BARRETT RAPS A.F. OF L, FOR INTERFERENCE

Claims Parent Body Is Try. ing to Influence I. T. U. Election.

Francis G. Barrett, first vice presi-

dent of the International Typo- | Braphical Union and candidate for! president of the organization, today | issued g Statemetnt criticizing “in-| terference” of the American Federa-

tion of Labor in internal affairs of | § the I. T. U.

Mr. Barrett's statement was in reply to an article in the A. F. of L. Weekly News Service this week by Philip Pearl, ‘A. F. of L. publicity director. Mr. Pearl urged members of the Suspended I. T. U. to re-elect President Claude M. Baker and rePlace Secretary Woodruff Randolph With Mr. Baker's running mate, John J. Conley.

i In his article, Mr. Pearl said Mr.'§ Baker “has done all in his power to restore the I. T. U. into good | Standing with the A. F. of L. but |

the machinations of Barrett and mer, Mrs. Max Selig, Dan Harrison and Mrs. S. A. Silberman.

Randolph have blocked his efforts.” | Refused to Pay Assessment

The I. T. U. was suspended from the A. F. of L. for refusal to pay an eXtra per capita assessment of 1 per cent a month to combat C. I. o.! organization efforts. |

In his statement, Mr. Barrett said | he Progressive forces within the I. T. U. look with regret” on the remarks attributed to Mr. Pearl. | “The Progressive forces within! the union have been striving to pre-| vent any further disruption of labor but this unwarranted interference! by the A. F. of L. certainly will not | aid the cause of peace. |

“This is the fifth time an effort! is being made by the A. F. of L. to! interfere in the internal affairs of the I. T. U. 'Their attempt to elect to office candidates who will do| their bidding will be deeply resented | by the membership of the I. T. U.|

Says It's No ‘Accident’

“Were this the first time, it might be charged off as being accidental | but when it occurs the fifth time! on almost the eve of the election! (May 15) it can only be interpreted | as a desperate attempt to bring] about the election of my opponent. | “I am confident that the membership of the I. T. U. will express their) resentment in no uncertain way on| election day at this attempted con-| trol of our election.”

CHICAGO MILK STRIKE TO END

Drivers Agree to Return to Work After All-Night Conference.

CHICAGO, May. 3 (U. P.).—A truce in the strike of 6300 milk handlers who had shut off 90 per cent of the city’s milk supply was reached early today after an allnight conference of dealers and | union representatives. | State's Attorney Thomas J. Court- | Dey announced that the temporary | agreement provided that all dairy | plant workers and wagon drivers (return to their jobs immediately to [restore the normal milk supply. | Dealers said that deliveries would | begin almost immediately and that diminishing reserve supplies would |be replenished sufficiently during | the day to permit regular deliveries tomorrow. Representatives of the two American Federation of Labor unions involved and the dairymen signed the truce at 5 a. m. (Indianapolis { Time) and telegraphic orders to |producer depots were dispatched immediately to resume shipment of milk supplies. Supply Nearly Exhausted | Mr. Courtney said that the agreement provided for further negotiation by representatives of both the milk wagon drivers and the dairy plant employees unions with dealers until June 1 to attempt settlement of the wage scale differences that ‘had precipitated the strike. | The drivers’ union had demanded extension of an old contract which expired at midnight Tuesday and {had given them a wage scale of $39 [to $44 a week. | The strike had exhausted almost {all fresh milk supplies in homes and restaurants and some children had been forced to go without their daily quota. Only hospitals and (orphanages had received their reg(ular supply.

Loss Set at $100,000 a Day

The truce was made as city officials prepared to take over the milk business on an emergency basis to |assure supplies to infants, invalids (and hospital patients. {| Arthur H. Lauterbach, general {manager of the Pure Milk Association representing 16,000 farmer- | producers in the Chicago area, said the strike had cost farmers approx[entely $100,000 a day.

CAMPAIGN FOR SALVATION OF JEWS OPENED

‘We Are Fighting Hitler With The Allies,” Rabbi Silver Declares.

The Indianapolis Jewish Welfare Fund’s campaign to stave off starvation for 500,000 beleaguered Jews in Central Europe opened here today. The drive \is part of a nationwide appeal to American Jewry to aid the Jews of Nazi-conquered nations through relief agencies of the United Jewish Appeal. A corps of volunteer solicitors began working today on the local campaign which ends next Friday. Addressing a pre-drive meeting at Kirshbaum Center last night, Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver of Cleveland, national chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, told the volunteers that “we're not out for a mere success, we're out to save lives.”

500,000 Face Starvation

The 5,000,000 Jews of America, he said, alone are now able to rescue Jews of Central Europe “in the blackest hour in the history of the

Jewish people.” He said he had received reliable information that unless immediate aid is forthcoming, 500,000 Jews in German Poland will starve within the next six months. “Last year, our campaign was pitched on an emergency basis,” he said. “But here we are in 1940, confronted with an emergency which makes last year’s emergency seem small in comparison. “Since last year, the Nazi terror has claimed 2,000,000 more Jewish victims and has shattered the largest Jewish community in the world. An impenetrable curtain has been rung down in Poland to hide the fate of the Polish people. “But on the basis of what the Nazis did tc the Jews of Germany who were citizens of that country, you can well imagine what the Nazis are doing to the Jews of Poland, conquered enemies.”

Hitler Formidable Foe

Dr. Silver said that never is history have the Jews been confronted with a more formidable enemy than Hitler's legions, which, he said, “are out to conquer the world.”

“Never before have we been faced by a government dominating 80,000,000 people which has made antiSemitism the prime item in its program,” he said. “It is not satisfied to persecute the Jews within the borders of Germany. It sends forth missionaries —spies and agents—to all parts of the world—and the United States— to make the life of Jews impossible. That is the unique element which makes this crisis so terrible.

“The Nazi program is antiSemitism because they know that stirring religious and racial hatred is the easiest way to destroy a country—by destroying its unity. “Anti-Semitism is the Nazi Trojan horse, the Fifth Column, skillfully and cunningly devised to undermine a nation’s stability and make it easy prey when the army {marches in. This is what happened (in Austria, in Czecho-Slovakia, in |Poland and finally, in Norway, where the conquest was made easy by months of preparation.

‘Jews Are in a War’

“For the first time in our history, the Jews are in a war. Hitler has declared a wave of extermination on the Jews. This is not just another flare-up of intolerance. This is a new phenomenon—a war to the knife. “Every Jew, particularly in America, should feel himself a member {of a people at war. This is the importance of Jewish Welfare Fund this year. We are fighting Hitler with the Allies and we must bear our share.” Rabbi Silver ,who flew here last night following an afternoon address at Dayton, O., was introduced by Louis Borinstein, general chairman of the Indianapolis campaign. Mr. Borinstein urged all volunteer workers to make the drive the biggest in history.

April Was a Hussy, but May May Be Nice (Maybe)

Always bearing in mind that anything unusual can happen in weather and usually does, you can look forward with reasonable assurance to a pleasant May this year. A April turned out to be pretty much of a hussy, with a deficiency in sun and more rain that we knew what to do with. April also was three degrees a day colder than she should have been. April came up with more than two inches of snow, an inch and four tenths more than she should have had.

April had 6.05 inches of rainfall against a normal of 3.62 inches. This fell on 21 of the 30 days and did a pretty thorough job of shading the month. There was only one day when the sun shone all day and there were five days when there was no sun shine at all. All in all,

we got only 183.54 hours of sunshine for the month, whereas there were 399 possible and the normal would have been 219.45.

Now the normal May would look a lot like this: An average daily temperature on the first of 56 degrees and on the last of 69 degrees, with varying averages between. The warmest hour for nearly every day would be 3 p..m.; there should be 250 out of a possible 446 hours of sunshine and 3.89 inches of rainfall on 13 days. The driest Mays of record were in 1932 and 1934 when but .6 of an inch fell and the wettest was in 1892 when it rained 22 days. The coldest were in 1917 and 1924 when the average was 56 degrees against a normal of 62 and the warmest was 1881 when the average was 170.
