COURT OF APPEALS
GETS HEARST PLEA
Asked to Settle Question
Whether Tribunal May
Enjoin Senate.

The United States Court of Appeals
was~asked late yesterday by counsel
for william Randolph Hearst to settle
the question of whether Federal
court may enjoin the actions OF a
Senate committee.
A few weeks ago Chief Justice Al
fred A. Wheat of District Supreme
Court decided, in a suit brought by
Hearst against the Senate Lobby
Committee to prevent examination OF
messages taken from telegraph COM
pany files, that he had no jurisdiction
over the committee. The suit also
named the Federal Communications
Commission as a defendant. Chief
Justice Wheat dismissed the bill as
against the committee on the juris-
dictional ground, but merely denied
9 preliminary injunction against the
commission. He stated that restrain
ing order would be futile since the
acts complained of had ceased.
This ruling left Hearst free to press
for a permanent injunction against
the F. C. c.
Instead, however, Attorney Elisha
Hanson yesterday asked the higher
court to grant special appeal and
noted a general appeal to meet the
contingency of refusal.
1t is difficult to tell whether Chief
Justice Wheat's ruling was an inter-
locutory or final order, he asserted.
If final, he continued, Hearst would
be put in the position of proceeding
In the District Supreme Court against
one set of defendants and in the Court
OF Appeals against another at the
same time and in the same action.
In either case the question at issue
Is whether Chief Justice Wheat was
correct in holding that he was with
out jurisdiction over the committee,
Hanson declared,

Baltimore Longshoremen
Ballot on Strike Today

BALTIMORE, Dec. 10 Il N.S.0
A strike vote of longshoremens s
locals got underway here today,
with results to be known before
midnight, following mixup last
night in which President Joseph
Ryan, of New York, of the Inter
national LongShoremen's Union
was prevented from making a
scheduled speech and forced to
flee the city to escape possible
violence.
The informal decision yesterday
by rank-and-file longshoremen to
join seamen in the current mari
time strike brought to total Of
more than 5000 the number Of
men now participating here in
the walkout.
Rumors that Ryan "had tricked
his men" resulted in the forma-
ton outside st. Stanislaus Hall
of a crowd of several thousand
strikers. Fearful of violence, the
halls doors we're locked. Ignor-
ant of developments, Ryan walked
to the hall, and there was nearly
mobbed when someone in the
throng recognized him.
With the crowd closing in on
him and his bodyguard, Ryan was
saved from possible harm by
police.

CLOSER UNION
WITHU. ).

LONDON, Dec. 10 G.N.S).
Great Britain will seek closer CO.
operation with the United States
in Far Eastern affairs as a result
Of Japan's reported military
understanding with Germany, it
was learned in reliable British
quarters.
British officials are dismayed at
Japan's action in aligning herself
with the fascist powers of Europe.
The grouping Of japan, Ger
many and Italy into a virtual
single bloc in defense of common
interests had the British govern
ment seriously concerned over it's
ability to protect its own interests
and prestige in foreign affairs.
With Italy threatening British
interests in the Mediterranean,
Japan threatening British in
terestS in China, and Germany'S
designs in Eastern Europe threat
ening the general peace Of the Old
World, Britain is anxious to
strengthen its own position by
counting American friendship and
cooperation.
Thus, word is being given out
in British quarters that it is only
logical that alignment of the mill
tarist powers should bring the
English-speaking nations closer to-
gether in defense Of their own
ideals and interests.
In accord with this policy,
Britain intends to maintain a close
contact with Washington and to
consult the American Govern
ment frequently, especially re,
garding Pacific problems.
Britain is not Disgusting its an
noyance with Japan for entering
a military understanding with
Germany.
Japan is warned in the British
press that this act will cost the
Nippon empire the chance of any
Anglo-JapaneSe rapproachment
and that it further jeopardizeS the
cause of world peace.

Ship Strike Barrier

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10
Neutrality-suspicious. Of three
striking maritime unions on the
Pacific Coast and shippers contin-
ued to make steady strides today
toward a complete peace pact.
Only the subject of working con-
ditions remained to be ironed out
for the sailors union Of the Pa
cific and marine firemen, oilers,
wipers and water tenders.
Harry Lundeberg, head Of the
sailors union, said he expected
"everything would be cleaned up"
between the sailors and shippers
during the weekend.
Lundeberg was to confer again
today with a group Of port cap
tains to discuss sailors working
conditions.
Although willing to concede a
working day Of eight hours in IL
on freighters, owners were re-
ported to be holding out for nine
hours in 13 on passenger ships.
The conditions under discussion
include the questions of holidays,
watches at sea and other details
of shipboard duty.
A complete peace pact between
shippers and marine firemen also
was expected during the weekend.
Although dispatches from New
York quoted Joseph Curran, leader
of the inSurgent Seamen'S East
Coast strike, as saying he had been
informed by telephone, that West
Coast shipowners and unlicensed
personnel had reached an agree
ment, a joint statement issued
here by spokesmen for both sides
denied that negotiations were
complete.
However, all major issues have
been settled by the unlicensed sea-
mems groups and shipowners.
They previously had reached
agreement on the question of in,
creased pay, cash overtime and re-
stricted union control Of hiring
halls.
Meanwhile, representatives of
the marine cooks and stewards
union conferred with shippers on
how many hours shall constitute
a working day.
