McGrady Will
Attack Hiring
Hall Issues
(By The Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13, —
Assistant Secretary of Labor
McGrady planned a new attack
on the crusial hiring hall issue,
in attempts to arrange a peace
conference between employers
and the strikers’ unions.
He charged before the Maritime
Commission that employers had
hired spies and tapped telephone
lines in efforts to discredit the
union movement.
He said he would present to
the shipowners a guarded propos
al of a control of waterfront
hiring hall, which both unions
and employers want to operate.
The award two years ago pro
vided for joint operation but the
shipowner charged that the un_
ions appropriated control.
McGrady said that if employ
ers indicated approval of his plan
he would attempt to arrange the
long delayed peace conference.
