NEGOTIATIONS ■ IN DEADLOCK Early Settlement Os Indianapolis Milk Strike Unlikely -*— - - Indianapolis, Oct. 13. —KU.RX—Gov. 1 M. Clifford Townsend today ordered the state labor division and the I state milk control board “to do everything that is legal and peaceful to bring about resumption of home deliveries.” “Home and store milk deliveries have been held up long enough,” Townsend said. "Failure of nonstruck dairies to make deliveries works a great inconvenience on

consumers. “They are paying an unfair price ; for milk since they are paying delivery prices for undelivered milk." the governor asserted. “It also is unfair to the independents who have no part in the controversy and yet are without income." C. \V. Humrickhouse. milk board secretary, said the board would continue deliberations in the matter today. He advised that if union officials file written petitions for the reduction in the price of milk to 10 cents a quart, the board probably will set a hearing date 10 days hence in accordance wilti the law. j Humrickhouse said the board [ will attempt to reach a conclusion on what powers, if any. it has to act in the strikes at three plants and also in what the state labor division terms a “lockout of consumers" in the remaining 21 nonstruck plants. The board also will consider the petition of Frank Buckshot, a milk dealer representing a group of independents. that the board act to end the “lockout" in the interests of the independents. Negotiations were deadlocked ■ over the "closed shop" issue ! Dairymen proposed arbitration of j the dispute on an open-shop basis i but were met with firm refusal <, I from officials of the milk wagon I drivers' and dairy employes' union i which last week called strikes at , three dairies. i “The union membership will not ■ accept an open shop under any ciri cumstances,” John T. Williams. | business agent, said. He offered | a counter proposal to negotiate on ! a "preferential shop" basis. Deliveries were suspended by 23 non struck dairies because of alleged threats of violence" from strikers at the Weber Milk com-’ pany. Capitol Dairies. Inc., and the Furnas Ice Cream company.
