Two Unions Announce Tak- ing Ballots on Negotiat-
 ed Agreements

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Jan. 25.-Representatives of ship owners and employers meet today, supposedly to dis cuss resumption of normal shipping should the Pacific Coast maritime strike end suddenly.
 The spokesmen declined to be quoted but it is learned they are hopeful the present tie-up might end within a week.
 Anticipation is based on ex- pectation that the Interna- tional Longshoremens' Asso- citation, now the key union in the settlement, would call for a referendum on the question of terminating the strike which is now in the eighty eighth day.
 Freight Accepted
 All shipping companies are accepting freight subject to strike condition in all coast ports, it is said.
 A full coast committee of the ship owners also are to meet sometime today with the longshoremen and leaders are also attempting to negotiate a settlement with the checkers and clerks in their strike. E. F. Burke, of the Cooks and Stewards Union, said a feeler vote will be taken Thursday on the negotiated agreement.

FEDERAL JUDGE
 POLLOCK PASSES
 AWAY IN KANSAS
of Many Stormy Controversies, He Kept
 Right on with Opinions

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 25.-Judge John c. Pollock, of the Federal Dis- trict Court of Kansas, died early Sunday at his suburban home. He had been unconscious since Mon- day, January 18, suffering from a diabetic condition which was later complicated by an attack of pneu- monia. Survivors include his wi- dow, daughter and sister.
 Judge Pollock was for years a center of stormy controversies.
 Attempts to Impeach
 Twice there were attempts to im- peach him, although nothing came of them. He was frequently the sub ject of open criticisms which many judges would have considered in contempt of court.
 But Judge Pollock declined to dis cuss such charges and criticisms ex- cept to say that he would not ob- ject to any competent inquiry. When these did not develop he contented himself with taking the first op- portunity, in jury charges or state- ments from the bench, to reiterate the judicial blasts.
 He was especially outspoken in his resistance to trend which seemed, in his opinion, to be making a national police court" out of the district courts. As prohibitory laws came along he said
 We shall have to build bigger penitentiary if this keeps up," and added:
 Tt is the gravest mistake of our people to think that law can cor rect a folly and make the people better. It is more likely to arouse
