said:
"I received requests from local
authorities, prominent citizens,
the chamber of commerce and the
owners of the plant to intervene.
It was reported that the sheriff
was not protecting the men who
are working and permitted the
strikers to trespass on the limited,
parking space on the .company's
property rn an effort to hinder
the workers from entering the
plant and to block the highway
adjacent to the plant."
Warns Local Officers
Governor Martin said he had
warned the state police to keep
the highway open and had warn
ed the sheriff that he expected
him to maintain law and order.

to function adequately I am pre
pared to take further action If
necessary."

No Settlement Is
Seen by Official
PORTLAND, Sept. 24 - (JF) -George
M. Harrison, youthful vice
president of the AFL and chair
man of William Green's committee
to bring AFL-CIO peace, said here
today the committee had "found
no disposition on the part of the
CIO to effect a settlement."
Harrison, en route to an AFL
convention at Denver October 14,
refused to "hazard a guess" as to
the outcome of the AFL-CIO jur
isdictional struggle.
"There will undoubtedly be
some basis found for unifying the
labor movement," he added. "In
general, however, I don't think
there is any question but that the
result will be a victory for the
principles of the AFL, for the fed
eration is run along democratic
lines, while the CIO is a one-man
organization, dominated by Lewis
and run as a dictatorship."
Harrison, who is president of
the brotherhood of railway clerks!
conferred with railroad men here
today, but said the meetings were
"without special significance."
He sought the reactions of rail
way workers to proposals for a
six-hour day and a federal system
of unemployment insurance. The
shorter day, he said, was proposed
to reduce the number of unem
ployed in the industry, estimated
at 600,000.

Boimtv on Silver
May End Dec. 31
WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.-(iiP)-How
much the treasury will pay
for domestically-mined silver aft
er Dec. 31 may depend in part on
the willingness of other nations to '
cooperate with this country effect
ing world stability of silver val
ues. President Roosevelt's proclama
tion fixing the price for domestic
silver at 77.57 cents an ounce will
expire at the end of this year, co- .
incident with expiration of the
London silver agreement.
. Treasury officials said today
continuance of the 77.57-cent do
mestic silver price and negotiation
of a new international silver un
derstanding are closely related
problems.
It is expected the treasury will
continue to pay some bounty price
for the product of domestic silver
mines, but authorities said the
amount may depend partially on
assurances regarding future world
silver prices.
The present domestic price is
about 3 S cents above the world
price.
