Teamsters Leaders
Deny Beck Yields
Authority 10 Hoffa
-AP Wirephoto.
By the Associated Press

A published report that Dave
Beck, president of the AFL
Teamsters' Union, has been sup
planted by James F. Hoffa as
the real power in the huge labor
organization has been denied
fatty by both men.
There is not one iota of truth
in the report" said Mr.. Beck
yesterday in Seattle. Wash.
''Hoffa hasn't anything to do
with running the Teamsters' Un-
ion other than in his capacity
of 10th vice president in charge
of the Midwest. Any one who
says he does is an unmitigated
and willful liar"
In Washington Mr.. Hoffa told
newsmen there is no truth" to
the story that he, not Mr.. Beck,
is now the moving spirit in the
union, which claims 1,250.000
members.
'I'm just the 10th vice presi-
dent" said Mr.. Hoffa, trying to
do everything my general presi-
dent tBeck) tells me to do. :"
Mr.. Hoffa, chairman of the
unions Central States Confer
ence, recently entered the New
York truck drivers strike after
Mr.. Beck apparently had inter-
vened and then withdrew. Mr.
Beck said Mr.. Hoffa has done a
fine job in New York and we

HoIdout Truck Firms
Vote 10 Stand Firm,
But Are Weakening
BY the Assoeiased Press

NEW YORK, Oct. ia
group of $50 truck companies
plans to continue holding out
against a drivers strike for
higher pay, but admit they are
weakened by other employers
agreeing to union terms.
During the strikes third day
yesterday the AFL Teamsters'
Union claimed employer re-
sistance was ''collapsing on all
Sides" It reported an "ava-
Ianche" of individual settle
lnents, mostly with small firms.
~ The l1oldout firms voted at a
strategy meeting last night to
continue to fight union demands.
However, before the meeting the
employers chief negotiator,
Joseph M. Adelizzi. said their
position was weakened by de-
fections in employer ranks.
Next Two Days to Tell.
He added that "the next two
days" will tell whether they can
continue to hold the line.
Originally some $500 firms
were involved in the strike. It
affects general freight carriers
in an area stretching from the
tip of Long Island through New
York City then south as far as
Trenton, N. j.. and north to
Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
u There was no indication ex-
.actly how many firms had signed
union agreements. but they ap-
aparently were not deferred by a
$40 million damage suit filed
against the teamsters and seven
firms that earlier agreed to
union terms.
Nine truckers, the mainStay of
the holdout group, filed the suit
in State Supreme Court, charg-
ing that the union and signing
companies had conspired to
seize and steaP' business from
firms which refused to settle.
i The suit also charged the
seven defendant companies had
violated a purported agreement
to keep up a solid employers
front and not sign with the
union individually.
One of the companies named.
the A8zP Food Stores. Inc, i'm
mediately issued a statement
saying it had never entered into
such an agreement.
Suit Is Belittled.
The suit was belittled by the
teamsters' chief economist, Da-
vid Kaplan, who termed it a
"scaTe" tactic and desperation"
move.
In addition to damages, the
suit asked for a court order to
prevent the union or signing
companies from inducing or CO.
ercing" other firms to sign con-
tracts. The judge set tomorrow
morning for a hearing of any
reason why the order should not
be issued.
The strike began Saturday over
union demands for an hourly
package increase of Is cents an
hour. The highest company Offer
at the time was a 10-cent pack
| age. An employer offer to arbi-
trate the dispute was turned
down by the union.
Present wages run from SLIT
for helpers to $2.77 for drivers
of tractor trailers.
