COAST STRIKE OFF
FOR "a HOURS
Unions Committee Delays
Call Affecting $1,000
Pending New Efforts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 29.-
Threat Of q coastwise maritime strike
involving 81 900 men was averted early
today for at least "24 hours by last
minute negotiations to reach new
working agreements between shipping
companies and seagoing unions.
The delay in calling a walkout was
decided upon by the joint Negotiating
Committee Of seven West Coast unions,
which had been empowered to call q
strike last midnight If agreement on
vital issues was not reached by then.
The extension presumably will con-
tinue operations until midnight to-
night, although the notice sent to other
coast ports by F. M. Kelley. secretary
of the Maritime Federation Of the
Pacific. said only the call was delayed
for "24 hours" Men were instructed
to continue working until o strike call
Is issued.
Encouraged by last minute negotia-
tions between unions and one Of three
shipping groups involved. Federal Con-
ciliator E. H. Fitzgerald predicted:
Probably there will not be any
strike"
The delay came as the tense situa-
ton threatened to involve maritime
workers on the East Coast. already
harried by . short-lived walk-out of
longshoremen against one shipping
company. A thousand left wing sea-
men meeting in New York last night
voted to Join Pacific union workers

The negotiating committees an
nouncement followed apparent, though
unannounced, agreement between the
Shipowners' Association OF the Pa
cif1c and the Marine Cooks and Stew
ards Union on q new working agree
ment.
Previously, the Sailors Union Of the
Pacific and the marine firemen an
nounced tentative agreements on new
year-long contracts had been reached
with the Shipowners' Association, rep
resenting 80 companies. They operate
coastwise freighters. the so-called
steam schooner trade.

Labor Secretary Edward F. McGrady

This latter group. headed by T. G.

marine unions that further negotia-
tions would be useless"
Plant retired early today after tell
ing newspaper men he considered 1t
impossible to get the scattered coast
committee Of shipowners together be-
fore usual business hours.
Unoficial observers believed any
action by the Joint Union Committee
toward a strike call probably would
be delayed until Plants committee
met again with union negotiators.

lines, third employer group In the

posals Of the International Long
