an official of the parent Interna-
tional Teamsters' Union who last

tional official from Indianapolis
had obtained 212 cents more yes
terday from the city administra-
ton, which previously had stopped

But the laborers demanded &c
to 25 cents more.
The meeting broke up with
jeers after the members also
shouted mo" when a local Official
asked will you take 1872"
The city also had agreed tc

street cleaners, truck and equip
ment operators. sewer and water

Several years ago, a New Or
leans detective tapped a man on
the shoulder and told him to
come along. he was suspected of
possessing narcotics.
The suspect turned his pock-
cts inside out and a thorough
search failed to reveal any
illegal drugs.
But the officer wasn't salts
fed. He took the man to a
hospital and doctors went to
work with a stomach pump.
When they analyzed the re-
suits, they found several grains
of heroin.
The man had apparently
swallowed the drug to escape
detection. but he was charged
with illegal possession of mar
cotics, shuttled off to a Federal
prison and later taken to the
Federal hospital for narcotics
at Fort Worth, Tex.
Not everybody hides the stuff
in his stomach. but after their
years of enforcing the laws on
illegal drugs, Narcotics Bureau
agents have learned that a dope
peddler is likely to stash his
supply. or set up business, in
odd places.

For example, in Washington
last year, police handled the

some of the drug hidden there.
They searched the home from

been removed recently. They
kpulled OF the cover again and
