BALTIMORE, Feb. ii (P.--
Negotiations in Baltimore's 13-
lday-old transit strike we're COM
Ipletely stalled today. and there
was dissension in the ranks OF
third parties as well as between

negotiations. Some lawmakers
we're moved to disagree.
Negotiators refused to back
down an inch on offers and de-
lmands. but each side proclaimed,
I'VE are ready to resume talks
Iat any time
The Baltimore Federation of
Labor suggested Gov. McKeldin
stop using the strike as q "polit-
zeal football" The Governor, who
has accused both the Baltimore
Transit Co. and its employees

hasn't replied as yet.
Only Bright Spot
About the only bright spot
was the entrance of Robert w.
Donnahoo into the muddle. Dom
Inahoo is regional director Of the
Federal Mediation and Con-
Citation Service.
He conferred yesterday with
Mayor D'Alesandro about the
strike and its background. There
are reports he will try to get
the negotiators to sit down and
do some real negotiating.
The Mayor made no secret OF
the fact he was annoyed about
the grand inquest. a never-be-
fore used device by which the
House will inquire into the
causes OF the strike ana ways OF
effecting a settlement.
"The company and union rep
Iresentatives can't be in two
places at the same time" he
said. They can't be negotiating
and testifying at the inquest"
Begins Monday
The inquest will begin at II
am. Monday.

transit company reported to the

It wasn't much trouble for John

out coon hunting a few nights

continued to get coons to the

coon hunting and often gets a
pack of friends to go along with
him on a big hunt.
