WSB Approves Wage Boosis For Mining
Falt Finding Board Recon. ments Pay Hike, West
 Areas and Alaska

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Wage Stabilization Board yesterday approved increases not to exceed 18 1-2 cents an hour for tte ma jority of 80,000 workers in the non ferrous metal mining industry of the Rocky Mountain West and Alaska.
 The approval means the compan- ies may apply for price increases to offset a rise in wages. A fact finding board on April 30 rccom- mended the pay hike.
 officials of the United States Consolidation Service predicted the Boards action will end strikes that have occurred in majority oi plants for which the increase was approved. Some strikes date back to January.
 The decision applies to all facil- ities engaged in mining, milling, smelting or refining of copper. lead, zinc or their by-products in Color ado. Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Cali fornia, Nevada, Washington, Oregon and Alaska, which were covered in the fact-finding report.

INTERNATIONAL
 DEFENSE FORCE
 WILL BE STRONG
Military Delegates of Five Biz Nations Are in
 Close Harmony

NEW YORK, May 24. - Gen. Martial Valin of the French air force, President of the United Ma tions Military Staff Committee, said today the members of the Committee designed to become a general staff of the world, were in unanimous agreement on all prob lems of enforcing world security which they had discussed.
 Gen. Valin, who presides over the sessions of the military delegates from Russia, Great Britain, the United States, China and France, declared the closest harmony pre- vailed in their efforts to establish an international defense force which would be so strong no na- tion would dare to go to war.
 Until now, he explained, discus sions have centered on the com- mittee's relations with the U. N. Secretariat in case it becomes nec- essary to take action to prevent or stop war.
 Preliminary discussions are all ready underway, however" he said, "on the technical means of or ganizing a world army. Obviously these are kept closely secret and thus far have taken place only. be- tween individual delegations.

WESTERN SYSTEMS
 IN TIE-up
Troop Trains Apparently Permitted to Operate
 -Freights Hailed

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-The great western railroads. serving the far-flung cities of the Pacific slope, had virtually ceased to op- crate today.
 A few trains, manned by super visory crews, were moving, but for the most part the strike was effec- tive.
 There were no reports of vio- lenee.
 The fruit industry, the wtss coasts greatest, was jeopardized by the rail tie-up.
 Stranded
 Some transcontinental passeng- CTS were stranded at small towns hundreds of miles from their des- tinations.
 At San Francisco. 10000 regular commuters by train were forced to- day to find other modes of trans portation to reach the city and their jobs.
 Los Angeles suffered an almost complete transportation paralysis. In addition to the rail strike, a strike of the city transit workers was still underway.
 Army Planes For Mail
 Airlines worked staffs on around the clock shifts and U. s. mail officials arranged to use Army, Navy planes to transport first class mail.
 There were several reports of trainmen permitting troop trains to operate. A 15-car train manned by supervisory officials left Portland. Ore, for Spokane, Wash, last night, and two hours later a sec- ond train, with regular crew. left for Fort Lawton, Seattle. carrying troops.
 Great Northern mail train No. 28 left Seattle on schedule last night, bound for St. Paul, Minn. There were 50 passengers and mail.
 The strike apparently had halted all freight movement. and none of the railroads was accepting any new freight for shipment.
 Airlines held out little hope of alleviating the situation, since they normally are booked to capacity.

HAWKING, May 24. A high Kuomingtang official said today the governments recapture of Changchun opened the way for re- sumption of peace negotiations but a Communist spokesman countered that complicates the situation"
 Now we can begin to talk with the Communists" regarding peace in Manchuria, said the Kuomin- tang National Party) official, who demanded anonymity.
 Tung Pi-wu, a Nanking Com munist leader, said the party's peace negotiator, Gen. Chou En-lai, had delivered to General Marshall Communist chairman Mao Tse- tung's acceptance lin principle" of the minority Democratic Leagues three point truce proposal, but ad- ded significantly:
 "The key is now in our hands. We shall see what President Chiang Kai-shek will do.
 Tung's statement came. in the midst of otherwise optimistic de- velopments as the troubled Man churian situation reached a cli- max.
 Chiang made a surprise flight to Mukden, possibly on peace mis- sion, and Secretary General Chi Yien-ming of the Communist Party in Nanking flew to Shanghai to discuss the Democratic Leagues truce plan with League and Youth Party officials.
 Tung said everything hinged on developments after the Generalis- siIno returns from Mukden.

 The strike was called by CIO West Coast Longshoremen, Ware house and Maritime unions and would affect waterfront workers along the entire West Coast.
 A fact-finding board recently recommended a retroactive general wage increase of approximately 20 percent for 16,000 longshoremen on the West Coast.

FOOD SUPPLY, INDUSTRY |5 PARALYzED
Terrific Conditions Report ed-Shufdowns Threat
 ened in Production
(pY rnn Assoc1Arrp PRESS,


 The gpeatest railroad strike in history struck paralyzing blow to- day at the nations transportation, its industry and it's food supply. The effects were almost instan- taneous.
 The Postoffice Department de- clared mail embargo limiting ser- vice to local deliveries and to first class and air mail out of town items. A weight limitation of Is ounces was placed on first class letter mail and air mali.
 Senator Byrd CD-va) said after a White House call that President Truman was considering an ap- peal to joint session of Congress for additional authority to prevent further nationwide strikes.
 Farmers Hold Back
 Livestock receipts dropped off as much as so percent at a dozen leading markets. Although most re- ceipts are delivered by truck. the packers said, farmers held back their offerings because of pro- bable drop in prices due to lack of shipping facilities out of the pack ing plants.
 Food Shortage
 The major cities faced the pros poets of food shortages within days and industries. large and small, were threatened with shutdowns or sharp castaiiMent of production. A representative of the Associa- tion of American Railroads told reporters that out of approximate ly l7,5o0 passenger trains which normally operate daily only 50 were running today.
 Tn many instances they were run by emergency crews. Troop and milk trains were running but no freights.
 He said there had been IT re- ports of violence.
