union must wait at least 80 days
before # may walk out.
Mr.. Beirne said he was not averse
to meeting with Federal officials,
but that no one had approached him
offering such meeting.
I'm looking for ways and means
to settle the issues involved" he
said, land if there is any way of
doing it without calling a strike, Ill
be glad to do so"s
Earlier, it had been reported that
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
would talk the matter over with Mr..
Bernie if the union leader wanted
to drop in at the Labor Depart
ment. Howard T. Colvin, assistant
director of the Cancellation Service.
also said he hoped it would be pos
sible to arrange meeting with
union officials before the four-hou
walkout began.
Coincidence on Nimitz Day.
Some criticism had been made of
union officials for selecting the
afternoon hours for their long meet
ing. Mr.. Beirne pointed out. He
explained that any time designated
for the meetings would have result
ed in break in telephone service,
and that the union considered the
question of a possible strike i'm
portant enough to set convenient
hour for the meeting.
Mr.. Beirne said the fact that the
walkout occurred during the Nimitz
day celebration here was just a
coincidence
Had we in New York known last
week that today was to be Nimitz
day here" he said, 1--WE would have
asked the Washington locals to hold

after failure of negotiations by
union and company officials with
Federal conciliators. Hundreds of
bus riders in California, Oregon,
Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas were stranded as the
members of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street Railway and Motor
Coach Employees quit work at mid
night. The union charged the COM

meeting in attempts to keep 10000

Mr. Hensel said the Navy intends
to maintain Navy personnel at
plants only for minor supervision.
He wants, he added, to avoid sta
tioning military patrols.
"We won't start that way" he as
serted, but we will do anything
necessary to see that the law is not
violated"
Other Agencies to Cooperate.
The President directed number
of Government agencies, including
the Justice Department, to cooper

Mr.. Hensel estimated it would re-
quire two weeks to restore full pro-
duction In the strike bound plants

1t was understood that Maj. Doug
las committee would recommend
that 36 industry and labor delegates
be invited to the conference Novem-
ber 5. The invitations will be di-
vided evenly between the two sides
with impartial chairmen and secre-
tary the only others to be present
at the big meeting.
The CIO and AFL each would
have eight delegates with one each
for the United Mine Workers and
the railroad labor organizations.
The Douglas Committee, 1t was
said, has arranged an, agenda suf-
ficiently broad so that the confer
ence could discuss almost any prob
lem 1t chooses. The business of es-
tablishing new Federal machinery
for handling disputes will be left to
delegates.
Strike Ties up 16e Ships.
Shipping in the port of New York
was tied up with l66 ships unable
to move as the strike of an unde-
termined number-between IS 200
and 60.000-of longshoremen and
dock workers continued. The Federal
Cancellation Service was asked to
step into the dispute, while the
Wage Scale Committee of the AFL
International Longshoremen's Asso-
citation urged the strikers to 60 back
to work Monday.
The committee recommended the
return, assuming employers would
reopen negotiations on disputed
points in new contract. A War
Shipping Administration report that
the ships tied up included nine troop
transports was denied by union
leaders. A VISA ofiicial said contin-
uance of the strike threatened com
plete dislocation of troop redeploy-
ment schedules"
Newest outbreak on the troubled
labor front was a strike of 2.700 AFL

Wage, Price Problem!
Peril Reconversion,
krug Warns Nation
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE. Jr.

~ A'AAAAOoAAsA
War Production Board Chairman
j. A. Krug warned today that wage
and price problems of labor and
management will have to be worked
out in the next two or three weeks
| If industry is to meet Its year-end
goals in reconversion.
AT the same time, Mr.. Krug
warned of the possibility of ration
ing of coal in steel production and
gas utilities. and perhaps rationing
of manufactured gas, as result of
coal strikes.
Mr.. Krug, who will retire from
the Government when WPB is
liquidated next month, made his
second report on progress of in
dustry's reconversion. He admitted
that it was "a little silly to talk
about reconversion with the strike
situation what it is" He added
that this problem appears to be
getting no better fast"
you can't draw any optimism
from this report because Of the in
ability of labor and management to
work out their differences" Mr..
Krug declared.
Auto Goal Periled.
He pointed out that If the auto
mobile industry, now begged down
with labor difficulties, does not get
started by next month that it will
be impossible to achieve the Decem-
ber production of 255,18l cars.
Assuming that wage and price
problems can be worked out soon,
WPB has been informed by indus
try that by next June it will be
turning out civilian goods at 238
per cent of the 1899 rate. The esti-
mated volume of total industry pro-
duction for civilian use at that time
may be $1,253,857 900 a month, he
said.
Mr.. Krug will leave Government
service when WPB goes out of busi-
ness and is replaced BY an interim
organization, the Civilian Produc-
ton Administration.

phone workers in Maryland were
ready to authorize a strike at meet
ings being held throughout the
State. He said nearly 5000 employees
were affiliated with the union
throughout the State, and he esti-
mated about 800 900 telephones would
be without service in Maryland

telephone service in Maryland were
made by Col. Beverly Ober,
superintendent of the State Police
Department All leaves were can

troopers have been instructed to re-
