COAST STRIKE
PEACE MOVES
RENEWED

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. %
UN.S0-With public demand
for settlement Of the maritime
walkout swelling to a new high
point as the strike frightened its
grip on water-borne commerce,
activity Of Federal mediators was
divided between striving for peace
and providing emergency relief
for strikebound Alaska and
Hawaii.
Assistant Secretary Of Labor
Edward F. McGrady conferred
with Secretary Perkins by tele-
phone yesterday, and announced
today he was again attempting to
reopen negotiations between oper-
ators of coastwiSe steam schooners
and the striking unions.
New Conference
He was to confer today with
representatives of the Steamship
Association of the Pacific.
When the strike of $1,000 Pa
cific Coast maritime workers was
called, the coastwise operators
were on the verge of an agree
ment with the unions.
McGrady saw the possibility Of
partial settlement, with the Strik-
ers returning to work for the
coast shippers, and continuing on
strike against the deep-sea oper-
atorS.
The advent Of the Christmas
shopping season resulted in in
creased pressure by merchants
and industrial heads for quick
settlement of the strike, which
has paralyzed maritime commerce
in the Pacific.
Alaskan Relief Planned
Seeking relief for Alaska, which
is faced with a food shortage, Col.
o. F. OhlSon, superintendent Of
the Government-owned Alaska
raildoad, was to confer again to-
day with McGrady and Thomas

owners on the securing Of ship

YARD Aide Recalls
Retirement Act

Just before the end Of the first
decade Of the present century a
quarterman at the Washington
Navy Yard initiated a campaign
there to bring about the enact
ment of a retirement law for Gov.
ernment employees.
Today that same man has not
only seen his efforts bear fruit
with the enactment of the law,
but he Is participating in the bene
fits which it provided.
He is Charles c. Love, Of 1019
D st. N. E., probably one of the
most active men who ever worked
in the local gun factory.
Mr.. Love learned his machinist
trade in Baltimore, beginning in
1881. He came to the Washing.
ton yard in 1892, and retired in
1929, at the age Of IS.
Relating briefly the history of
the campaign which brought
about the enactment Of the retire.
ment law, Mr.. Love said:
I'm about 1908, DIR. Edgar
Reed brought me some litera-
ture from a group interested in
retirement, which 1 only knew
as DIR. JOrdan's OrganizatiOn.'
81 became interested in the
proposition and felt that Gov
eminent employees should be
given benefits of that nature.
1 started collecting 10 cents a
week from all the men in the
yard in order to set up a fund
with which to put on our fight.
"After considerable work.
which included getting various
members Of Congress interested
in the idea and gaining the CO.
operation of groups from other
departments of the Govern
ment, we staged a big banquet
at the old Arcade and attracted
so much attention that we
finally set up a committee COM
posed of eight representatives
from each trade and clerical
group in the Government under
the American Federation Of
Labor.
with this group working
together we eventually got the
bill through Congress in 1920.
"It was a great victory for the
Government employees and I do
not begrudge a minutes work
and effort nor any of the money
put into the campaign"
