Morris, who rose from the rank of private in the marine corps to that of major in the calvary reserve, today replaced Maj. Hilton Butler as state director of safety at a salary of $4,200 a year.

The one-time "leatherneck was chosen to direct the state highway patrol and lead the governors campaign against roadside night spots flourishing on gambling and illegal sale of liquor after Butler declined to use the patrol for raiding roadhouses.

26. Despite failure to reach an agreement with striking C. I. O. unionists in a meeting today, officials of the Tennessee Copper company reiterated previous declarations of intentions to reopen plants at CopperhiU, Duck-town and Isabella Monday morning.

Approximately 1,500 employes have been without work since the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers union called a strike July 14 after the company refused to agree to a closed shop contract. Employes have received notice to report at the plants Monday morning at 7 oclock. Members of the C. I. O.

have stated they will not return to their Jobs until the company signs a contract with this union, which was declared the bargaining agent by the national labor relations board. Reid Robinson, of Denver, international president of the smelter workers union, was here today and joined the committee which met with company officials. Polk County Sheriff Broughton Biggs said he would protect all workers who wished to return Monday. The striking union has maintained picket lines at the plants, but has not announced its attitude concerning the reopening so far as non-members are concerned. "I do not anticipate any trouble Monday morning, Sheriff Biggs said tonight.

"I am prepared to give protection to all who wish to resume working when the plants reopen. Authoritative sources here said Biggs had between 150 and 200 special deputies distributed among the plants. Asked about this, the sheriff stated, Td rather not discuss that. But well have no trouble." The C. O.

increased the number on strike today by calling out union employe at the Ducktown and Isabella commissaries. Negotiations will be resumed Monday. Predictions here were that the local plant Monday would reopen with nearly all its employes between 500 and 600 back at work. Workers here, though, either belong to, or are sympathetic with, the A. F.

L. and have not supported the strike. Ducktown and Isabella are the C. I. O.

strongholds. "It is doubtful If any one will return to work at the struck plants, Robinson said tonight. The attitude even of the A. F. L.

group at Copper-hill toward the reopening has been altered considerably since a number of questionable characters were commissioned as deputies sheriff. We shall maintain peaceful picket lines. Robinson indicated that the copper company's principal objections to reaching an agreement with the union was the closed-shop clause in a proposed contract and a clause providing restoration of a wage cut ordered several months ago by the company.
