New Teamster Dispute
Develops as New York
Strike Enters 19th Day
By the Associoted Press
NEW YORK. Sept. 20.—The pal
tiallv settled truck strike today
slowed commerce and industry for
the 19th day in New York while an
other teamster dispute seemed to
be developing into a long affair.
Members of Local 804. Interna
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters
(AFLi. on strike against the United
Parcel Service, voted yesterday to
stay away from their jobs in defi
ance of the international union. The
parcel strike has disrupted deliveries
and receipts of merchandise by 375
depaitment stores and specialty
shops alter employes walked out be
cause they said the company would
agiee to pay them for only one day
during the general trucking strike.
Meanwhile, a bloc of 55 large and
small general trucking concerns filed
a damage suit for $10,000 in Federal
CouFt charging Local 807 with con
ducting an unlawful strike in viola
tion of the Smith-Connally War
Labor Disputes Act by failing to
give 30 days' notice before the walk
oui
The court action came on top of
mounting tension by both employ
ers and the truckers. While the Em
ploye:' Wage Scale Committee
stepped up its campaign to push;
the dispute into arbitration mem
bers of the three striking locals
continued to try to split the em
ployer ranks.
However, a spokesman for Local
316 said today he saw the possibility
of ending the dispute between his
local and the Master Truckmen of
America, which has 200 members.
He declined to comment further on
the possibility.
Union figures put the proportion'
of trucks rolling again at about 40
per cent, while employers placed it,
at less tnan 25 per cent. The police;
department figured truck traffic was
up to 50 per cent of normal.
Steelman Sets Up Group
On Inland Transportation
By the Associated Press
Reconversion Director John R.
Steelman yesterday set up a trans
portation co-ordinating committee
to deal with what he termed the
“acute shortage" of inland trans
portation facilities.
Mr. Steelman appointed Col. J.
Monroe Johnson, director of de
fense transportation, to serve as
chairman of the new organization.
In a letter to Col. Johnson. Mr.
Steelman said "The transportation
difficulties which we now face are
of primary concern to a number of
agencies of this government."
The reconversion director said the
co-ordinating committee should
have representatives of the Depart
ments of State. Agriculture and
Commerce, the Civilian Production
Administration National Housing
Agency, Solid Fuels Administration.
Maritime Commission, and the
ODT
The new co-ordinating committee
succeeds the Committee on Export
Transportation which was formed
at the direction of the Office of Waf
Mobilization and Reconversion in
January.
Mr. Steelman suggested that the
new committee give “serious con
sideration" to reinstitution of an
Interstate Commerce Commission
order which set up priorities for
rail movement of wTheat and other
foodstuffs to United States ports.
British Will End Navicert
Shipping Control Sept. 30
By the Associated Press
A wartime system for clamping
down on neutral -ales of critical ma
terial to enemy countries will end
Septembei 30
The British government, aite: con
sultation with this Government, an
nounced that "navicerts, ship navi
cert-'. certificates of origin, landcert
expasses and similar documents will
no longer be required after that
da i f.
These were certificates to permit
passage of ships through the blocade
and thus avoid the necessity of a
search of the high seas to determine j
whether they carried cargoes which j
might have proved of value to the;
enemy if transshipped from a neu
tral country.
The system—first used in World
War I—was reimposed by the Brit-,
ish early in World War II Certifi-I
cates of clearance were issued by j
British consuls after determination
of the cargoes and their potential
value to the enemy

ture of atom bombs at the Oak
Ridge (Tenn.) plant were revealed
today in the October issue of Army

Welded glass pipes—their use still
a secret—were used at Oak Ridge.
Even a microscopic leak in ordinary
piping would be terribly dangerous
to men: glass obviated this risk.
