Will Get Ford Pact Continued From First Page Edgewater. N. and Iron Mountain, Mich.

He said "splendid progress" was beinsr made In tha giant River Rouge plant at Dearborn, Mich. Martin wa asked whether the union was In a position to elose down all but the River Rouge plant at any time. "Yes," he replied, "and wt could close that one, too." WILL ASK RECOGNITION Martin said tha union would ask Ford for recognition, higher wages, shorter hours and generally better working conditions. "We want a Ford contract and we will have it by the end of this year," Martin said. "Ford wages right now are lower than either the General Motors Corporation or Chrysler Cor poration.

They are also lower than those prevailing In tha parts supply plants all on the basis of hourly, dally and weekly pay. 'If Mr. Ford puts through a raise It will be because of the unionization of hla workers," ha added, referring to reports that Ford Is about to announce a general wag Increase. PLEDGES DISCIPLINE 'We are In a position to guaran tee absolute discipline and respon sibility of our Martin said. "There will be no unwarranted strikes or slt-downs In any company with which we have a contract.

We now have agreements with every manufacturer but Ford and we have agreements with some of Ford's outlying plants in California and Missouri. "We are In a position at the present moment to guarantee absolute responsibility for the carrying out of contracts." TELLS OF "PURGE" Commenting further on the "purge" within the union, Martin said Ed Hall and Wyndham Mortimer had been removed six weeks ago from supervision of working grievances in General Motors plants. "I have personally assumed charge there," Martin said. "Since that time we have not had a single stoppage or strike. "All of the moves In the union during recent months have been to discipline people who might have contributed to unauthorized strikes! We have moved some of them, fired some of them." "The United Automobile Worker of America will do whatever is necessary to prevent unauthorised strikes and to uphold contracts." Martin said he had the full approval of Lewis and the C.

I. O. in the "purge." A hasty lunch is completely enjoyable at our cool fountains. SPECIAL FOUNTAIN LUNCHEON 40 AIR-CONDITIONED CrRAFFrs 1216 CHESTNUT STREET ilOOAOf THAT 1ARTRI oi ol rromment onip Builder Figured in 2 Probes of Navy Activities Continued From First Page labor policies particularly during his term as president of the National As soclation of Manufacturers Bardo was acquainted with both sides of the industrial picture, having worked his way up through the industrial ranks. Born October 24, 1867, In Montgom ery, Lycoming county, Bardo was educated In public schools of the community.

His parents, Benjamin Franklin Bardo and Jennie Grace Moore Bardo, could offer him few ad vantages. He began his career as a railroad telegraph operator at the age of 18, and two years later married Hannah Abigail Hartz, of Mauch Chunk. INTERVAL IN OIL He left his operator's key after a year with the Pennsylvania Railroad and a few months with the Philadelphia te Reading to become supply agent for the Tidewater Oil Co. Tills post In turn was vacated for a better Job as dispatcher for the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Back in railroading again, he became, successively, trainmaster of the Lehigh Valley, assistant superinten dent of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, superinten dent of the New York Central, ass is tant general manager of the Lehigh Valley and general manager of the New Haven and the Central New England Railway.

BECOMES A PRESIDENT On March 1, 1920, he was elected president of the Central New England Railway, serving in that capacity un til 1925, when he became vice presl dent of the American Brown Boverl Electric Corp. In October of 1928 he assumed the presidency of the New York Ship building Corp. In Camden, one of the mast Important shipyards in the country. This post he held during the trying times of depression and the long drawn-out strike of shipyard employees In Camden. Not long after the termination of the strike control of the shipyard was acquired by Interests associated with E.

L. Cord, and Bardo retired as president, ON LABOR BOARD In December, 1934 two months after his retirement Bardo was named as industrial member of the Labor Relations Board for the Newark (N. area, an appointment apparently recognizing his position as head of the National Association of Manufacturers, to the presidency of which he was elected in January of the same year. As spokesman for the Nation's manufacturing interests Bardo lashed out time and again against the New Deal, the NRA and the Wagner Labor act. He was a critic of old-age pensions and compulsory old-age insurance.

He called for New Deal co-operation with Industry to plan a recovery platform. He assailed "coercion" in the recovery program. And, early In 1935, he faced what he termed an Inquisition by the Senate Munitions Comrr'Hee. Refusing to waive his stitution-al rights at the request of the committee, Bardo declared repeatedly that no collusion existed between the New York Shipbuilding Corp. and other concerns for fixing the price of cruiser construction Jobs between 1926 and 1931.

Funeral services will be held Thursday, with burial in Lakcview Memorial Park, near Camden. 4 Seized in Stoning Of Heintz Workers Accused of stoning workers of the HetnU Manufacturing Co. as they left the plant at Front st. and Olney ave. last night, four men were charged with inciting to riot and held at the York rd.

CLINTON BARDO DIES Niin nothing to do with the formation of this union, as Its members are not even employed by the company. "Neither of these unions is on strike. The union of A. P. drivers, helpers, mechanics and garage workers and the Great Atlantic St PaclMo Tea Company have signed an agreement satisfactory to the union.

The drivers of contract produce haulers have, through their union, signed with their employers an agreement astis-faclory to the union. "As satisfied parties to collective bargaining agreements, both the drivers of A. to P. owned trucks, and the drivers of contract produce haulers' trucks, have attempted to carry out their contracts to service our stores and the families who patronl? them. But they have been prevented from doing this.

Squads of armed men cruised the city, Intimidating, iH-atlng and injuring A. Si P. drivers and drivers of contract prjduce haulers' trucks. Not until this violence occurred did A. P.

hire guards. This was done to protect the lives of its employees who want to work.

BOTH LEGS GONE Four years ago a circulatory disease caused amputation of his left leg, and Just a year ago the right leg was removed at the knee. Even with both legs gone, he continued to work until his sight was affected.

Then he removed the brass plate from his red brick house at 1447 N. 17th and with his wife went to Ocean City where he was resting when death came. Well known for his humanitarian Interests, Dr. Wyckoff once summed up his philosophy In these words: "Do as much as you can for other people and stay happy at any cost." WON WIDE ACCLAIM His method of painless extraction, j-prformed with a local anesthetic, which he perfected, won him wide acclaim at the turn of the century He made dental history again in 1910 when he developed a metal cheaper than gold for dentures and Inlays.

The i time ha come' when the people of Philadelphia will not permit any union, particularly where there are contracts, to coerca hundreds of employers in order to sign up one or two concerns. "I will use the full power of my administration to see that union contracts are observed." Threatened violence as a result ol the wallc-flUt, which affected only member of Local 107, caused the Mayor earlier In the day to order all policemen on the afternoon shift kept on duty last nlnht. In addition to the 3200 regular police thus made available, about 330 Park Guard were sworn In for police duty late ThU morning the first 2,10 men on the Police Department's Civil Service eligible list were also to be sworn In for special duty.

Strong pressure brought against taxlcab drivers to Join the strike came to a climax early this morning when a cab was overturned, saturated with gasoline and destroyed by fire at 32d and Chestnut sts. The driver, Charles Magulre, Lombard t. near 25th, escaped Injury. O. C.

Adams, president of the Southern Division of the A. and P. Company, Issued a statement deny ing his employees were on strike and Charging that oubilders were in tlmldating them. He expressed hopes lor an early settlement of the strike. At a ten-minute meeting in Mercantile Hall, Crumbork discarded possibility of an early settlement and charged police with making unjust arrests and courts with setting unreasonable ball.

"If they want to let the city be run by a bunch of finks, it O. with us, but we won't work," he faid. WINDOWS BROKEN Karly this morning after vandals had broken windows in A. and P. stores at Oratz st.

and Susquehanna ave. and at 28th St. and Montgomery the Mayor tried to locate Crum bork without success. Groups which had been conferring in the Mayor's Offloe went home for the night. Meanwhile, activity In the Dock St.

markets was at a standstill. Produce trucks from New Jersey and the Delmarva peninsula were halted outside the city or else detoured to Mew York. When the bell clanged at midnight to start bidding, there was virtually no produce on hand and no trucks to haul what little there was. Criticizing the union for Its "drastic action" in calling the strike without advance notice, Mayor Wilson issued a statement, Immediately upon learning of the wslktout at 3 45 P. M.

In which he promised to maintain law and order "at all costs," "I understand from the leaders of the union that called the general trucking strike that the stores employed 'thugs' to escort their trucks and beat up drivers of other companies," the Mayor's statement began. ASSAILS DRASTIC STEP "Tha first I heard of tha strike was at 3.43 P. after it was called. Neither the police nor the union have supplied me with any Information. I have consistently opposed the employment of thugs either by unions or employers, and I have held In heavy ball all defendants against whom complaints have been made, "Tills I shall continue to do.

If the union has any cases of this charac teremployers hiring thugs with criminal records they have a plain duty to bring them to me, so I may dispose of them promptly. But there la no excusa for them taking these drastio steps without first attempt ing to adjust their differences by other means. "A great many trucking concerns have contract with tha union, and It Is obviously unfair to punish em ployers who have a valid contract because of differences with two or three concerns. Meanwhile I shall maintain law and order In Plula delphla, at whatever cost." Drivers, given until 4 P. M.

to get their trucks off the streets, gathered lata yesterday afternoon In mass picket lines at the office entrance of tha A. cfe P. Company's general warehousing plant at 32nd and Chestnut st. NO IDEA Or Dl RATION Mora than 1000 were In line at P. M.i shouting at passing trucks, but otherwise making no demonstration.

About 30 police, recruited from stations In West Philadelphia, were on hand to keep order. Several loaded A. tt P. trucks were parked in the warehouse, behind locked iron gates, but no attempts were made to move them. More than 800 Camden drivers who ordinarily haul much of the freicht between Camden and Phila delphia, have been instructed noi to iwm the Ptvor ni-trfge or use the ferries.

John O'Neal, secretary-treasurer of Local 676 of the union, said la.st night. Members of the union were stationed at the bridge to see that the rule was enforced. Early in the evening, someone Inside tlie warehouse threw giant firecrackers Into the enclosure surrounding the building. A crowd of several hundred strike sympathizers milled about the warehouse and several windows were smashed by missiles hurled from the throng. COMPLAINTS CITED Joseph Thompson, business agent of Local 47C, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers, also an A.

F. of L. affiliate, said his union was taking no part in the strike. Referring to "thugs," Crumbock said: "These men attacked and otherwise molested our drivers. They forced them to the curb and beat them.

A large number of complaints were brought into headquarters at J09 Spring Garden St. "As the police, our union does not object to them protecting property, but the Mayor has made statement on several occasions that he YOUR OPPORTUNITY SEMI-ANNUAL LUGGAGE SALE INTERESTING REDUCTIONS THUNKS LUGGAGE LEATHER GOODS HAND BAGS GLOVES JEWELRY 1 jj. i i would tiot tolerate men with eriiuiniil reoords on either side In labor troubles. "The police have made feeble efforts If any to get these thns off the street. The thugs have been indulging in violence, smashing stores, clubbing men, dumping trucks, and subsequently they blamed this vio lence on the union.

"The union feels that if the police don't take immediate action and rid the city streets of these armed KflhK- slers, members of Local 107 will take every means to protect themselves. They will also refuse to drive trucks or further endanger their lives until this sll nation has been cleared up." Yesterday strike followed by al most a month a general trucking strike on July called as an out growth of the strikers at the Ward and Preihofer Baking Companies. The latter was called off after the city hud been virtually paralyzed for 15 hours. Coming so suddenly that numerous fruit and produce dealers found themselves caught With full stocks, yesterday's walkout followed furth er violence In the strike from which it originated. In two serious outbreaks yesterday an A.

Si P. driver and six convoy ing guards were beaten by three automobile loads of men, armed with baseball bats, at Spruig Garden and 7th sis. Karller, five men in an automobile had thrown a brick through the win dow of Rablger-Kramer. at 12th and Brown showering an employee with glass. lh concern is a contract hauler for A.

to MEDIATORS Bt'SY Meanwhile, Federal mediators were endeavoring to bring about a settlement between A. and P. offi cials and leaders of the union. Late last night, their efforts had been unsuccessful. Likewise, no success met the ef-fords of W.

Harold Butler, of tha Mayor's Labor Board, to reach an agreement between striking Supplee drivers and members of the Gold Medal Employees Association, charged by the A. F. of L. with being a company union. John Backhus, union president, demanded an investigation of the Gold Modal union "to determine if it is a company union." ADAMS' STATEMENT Among those who conferred in an effort to forestall any serious food shortage In the city were Edward K.

McOrady. Assistant Secretary of Labor; John L. Conners, Federal conciliator; Charles KM. State conclllutor, and Francis Blddle, attorney for the A. and P.

Hie statement of Adams, president of the Southern Division of the A. and P. Company, follows: "It is obviously unfair, as Mayor Wilson (Minted out In tonirht's newspapers, to punish employers who have already signed contracts in good faith with the unions, because of differences between the unions themselves. Mayor Wllon's statement that there was no ne to lake this drastic step 'without first attempting to adjust differences by oher sums up the pre.ent situation in a few words.

This Is in spite of the fact that our drivers and the drivers of the contract produce haulers' trucks have signified their willingness to attempt to make such deliveries. "I am hopeful that the present controversy will be quickly settled, so that the people of Philadelphia will not be further Inconvenienced." ATTACKED BY CHAMBER The general strike was attacked by the Chamber of Commerce last night "indefensible." "For the second time In a month, Philadelphia's economic life is in a turmoil," said the Chamber's statement issued over the signature of George W. Elliott, secretary, "this time because of a city-wide sympathy truck strike reputedly called by so-called responsible labor leaders to enforce their demands against one or two firms. "We are not preluding here the merits of any particular labor dispute.
