Commercial deposits - that is,

of comparison, all public fund ac-

hits its peak in July when crop

Atlantic Coast Group
Signs NO-Strike Pact
Covering Shipyards
BY UNITED PRESS

Government efforts to pre-
vent labor disputes in the
shipbuilding industry claim
ed initial success on the east
coast Monday in the face OF an
other defeat in the San Francisco
area.
Striking AFL and CIO machinists
voted at san Francisco Sunday
night to reject the request of Pres
ident Roosevelt and recommends
tions of their international officers
to resume work at II shipyards. The
AFL members said acceptance OF
the recommendations would require
sacrifice of long cherished prin-
ciples. Both groups took similar
action previously on a proposal of
the senate defense investigating
committee.
Harvey Brown, president of the
Machinists International Union, call
ed meeting Wednesday night of
the strikers at San Francisco to
reconsider the presidents recon-
mendation that they go back to
work. Brown announced in WASH
ington that he would attend the
meeting and urge the men to end
the strike
The riachinists had asked an
hourly wage of $l15 and double time
for overtime rather than $1l2 with
time and half for overtime pro-
vided by a coastwide agreement.
The AFL strikers disowned the pact
although it was approved by the
AFL Metal Trades Council.
AFL leaders led a back o-work
movement of other craftsmen and
enabled shipyards to resume pro-
duction on a restricted scale. OF
the original 1000 AFL machinists,
400 obtained jobs with other firms
meeting their demands. There were
600 CIO strikers.
The office of production manage
ment which promoted the Pacific
coast agreement. completed a SIM
liar draft Saturday for 55 Atlantic
seaEoard shipJards. Delegates rep
resenting 33 locals of the Industrial
Union of Marine and Shipbuilding
