City Asks Pay for
Navy Center Service
The city will give standby fire
protection service to the Indus
trial Building company during
the period of construction of the
naval armory on Airport road,
but it will have to pay a fee.
Two weeks ago, the council
denied the application after it
had been stoutly opposed by Al
derman Dan J. Fry.
Monday night the company
sent in a letter asking for re
consideration, and Alderman
Maple moved for reconsidera
tion. "I am still opposed to it," Fry
declared. "I want to give them
protection, but I want them to
pay for the protection, not just
if and when they have a fire."
On motion of Alderman Rob
ert DeArmond the council voted
to give the protection for a fee
to be determined and made ret
roactive. '

Maritime Strike
Up to Congress
Washington, Sept. 28 lP)
Chairman Hartley (R., N. J.)
of the house labor committee
said today he favors a special
session of congress to deal with
problems of the west coast long
shoremen's strike if it can't be
settled otherwise.
Hartley told a news confer
ence that President Truman has
exhausted all routine provisions
of the Taft-Hartley labor law
for patching up the 26-day dock
controversy. Hartley is co-au
thor of that law.
The only thing possible now,
Hartley said is a report to con
gress with a request for addi
tional legislative action.
He also recommended that
Mr. Truman appoint fact-finding
boards under the labor law to
inquire into the 25-day oil in
dustry strike on the west coast
as well as a threatened nation
wide strike of some railroad
workers.
Reviewing the past year's his
tory of the Taft-Hartley law, he
said he believes organized la
bor Is "making its greatest mis
take" in opposing members of
congress who voted for the law.
He predicted labor is "going
down to ignominous" defeat in
the November elections.
"Purge campaigns are rare
ly successful," he said.
Hartley is not running for
re-election.
