A longshoreineF1's strike tied up nearly all shipping in New York Harbor today as spreading coal and oil strikes threatened the nations fuel supply.
 Approximately S0,o0o dock workers left their jobs despite efforts of the AFL LongShore- mems Association to return them to work pending fur ther contract negotiations.
 Elsewhere, strikes curtailed coal mining in Pennsylvania. Ohio, west Virginia and Kentucky, oil refins ing in i2 states, numbering in the Pc. cific northwest and auto fiiafltifacs turing in Detroit.

 The coal strike forced the govs ernfnent to limit soft coal ship- mentS to essential users in four eastern districts and to order dl. version of every possible ton Of coal to docks on the Great Lakes. NoFth- western States are dependent fot their winter fuel on coal shippeo through the Great Lakes, which will be closed to navigation within nifit weeks.
 More than loe,0Oo bituminouS coaI miners were idle. They refused to cross picket lines set Up by fore' men who are seeking recognition foi their union affiliated with tht United Mine Workers,

 The union official said today ssThe union is still anxious to set- tic the Issues by peaceful means and sincerely hopes that Labor Secretary Schwellenbach will be able to induce the company to modify it's adamant refusal"
 
 Tn it's request for . strike ballot the union specified the 90 per cent wage increase issue aS well as the demand for payment of the com- pensetory bonus.
 Tn the event no settlement iS reached during the 30-day cooling off" period, required under the Smith- Connaliy Act, the National Labor Relations Board will arrange for conduction of balloting here.

 Speaking of the bonus issue, Man- kowshi stated, 'rhe union now has been upheld four times by the War Labor Board and the company has failed four times to win it's point before an impartial agency Of the government. The company's refusal Co obey the outstanding order ot the VILE together with it's refusal to grant c general wage increase leave the union with no other re- couse but to propose strike action.'

Moy Abolish Rotion Books Next Spring
 Extro Sugar MoY
 Result in Ample
 Supply for U. s.

Washington, Oct. s-(UP)-Civil- ians may be able to throw their ration books away sometime next spring.
 This prospect was held out today by Secretary of Agriculture clinton P, Anderson as he disclosed the dis- coyery of i,00O,O00 tons of sugar in liberated Java ports.
 The American share of this tn. expected stockpile is likely to be at least 100000 tons--about 10 pounds per person If evenly di- vlded, Anderson said 1t was enough to make possible the end of sugar rationing many months earlier than anticipated.
 Officials originally feared that sugar rationing would be necessary through io4e. With the sudden dis covery of the large stocks In Java, and the prospect of even more m other Pacific areas, Anderson ir1oi- cated that sugar coupons may be torn up when the Cuban sugar crop Is harvested next spring.
 Other RatiOning
 The rationing of fats and oils, meats and the few other foods still on the ration list Is expected to end by Jan. or shortly thereafter. Shoes the only other item for which ration books are now used. are ex- pected to become ration free within weeks.
 Bakers, candy makers and other industrial users probably will have their sugar quotas liberalized al- most immediately as result of the sudden improvement in supply. :.

Ell Centro's water storage supply

Work already has been started. In
order to increase the storage sup
ply, Ford said, the city is increas-

The city uses an average of four

Although cutting off of the city's
