Drivers Protest
No Representation by
Union or Company
Pickets PatroIling At Sanders
Motor Freight This
Week

Several truck drivers Of leased
equipment were engaged in picket
ing the Sanders Motor Freight ter
minals in Oakland and elsewhere
this week and were announcing
by signs that the freight company
was "unfair to drivers Of leased
equipment
The protest or strike was begun
Sunday night when several of the
leased drivers failed to hook their
trucks to the Sanders company
trailers to haul freight to Balti-
more and other points.
1t was explained that a leased
driver is one who has his own
truck and contracts Individually
with freight company to haul its
trailers to designated areas.
There are five or six such drivers
here who haul freight for the COM
pany, in addition to number of
company drivers. There are II to
IA throughout the Sanders system.
One of those protesting the set
up here indicated that their own
local union, No. 453, of Cumberland,
to which they belong, will not give
them representation at union meet
mgs, although they had to pay $25
initiation fee to join and that the
union accepts dues from them each
month and special assessments.
Drivers also protested that they
had had no wage increase for five
or six years, whereas regular
Sanders company employees had;
that meetings had been arranged
with Francis w. Sanders, presl-
dent of the company, but that no
company officials ever showed up.
Mr. Sanders said yesterday that
leased drivers had been offered am
increase last April which never was
accepted, and he felt that the
leased men had no grievance. He
said they had abused the privilege
of the regular order Of loading at
the terminals and did not obey
orders as far as routes were con-
cerned.
Leased drivers had joined the
union originally, they said, because
it was impossible to unload freight
at the terminals where everyone
else was unionized, and they had
done SO to keep the motor freight
company from paying up to $25
extra for unloading charges by
union men.
The Sanders Motor freight
drivers and shop employees have
been unionized for some time. The
drivers indicated yesterday morn
ing that area union men would be
in Oakland Friday or Saturday in
an attempt to straightcn out sew
eral items with both the freight
company and the Cumberland local.
The drivers indicated they would
continue pickcting until the COM
pany made good its word to meet
with them and give union recogni-
ton.
There was pickcting at the
Clarksburg terminal also Wednes-
day.

FOreSterS Take
To Air To Spot
Woods Fires
Smoke Pail Covers Area But
Garrett County Is Fortunate
With Small BlazeS

When forest fire danger became
critical over the nation during the
past week, personnel of the Mary
land Department of Forests and
Parks took to the air to spot fires
before they ravaged the finder
dry woodlands.
On Saturday and again ON Mon
day, X. Thomas Thaycr, assistant
district forester, and Elmer Upole,
senior forest supervisors, flew over
the county in an anplane piloted
by Charles K. Bowman, to peer
through the haze caused by fires
in adjoining states The smoke Is
believed to have drifted from as
far west as Indiana
The danger Of forest fires in this
area was partially eased by rain
and snowfall on Tuesday.
Upole reported that blazes had
been kept to a minimum in this
county. Principal fires were in the
kempton and Avilton areas where
20 and 25 acres were burned re
spcctivcly. Both of these fires were
thought to have been caused by
hunters, Thayer said.
The forestry department per-
sonnet commended the citizens for
their interest shown and care taken
to protect the county's wooded re-
sources. Since high winds and dry
leaves make forest fires a hazard
all through the fall and early win
ter, hunters. lumbemcn, brush
burners and others are being urged
to use every precaution against
fire in the woods
Thayer also said that fires con-
tinucd to rage in Allcgany and
Washington counties on Wcdnes-
day and in nearby Pennsylvania.

ST. PAUL. Mimi. Oct. T.
Minnesota Republicans believe
they have a formula for victory
in the national elections. It Is
two-pronged. First. they have q
presidential candidate, Gen. Eisen-
hover, who has allayed fears Of
the farmer that he would be dis
criminated against and not so
well off under a Republican ad-
ministration. Second, they have
an organization setup which CO.
ordinates all Republican activities,
both for the national and the
State tickets. including the con-
gresSional tickets.
Because Gen. Eisenhower beat
the Democrats to the punch, de-
claring himself for a continuance
of the present 80 per cent farm
price parity and ultimately 100
per cent parity, and against a
punitive" tax on farm co-opera-
tives, it is expected that Gen.
Eisenhower will run far more
strongly in Minnesota than did
Gov. Dewey, the Republican pres
idential nominee, against Presi-
dent Truman in 1948.
The Dewey campaign, so far as
the farm vote is concerned. was
handled poorly, the Republican
leaders say. When Gov. Dewey
spoke in Minnesota, he was OBJ
scure on the farm program he
might be expected to follow and
ne left the farmers cold. With

not offered originally.
A spokesman for the Harris firm
conceded the option was obtained
several weeks ago. Names of the
principals other than that of Mr..
Harris could not be learned. 1t is
understood they are not Washing
tonians.
The land is in two tracts. One
is bounded by Rock Creek and
Potomac parkway, Virginia ave-
nue., New Hampshire avenue and
F street. The other is bounded by
Twenty-fourth street, Virginia
avenue and H street.
The bulk lies on the south side
of Virginia avenue, with the Sec
ond tract containing the gas stor-
age tanks lying north of Virginia
avenue.
Option Is Renewable.
Confirming the disclosure that
the land has been optioned, Oscar
Berry. general counsel for the gas
company, said the agreement has
"a term of six months renewable
for a second six-month period.
A New York spokesman for the
syndicate said preliminary plans
for the development have been
drawn, but that specific details
could not as yet be revealed.
IF the proposed development
goes ahead, it will be one of the
largest ever undertaken in Wash
ington." he said.

more enthusiastic and vigorous
than four years ago. The impor-
tance Of coordination Is easily
seen.
Since 1888, the Republicans In
Minnesota have repeatedly elected
their State tickets by wide mar
gins-while losing in every presi-
Dental race. They are trying tc
get all voters who plunk for the
G. o. P. State ticket to vote fol
the party's national ticket, too. II
they can do so, Gen. Eisenhower
will walk away with the Min
nesota electoral votes.
Senator Anderson said today he
believes that the effort at CO.
ordination of the campaign activ-
tiles of the Republicans is bearing
fruit.
'I believe Gen. Eisenhower will
carry the State" he said. He de-
clined to make a prediction re-
garding an Eisenhower margin OF
victory. Any majority, he pointed
out, would be a victory, and a very
considerable one, since it would
represent a great turnover in po-
litical sentiment since 1948, when
Mr.. Truman carried the State with
a lead of 100000 over Gov. Dewey.
Senator Andersen added that
the Republican Party organization
is clicking this year, that there is
great enthusiasm among the voters
for Gen. Eisenhower, and that the
turnout for Gen. Eisenhower in
the Twin Cities exceeded that
for Gov. Stevenson when the lat
ter came here on Saturday.
. senator Humphrey, Democrat,
takes a very different view. He
dealRd fatty that the race would
be even close. His prediction was
that Gov. Stevenson would carry
the State by $4,000 votes up, and
the majority might be as great as
that given President Truman In
1948."

mitted that a month ago, the

the Chinese overlooked him in
their rush to overrun another out

The Reds are believed to have
killed or wounded and captured
every other soldier in the outpost

allied infantrymen stopped them.
The soldier, who cannot be

that first stood in the path of the
Red regiment swarming down the
ridgeline and on both sides of the
arrow shaped hill. This hill lies
northwest of Chorwon on an in
vasion route to Seoul.
The soldier said the Reds fired
barrages throughout Monday, then
at dusk they charged his outpost
under their own artillery. The
shells killed many of the Chinese
but they also cut gaps in the out
