SAN FRANCISCO. January So
Maritime union leaders called tonight
for an end to the costly 93-day West
Coast shipping tie-up, ordering set
tlement vote and recommending ac-
ceptance OF tentative agreements.
Approval by a majority of the 40
900 strikers was regarded as fore
gone conclusion since union leaders
conceded the rank and file was for
settlement and that nothing could
change the sentiment.
However, two of the seven unions
involved the cooks and stewards and
the marine firemen. lacked completed
tentative agreements and made prepa-
rations to submit alternative ballots
to their memberships.
Loss Exceeds S65o.000, 900.
A long meeting of the Join. Strike
Policy Committee started the 93-day
tie-up on its way into history as busi-
ness interests estimated the all-around
loss at more than $3.50. 100000.
The Negotiating Committee adopted
q resolution ordering the vote, while
separate arrangements were worked
out for the cooks and stewards and
the marine firemen. The strike lead
ers then adjourned without making
any formal statement.
Individual leaders reported the COM
mittee decided to ask for union-by-
union results on the voting Wednesday
noon, when a date would be set for the
, return to work Observers said this
might be Thursday.
Firemen Dissatisfied.
Dissatisfied with % of the SO clauses
in their tentative agreement, the mari
time firemen decided to vote primarily
on straight acceptance or rejection
and then on the question Of returning
to work on the basis of "accepta BILE
clauses and putting the others to arDi-
tration.
Cooks and stewards. seeking An
eight-hour day, but facing employer
demands for nine hours on passenger
ships, made ready to ballot along the
lines of the firemen's procedure
Denouncement of the strike began
at meeting of opposing sides with
assembled civic authorities. Minor
differences with the radio telegraphers
we're ironed out Immediately and the
Strike Committee began its long
awaited preparation of settlement bal
lots.
With a few exceptions the unions
won their major demands, particularly
the right to control the halls which
dispatch unlicensed seafaring men to
Jobs aboard ship, the eight-hour day or
less, cash pay instead Of time of" for
overtime work. and union recognition.
In two notable instances, however,
the employers retained full freedom
to select ships oficers and engineers.
The masters, mates and pilots and the
marine engineers unions accepted wage
increases and other concessions and
gave the shipowners the right to hire
such men outside union ranks.

Probe Of Senate Unlikely.
What Cannon proposes. therefore,
Is an investigation Of the Senate. 1t
is not likely that will get very far, or
that his resolution will be reported out
Of the House Judiciary Committee.
The Guffey resolution, calling for an
investigation of the charges made IN
the Nine Old Men" against members
of the Supreme Court. is now before q
subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary
Committee. headed by Senator Nc
Carren Of Nevada. The chances are it
will never be reported out Of COM
tnittee.
One way of limiting the powers of
the courts to deal with laws passed
by Congress is contained in the bill
offered by Senator McKellar of Ten
nessee. That measure would take
from the inferior courts the power to
issue injunctions, preventing the oper-
alton Of such laws until the Supreme
Court shall have determined the
constitutionality Of the laws.

Dr. Burke Travels With g Russians
 n Way To Firing Squad

Soviet is undertaking, Dr. Burke said.
 Other interesting places visited included Scapa Flow, off Scotland, where the Germans scuttled their battleships at the end of the World War, rather than let them be cap tured by the Allies.
 In the United States, Dr. Burke took post graduate work at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, at New York and at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He also visited surgeons at leading European capitals.
 The Burke's visit to Europe was made just last August. Afterward, they returned to the U. s. to attend a conference of surgeons in Chicago.
 The doctor is glad to be going ba k to his little post at Fort Yu- kon. The hustle, the teeming rush of the Great Outside has begun to pail. Strikes, wars, crack-brained politics-they never bother the folks in the land of the midnight sun where the waters of the Yukon rip pie onward to the sea.
