Penna. School Press Assn. District Convention Held at Central Catholic More than 1,500 employes of the Allentown plant. Mack Manufacturing who have been on strike for longer than six months, last night voted unanimous confidence in their negotiators and continuance of the strike until a favorable, agreement has been reached. The vote took place as the climax of a mass meeting in Young Men's hall.

Leaders of the United Automobile Workers-CIO addressed the assemblage, but the most' resounding ap plause was saved for remarks of the strikers, who were given the floor to voice their individual opinions at all times during the three-hour session. Warner Sensinger, president of Local 677, UAW-cio, was chairman oi tne meeting. Sensinger made a point of asking two question's at the outset, and a special request was made by the union that these questions, and the answers to them, be published. They were: Q. Has anyone been denied the right to speak at any meeting held by Local 677 during my term of omce.

A. No. i Q. Was there ever a meeting held since the start of negotiations between representatives of the union and the Mack Manufacturing Co. during which a full report of negotiations was not given.

A. No. When Sensinger had received the answers to both questions, striker who had asked for the floor suggested that all letters submitted to local newspapers for publication be printed with signatures. This suggestion met with the approval of the assembled body. Benjamin Blackwood, Detroit, member of the UAW international board of directors, commended the strikers for the "courageous stand" they have taken, and admonished them.

"We should put up a great fight. Our chances of success are greater than ever. Through that fight the average working man will raise his standards." Martin Gerber, New York, UAW-CIO regional director who has participated in many of the Mack negotiations, issued a challenge to the Mack officials: "We challenge the Mack Truck Corporation to public debate on any of the issues. We'll go further than that. If the company will grant it, we'll allow newspapermen to sit.m on negotiations so they can record a true word picture for public scrutiny." He said that "we, your negotiating committee, accepted the government's proposals for settlement of the strike, on condition that the company would accept them, in order to prove to the workers and the communities in which they live, where the blame for con 'There Is No v'PV mtA aAfrl ..41 WfliU; "'H' 2 1 i Injuries Cause Death of 'Dank' Schneider Adolph Philip Schneider, prominent Allentown businessman for many years and before than one of this 1 1 ft i I vY 1 4 nmxiti feos.

2, 1946 5 if A -w 4 St? there were many parts of the government's proposal that were obiection- able to the union, but that "someone had to make a first move, and we were willing 10 snow tnat we are bargaining in good faith." George Kampf, of New Brunswick, UAW district representative, gave a history of negotiations 6ince before the strike started last April 29. He told of the government's attempts through the U. S. Conciliation Service to settle the strike, and apologized for voting to accept the government proposal. He said, "The committee, when it agreed to accept the government proposal as a basis for settlement, had only your interests at heart." He said he realized the workers do not fully approve the government proposals, but that he felt they would "go along" with the committee, which was "forced to refute charges of bad faith in bargaining." George Nejmah, chairman of the Lehigh County Industrial Unions Council, spoke briefly.

He said that he had heard charges that UAW was not operated as a democracy and that he attended the meeting to determine for himself whether those charges were true. He said that last night's meeting was run in a thoroughly democratic manner. In conclusion, he urged the strikers to exercise their voting franchise next Tuesday. Announcement was made from the dais that "no worker will go hungry, no worker will go unclothed, regard' less of how the strike is A request was made that anyone In need of food or clothing, anyone with bills which must be pair, present their needs to the clerk at the UAW home at 1104 Walnut St. Gerber said that Walter Reuther had informed him, "We'll do all we can to help those who need it in the days of hardship that lie ahead."

Recalls March Warning The General said "general acceptance "in this country" of the conclusion drawn by General Peyton C.

March, chief of staff during World War I and a distinguished alumnus of Lafayette college," could have diminished the possibility of a second World War within our time." Eisenhower said General March wrote in 1919 the "present interna tional position (of the United States) must be recognized as being-attended by tremendously increased responsibilities." "Unfortunately," Eisenhower added, "my generation chose' to ignore this warning. V'e resumed our faith in geographic immunity behind the oceans tnat separated us from Europe and Asia, whittling the armed forces to a point one step removed from extinction when war did come to us again, it took us two years to get our power mobilized while others bore the weight of battle." He said "General March's warning 27 years ago is far more urgent today. "Our geographical immunity has totally Xsappeared. Our responsibilities huve multiplied. Both selfish interest and the world's future -press us to a firm resolve that we shall never again through our arjathv or weakness permit aggression another cnance.

And again I do not mean weakness solely in the narrow military sense! If we are ever to build a world peace, the time is now." Addresses Veterans Departing from his prepared address, General "Ike" asked the audience to permit him to speak directly to those among his listeners who are "my old comrades." To the veterans, Eisenhower directed a moving plea to exercise wise leadership and guard the principles that made the nation great. "I am privileged to appear as a rep resentative of the men in khaki who did so much," the chief of staff said. "I am weighted with a sense of humility. The stamina that they showed enables us to meet here today." The general urged the veterans to assume the role of leaders, remembering that "with leadership goes responsibility." He reminded them that veterans "are marked men." He lauded those who "stood ready to lay your life on the line" and called on the ex-servicemen to fight against all forms of tyranny as they did at Saint Lo, Salerno, the Philippines and Okinawa.

Schneider, who took the name 'Dank" when he was working his way thru college and was playing on local professional and semi-professional ball clubs during the summer months. has been employed in the purchasing department of Bethlehem Steel Co. during the past five years. He was on his way to the plant early on Thursday morning in company with Harrison Smith ana Mrs. Amandus Albright, fellow employes, when the accident happened.

Two other fellow employes were to be picked up by their car a little farther along on their route, an arrangement that was put into effect during the war years and was known as "share the ride" plan. Mr. Smith used his car and drove the three last days of the week and Mr. Schneider was wont to use his car and drive the other three days. At the intersection of Highway 309 with Susquehanna street Smith's car collided with a car driven by Edwin Hunsberger of Quakertown.

The three occupants of Smiths car to gether with Hunsberger and his passenger, Harvey Egbert of Center Valley, were hurt and taken to the Sacred Heart hospital. Schneider's injuries were at once noted as the most serious for he had fractures of a number of ribs, punctured lungs, broken right leg and spinal injuries. Yesterday he sank rapidly, dying during the early evening. Mr. Schneider was a son of the late Philip and Philabena Schneider and was the youngest of ten children, being born on January 30, 1882, while the family resided in Narrowsburg, N.

Y. However, in his early childhood the family removed to White Mills, where his father and elder brothers were employed in the glass industry. The ambitious young man entered Lafayette college and graduated with a degree in electrical engineering with the Class of 1909. During his college fyears he was-the baseball team's star pucner ana captain or its 1903 team. He also was president of his class in his senior year and was elected life president.

During the summer months while at Lafayette he played on the Cat-asauqua Reds ball teams of 1906, 1907 and 1908. After graduating from college he was given a tryout by the Philadelphia National League team ana was sent to Oakland and later to the Buffalo team. In 1910 he abandoned athletics to become an engineer for the P. P. ij being connected with the power sales department from 1910 to 1916.

In the latter year he bought a majority stock interest in the old-established firm of Peters Jacoby, which ran a restaurant, bakery and ice-cream manufacturing establishment. He became the president of that successful company and re mained at head until he disposed of the business in 1929 and retired.

To isolate ourselves once again will be the prelude to another world con flict, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, U. S. Army chief of staff, warned in a Founder's Day address at Lafayette college yesterday afternoon as he stressed that "tne unitea tstates must not shirk its responsibilities." The man who led Allied armies on the long road back to victory in Europe said that "there is no short cut or easy way to lasting peace, a staunch will and the strength to enforce it are demanded." Driving home his words with char acteristic incisiveness and vigor, General Eisenhower asserted that "we have not yet reached the millenium when arbitration and reason will entirely replace force." He described the United States as a "leader within the community of nations on whose strength and guidance countless millions depend." Should the United States falter in the course It has chosen, he said, "into the vacuum will rush the same evil elements which nullified democracy's triumph in tne first World War." "No other seauel is possible, should the United States, the earth's most powerful force for peace, abandon its present position." The five-star general said "we can now look back with satisfaction to the accomplishment of a demobilization second only in size to organizing for war." However, he concluded, "we look forward to the future with deep conviction that m.litary weakness on our part must not again permit the fruits of victory to be lost." Substantial Pledge Although the Nation's military might has been reduced to a fraction of its wartime peak, Eisenhower said it "is nevertheless the most substantial pledge in all our history that the United States is prepared to guard its victory. In your own interests you will see that that pledge is sustained." "A staunch will and the strength to enforce it are demanded.

The weak have not assurance of peace. They can only accept the future without influence upon it. "But those who are strong, both in the justice of their cause and their resolve to defend it, can assist the world to freedom froru war." Eisenhower said "our present effort to effect another fundriental change in human relations by the liberation of our world from war and the fear of war is a natural extension of the democratic ideals..
