With Machinists
BY the Associated Press.

Representatives of the carpenters
and machinists' unions failed to
agree at brief War Labor Board
hearing yesterday on submitting to
an arbitrator a 29-year-old juris-
dictional controversy.
Meanwhile, the WLB was told by
employer representatives that the
dispute has resulted in cessation of
a construction job at Granite City
UllD war plant.
Harvey W. Brown, president of the
International Association of Ma
chinists, which left the American
Federation of Labor because of the
controversy. told the board he was
willing to have an arbitrator ap-
pointed to settle the dispute at
Granite City
AFL Aide Won't Agree.
But George G. Ottens. general rep
resentative of William L. Hutcheson,
president of the AF'L United Broth
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners Of
America, said he had no instruc-
tons and was in no position to
agree on any arbitration whatever "
Mr. Hutcheson did not attend the
meeting. but the presence of his
representa- tive obviated the neces-
sity for the board to carry out a
previous threat to subpoena him if
his union failed to be represented
The board gave all parties in
volved until Friday to submit copies
of contracts involving work at the
Granite City plant.
The controversy came to a head
when the carpenters and machinists
both sought the right to install new
machinery
Work Ordered Stopped.
J. D. Street. assistant to the pres
ident of the Granite City Steel Co..
told the board his firm ordered the
general contractor. the Fruin-Col-
non Construction Co, to stop work
until the controversy was settled be-
cause of fear of a strike. Both Mr..
Street and Philip c. Wise, repre-
senting the construction company,
said their companies had no inter-
est in the union dispute but were
anxious for work to be expedited
Mr.. Wise's company has a contract
with the AFL union, where Mr..
Streets has a contract allowing the
machinists to do its repair and main
tenance work.

Step Taken in Britain
To Promote Trade
With Russians
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 15.-British man.
ufacturers and exporters took initial
steps today toward the formation of
a British-Soviet Cooperative Trad
ing Association to promote trade
with Russia.
The association. which also would
implement the 1912 British-Soviet
alliance calling for cooperation in
the organization of postwar economic
security in Europe, would consist Of
British manufacturers and exporters
willing to produce and deliver goods
to Russia at the lowest possible cost.
They would be equipped to nego-
tiate contracts with the Soviet gov
eminent and would market Soviet
products in Britain.
The draft of the proposal sug-
gested that the British and Soviet
ambassadors might act as patrons
of the association.
Trade between the two countries
now is conducted by the United
Kingdom Corp. whose capital is
wholly owned by the British Treas
ury.
The proposals have been for
warded to the Soviet government.
The British government, it was
learned. has not considered the
proposals, although unofficial ap-
proaches have been made to some
departments and members of Parlia-
ment.

Sharp Improvement
In Food Outlook
Seen by Institute
BY the ASsociafed prese

BY the Associated Press,
NEW YORK, July 13.-The Amer
lean Institute of Food Distribution
predicted yesterday much better
conditions in the domestic food sup
ply outlook unless a hot spell cur
tails 1943 crops in July or August.
The institute, maintained on a
cooperative, non-profit basis through
membership, said three influences
appreciably relieving domestic food
shortages were:
Cash incentives to farmers for
larger output will increase later
supplies-not too much in 1943,
however, except possibly milk.
Reductions in Army demands for
men and supplies will increase
civilian supplies of canned goods
and dehydrated vegetables.
More Ships Available.
Earliest change for larger DOM
este food supplies will come from
surplus ocean shipping, as shown
by recent improved coffee and cocoa
imports. Adding $4,000 tons of
bananas a month to our imports
will help relieve fruit shortages
until the 1914 harvest.
Here is how the institute describes
individual food conditions:
Meats-Supply should be rela-
lively easy when farmers sell live
stock normally and when black
markets are brought under control.
Dairy products-Serious shortage
approaching which will have to be
offset by a general cut in butter pro-
duction unless fluid milk is to be
rationed in most cities.
Fats and oils-Civilians will be
forced to substitute margarine for
butter, fat supply should be suff1-
cient to avoid soap rationing but we
are unlikely to have enough fats for
unrestricted civilian use until after
the end of the European war.
Poultry and eggs-Chicken supply
up Is per cent from last year with
the poultry shortage attributed to
the public substituting chicken for
meats and quantities moving in
black markets; city jewellers faced
with less than fair proportion while
farm areas will receive adequate
supplies.
Fruits to Be Scarce.
Fresh and canned fruits-Short-
ages in store until 1914 harvest with
apples selling at high prices, but
situation to be relieved partially by
large banana imports and indicated
big citrus crops next winter.
Preserves-MoStly manufactured
from apricots, peaches, grapes,
oranges and grapefruit with in
adequate supplies of berries and red
cherries.
Dried fruits-Ample supplies of
prunes, raisins and figs but shortages
in apricots and peaches.
Dried beans, peas and rice-Ci-
william supplies limited in next year
because of lend-lease deliveries.
Fresh and canned vegetables
Supplies depend on weather in the
next four months with outlook bet
ter than three weeks ago.
Wheat, corn and other cereals
epression- accumulated surplusi
gone but shortage not likely to be
sufficiently serious to force prema-
ture livestock marketing and cuts
in milk and poultry unless l943 corn
harvest is disastrously short.
