reasonable'* a counter arbitration

Bluffs Street Railway company and
threw his 1.800 national guardsmen
Into a siege against the company's
trams. Tuesday was the third full
day under martial law.
Cochran demanded full arbitra-
tion. Labor accepted early Monday.
After an ignored deadline brought
Cochran's order to run the trams
off the street the company sub-
mitted a substitute proposal sub-
stantially the same as It presented
when the strike began last April 20.
"This la no answer to my request.”
the governor bluntly told the five
company directors who bore the
message. “For the present the
street cars stay In the barn.”
The governor however avoided
defining the proposal as “defiance"
to his peace program
He declined to comment on the
next step If the company refuses
to modify its program 8undav
night however he said if either
party declined his terms It would
be “responsible to the military au-
thorities .”
The company balked at even dis-
cussing a closed shop re-employ-
ment of 68 of Its 268 striking em-
ployes. or rescinding of new senior-
ity rules It charged the 68 men with
complicity In the violence and
claimed It owed a duty to protect
loyal employes in seniority prtvl-

WORK RELIEF
IS PROTESTED
Limit On Expendi t u r e •
Kills Usefulness
Claimed
WASHINGTON June 18. —UP)—
Protests against limiting expendi-
tures in the administration s work
relief drive to $1100 or $1300 per
worker were made Tuesday by
contractors and road builders. One
spokesman said “useful and per-
manent" projects would be outlaw-
ed by such s restriction.
The objections were raised as
state works progress administrators
met in regional conferences to
frame plans embracing small in-
expensive projects asked bv Presi-
dent Roosevelt Monday In s talk
in which he said “politics so far
as we are concerned is out."
Mr. Roosevelt told the state
directors at the White House that
they slvoukl make every effort to
place the unemployed in private
industrv even if projects started
through the $4000000000 work
relief fund had to be stopped.
The president was optimistic on
recovery prospects. After emphasiz-
ing that the great bulk of projects
selected must with some exceptions
te small and inexpensive to pro-
vide for the employment of 3.500000
he said:
“Of course we always will have
s certain number of unemployed
with us but nothing like the pres-
ent scale we hope. And this year.
I believe is going to be the begin-
ning of the picking up of the great-
er part of this unemployment slack
from which we have been suffer-
ing.”
Willard Chevalier a member of
the advisory council construction
kague and William P. McDonald
president of the American Road
Builders association protested
against the $1100 to $1200 per man
limit set by the president for most
Drojects. This expenditure would
Include wages materials equip-
ment and transportation.
