Labor Troubles Halt
Maritime Commerce
On San Francisco bay
Three Strikes Still in
Deadlock; Loneshoremen
Negotiations Stymied
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-
Commerce is virtually at a stand
still on San Francisco Bay with
three strikes still in deadlock and
contract negotiations between
waterfront employees and the key
c. I. O. Longshoremen's Union stale
mated.
Business observers noted with
anxiety a rush Of 5000 longshore-
men to apply for State unemploy-
ment insurance benefits Of a pos
sible maximum of SIS week and
wondered if the action pressaged q
long siege on the water front.
Longshoremen are not on strike.
If they were. they would not be
eligible for the insurance benefits
under State law. But they are idle
because they decline to pass picket
lines of the Ship Clerks Union be-
fore piers operated by members of
the Dock Checkers Employers As
sociation. The ship clerks, number
ing about $50, struck Saturday for
a new contract which would give
greater control to the union over
clerks employed on a monthly basis.
Contract negotiations between
iongshoremen and the Water Front
Employers Association broke off
yesterday. At scheduled meeting,
employers said union leaders failed
to supply a written memorandum
they had agreed to furnish. The
union men countered with a charge
employers were "stalling."
Some prospect of settling sep
arte strike of the independent Union
of Marine Firemen and Engine
Room crews against coastwise steam
schooner operators was seen with
report that differences had mar
rowed down to a question of Satur-
day afternoons of for the crews
when ships were in port.
The third strike began yesterday,
when c. I. o. union warehousemen
struck against the municipality
owned portion of the port of Oak
land in a dispute over handling of
a shipment of pears from a ware
house in San Jose designed as "un-
fair" by unionists. Handling Of
pears from this warehouse has been
the cause of two previous disputes
on the water front, but longshore-
men recently have been loading
them under a decision Of Federal
arbitrators.
Warehousemen this time sought
to have the customary baxcar-to-
ship procedure of handling the car
go altered.

Poetic
Thoughts
Home Made
By Morris Gibbs, sr.

In the olden days everything was
home made.
The home was where many
inventors stayed.
AS time went on machinery was
introduced,
Since products began to sell more
profuse.
Home made and handmade articles
go together.
Some handmade advocates will
never sever
Their belief that the finish of
certain goods
Can be produced any more than
certain woods.
Everyone has worn a lot of things
home made.
Some wore better according to the
grade.
The tailoring was durable and
withstood
Hard usage, which was considered
good.
Home made cookery is still
considered best
By all who put food to test.
In bakery goods substitutes are
mostly used.
In home made cookery, substitutes
generally refused.
From small beginnings many
home made start
Has produced products that were
works of art.
The foundation for enlargement
which some day
Made manufacturers advertise
cts made the home made way"
Since many things start from the
home,
Then branch out after it's grown,
The success of every first attempt
Is assured when the best is meant.
