S1EEL BLOCKADE
McGrady and Labor Lead
ers to Confer as Navy
Work Waits.
A determined effort to clear away
the blockade on steel for naval con
struction resulting from the unwilling
ness of the steel Industry to abide by
the Walsh-Healey act will be made
this week in a series of conferences
conducted by Edward F. McGrady,
Assistant Secretary of Labor.
Tomorrow McGrady will meet with
a small group of Interested labor
union leaders.including John P. Frey,
head of the metal trades department
of the American Federation of Labor,
and Philip S. Murray, representing
the Committee for Industrial Organi
sation in its effort to unionize the
steel industry. Frey is reported to
have lined up with the steel industry
and the Navy Department in urging
that steel for naval construction be
exempted from the wage and hour
provisions of the Walsh-Healey act.
lest, craft union workers In the navy
yards be thrown out of work.
Steel Bids Lacking.
The Navy has been unable to get
bids for 18.000,000 pounds of steel
needed for nine ships—three sub
marines and six destroyers. Naval
construction officers have expressed
fear that the construction of two new
battleships, authorized to be laid down
thus year, may be held up unless the
Impasse is broken.
The Walsh-Healey act forbids a
firm holding a Government contract
for more than $10,000 from employing
child labor, paying loss than the
minimum wages fixed by the old N.
R. A., and working employes more
than 40 hours a week. The 40-hour
week is the stumbling block in the
steel industry, where a rush of private
business has resulted in a 48-hour
week. In addition, the limitation of
profits on naval construction con
tracts to 10 per cent is reported to
have put an additional damper on
the interest of the steel companies
In providing steel for the Navy.
Unless sufficient supplies can be
assured in the near future, the Navy
Department will attempt to allot ail
contracts for its 1937 ship construc
tion program to private yards, it is
believed. Under the terms of the
Vinson-Trammell act. construction is
supposed to be divided equally be
tween private builders and the Gov
•rnment yards.
Thousands of Job* at Stake.
But If the President finds that
Circumstances warrant, he may allot
. any or all naval construction to
either private or Government yards.
The shift of all the 1937 program to
private yards would provide employ
ment there, but would cause the lay
ing off of thousands of employes in
the navy yards.
Unless steel orders can be placed
Immediately, it will be necessary to
start laying off men in some yards
by March 15, according to naval con
struction officials. The yards first to
be affected would be those at Boston.
Norfolk, Charleston, Philadelphia and
Portsmouth. The Portsmouth yard
was assigned two of the submarines,
' Bculpin and Squalus; the Mare Island
yard was assigned one submarine,
the Swordfish. Boston has the de
stroyers O'Brien and Walker. Norfolk
has the destroyers Morris and Wain
wright, Charleston has the destroyer
Roe and Philadelphia the destroyer
Buck.
In December the Navy Department
asked for bids on 25.000,000 pounds
of steel for these nine ships, but
received bids on only 7,000.000 pounds.
Until steel of the proper specifica
tions to complete the ships is as
sured. construction will not be begun.
The Navy also has had difficulty
In obtaining oil, alcohol, machine
tool* and copper.
Despite the fact that the metal
Workers may be found supporting the

steel be exempted from the Walsh- i
Healey act, Mr. McGrady is expected
to try to work out some way in which
the steel companies can work their
shifts to comply with the 40-hour
week.

tionals in the industry, just like
Green, but why discuss Ethiopians.”
The militant chieftain of the C. I.
O. is recovering rapidly from influ
enza. which sent him to bed during
the last stages of the General Motors
atrike settlement negotiation* this
week. He said he would leave for
Washington Sunday to plan hi* cam
paign in the steel industry, and to
work on renewal of United Mine
Workers' contracts with mine opera
tors.
He likened the steel campaign to
“the crouching lion of the labor
movement.”
Asserting that the A. P. of L. had
been ‘‘pecking away” at the auto
mobile industry for several years,
Lewis declared it remained for the
mass-production United Automobile
Workers of America to organize ef
fectively.
‘‘Collective bargaining has definitely
come to the automobile industry,” he
said. ‘‘After 24 years, General Mo
tors, for the first time, has agreed
to bargain with a responsible labor
organization.
‘‘The union in the automobile in
dustry has a membership of 200,000,
conservatively speaking, and within
a few months will have double that
number.
"Seven weeks ago General Motors
Would not deal with or recognize any
union and publicly proclaimed that it
would not in the future. Now it has
entered into an eminently satis
factory contract with a responsible
union.
"General Motors occupies the same
relationship to the automobile in
dustry that United States Steel does
in the steel industry. Each pro
duces about 40 per cent of the total
output in its field.
"The General Motors policy sets the
pace for the industry and we expect
other companies to fall rapidly into
line. There w'ill not be undue haste
about this procedure and the union
will proceed in a logical manner.”
Asked when he expected formal de
mands to be made on the Ford Motor
Co. and the Chrysler Corp., Lewis
said:
“I have no definite announcement
to make on that score at present,
but we will have them bargaining
by next Christmas. Mr. Henry Ford
and all his millions does not daunt us.
He is just another citizen with a lot
of money.” ft
Half Century Devoted to Union
Is Record of Andrew Furuseth
Head of International
Seamen Known as
“Old Viking
By thy Associated Press.
Andrew Furuseth, dean of the
American labor movement, this year
rounds out half a century of service
to various seamen's unions.
Just 50 years ago Furuseth was
elected secretary of the Sailors' Union
of the Pacific. He then was a cru
sading Norwegian sailor of 34.
Today Furuseth is president of the
International Seamen's Union, an
organization he helped to build. Al
though bad health keeps him in a
hospital a good share of the time,
Furuseth still visits the Labor De
partment and Congressmen in the
interest of his union's program.
Known as the "Old Viking." Furu
seth is the only American labor
leader whose bust stands in the La
bor Department.
Furuseth first came to Washington
in 1894 to seek protective legislation
for seamen. Photographers asked
permission to take his picture. He
told them they could when the legis
lation he sought was enacted. On
March 4. 1915—19 years later—he
walked out of the White House and
confronted photographers.
"You can take that picture now,”
he said.

Guard Demobilisation Started as
Workers Return.
FLINT, Mich., February 13 </P).—
Three thousand similing. happy auto
mobile workers today returned to thejr
jobs In the giant Fisher Body plant
No. 1 as the roar of machines marked
the real end of the six weeks' General
Motors strike.
These workers, idle since December
30, when the plant was closed by a
sit-down strike, were the first of 100,
000 who will go back to work by next
Tuesday In the corporation s plants
throughout the Nation.
A few hours after the day shift of
1.500 punched the time clock at the
Fisher plant. National Guard officials
started demobilization of the 3,3G0
troops on duty in the strike zone.
A Cavalry regiment and a Field
Artillery regiment, totaling about 750
men, left for their homes during the
morning. The other troop6 will leave
Flint some time next week.
Wear Union Buttons.
The “return-to-work” movement be
gan at 7 a.m. as the workmen filed
between company guards at the gates;
many of them wore union buttons on
their overalls. Before the strike, wear
ing of the union insignia in the plant
was forbidden.
Only the south unit of the plant
resumed operations today. In the
north unit, where the sit-down took
place, maintenance men were busy
tearing down makeshift barricades put
up by the strikers and preparing the
plant for work by the middle of next
week. The Fisher No. 2 plant, which
also was occupied by strikers, will
be ready to open Tuesday.
With the exception of the final
assembly line, the Buick plant will be
reopened Monday, with 12,500 persons
returning to their Jobs. The Chevrolet
plant also will resume operations Mon

$14,000,000 a year.
Packard's increases boosted the
yearly pay roll about $2,000,000 and
averaged about 5 cents an hour.
These companies produce about fiO
per cent of the Nation's automobiles
and trucks. Their announcements
leave the Ford Motor Co. as the only
major company that has not made
general wage increases in the last year.
Ford Raises “Continuous.”
A member of the Ford organiza
tion, asked if any Increases were
planned, said wage increases with it
are “a continuous process” and that
its wage rates ‘‘are still well above
those of the other companies.”
Another Ford official said the com
pany had raised wages by $44,843,000
during 1936 and that the average
hourly pay is now 83 cents. The
pay roll rise was caused partly by an
increase in the number of workers
from 108,000 to 128.000, the official
stated, but the annual earnings of
the workers were increased $141 a
man on an average.
In addition to the vast sums dis
tributed through wage increases, the
automobile industry is spending mil
lions of dollars a month for plant
expansion. During the past two years
the industry has spent $150,000,000
for this purpose and for increasing
inventories.

Service Employes to Be
Called Out Tomorrow and
Tuesday, Official Says.
by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 13.—Chris
Houlihan, a union president, an
nounced tonight that service employes
in the city’s large hotels will be called
out on strike Monday and Tuesday.
Houlihand, president of Local 320 of
the Building Service Employes' In
ternational Union, predicted that
4.000 dishwashers, elevator operators,
chambermaids, bellhops, porters, door
men, telephone operators and others
would walk out.
He named atx of the biggest hotels—
the Biltmore, the Commodore, the
New Yorker, the Pennsylvania, the
Roosevelt and the Waldorf-Astoria—
as the first targets in a drive to
negotiate for a shorter work week and
improved wages and working condi
tions.
Hotel executive scoffed. The union,
they said, was weak and they were
confident their staffs would stay.
A year ago there was a short strike
of hotel employes, following the city
wide strike of building janitors, ele
J vator operators and engineers called
by James J. Bambrick, president of
Local 32-B, in apartment houses and
loft buildings.
] Last Monday Bambrick started pull
ing union men out of apartment and
office buildings to force agreements
where there were none with the union.
He said that 554 contracts had been
signed because of the drive, with an
other 1,500 or so buildings to be
struck.
Bambrick suspended further strike
