PRESIDENT URGED TOACT IN STRIKE West Coast Officials Join| Private Groups in Plea for Intervention. By the Assoclated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, January 6.—City and State officials joined with private groups today in a growing plea for presidential intervention to end the 69-day Pacific Coast maritime strike. Mayor Angelo J. Rossi of San Fran- eisco suggested a coastwide appeal urging the President to intervene as the only means of a speedy end to the conflict. Addressing the Nation by radio last night, Rossi blamed the “personal am- bitions” of two strike leaders, Hary Bridges of San Francisco and Joseph Curran of New York, for prolonging the deadlock. Gov. Frank Merriam of California telegraphed the President asking his “personal intervention in behalf of & speedy and equitable restoration of shipping operations.” The California Legislature had be- fore it a resolution of State Senator Walter McGovern to memorialize Presi- dent Roosevelt to bring about a settle- ment. The California Church Council, representing, its officials said, 500,000 members, joined the request for presi- dential intervention. Gov. Charles Martin of Oregon dis- closed he had sent the President a “confidential telegram” concerning the | strike. He did not say whether he | asked intervention, but told newspaper men West Coast Governors are “at the end of our rope.” Rossi charged that Bridges, coast president of the International Long- shoremen’s Association, said there | would be no settlement until striking East Coast seamen, led by Curran, got their demands, too. “I know that the impudent pro- nouncement that the existing mari- time strike shall be continued in- definitely while Mr. Bridges and Mr. Curran work out their personal ambi- tions has seriously hurt the cause of organized labor,” said the mayor. | Maritime strike leaders repeatedly | have denied West and East Coast set- |- tlements would have to be reached simultaneously. Rossi said he was advised “a few days of honest negotiation” would bring peaceful solution of existing | questions “in all human likelihood.” Kidnaping (Continued From First Page.) June Robles, the little Arizona girl, who turned up in the desert 19 days after she disappeared, were better able to stand captivity than Charles. He was thinly clad and suffering a cold ‘when seized the night of December 27. Pupils in 11 Catholic schools of- fered prayers for his safety. Authori- tles remained inactive to let the kid- naper deal with the boy's parents Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Mattson. Today there was no outward indi- cation the kidnaper might return the boy soon. For more than 24 hours no obstacles to ransom negotiations or return of the child have been put in his way. Through the Seattle Daily ‘Times “Personal” column, he again re- ceived assurances Tuesday, thus: “Mable—we have received your eommunications. Police have not in- tercepted them. Channels are en- tirely clear. Your instructions will be | followed. We are ready—Ann.” City police and Department of Jus- tice agents continued to respect Dr. Mattson’s wishes by maintaining com- plete inactivity. Federal agents who periodically have kept watch at the Mattson home were missing. A stream of automobiles vis- {ted and left the grounds during the day and night. Whether one carried a negotiator to s rendezvous with the kidnaper was not made known. Indi- cations last night were no further contact with the kidnaper had been made. Potential Emissary Noncommittal. Paul Sceva, Rainier National Park Co. manager who frequently has been | mentioned as & representative of the Mattson family, left the home last/ night with no encouraging word. “T don't know of anything encourag- ing,” he said. “I hope the case will be over soon, but I can’t say it will be | at any particular time.” Dr. Mattson, his son William and his daughter Muriel made separate | trips away from the home during the evening, each returning after a short ; time. A Seattle automobile brought | two unidentified couples to the house | in midevening. A middle-aged Ta- coma man and woman joined them nside. At San Francisco, Police Lieut. James Malloy said a man under the name of William Sydney Blair, 50, being questioned after he acted pe- culiarly, confessed a small bank rob- bery and admitted he was in Ta- coma the night young Mattson was abducted. At Spencer, Iowa, Police Chief R. A. Peterson announced he was hold- ing a bearded, bushy-haired man who told officers “gangsters mistreated me at Tacoma” and mentioned “a good- looking little boy wrapped up in & sheet.” 52,300 Idle 20 GENERAL MOTORS UNITS AFFECTED BY STRIKES. By the Associated Press, The dismissal of part of the em- ployes of the Ternstedt Manufactur- ing Co. at Detroit and the Fisher Lum- ber Co. at Memphis, Tenn., increased to 20 the number of General Motors | units affected by strikes today and raised to 52,300 the number of idle employes of the corporation.

Iron Age said there was “at the moment” no fear that operating rates in the steel industry would be re- duced materially because of automo- tive strikes. There was a good de- mand from other fabricators, the magazine said. United Automobile Workers or- ganized a road patrol at Anderson, Ind, to halt truck shipments from the strike-bound Delco-Remy and Guide lamp plants there. Both firms are affiliated with General Motors. MARTIN ISSUES STATEMENT. Union Head Sees National Agreement as Solution, DETROIT, January 6 (#).—Homer Martin, president of the United Auto- mobile Workers of America, sponsoring strikes which have closed nearly & score of General Motors Corp. auto- motive plants, said today that “only through the effective medium of a na- tional agreement can dictatorship by management be avoided.” His statement, asserting that a closed union shop “is not one of our demands,” came a few hours after Alfred P. Sloan, jr., president of General Motors, arrived in Detroit and conferred with other corporation officials. Martin said that Federal labor con- ciliators have not arranged any con- ference for the union heads with General Motors officials and that there seemed “very little prospect” of such a meeting, although James F. Dewey of the Department of Labor had asked union leaders to hold themselves in readiness for it. General Motors offices described Sloan’s visit as of a routine nature. Answers Sloan’s Statement. ‘The union president at a press con- ference issued his statement in answer to one by Sloan which declared no “union or any labor dictator will dom- inate the plants of General Motors. Martin quoted William 8. Knud- sen, executive vice president of Gen- eral Motors, as saying average wages rates for all the corporation’s workers ‘were 78.6 cents an hour, and Sloan as stating 40 hours was the standard work week. The union head com- mented: “We can readily understand the impossibility of the General Motors employe, with an average family, pur- chasing even the lowest priced car produced by the corporation. This is a reflection on the industry which de- pends largely upon the average work- man for the sale of its product.” 7,000 Workers Laid Off. The effects of the strikes were felt directly in a Detroit General Motors branch for the first time with the Ternstedt Manufacturing Co.'s an- nouncement that 7,000 of its 12.000 employes were laid off. This division manufactures automobile hardware. ‘When Sloan left New York last night he was quoted as saying: “Let them (the union) pull the workers out. That's the only way I know to find how strong the union is. Nobody knows how many of our em- ployes belong to the union. We don't know. They don’t know. Nobody knows.” Position Is Set Forth. ‘The corporation’s president said his statement that “no one union” would bargaining agency of General Motors workers sets forth “our position clearly and unmistakably.” Three United States Labor Depart- ment conciliators were in Detroit, seeking to arrange a conference be- tween high executives of General Motors and leaders of the union. dent, said he had assured the con- ciliators—Dewey, Edward C. McDonald and John E. O'Connor—that the unions would co-operate with them. It was not known whether the con- ciliators had contacted corporation officials, but a reliable source said they had not at an early hour today. The automobile labor _ situation was discussed in _two sessions in ufacturing parts and other materials for the automobile industry were idle because the market for their products has been reduced by the General Mo- tors strikes and red operations. 66 SALVE for LIQUID_TABLETS COLDS B 35¢, T0c, 25¢ be recognized as the sole collective | * Homer 8.

She said a mistake in a report transmitted to her from Con- | cilator Dewey was responsible. One of the meetings at which the Labor Secretary and the President dis- cussed the General Motors crisis wi the regular gathering of the cabinet. In answer to a query, Miss Perkins said it would be only “spectacular” to attempt to arrange a conference now in her office between Sloan and John L. Lewis, whose Committee for Indus- trial Organization is aiding the United Automobile Workers in their en-' deavors to negotiate with General Motors. Such a step, Miss Perkins said, might | be practical sometime later. Referring to public statements {s- sued by union and C. I. O. leaders and General Motors executives, the Secre- tary said: “The exchange of letters in a family | quarrel seldom does any good—does | ! it?—even if there is 2 certain satisfac- | | tion 1n putting down your feelings in | black and white.” Martin Claims Support. Martin, head of a U. A. W. A. strat- egy board empowered to declare a | general strike against the corporation's 69 domestic plants to obtain the union’s objectives, said a ‘“general | stoppage of General Motors is under | way.” Although the U. A. W. A. has been suspended from the American Federa- tion of Labor for affiliating with the C. I. O, Martin said the Detroit and Wayne County Federation of Labor has pledged its support in the union's dispute with General Motors. The youthful union head declared | that its legal counsel would seek the impeachment and disbarment of Cir- cuit Judge Edward D. Black, who| | ssued an injunction against “sit-down” | | strikers in two Fisher Body plants at | Flint, Mich. Martin revealed—and the jurist ad- mitted—that Black owned stock in| General Motors. Martin said the judge held $219.000 worth of stock; | Judge Black said he held “some.” Michigan Law Cited. Accusing Black of being interested n the proceedings himself, Martin said “such reprehensible conduct cannot go unchallenged.” The union's attorney, | Larry 8. Davidow, said a Michigan law prevents a judge from presiding in a case “in which he is a party or in which he is interested.” Ralph E. Gault, member of the Flint law firm which obtained the in- Jjunction for General Motors, said the suggestion that the judge might be in- terested was “absurd™ and that such stock ownership made no difference. No attempt has been made to eject the “sit-down” in the Flint factories despite the injunction issued last Saturday. Notice has been served on Martin and | two union vice presidents as a possible : forerunner to contempt citations. Strikers who sat down at the Chev- rolet assembly plant in Janesville, Wis., yesterday evacuated the building | 1ast night after company officials promised them that no attempt would | be made to operate it until the other General Motors strikes are settled. St. Louls*Views Conflict. After Delmond Garcy, secretary of | the 8t. Louis local of the U. A. W.

Two Representatives of opposite parties attacked the political spoils system today, perticularly the ap- pointment of postmasters. Chairman Ramspeck of the House Civil Service Committee announced he would renew immediately efforts to place all postmasters under the civil service. Representative Maas, Republican, of Minnesota proposed reorganization of the entire Post Office Department to make it “a career service from top to bottom,” and said he would introduce another bill to apply civil service re- quirements to all Government em- ployes below cabinet rank. Ramspeck today reintroduced his bill to bring the first, second and third class postmasters under civil service. It is identical with the measure voted on in the closing hours of the last ses- sion when it came up under suspension of the rules and received 205 votes, with 112 against it, thus failing to obtain the necessary two-thirds by a small margin, The bill provides that incumbent | postmasters may be reappointed®by the | Postmaster General if they pass a non- competitive examination. If the in- cumbent is not reappointed the vacancy | may be filled by the promotion of a civil service employe. If no such per- | son is qualified, in the opinion of the | Postmaster General, an open competi- tive examination is to be held. Ramspeck announced that the bill | will be the first order of business in the | Civic Service Committee. Maas said the bill he is drafting would abolish the office of Postmaster General, and substitute for the Post | Office Department a Government- | owned corporation headed by a general manager who would not be a memher‘ of the President’s cabinet. The general manager, to be ap-| pointed by the President with Senate | confirmation to a 17-year term, would | be removable only by impeachment. | He would work with & board of 15 di- | rectors, elected by Congress, who | would hold office six years. Local postal stations would be in | charge of “local managers” subject to clvil service requirements, instead of | postmasters. Other Dinners 65c and 75¢ 18th & Columbis Rd.
