Donald Get- Chicago, July 17 (JP) Chiefs of the CIO packinghouse workers organizing committee, empowered to call strikes against the big packing companies, considered the next move in their efforts to obtain contracts in the huge industry today.

Delegates to the national policy convention of the union voted unanimously yesterday to authorize officers and national bargaining committees to order walkouts at any time if the meat packing firms declined to confer with them for the purpose of formulating working agreements. Armour First Objective The first step was scheduled for tomorrow when officials planned to serve formal notice of the action of the conference upon Armour Company, major objective of the CIO's new drive. In resolutions adopted unani mously by claiming to represent 78,000 of the 129.000 workers in the industry, the conferees expressed willingness to "leave the question of whether or not Armour Company officials shall meet with officials of our union in the hands of President Roosevelt" but added that, if Armour refused to negotiate, a strike' should be declared in 17 of the firm's plants where the CIO claims a majority of the employes. Similar action was authorized in the plants of the other units in the "big four" of the meat processing industry Cudahy, Wilson and Swift and in independent packing houses where the CIO has a majority membership and has been unable to gain written agreements. Cheer Lewis' Pledge A crowd of CIO unionists, esti mated by their spokesmen to num ber 16,000, cheered John L.

Lewis pledge of "the full support" of the Congress of Industrial Organiza tions at a mass meeting last night. The PWOC claimed it had been certified by the national labor re lations board as the sole bargain ing agent in Armour plants in Chi cago, Kansas City, St. Jos' eph, Sioux City, Iowa, Mason City, Iowa, South St. Paul, Minn West Fargo, N. Denver, Los Angeles, Indianapolis, and National City, 111.

TRUCKING RACKET BROKEN BY U.S. New York, July 17 () Federal action to break up an alleged trucking "tribute" conspiracy, operating from coast to coast, was taken today when Judge John C. Knox signed a decree permanently enjoining Local 807, Inter national Brotherhrood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers of America, from acts of violence and intimidation. Assistant U. S.

Attorney General Moses H. Lewis said signing of the decree, which was consented to by the union, would end what he described as a nationwide racket prey ing on shippers, owners and truck drivers. Lewis said defendants In the case hired gangsters to terrorize drivers and force payment of $9.42 for large trucks and $8.41 for small trucUs entering the state. The federal prosecutor said simi lar conditions prevailed in every state and that scores of other cities would probably follow suit to wipe out the racket as a result of today test-case action. Two of the defendants, William Campbell and Austin Furey, union delegates, said by federal authorities to have been the "brains" of the conspiracy, pleaded guilty a few minutes after the decree was signed.

They face a maximum penalty of one year Imprisonment and a $5,000 fine. They will be sentenced Oct. 2. United States exports to Soviet Russia in 1938 were larger than in any year since 1931, reports the U. S.

D. Labor Group Not Promoting WPA Strikes Huron, July 17 (JP) The South Dakota State Federation of Labor is not attempting to induce a general strike of WPA workers in protest against the new relief legislation which establishes a wage provision based on a 130-hour work month. This statement was made today by Albert J. Maag, Huron, president of the state federate, who said his attention had been called frequently to rumors that his organization was urging WPA workers to strike against the new provision. "Our federation desires to make it known to all concerned that we have not urged any group on WPA projects to conduct a strike as a means of bringing about the restoration of former wage scales," Maag declared.

"Inasmuch as congress is responsible for this new setup we feel tha the sensible thing to do is have mass meetings and send In protest resolutions to our congressional delegation as has been done by this fed eration." McEachron Believes Deer Loss In Fire Was Negligible Loss of deer and other wildlife in last weeks forest fire 11 3 was "very, very small aeciarea Newell McEachron, Rapid City, deputy state game warden, Monday, following a complete survey of the area. Many deer fled the danger, zone early in the fire, McEachron said, and were seen leaving the area. Others left later. McEachron said he had inspected the region thoroughly and found only one burned carcass, that of a fawn, and there is no way to tell if fire caused that death or not. "Deer have an exceptionally keen sense of the game warden said, "and the chances are most of the deer were out of the area before even the most of the fire fighters arrived.

Many were observed going back through the fire line into the burned-over region, their instinct telling them that if they could return to what had already been burned, they would be safe," he explained. McEachron said since the fire was extinguished many more have returned to the burned section and the loss was probably negligible. He said he had also seen many rabbits in that territory, they probably having "holed up" during the blaze. BRITISH GENERAL (From page 1) said persons acquainted with the Saturday conversations. Prime Minister Chamberlain declared in the house of commons that Britain "would not and could not" reverse her foreign policy in the far east at "the demand of another power." His statement referred to reports Japan had made such demands as condition for opening formal negotiations concerning the Japanese blockade of the British concession at Tientsin.

Chamberlain denied any demands had been received from Tokyo and said Japan's attitude "would be more correctly described as a desire that Great Britain should endeavor to understand the Sino-Ja-panese hostilities with more un derstanding of Japan's difficulties and the Japanese side of the case." The far eastern situation was fur ther complicated by continued out bursts along the border between Japanese supported Manchoukuo and Soviet-backed outer Mongolia. Manchoukuan advices said eight Soviet planes had attacked the Halunarshan railway center yesterday 125 miles inside the frontier. Some observers believed the raid Phone EQ3-W Minneapolis, July 17 (AP) Gov ernor Stassen, acting as mediator in the WPA strike here today pro posed a basis of settlement involv Ing concessions by both sides. "If the strikers and their leaders will terminate the present situation," Stassen said, "and the building tradesmen on their part agree that they will all stop working but leave other projects and workers alone, or decide to go on and work on WPA under protest, then I will recommend that within the full quota limitations, everyone work ing on a WPA project when this situation began will be allowed to go back to work if he desires with' out prejudice whenever projects in Minneapolis are reopened, probab ly Wednesday. Elaborating on his statement re garding the building trades, Gover nor Stassen said he would recom mend that if the building trades workers do not agrse to return to work under protest, he will recom mend that all projects in Minneap-olis on which building trades work' ers are employed be shut down.

The national board of the Work' ers Alliance, WPA union, balloted today on the question of calling up on members to end "temporarily all WPA job stoppages in which we are concerned" pending action by con gress. David Lasser, alliance president, after a conference in Minneapolis, where a week of bloody rioting ended Friday in the killing of one man and injuries to 17 other per sons, telegraphed President Roosevelt last night of plans for the poll. Ttxt Of Message Lasser wired that the vote was proposed "to avoid further shooting (of) innocent people by power drunk reactionaries and to give congress (an) opportunity to deliberate relief law changes in (an) atmosphere (of) calmness and reason xxx." With virtually all WPA projects here shut down by Linus Glotz- bach, state administrator, Lasser said he was "confident there will be no reprisals" if workers return to their jobs. Glotzbach reserved a decision on reopening the projects "until I find out they really pro pose to work and there will be no interference." Telegraph wires also carried an other message to the president, this one from Mayor George E. Leach, who said he had failed to receive a response from Attorney General Murphy on providing federal assistance in maintaining law and order.

Charging that "certain labor ele' ments nad "revolted," the mayor urged the president to notify gov ernment agencies to cooperate with city authorities in settlement of the strike xxx. Mayor's Alternative In lieu of that, the mayor told the president he should order a federal guard upon WPA projects here. Last Friday's riot was laid at the door of the police in a series of resolutions and letters drafted Satur day by strikers' committees. Another resolution assailed Gov. Harold Stassen for failing to carry out campaign pledges of "more jobs" and sponsoring a plan to have relief clients work for "scab wages" to apply on groceries and rent.

The Minneapolis city council was asked to investigate the "murderous" actions of police. Plans were made by labor unions for a public funeral tomorrow for Emil A. Bergstrom, 60, killed in Friday' riot. AH WPA project workers were on the job in St. Paul this morning except where weather conditions in-terferred and no pickets were on duty, an early survey by police and WPA officials revealed.

Apply For Relief Several hundred Minneapolis persons thrown out of work by the WPA shutdown applied for relief today, but aid was withheld for the time being by Relief Superintendent O. A. Pearson. "I personally see no reason why they should get relief," Pearson said. "Until I get specific instructions from the board I will give no relief." If the city were forced to assume the full burden of care for those thrown out of work by the shutdown, relief authorities estimated the city's relief cost would be increased about 75 per cent.

Disease Breaks Out On Refugee Ships Paris, July 17 (JP) Two small German steamers loaded with Jewish refugees have been given temporary refuge at Beirut, Lebanon, following the outbreak of a pestilential disease among the passengers, French authorities announced today. The disease developed after a wave of suicides was reported among the refugees who despaired of finding a haven after weeks of wandering. The steamers, carrying a total of more than 1,000 passengers, were admitted to the Beirut harbor. Another refugee-laden German ship was found to be free from disease and was obliged to put back to sea with her 800 passengers. A fourth ship, with 700 on board, was reported cruising in the same region seeking to land its refugees.
