of of of of of Pact Vote Waited The Pittsburgh Press, Saturday, April 25, 1970 11 Trucker Union Dispute Hints More Strife By STANLEY LEVEY Scripps-Howard Staff Writer ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. The American trucking industry appears headed for a long period of confusion that could produce widening labor strife. Frank Fitzs mmons' leadership of the Teamsters Union may well come under serious attack, touched off by dissident union groups refusing to accept the national contract he recently negotiated with trucking employers. Vote Slated Fitzsimmons, general vice president of the Teamsters, told the closing session of the United Auto Workers (UAW) convention yesterday announced that 450,000 truck drivers across the country would begin voting this week on a three-year, 29 per cent settlement reached several weeks ago.

He said the industry had agreed to negotiate for still higher rates if any segment of the industry settled for more. Fitzsimmons was hopeful that dissident union groups which have been staging wildcat strikes to win an agreement comparable with a nigher Chicago settlement would be satisfied by the compromise and return to work. However, other observers predicted the plan to reopen negotiations was an invitation for rejection by the union members. May Set Pattern The Chicago settlement was reached by an independent local of truck drivers and five Teamster locals with Chicago carting companies. It calls for wage increases of $1.65 an hour over three years (as compared with $1.10 an hour under the original Teamster national agreement) and is almost certain to set the pattern for the rest of the industry.

For Fitzsimmons, who is running the union while James R. Hoffa serves an eight-year sentence in federal prison for jury tampering, the outcome of this struggle could determine his future leadership role in the union. Three years ago, under similar circumstances Fitzsimmons used a higher Chicago agreement to obtain a matching national agreement. This year the dissidents appear to have taken the initiative away from him. May Bid For Leadership The union's convention meets next year for the first time since Hoffa went to prison March 7, 1967.

The expectation has been that with Hoffa still in jail Fitzsimmons might then make a a bid to take over the leadership in fact as well as practice. But other union officials are also interested in laying claim to the presidency--always provided that Hoffa is still behind bars. In any case, the unsettled trucking wage picture means uncertain service for an extended period and ultimately higher shipping costs for many sections of American business and industry. Authority Brushoffs Tied To Union Rules By ROGER The testing chairman for the Pittsburgh Human Relations union membership can pass a be respected for, membership. Ronald P.

Shiller, who also is yesterday in the case of two black Pittsburgh Housing Authority employes who allege they were either fired or coerced into resigning their jobs. Painter Fired Cherste Lee, an authority painter for six years, was fired last Sept. 3 for failure to report to work and failure to pay his union dues. He had been suspended earlier for an indefinite period. Joseph Weatherspoon, a janitor for nine years, charges he was suspended for his participation in an employe organization, then coerced into resigning in order to receive money due him.

Lee was vice chairman of the Better Working Conditions Committee, organized in November 1968 by black housing authority employes, seeking better grievance procedures and better jobs. "Excuse me," said Commissioner Stanley W. Arnheim, interrupting Shiller's testimoney. "I don't think I heard you correctly. Did you say it's possible for a man to flunk a membership exam and still have the union members accept "Yes," said Schiller.

Seeks Elaboration Seeking elaboration, Commissioner Roland L. Saunders asked: "Is it possible for a man to pass the test and be rejected by the union members?" "Yes," said Shiller. John D. Grice, an authority board member, said he had "heard" Lee had been told he would have to pay his back dues, re-apply for union membership, take a new test and pay initiation fees again. These, said Lee's attorney, John W.

Ford, were conditions State Viet Pay Near $16 Million Press Washington Bureau HARRISBURG State bonuses to Vietnam veterans are being processed at the rate of 1,600 a month, according to the director of the Vietnam Conflict Veterans Compensation Bureau. New bonus applications are coming in at the rate of 1,200 a month, Eugene Rutherford said. He predicted that by the end of this month 48,700 claims, totaling about $16 million, will have been paid. About $12 million of the original $28 million bonus bond issue remains, according to Rutherford. Pennsylvania voters will be asked to approve an additional $27 million bonus bond issue in the May 19 primary.

White House, Draft Board Bombs Bared Packages Mailed From Seattle; U.

S. Still Probing SEATTLE (UPI) Two government officials today confirmed a report that a bomb, mailed from Seattle to the White House, was detected and deactivated about three weeks ago. A second bomb, also mailed from here, was intercepted at national Selective Service headquarters in Washington. "We can't put out any details," said Elmer Moore, special agent in charge of the Seattle office of the Secret Service. "The case is still under investigation." Ralph Anderson, U.S.

postal inspector in charge here, said he had seen a picture of the first bomb which, he said, appeared to have been fashioned from railroad fuse material. "It appears the second one was different," he said. "I'm not sure about it. We do have a joint investigation going on with the Secret Service." Sen. Henry M.

Jackson, D. from his home in nearby Everett, said he had been aware of the bomb being sent to the White House about three weeks ago. Secret Service officials here declined to say if the bomb detection occurred before or after the package was delivered to the White House. Seattle itself has had 62 bombings in the past 16 months including the $290,000 dynamiting of the University of Washington administration building June 29, 1969. Police Seek Pair Who Bilked Man Used 'Pigeon Drop' To Get $10,742 Police are seeking a young couple who used a ruse known as the "pigeon drop" to bilk an Oakland man out of $10,742.

Officers said Carl Rosenfeld, 76. of 3891 Bigelow reported the loss yesterday. The incident occurred at Smithfield Street and Boulevard of the Allies, downtown. The man dropped an envelope, supposedly by accident, and continued on without seeming to notice the loss. The woman picked up the envelope, opened it and showed Rosenfeld, who was standing nearby, the contents ostensibly a large sum of money.

She offered to share it with Rosenfeld, stipulating that Rosenfeld must put up his savings as a token of good faith. Rosenfeld could then hold the envelope, she said. Rosenfeld agreed and drew the money out of his savings account. The woman got the money. Rosenfeld got the envelope.

All it contained was paper.
