THE CHATTANOOGA TIMES: CHATTANOOGA. THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1945. OBITUARIES Kansas Wheatmen Neen 20,000 To Harvest Second Largest Crop 4 4 TCI STEELYOR KERS YOTE TO END STRIKE 13-Day Work Delay Causes Huge Loss of War Output BIRMINGHAM, June IS UPV The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company's nine blast furnaces, components of the South's two largest steel mills, were scheduled for a resumption of operations tonight as CIO steelworkers voted to end a prolonged walkout. Lasting 13 days and directly involving 1,100 blast furnace crewmen, the stoppage hobbled TCI's operations, forcing it to lay off some 10,000 workers and halting its entire production of iron and steeL The back-to-work vote, taken this afternoon at a union mass meeting, was "almost unanimous," union officials reported, and followed the reading of a telegram from CIO President Philip Murray. Murray's message, addressed to O.

F. Stafford, president of the acute labor shortage which may reach a total of 10,000 men when troop movements from the European to the Pacific war fronts get under way. In addition to the shortage of track and shop labor, switchmen and trainmen, John S. Hughes, district manager of the railroad retirement board, said equipment and roadbeds were beginning to show the effects of the great strain of three years of heavy wartime traffic With country grain elevators still jammed with last year's bumper crop, and an acute box car shortage, much of the newly harvested wheat will be stored in vacant houses, store buildings, filling stations and a large amount of it just dumped on the ground until storage space or shipping facilities can be provided. Already, Oklahoma elevators in that state's wheat belt have had to turn away newly harvested grain.

In spite of it all, the farmers hope they'll get the wheat in. They whipped the same problem during World War I. There wasn't the extensive machinery to help them back in those days, but the food and manpower problem is greater npw, and the transportation system is more acute. At Washington OPA said any comment on the appeal for extra rations for harvest hands would be left to regional officials.

PHONE a-SSH local union involved in the walkout, asserted: "The dispute is of such a serious nature as to endanger the very existence of our organization at TCI.

It is possible, as a result of this illegal stoppage of work, the National War Labor Board may revoke the maintenance of membership section of our wage contract. "If this is done the harm which will ensue to our organization and its members will be irreparable. I urge you to do all in your power to resume operation today." R. E. Farr, district director of the United Steelworkers of America, said the question of the company's discharge of 20 of the strikers would be arbitrated "ac cording to terms of our contract." The 20 were accused by the company of instigating the walkout, called in support of demands for an incentive wage scale.

Reporting its production loss at approximately 100,000 tons of steel ingots, the company said capacity production could not be attained for at least a week or 10 days after the blast furnaces are rekindled. W. S. Pierce, U. S.

Labor Department conciliator, said a company action emending the time given the workers to return to work and still retain their seniority rights had "materially aided" in the dispute's settlement. The original deadline was reached several days ago. TRI-STATE DRIVERS TO RESUME WORK DALLAS, June 13 JP A settlement of the strike on the Tri-State Transit Company's bus lines was reached here late today. Men are to return to work immediately. A union spokesman termed the settlement "very satisfactory." Company officials have estimated that the strike, which began in Jackson, Saturday night, involved approximately 250 buses and 400 drivers and mechanics on the company's lines in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky and Missouri.

Approximately 60,000 daily passenger fares were affected, the company said. Clifford Potter, disputes director of the Eighth Region War Labor Board, who effected the signing of the agreement, said it stipulates that members of the union will be instructed to return to work as rapidly as word can be sent to them by officials of the two locals involved. Also, the agreement stipulated that within 24 hours after normal operations have been resumed, the parties concerned will immediately commence further contract negotiations which are not to be carried longer than 30 days from date operations are resumed.

STATE WILL STUDY YOW WASTES HERE Ordnance Works Asks Permit to Use River for Dumping NASHVILLE, June IS CfV The state health department has been requested by the Tennessee Stream Pollution Control Board to maka further investigation of proposals by the Volunteer Ordnance Works of Chattanooga that the plant ba allowed to discharge additional chemical wastes Into Lake Chickamauga.

Dr. R. H. Hutcheson, chairman of the board and commissioner of public health, today said the pro posed dumpage involve "red water wastes the end result of TNT manufacturing processes. He said the control board in its first meeting here May 25 had con sidered a letter from the ordnance plant concerning proposals for dumping the red water wastes which heretofore have been disposed of by evaporation and incin eration.

The board voted to inves tigate the matter further befora ruling on the request, he said. Decision Is Reserved "As to the so-called 'yellow wastes. which are now being dumped into the lake," Dr. Hutcheson continued, "the board did not attempt to rule on whether or not the plant's method la contrsry to the Stream Pollution Control Act, The board voted to reserve decision on that until the war Is over and patriotic reasons for permitting it no longer exist." Dr. Hutcheson comment cam simultaneously with release to tha public of minutes of the control board's organizational meetings here last month by Paul S.

Mathes, conservation commissioner and executive secretary of the board. The minutes revealed that board members voted to set up a stream pollution control program under the immediate supervision of R. P. Farrell, technical secretary of tha board and sanitary engineer for the health department.

Dr. Hutcheson said today he expected, an early approval by board members of regulations adopted at tha first meeting, most of which deal with organization of the control program without reference to specific communities of industrial plants. The board voted to write U. S.

senators and representatives from Tennessee asking them to use their influence in having expenditures made by industry for the proper treatment of sewage and industrial wastes considered as a charga against current operating expenses by the internal revenue department in determining tax assessments rather than as a capital investment Minutes of the board meeting disclosed that stream pollution control problems in Knoxville ancf Harriman were not discussed at length, but were left for further consideration "at a future data, BOARD CONSIDERS TRUCKING PERMITS NASHVILLE.

All they need now is: Twenty thousand harvest hands.

Two thousand additional combines. Two thousand additional trucks. A lot of ration points for feeding thousands of transient workers, good eaters all. Thousands of cars to get the wheat to market. And, some place to put it until it can move to market.

The harvest will be underway along the southern border of the state by June 20, delayed fully a week by abnormally wet weather. In five days it should be in full swing. E. H. Leker, in charge of the state harvest labor office here, estimated 20,000 harvest hands would be needed half of them in 37' central Kansas counties.

That in turn brings up another problem how to feed the hardworking newcomers, whose appetites have become legend through the years. Gov. Andrew Schoeppel, receiving reports of farmers' inability to obtain the extra needed rations, has appealed to the OPA for quick help. At the same time, railroads serving the wheat belt reported an O'DWYER IN RACE AGAINST GOLDSTEIN Both New York Candidates Had Humble Beginnings NEW YORK, June 13 UP) Two men who came to New York with little more than the shirts on their backs and take pride in their humble beginnings are opposing candidates for mayor. William O'Dwyer, who today ac cepted indorsement of the Democratic and American Labor parties, came here from Ireland 34 years ago with less than 25 to his name, and started life in the New World as a longshoreman and plasterer's helper.

Jooah J. Goldstein, the Republi- can-Liberal-Fusion candidate, was one of eight children in a family that came to New York from Can ada and settled in a $9-a-month apartment in Madison Street, on the teeming lower East Side. Each worked his way through law school, entered Democratic politics and was appointed a magistrate. Goldstein had been secretary to the late Alfred E. Smith, O'Dwyer a policeman on a tough waterfront beat.

Today, after fighting Tammany Hall for the nomination, Goldstein is a general sessions judge. O'Dwyer, Brooklyn's district attorney, finally succeeded today in forcing Tammany to accept his choices for running mates. Dwyer is 54, Goldstein five years older. Each man is married and childless. LIBBY GLASS WORKERS WILL STRIKE TOMORROW CHARLESTON, W.

June 13 (P) CIO employes of the Lib-by-Owens-Ford Glass Company's five plants, including the huge installation at suburban Kanawha City, will participate in a strike vote tomorrow, a company official said tonight. L. G. Bryan, vice-president in charge of production, said strike notices were posted at the plants today at the direction of the Na tional Labor Relations Board after a seven-day session of conferences with union officials had broken down completely." The contract with the CIO Fed eration of Glass, Ceramic and Silica Sand Workers terminated more than a month ago. The company, whose output is 80 per cent war production, employs about 1,400 workers at the Kanawha City plant, including 000 members of the union.

It also operates plants in Toledo and Rossford, Ohio; Ottawa, 111., and Shreveport, employing about II, 000 workers. SHELBY OCHS come to supplement their income from agriculture. New Deal critics branded the projects as "so cialistic" "communistic" and freely predicted their failure. What would have happened if the war had not come along, offering better employment opportuni ties in private industry, is any body guess. At any rate, in 194Z, under an implied Congressional mandate, the projects were trans ferred to Federal Public Housing for administration and eventual liquidation.

A management arrangement was made with the Dex-dale Hosiery Mills. Lansdale, Pa one of the unsuccessful bidders for the three mills. Bidding was closed on June 5. Bids were considered on each mill, individually, and on the three as a group. The Government's investment in the three properties reached a total of approximately $1,445,000.

With allowance for the factors of depreciation and obsolesence, sale at after more than five years is considered an excellent recovery by the Government under conditions which will safeguard- the interests of residents of the three communities. The Government's total investment in the Crossville mill was $133,831 for the site and building, and $455,172 for machinery and equipment. Complete liquidation of the Cumberland Homestead, including sale of the subsistence homes, probably will be announced about Sept. 1, the Federal Public Housing Authority said. i LT.

MARTI SPEAKS TO STUDENTS AT UC States Knowledge of History Will Combat False Doctrines Marxism, Nazism and other political doctrines which have substituted formula for fact, slogan for thought, were dissected for the benefit of University of Chattanooga summer students yesterday when Dr.

Fritz Marti spoke at chapel service. Dr. Marti Is a native of Switzerland and a graduate of the University of Berne. He is professor of philosophy at the University of Maryland, but is now on leave and last year taught at the University of Chicago. Marx, the speaker said, advanced a creed which was perverted into the Communist dogma.

Hitler produced a formula for power and sold it to his countrymen with a coating of patriotic slogans so that the people would march and chant, but cease to think. The world needs thorough students who will learn and assimilate the facts of history in order to interpret the trends of these times. Dr. Marti declared. He urged his hearers to learn to recognize evil In disguise and do away with it.

There are 217 students enrolled at UC this summer, Dean Maxwell Smith announced, this being one of the largest of summer enrollments on record. The Rev. R. A. Kilburn, chaplain of UC, led the devotional service and Dr.

David A. Lockmiller, president of UC, welcomed the new students. CITY PL A YG ROUNDS WILL OPEN JUNE 18 From Page Three Spool toys and sand modeling classes will be featured.
