32,000 IN ALCOA

SET STRIKE VOTE

‘Inopportune Time’ Stoppage, Government

Tells Workers.

By UNITED PRESS : Labor leaders, company and government officials sought today to stave off or settle “grievance” walkouts that threatened war. production in basic industries in the east, middle west and on the Pacific coast and Canada.

In Los Angeles, 3000 United Automobile Workers (C. I. O.) voted to resume work today after a one-day walkout at the large Vernon plant of the Aluminum Co. of America. William B. Taylor, U. A. W. West

Coast director, urged a return tof.

- work and read a telegram from the

war labor board which said “this|

is an inopportune time to strike - against the government.” ' Theawalkout, unauthorized by the union, had been called in protest against dismassal of 30 workers. The shutdown of the aluminum plant threatened closing of the Vultee Aircraft, Inc, and airplane parts plants.

Seeks Presidential Help

At Pittsburgh President N. A. Zonarich of the Aluminum Workers of America (C. I. O.) announced he would appeal directly to President Roosevelt to help avert a strike of 32,000 C. I. O. workers in seven vital Alcoa plants. The workers have a wage grievance and called for a strike poll ‘of its members on Aug. 27. . At Louisville, Ky., a group of C. I. O. aluminum workers picketed the 11 plants of the Reynolds Metals Co. in what they termed a “lockout,” despite a refusal by the NLRB to call a bargaining election. perations at the plant continued th the help of A. F. of L. workers, who the NLRB said were in the. majority. At San Diego, approximately half of the A. F. of L. electricians employed at the marine base at Camp Pendleton walked out yesterday without calling a strike. The 11th naval district announced the walkout apparently was caused by dissatisfaction over wage schedules, despite earnings of $91.50 a week.

Drivers Threaten Strike

In Minneapolis, representatives of ‘the Regulated Motor Transit association met last night to consider . action in a threatened strike by over-the-road truck drivers in 12 midwestern states. The walkout was ordered by the International Jrotherhood of Teamsters (A. F. of L.) in protest of the WLB’s failure to hand down final recommendations in a wage dispute. Union officials said they had no information the strike was in progress. At Detroit H. 5 Weckler, vice president and general manager of the Chrysler Corp., charged 475 A. FP. L. construction workers with “sabotage” in walking off their jobs at the firm’s tank arsenal. The workers struck yesterday after the management refused to comply with a union demand that 40 C. 1. O. employees working on an addition to the plant be replaced with A. F. L. workers. In “Washington, = Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins certified

four labor disputes at: New York,|

Blue Island, Ill, Kalispell, Mont., and Elkhart, Ind. to the WLB. In Canada, nearly two-thirds of . Canada’s basic steel industry faced a strike by workers demanding wage increases. C. H, Millard, na-| tional director of the United Steel Workers of America (C. 1. O.) appealed to Prime Minister MacKenzie King to intervene.

All But 6 Cents Goes for Bonds

. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 22 (U. P.).— ‘The pay clerks at Curtiss-Wright

Co. scratched their heads and looked again when they spotted William C. Garrett's pay check. It was for six certs. On investigation they discovered that Garrett had set aside -$40 of his $41 weekly check for purchase of war bonds, The remaining 94 cents went to social security and insurance payments. Garrett, who operated a farm near Corning, Ark. earlier this year, explained. “I had an extra-big crop of razor-back hogs this year, so I sold them ‘and came to work here because I had some factory experience and wanted to help win the war. And now I'm living on my hog money.” /

REPORT INCREASING VIOLENGE IN INDIA

NEW DELHI, India, Aug. 22 (U. P.).—Renewed violence was reported breaking out in the hinterland villages of Madras and Bengal provinces today, according to press and the accounts of travelers reaching New Delhi. * Published reports yesterday asserted that Indian violence appeared to be ebbing, but this morning’s papers from the interior suggested there was no sign of slackening in unrest there, with rioters frequently resorting to arson. Travelers said the movement had taken hold in many villages of the United Provinces, where at least three places reported arson yesterday while demonstrating mobs at other villages kept police occupied.

‘JAKE THE BARBER HELD IN SWINDLE

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Aug. 22 (U. P.).—John. (Jake. the Barber) Factor, Chicago stock salesman, and 11 other men today faced indictments charging use of the mails to defraud Midwest investors of nearly $1,000,000 in an alleged whisky warehouse receipt swindle." U. S. District Attorney T. E. Diamond said Factor €hd his associates persuaded owners of whisky warehouse receipts to turn them over on a promise that their whisky would be bottled as soon as it was four years old and they would receive $100 a barrel instead of tre usual $60 or $70. The district attorney explained that the defendants then sold the warehouse receipts to other victims on a promise of tremendous profits. Diamond estimated there were about 250 victims. * x cm ————————————— PROF, EVANS KEEPS POST Prof. Louis E.

trust, closed after a husky, pound Standard vice threatened to “beat up” a slightlybuilt special assistant to Attorney

General Francis Biddle. Charges Lying

The government official, Robert M. Hunter, had accused five of six

{Standard executives who testified of

lying to the committee. Included was - R. T. Haslam, Standard vice president and former Massachusetts institute of technology instructor. Haslam asked Hunter to withdraw his statement that Standard offichls made “deliberate misstatements of facts.” Hunter offered to go over the record and, if Haslam convinced him he was wrong, to apologize. “How old are you?” Haslam asked. “I'm 417. » “I'm 54,” snapped Haslam, “so there would be no inequality if we should meet outside.”

Ends the Matter

“Does that mean‘you’re going to beat me up?” asked Hunter. “I may,” Haslam retorted. That seemed to end the matter. Haslam turned to talk to Bone and Hunter left the committee room. Earlier, Standard president, W. S. Farish, made a final denial of charges his firm’s relations with the German trust constituted a “worldwide cartel.” “We became partners and pooled our interests,” he said. Specific charges against Standard had been that patent arrangements worked out with the .German firm delayed American © production of synthetic rubber. Farish contended the arrangement, ‘instead of delaying production, speeded development and gave valuable information on manufacturing other war materials.

One suggestion was that stamps at the end. of the book, starting with No. 27, be used for coffee, leaving those at the front for future sugar purchases.
