IS Philadelphia Hotels
To Defy Strike Closing
BY the Associaied Press

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30.-Fn-
teen of Philadelphia's largest
hotels, ready for delegates to a
large convention and hopeful of
baseball fans for a World Series
opener here next week, say they'll
stay open despite a strike threat.
They have been given notice by
the AFL and CIO that unless
contract demands are met by mid
night tomorrow some 5000 en-
ployes will stop work.
The Bellevue -Stratford Hotel
Corp went to court yesterday and
obtained a temporary injunction
against the proposed strike. The
unions say the walkout is over
demands for wage increases and
better working conditions.
Judge James Gay Gordon, jr.,
who issued the temporary injunc-
ton, is attempting to bring to-
gether management and union
representatives for a conference
today in his chambers.
The joint union committee says
it is seeking a SO weekly in
crease for workers now making S32
a week or less, So more for those
making $32 to $40 and 81 a week
raise for those receiving more
than $40.

Woman S Death byGas
Under Investigation

The fire marshal's Office today
was investigating the cause Of
gas fumes in a Florida avenue
apartment house which took the
life of one woman and overcame
two others yesterday afternoon.
The victim, Miss Myrtle L.
Wadsworth, 48, a clerk in the Bu-
reau of Mines, of the Interior De-
partment, died in her bedroom
on the second floor of the Cor
dova apartment house at 1908
Florida avenue NV. The room
was filled with gas fumes which
may have come from a coal-burn-
ing hot-water heater in the base
ment under the apartment.
Miss Wadsworth had worked for
the Bureau of Mines for eight
years. Her legal residence was
Miami, Fla.
Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald said he will issue a certif1-
cate of accidental death.
Mrs. Henry o. Gaylord, SO. in
whose apartment Miss Wadsworth
roomed. was overcome by gas but
managed to telephone for help.
Miss Jane R. Schwenck, occupant
of f1rst-floor apartment, was
made i'll by fumes. Both were
treated by physicians.
