"Work will be resumed and
the dispute negotiated if the
present terms are adherred to."

The stoppage came upon the
heels of a dispute over dispatch
ing of workmen, union officials
state. A contract was negotiated
August 30, and signed by both
parties. The company now wants
a change in the contract, and is
insisting upon the union men
working under the new proposed
change rather than according
to contract.
This is uniawiui, according to
tii Tail-Hartley Act and by all
union rules, the men insist. They
are willing to resume work and
negotiate, but the resumption
must be made uncu r terms of the
present contract, any change to
be negotiated laR r.
Alvin Peterson, from the off
ice of Mediation and Concilia
tion Service, Seattle, lias been
requested by union officials to
step into the picture here.
Union officers state that all
terms oi me contract have been
complied with including the
■oiler to negotiate within the 48
hour period after filing notice
of their grievance. Mr. McKay,
it is stated, failed to comply
with a request by mail and by
telephone to the request for a
meeting.
Another special meeting is
called lor tonight at the Union

Legion Convention
By Don Whitehead
Miami, Fia. — Defense Sec
retary Rob rt A. Lovett gravely
warm d the nation today the
United States does not yet have
the fantastic atomic weapons
which can win a quick, easy or
magic victory in war.
In his first puoiic address
since becoming defense chief,
Lovett told the American Le
gion convention:
"The plain fac.i is ihai, unlit
new weapons and new military
applications of atomic energy
have proved their reliability and
are available for field use, our
national safety in tne face of
attack will have to depend upon
improved orthodox weapons in
ample quantity and with suffi
cient trained and equipped
ground, naval and air forces to
use them effectively."
Bluntly, Lovett declared "ex
aggerated hopes . . . are being
pinned on the availability of
new super-weapons for fighting
and winning wars.’’
He said suen over-optimism
can lea dto wishful thinking
"which through disillusionment
can bring pessimism and des
pair.’’
Lovett spoke to the Legion
naires as a small but power
packed hurricane moved slowly
northward in the Caribbean Sea
toward this playground city.
The storm threat added the
only note of anxiety to the holi
ua> spun among me c>u,uuu or
more Legionnaires and mem
bers of their families gathered
here from all parts of the na
tion.
Visitors wore assured that
even if the storm sweeps this
area—which isn't a certainty—
they will be safe in the well
built hotels and will have plenty
of warning oi the storm’s ap
proach.
