PEACE MOVES.
FAIL TODAY IN
MARINE STRIKE
Federal Pressure to End
Situation Is Seen at
Washington

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. g.
(UP).-The Pacific Coast mari
time strike dealt new blows to
western industry today as peace
moves broke down.
The steam schooner operators,
one group of shipowners against
whom a strike of 100000 marine
unionists is directed, refused to
consider new conferences with the
union leaders.
Assistant Secretary of Labor
Edward F. McGrady attempted to
arrange parleys between the union
and the schoonermen in the belief
re could drive wedge in the dead
lock over contract revisions.
The strike claimed new groups
of workers affiliated and depen-
dent upon the shipping industry
which is at q complete standstilI
from Alaska to San Diego-witf
the exception of Vancouver, B. c
Approximately $4,000 men were
believed out Of work as a result
of new shutdowns.
Manufacturing plants and fac,
tories in large western industrial
centers were forced to shut theii
doors due to the shipping stagna'
ton.
More logging camps and mills
throughout the northwest and ir
northern California shut down be-
cause they lacked ocean outlets
for their slumer.

REALICNMENT

GETS IMPETUS
Conservative Democra tic
Bloc Developing Among
Statesmen
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-CUP)-
The avalanche of votes which car
ried President Roosevelt into a
second term last night was jar
ring the traditional American po-
litical structure TO its founda-
tons.
A movement toward party re-
alignment plainly evident in the
United States since 1912 probab-
ly will make more progress in the
next four years than in the "a
preceding.
The immediate question arous-
ed by the extraordinary vote OF
confidence rendered the New Deal
and notably confronting big bus
ines, is whether the. president in
his second term will continue
what he has called his left OF
center" policies or move to more
radical ground.
But the strictly political conse-
auences most likely to flow from
the 1886 election involve the fu-
ture party allegiance of the con-
servative Democratic leaders who
walked out on the New Deal and
those others who hesitated to bolt
but refused more than reluctant
support to Mr.. Rooseveits re-
election campaign. =,
The Republican party has peer
reduced to a small and imp0ten'
minority in congress. Pennsylvan'
