BUREAU SLASH
IS 'BIG TASK/
BYRD SAYS
Surveying piles of reports cover
ing Government boards, commis
sions and bureaus, Senator Byrd
XD.). of Virginia, chairman of a
special Senate committee directed
to slash bureaucracy, observes!.,
“It is a big Job, but it must be
done. A lot of money can be
saved through consolidation and
elimination of bureaus no longer
needed.”
Fifty-four of the present 135
i Federal bureaus, boards and com
missions were created in the last
three and a half years, adding
thousands to the Federal pay roll.
The Senator said:
“We have nothing to do with
the policies laid down by Con
gress. It is our aim to work out
plans to do more economically
and efficiently the things that
Congress has said should be
done.”
The Brookings Institution has
been assisting the Byrd commit
tee. All of the 120,000 the Senate
appropriated for the committee's
work has been turned over to the
institution for employment of ex
perts, all subject to committee di
rection.
Byrd plans to call a meeting of
his committee late this month.
He indicated several months
would be required to complete
recommendations.
2 UNiOiOIN
SHIP STRIKE
NEW YORK, Dec. 1 (1.N.5.).
Ranks of maritime strikers on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts were
strengthened today by the decision
of two additional unions—the Ma
rine Firemen, Oilers and Water
tenders Union and the American
Radio Telegraphists Association—
to join the walkout.
The two unions have a total
membership of about 9,000, but the
strike of the radio operators will
be a limited one as they will con
tinue work on ships operated by
companies with which their asso
ciation has contracts. These in
clude the international Mercantile
Marine Company, the Grace Line,
Black Diamond Line and Isthmian
Line.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1
(1.N8.). —Peace negotiations in
the Pacific Coast shipping strike
of 37.000 men seemed to be tem
porarily up a blind alley today.
The only peace move under way
was a scheduled meeting between
the steam schooner operators’
group and the American Radio
Telegraphists Association.
Negotiations between the steam
schooner operators and the Mas
ters, Mates and Pilots Association,
one of the seven striking West
Coast maritime unions, were
stalemated.
SIX MEN KILLED

DELTA, Pa., Dec. 1 (1.N.5.).

one was Injured severely this
afternoon in an unexplained ex
plosion of dynamite at the mill
and slate quarry of the Funk

Rules Against Strike
COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 1
(1.N.5.). —A unanimous decision
of the executive board of the
Window Glass Cutters’ League of
America protesting the strike
called by the American Federa
tion of Flat Glass Workers in fac
tories of the Pittsburgh Plate
Glass Company, was announced
today by H. D. Nixon, secretary
of the League.

league, a craft union with about
2.000 members, Nixon said, felt
the walkout ordered by officials
of the Flat Glass Workers’ Union,
one of those supporting the com
mittee for industrial organization,
was unjustified.

TALKS RESUME
IN MD. STRIKE
CUMBERLAND, Md., Dec. 1.
With settlement of the three-week
old Celanese plant strike believed
near, the conferees who yesterday
went into session at the plant re
sumed deliberations today.
While no official announcement
of developments has been made,
it was rumored that there was a
strong possibility that the union
would be recognized, that collec
tive bargaining rights would be
allowed and that a compromise
wage increase of 12V2 per cent
would be given the 9,000 strikers.
Those participating in the con
ference are William McG. Cam
eron, of New York, vice president
of the Celanese Corporation of
America; Charles D. Walton, plant
manager; George Baldanzi. vice
president of the Textile Workers
of America; John T. Jones, dis
trict president of the United Mine
Workers of America; William F.
Kelly, of the C. I. 0., and repre
sentatives of the strikers and the
Department of Labor.
Possibility that the peace con
ference might be broken off was
seen when deputy sheriffs started
serving warrants on the 50 per
sons named in the strike disorders
of last Friday and Saturday.
Eight persons were arrested last
night and booked at the jail with
out bond, although union officials
asserted there had been an agree
ment that no effort would be made
to serve the warants until the
peace negotiations were ended.
