HALIFAX, Oct. 5--(CP)—Load- goods aboard waiting frelghtershere proceeded rapidly tonight as more troops poured in to take the place of 400 striking freight handlers and more than 1000 stcvedores idle in symp- athy with the strlkers or from oth- er 621N395. By tonight the number of troops had swelled w approxi- mately l.000, with more to come. Meanwhile, there was no indica- tion whgn the deadlock would be broken as daylong meetings of freight haildiers with their Union officials and regional federal labor concillzltor HR. Pettigrove failed to bring any decision. George Home. President Halifax Local, In- ternational Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks and Freight Handlers, said he had asked the men to return to work ii a Roynl Commission was appointed to njud. icatc the case, but they refused. The freight handlers have been on strike since last Friday in dis- satisfaction with a 1011i‘ cents an hour wage increase granted them by the National War Labor Board. They had asked a boost from 52

st ships and replacing the

to '75 cents an hour.

The situation behind the sieve- dore tie-up remained obscure to- night. Some 100 walked out yes- terday afternoon when the troops were moved in to unload freight from waiting trains.

This morning others who had worked yesterday on other ships stowing cargo placed in the sheds before the freight handlers strike failed to appear for work. Howev- er, this may have been because there was no more freight in the

forces of R. A. F. and R. C. A. F. bombers punched a; the big Ger- man industriul city of Frankfurt last night, leaving it torn and shaken by the second raid in 12 hours-its heaviest of the war-- while R. A. F. planes also raided five other Nazi industrial centres.

Frankfurt and Ludwigshuvcn were the only cities mentioned specifically in the Air Ministry 16' rt of the nights operation, which also spoke of the Rlllneland in general. but tile sorely best Naz- is in a communique filled in the details.
