Charge Desertion Oshawa, Ont., April 22—'U.R) .Strikers at the General Mottas of Canada assembly plant charged today that they had been deserted by the committee for industrial organization. Reports that the two-weeks-old strike would be settled by nightfall, with repudiation of the C. I. t) as one of the major clauses in th- agreement, provoked resentful comment among the employes. They collected five days back pay from the company today. From the knots of strikers gath- [ ered at the payoff came frequent muttering of "let-down." Hugh Thompson, C. I.

<■<l the strike on April 8. Com- I ' puny recognition of the C. I. O. 1 i was the point which separated , negotiations in repeated confer--1 ences. Announcement that the strike was settled was expected to come during the day from the office of Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn in Toronto. Hotels Closed Milwaukee, Wls, Apr. 22 <U.R) —Hundreds of guests were stranded today on the 24 floors of the Schroeder hotel, largest in Wls- . cousin, as a strike deprived them ■ of elevator, maid, telephone j switchboard and waiter service. ! The hotel was one of four dos- 1 ed in a city-wide strike ordered by the Hotel and Restaurant Employes International Alliance, an American Federation of Labor union. Several conventions were in I progress at the Schroeder and the , hotel was filled. Efforts to forestall the strike in a last minute conference were unsuccessful and it appeared that the walkout would spread to 20 or more other hotels in the city. The hotel strikers added several hundred to about 4.000 out on other strikes here. —- <>■'■ ECONOMY MOVE 1938 fiscal year. Sen. Royal S. i Copeland, D., N. Y., campaigned for a bil appropriating $60,000,000 for flood control work during that | period. The administration campaign drew comment yesterday from two cabinet members, Secretary of. Agriculture Henry A. Wallace and Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. [ Roper. Wallace forecast an immediate 1 curtailment of the administration s farm activities. Federal aid to farm tenants, production control, and the ever-normal granary will feel the order, Wallace said. He is still hopeful that the crop in- [ surance progam, to be applied to j the 1938 wheat yield, may be sal-1 vaged. Roper and his first assistant,! Ernest Draper, joined in predict- I ing that business recovery will not l be retarded by the apparent in-; ability of the administration to balance the budget next year. Threat that a general sales tax! will have to be resorted to next year unless congress economizes! came from Rep. Joint Taber, R„ I N. Y„ and Rep. Martin Dies, D., - Texas. The president's request for ex-1 tension in full of $500,0000,000 in nuisance taxes, most of which I lapse or are reduced June 30, will be the subject of brief hearings next mouth try the ways and means! committee.

might be paid In a lump sum. Magley Case The plaintiff in the second action was represented by John L. DeVoss and the defendant wa.t again represented by Leigh A. Hunt. The stipulation stated that John U Magley was injured in a fall nt the Central Sugar company. Inc., which resulted tn an internal hernia on the right side. Four claims were allowed: Adams county memorial hospital, $45 78; Dr. R. E. Daniels, wtio applied the anaesthetic, $10; nurses, sl7. and fees of the pliysicians, Dr. Palmer Eicher and Dr. William E. Gabe, SIOO. It was found his average weekly wage was $29.40. He was allowed uavment on this at 55 per cent for 12 weeks, which, at $16.17 tier week, would total $194.04. This was for the period he was under a physician’s care. The decisions of Mr. Vogt are probably final in these two cases as agreements were reached in advance. Should hfs decisions not be accepted by the parties, the right t-> appeal to other members or the entire board is provided. It is also possible to appeal industrial court cases to the civil courts. I ■ - ■ o Pleads Not Guilty To Assault Charge Ear! Sudduth, local meat market proprietor, plead not guilty to a charge of assault when arraigned before Mayor Arthur R. Holthouse in city court yesterday. The charge alleges that the act was committed upon a minor Decatur girl. No trial date was set. —Q — See our beautiful line of First Communion Prayer Books.
