America Stays at Pier
As Dockworkers Vote
On Wage Proposal
~ By th* Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—The liner
America, h^r scheduled sailirtfc late
yesterday delayed by an unexpected
strike of dockworkers, remained at
her pier today while new contract
negotiations by the AFL Interna
nat.ional Longshoremen's Associa
tion were being wmrked out.
The TLA. seeking to renew its con
tract with the New York Shipping
Association before midnight, tonight,
directed its 40 locals to vote last
night on a proposed wage increase
of 10 cents an hour and report the
results today. Renewal of the con
tract before some provisions of the
Taft-Hartley Act go into effect to
morrow would permit the union to
extend preferential hiring clauses
in the contract.
The America is berthed at one of
10 piers worked by 4,000 members of
Local 791 of the ILA. They failed
to report for work yesterday and a
union spokesman said the dock
workers believed the proposed new
contract should contain improved
provisions on vacations and working
conditions. The union had asked
a 25-cent increase in the present
straight time hourly pay of $1.65,!
but a negotiating committee agreed
Tuesday night on the 10-cent basis.
Many of the Americas 950
Europe-bound passengers got their
luggage aboard themselves, by hand,
wheelbarrow and cart. But heavy
baggage, mail and ship's stores could
not be loaded and departure of the
vessel, the Nation's largest, was
postponed until at least late today.
Carole Landis, film star, and Sir
Norman Angell. British economist,
and Nobel Prize winner, were
among the passengers. Some re
mained aboard last night; others!
came ashore to hotels.
Basil Harris, chairman of the
board of the United States Lines,
operator of the America, said the
company had no advance warning
of what he termed the “unauthor
ized strike.”

Green Asks Dismissal
Of Film Probe Counsel
In 'Attack' on Padway
By tho Associated Pross
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21.—William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, has demanded
of Representative Kearns, Repub
lican. of Pennsylvania that he dis
charge the counsel for his congre^
sional subcommittee investigating
film labor problems because of what
Mr. Green termed a “brutal attack”
on an AFL attorney.
The congressional committee coun
sel, Irving G. McCann, and Joseph
A. Padway, general counsel for the
AFL, engaged in a brief fist fight, in
a Federal building hearing room
Tuesday. Mr. Padway had objected
to what he termed Mr. McCann’s
“Gestapo tactics” in questioning
witnesses.
“The continued employment of
McCann after the brutal exhibition
he gave must be interpreted as ap
proval of his disgraceful conduct by
those that employ him.” Mr. Green
said in a telegram to Representa
tive Kearns.
As the afternoon session of the
hearing .opened yesterday, Mr.
Kearns said it had been reported to!
him that some persons had come
into the hearing room with firearms
in their possession.
"Please park your firearms behind i
the door or under a chair before you
come in so I won’t have to have
everybody searched," Mr. Kearns
said with a shudder.
One of the day’s witnesses, Edward
Arnold, former president of the
Screen Actors’ Guild, testified that
Mr. Green had told him the contin- I
uance of Hollywood's AFL jurisdic- I
tional disputes was the responsibility
>f William L. Hutcheson, head of
;he AFL Carpenters’ Union.
Mr. Arnold said Mr. Green told
lim Mr. Hutcheson could settle the
Hollywood trouble, “but he won’t."

AN EXCERPT FROM LEAFLET 67,
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE:
“The Government’s Beef Grading and Stamping
Service benefits housekeepers because, if they buy
Graded Beef, it assures a degree of satisfaction
commensurate with the grade of Beef asked
for. Beef possesses an unusually wide range
of quality, but to the average person all
Beef looks much alike. In the absence
of some definite means of identifying
the grade, Beef for the most part
is purchased for the table in
haphazard fashion. Too often
guesses are inadequate and dis
satisfaction results. The Beef
looks good but proves to be
tough and tasteless. The Gov
ernment’s grade stamp on Beef
means all that it signifies—IT
IS UNCLE SAM’S OFFICIAL
STATEMENT OF QUALITY
TO CONSUMERS.”
