Akron Rubber Strike Forces Workers Back, Government Intervenes
United Rubber Workers at General Tire & Rubber Co in Akron voted to return to work after a five day stoppage that idled about 51,500 workers in major rubber plants. President Roosevelt said the government will take necessary steps if the dispute is not settled by noon. War Labor Board certified the strike, which protests a wage ruling for rail and related industries. The stoppage extended to Buffalo and La Crosse, while Jamestown ball bearing workers walked out unauthorized.

Senators Seek Ban On War Fund Use
The Senate Appropriations Committee moved to bar Roosevelt from using emergency war funds to finance agencies such as the National Resources Planning Board and the Farm Security Administration. The measure would restrict use of the fund for any agency with Congress-approved or budget-claimed appropriations, exempting War and Navy Departments and emergencies not presented to Congress. Senators argued the rule restores congressional control over federal spending as debate on an urgent deficiency bill continues.
