Capital Transit Strike
Apparently Stayed
Through tuesday

Washington today had what
was interpreted as stay of plans
to call transit strike until late
Tuesday.
But this development appeared
to fix Tuesday night as the next
deadline to be Surmounted in the
transit impasse.
Federal Mediator D. Yates
Heafner, meanwhile, said he was
hopeful that a way out of the
dispute could be found.
Mr.. Heafner met yesterday
with union leaders at his office.
Afterwards this statement was
issued:
"At the request of the District
Commissioners and the Federal
Mediation and Cancellation Serv-
ice the union has agreed for the
time being to hold in allegiance
any strike call.
No Specific Mention
Meetings are scheduled with
the Federal Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service Monday and
with both the District Commits
sioners and the Federal Media
ton and Cancellation Service on
Tuesday,"
While the statement nowhere
said how long the union leaders
would hold their strike call in
allegiance, it was not expected
generally that they would issue
such call while they have pend
ing meetings with the city and
Federal officials.
Mr.. Heafner did not stop there
in his efforts to find a solution
to the dispute over union claims
to improved pensions and insist
ence that the matter be arbi-
trated. He conferred later in the
day with Capital Transit Co. Of
f1cials.
E. Cleveland Giddings said
afterwards the company's po-
sition was unchanged in oppoSi-
ton to any larger pensions and
to arbitration of the dispute.
Company officials likewise were
asked to stand by for a meeting
with Mr.. Heafner Monday.
Union Meetings Tuesday
In addition to the meetings
arranged by the Commissioners
and Mr.. Heafner on Tuesday, the
transit unior members on that
day hold their regular meetings.
Night workers meet at 10 am.
and regular shift workers meet
at 8 pm. The place is the
Pythian Temple, 1912 Ninth
street NV. The night meeting
usually is the larger, and at that
time union officials would have
a report to the members on the
developments from the meeting
with the Commissioners and Mr..
Heafner.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said yesterday after comforting
with Mr.. Heafner that the whole
matter of the dispute is under
investigation with the view to
determining what should be
done. He said the officials have
been trying to find if there has
been any change in the positions
of the two parties. and to as
