Joe Louis woes with the

of efforts of two Nebraska
men who never met him,
and the untiring efforts of
his Chicago lawyer.
A nm ~ n cements from
Chicago Wednesday in
Dictated that Louis lawyers
favor allowing the internal

children, and then with an
initial down payment by

no more than one or two

Contributions may be
sent to Joe Louis Fund,

Aaron Payne, Louis at

Assured Today

Negotiations were to be re-

second postponement of a
walkout since yesterday morn
ing and assurance from union
officials that A. B. & w. buses
would run throughout the day.
The assurance of continued
service to some SO 900 Northern
Virginia riders today came after
a meeting Of Local 1871 of the
AFL-CIO Transit Workers late
yesterday at which members
empowered their executive
board and strike committee ito
call a strike at any time it finds
it necessary and advisable"
Three Days of Conference
Federal Conciliator Gilbert S.
McCutcheon, who has been
comforting with both sides for
three consecutive days, per-
suaded the union leaders to
provide service today. Although
no meeting is scheduled for to-
day. Mr.. McCutcheon said ne
gotiations will be resumed
shortly"
Announcement of the unions
second strike authorization,
supplementing a vote for a
walkout by union members on
october 81, was made by Will
liam v. Phillips, president Of
the local.
Management and the union
have been meeting since Satur-
day to iron out their differ
ences. Robert T. Mitchell,
AB&W vice president, said both
sides have made concessions but
still cannot agree.
30 Cents More Asked
The strike first was post
poned for "a hours shortly be-
fore it was to go into effect at
midnight Sunday. The an
nouncement assuring service
throughout today amount to a
second 24-hour delay.
The union is asking for 30
cent-an-hour increase over the
present base pay Of $1.91 an
hour and an increase in vaca-
ton benefits.
The management has coun-
tered with a l5-cent proposal
to be applied over a three-year
period at the rate of 5 cents
each year.
During a dispute in 1852 the
company was seized by the
State of Virginia, which kept
in operation a few bus routes
