4 AIRUNIT PROBERS TASK PROLONGED Senate Group Won’t Dis- solve Until It Is Satisfied With Bureau Shift. The Special Senate Subcommittee headed by Senator Copeland of New York, which for nearly two years has been investigating the Bureau of Air Commerce and civil aviation, will not wind up its affairs until it is satisfied that the reorganized Bureau of Air Commerce is functioning properly, it was learned today tee is to be continued ganization possibly for as it was said. While her active investigation is con- templated at the present time, it was said, the members will act as ‘“‘ob- servers” and will be in a position to resume investigations or make fur- ther recommendations at any time. Two Reports Presented. The Copeland committee has filed two reports with the Senate.

Williston ness men had agreed to underwrite the cost of a recall movement, which, he said, would start on April 1 if the Governor refuses to act. The three-month tenure required by law »fore & Governor can be recalled expire on that date. Approxi- mately 400000 signatures would be required on petitions for a recall elec- tion v Councilman John C.

The vote to deny | was unanimous. Later, Deputy Police Supt. Louis L.

Another Raid Planned. There were reports that at least one other raid on a striker-occupied plant was planned by police today. | Mayor Frank Couzens declared the the application | | where the police had reason to believe | non-employes were among the occu- pants. He expressed dc 1bt the work- ers would follow a leadership that would call a city-wide automotive | strike, and sald that a strike of work- | ers who were just emerging from the depression would be “inhuman.” Nevertheless, handbills were dis- tributed calling upon union members to “show labor’s strength” in the | Cadillac Square demonstration tomor= | row. The handbills bore headlines which Smp polwe strike-breaking and “Protect the right to | The U. A. W. also disclosed the or- “minute men” among members, along military lines, with the avowed purpose of “protecting strikers and the right to strike.” | Union to Take action. A telegram from U. A. W. officers to 29 Detroit locals said that “because of a grave situation created by police and the mayor in attacking the right of strikers throughout the city, the international officers have decided to take decisive steps.” The telegram said “a general strike may be necessary” and instructed local officers to “appoint special strike com- | mittees,” but to “take no strike action until instructed” by Martin. Leaders of the Committee for In- dustrial Organization, with which the | U. A. W. is affiliated, were reported to be ready again to propose a truce be- tween the strikers and the Chrysler Corp., under the terms of which the corporation would be asked to agree | In writing not to negotiate with any bargaining agency other than the U. ‘ A. W. except with the approval of Gov. Frank Murphy. Since Wednesday, 6,000 strikers oc- cupying eight Chrysler plants have been in violation of a court injunc- tion, but Sheriff Wilcox gave no in- dication that he was preparing to at- tempt the service of writs calling for the arrest of the strikers. Deputies’ Aid Offered. ‘The Michigan Sheriff’s Association, through Jerome S. Borden of Kala- mazoo, secretary, offered Sheriff Wil- cox the assistance of 1,000 deputies to eject the Chrysler strikers. Martin declared in a letter to Gov. Murphy today that Chrysler officials were ‘“stalling” in their conferences with the U. A. W., and that the com- pany’s conferees “went into the con- ferences with strict instructions to say nothing "but ‘No, no, no’” to union proposals for settlement. He said the negotiations were “farci- cal from the beginning” and that the company met with the union “only so it could publicly maintain the posi- tion that it is always willing to meet with representatives of its employes.” “Time after time the union has presented proposals, first to avert the strike and then to settle it, but on every occasion the corporation’s answer has been ‘mo’” he said. “The strike was precipitated be- cause of the corporation’s refusal to said a group of 17 busi- | | sole collective barg | a majori | citizens who voted for him, abide by the Wagner law, which gives Prize Winners in Corcoran Biennial Show ng rights upon “This refused t its propor ’ ba the company do, despite the tional representation plan is opposed to all principles of democracy.

Roosevel be President only for the 27 w opponent, Alfred \1 jent No. 2 for \n( 16,681, 913 for him. | ‘\nu con see how et it is the only re company has e the union.” He also said that K T. Keller, pres- | ident of Chrysler, “was elected by a majority of the stockholders, and yet | he speaks for all of them.” | The purpose of the corporation’s | proportional representation plan, Mar- | tin wrote, “is to destroy the union and thus make real collective bargaining | impossible.” Defending sit-down strikes, he told"| the Governor lhd[ me type of strike has been * ree of destruc- | 1 what is more im- single life has been absurd this is concrete pro- | er laid before portant, lost.” The sit-down, he said, has prevented the use of “time-worn, strike-breaking tactics of corporations.” “If it is a good thing, and we be- lieve it is, for the workers to obey the law, then it is only just and fair | to expect the corporation also to obey the law,” he said, and urged the Gov- | ernor to “give the workers a square deal and avoid needless human suffer- ing and bloodshed by demanding that the corporation likewise abide by the law.” Martin sat in on the conference with Chrysler representatives this morning. Martin and others in the U. A. W. inner circle criticised the eviction raids, in which several were injured and scores arrested. None of the raided places were related to the auto- mobile industry, but Martin said he regarded them as “a build-up for an attack on the automobile union sit- downs.” Gov. Murphy paused in efforts to bring the Chrysler disputants to- | gether to make a public plea yesterday for temperate attitudes on both sides. | He said pointedly it was “the clear | duty of all to comply” with a circuit | court, order for evacuation of the eight | Chrysler factories held by some 6,000 | strikers. | He called for “an intelligent obedi- | ence to duly constituted authority,” | but warned against “blind adherence | to a legalistic philosophy.” | The Governor addressed a Catholic men’s group, then resumed his joint study of the Chrysler deadlock with James F. Dewey, Federal labor con- ciliator. Miss Perkins Busy. Efforts to bring peace in that dis- pute were pushed in New York and Washington, also. Secretary of Labor Perkins was in New York, attempt- ing to bring together Walter P. Chrys- ler and John L. Lewis, head of the C. I. O. She talked to both indi- vidually, and also with Murphy and Dewey and her aides in Washington. ‘What the scope of a “general strike” of the U. A. W. in tne city might be was undetermined. Martin said, however, that General Motors workers, because of a recent final agreement in that extended controversy, would stage a brief walkout as a “demonstra- tion.” The city has about¢ 2,200 plants re- lated to the auto industry, and they employ, by conservative estimate, some 200,000 persons. U. A. W. leaders claim they could completely tie up the industry in Detroit. Thé evictions which led to Murnns‘ “general strike” threats were the first | in Detroit’s recent strike history.

A former newspaper reporter, Du Bois is widely known not only as an artist but as a journalistic art critic. Many of his paintings are satirical thrusts at contemporary life. Ha was awarded the Harris silver medal and $500 at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1930. His work is displayed in the Metropolitan Museur- in New York, the Phillips Memorial Gallery here and in other collections. “Medi- tation” is typical of the rich and vivid color work found in his paintings.
