advise him to &C
to some other school, perhaps If
the midwest, take his year .o1

Rex isn't doing this because
of any pressure. 1t was his oWr
idea. He told me it's just a shame
