Stearns, arrived there by boat from San Francisco. -His father soon bought a store in Jackson ville and operated, a. packtrain between there and tidewater at Seottsburg.

Decontrolled Rents In Spotty Situation ' (Continued From Page One) asking the return of ceilings. The reai esiaie man on tne Doard made the motion. Several state leelslaturea have taken up decontrol bills. Such a bill passed In Florida, but the governor vetoed it last night. Texas legislators are battling on the Issue. Four stales have turned down decontrol bills Iowa, Ten nessee, North Carolina and Okla homa. Northwest Data Few figures are available on "home rule" decontrol, but these nationwide tendencies were noted: Decontrol movements tend to center in the South and South west. They occur most frequently In smaller communities. Indus trial New England and the fast growing Pacific Northwest show little inclination to drop ceilings. Reports from other tate In clude: Washington Seattle land lords are discussing a plan to offer leases until August, 1950, with rent boosts of 10 percent or $5 a month. Local housing expe diter says rents were up 48 per cent on properties decontrolled under 1948 rent act. One "minor" local recontrol move- i under way.

Strike Continues But Markets Operating (Continued From Page One) comprise the Roseburg Independ ent Meat Dealers Association. Carlson said he "charged the union" with an unfair labor prac tice in trying to "break down the employers' group" by approach ing individual market operators in an effort to persuade them to meet the union's terms. Carlson said the employers are united and "up and until last night" none had signed a con tract with the AFL Meatcutters Union. At issue in the contract dispute between the union and market operators are wages and hours. The meatcutters seek $75 for a 40-hour work week, while the em ployers have offered $72.50 for a 48-hour week. The employers' of fer was rejected by the- union yesterday. i Carlson Bidden To Appear S. W. Barker, representing the AFL Meatcutters Union, stated today that Carlson had been cited to appear before the Roseburg Central Labor Council to explain the employers' side in the cur rent meatcutters' strike. This is a customary practice, he said. The request -that he appear had been sent by registered mail with a return receipt. When he failed to heed the request, it was presumed he no longer rep resented the Roseburg Inde pendent Meat Dealers Associa tion and efforts were made' to sign individual market operators to the union contract, said Bark er. He explained pickets, have been placed at all butcher . shops and groceries with meat markets in connection that are "unfair." All markets not now being pick eted are not "unfair," he said. There are enough available mar kets and butcher shops in this area to meet all individuals' needs, Barker emphasized Unions Hold Conference The pickets are being recog nized bv people of allied crafts within the Roseburg Central La bor Council, Barker pointed out. Among these are the Retail Clerks International Association, the. Culinary Workers, and the Teamsters Union. Barger met this morning with representatives of other unions to discuss issues in the strike. At tending the meeting were Mrs. Helen Bowles of tne Culinary Workers, Edward J. Hawes, Re tail Clerks, and Marvin C. Mayo, Teamsters. Regarding bakery deliveries, : Barker pointed out that the Teamsters have contracted with Patterson's Bakery to handle all products after they leave the plant. To make "side door deliv eries," by selling to grocers at the plant, would be depriving teamster drivers of their liveli hood, as well as violating provi sions of the union contract. "We are quite willing to sit down with Mr. Carlson at any and all times he wishes to meet use," Barker said. - , t i Second Bomb Explosion Marks Visit Of Franco BARCELONA, Spain, June 3.

Track Atomic Plant Workers Vote To Walk Out (Continued From Page One) "negotiations have produced no results" and asked that the Com mittee be empowered to call a strike. Two Courses Open Two methods of government intervention may be used to prevent or delay the strike. President Truman is empow ered under the Taft-Hartley Act to seek an injunction to prohibit a strike during an 80-day arbi tration period. Such an Injuc tion was applied in a similar dispute between Carbide and an AFL union here more than a year ago. Another is procedure to settle strike threats in vital AEC oper ations proposed by a special com mission headed by former War Labor Board Chairman William Davis. Under this plan, a three-man panel appointed by the Presi dent would enter an atomic labor dispute only after all other means had failed. The contest ing parties would be obligated, once the panel intervened, to maintain the status quo for 30 da vs. the CIO employes are produc tion workers at the Gaseous Dif fusion Atomic Process Plant, a unit that cost about $500,000,000 to build in wartime.
