Rev. Harris Hits Opponents

Congressional leaders who are at
tempting to sabotage" reciprocal
trade agreements apparently believe
in helping struggling nations with
one hand and pushing them fur
ther back in the abyss with the
other" the Rev. Frederick Brown
Harris declared In Memorial Day
sermon yesterday at Foundry Meth
odist Church.
Yielding to the temptation to put
America first through a profit policy
may result in putting America last
"in a world in which all would go
down together" he said. ;
The work of removing world
trade barriers to make possible a
freer flow of world commerce is
being sabotaged by Congressman
who apparently have their eyes
more on the next election than on
the next generation" he declared
Mr.. Harris warned that If the re-
ciprocal trade agreements are sabo-
tagged, the worlds best chance to
Danish want and war will have been
destroyed"
Politicians need the perspective
that q true celebration of Memorial
Day will furnish to eyes that are

present no more witnesses.
Files on Way From Chicago.
It was learned, however. that the
prospect of additional Government
testimony depends on the receipt OF
files from the national association s
Office in Chicago. 1t may be that
these papers would link the national
association to the alleged conspiracy,
an angle of the case which has given
the Government difficulty.

day that when his Craftsmanship OF

files to the associations Chicago

be produced and Roger j. White

be sent on.
More Time May Be Asked.
If these are produced tomorrow
it is understood the Government
will ask for time to offer more testi-
mony or try to introduce some OF
the papers in evidence.
A letter written by Mr.. Todd has
been introduced which said his
committee had sent out pamphlet
containing "a sample schedule OF
commissions and charges which we
felt would be a good guide to the
many new boards being organized
and also reminder to lot of older
boards to study their own schedules
and revise them if needed"
The Government, however, has
not been able to trace one of these
pamphlets to Washington.

ton by the 1,5O0 union members.
The union voted last week to

ences have been under way since

Herman A. Schulteis, vice presi-
dent of the Chestnut Farms-Chevy
Chase Dairy, a member of the in

the strike vote does not mean the
employers and workers will be un-
able to agree on a new contract.

ployment classification questions
and that progress has been made.
I'VE haven't yet talked about the
new wage demand" ne explained
When we do come to the matter
of wages, I. for one. must not only
consider our workers, but must con-
slider our customers as we'll"
Mr.. Schulteis said that the ne
gotiations are conducted on an in
dustry basis and that the Nego-
tiating Committee and the indi-
