Crippling Strike
Of Oil Men Looms
A scheduled midnight strike by
some 25J10II Gulf Coast oil-workers
appears certain today unless tin
federal government intervenes.
Negotiations between union and
industry representatives are in pro-
gress at Houston, Beaumont and
l'prt Arthur but they have slowed
almost to a standstill. The strike,
besides throwing the 25,000 Texanx
out of work, will affect many
thousands more ;.t refining comp-
anies in this state and throughout
the .nation. The union men are
members of United Oilworkers
(CIO).
According to plans formed be-
fore March .'10 when an earlier
strike deadline was postponed, the
shutdown of the plants will take
from 24 to 72 hours dependim; upon
the size and complexity. The strike
will af-fect both Crown and Sinclair
refining companies in Houston, the
Magnolia Refining Company in
Beaumont and the Texas Company
and Gulf Company plants in Port
Arthur umong others in Texas.
The workers are asking for 25
cent increases in pay to match
their average pay of from two
dollars to two dollars and 10 cents
per hour. Several companies offered
the union nearly 10 cents per hour
pay hikes but this was turned
down.
Longhorns Climb
Higher In Lead
The Texas Longhorns climbed
two a.id a half gr.mei ahead of
the Southwest Conference baseball
pack yesterday with their (> to :>
win over Southern Methodist in
the only game played.
The win gave Texas a 7 r,nd 2
conference record. It came near
to putting a period to every other
team's conference title hopes.
Texas A & M, mow sole owner of
third place due to the SMU loss,
Baylor play at W;.~o today while
Rice keeps i non-conference date
with Ellington Air Force Base at
Houston.
The Aggies need a win at Waco
to keep any real chance for the
championship, or a share of it.

The Snake River is at its highest
