 TO STRIKE
Date Is Set for April 21- Statement Issued by
 Seattle Union

SEATTLE, April II. = With breakdown in negotiations. cannery workers in the Alaska canned sal mon industry will go on strike April 2l, It was announced by the Pulp licity Committee of the Food, To- bacco, Agricultural and Allied Workers of America CIO), which has been representing the cannery workers and farm laborers union Local ' in Seattle and six locals of the ETA in Alaska.
 The committees statement said the employers had not departed rom their original offer.
 Their original offer of 9 per- cent increase, made on a take 1t or leave 1t basis, amounts to a raise 1f only six cents per hour in our lowest category" the statement said. This represents only one third of the national wage-raise pattern which has been established in steel, auto and electrical indus tries.
 We have already notified all
 ther unions involved in the Alas ka salmon canning operation of our action and we have been in- formed by Fred Scheel of the Al-
 ska Fishermen's Union that their Seattle branch had voted to give us complete support
 Walter Fuhrer, representing the industry told interviewers today that fin Io4z we executed labor contracts with all the unions, cozi- taining identical escalator clause on wage increases based on costs Of living, and a termination clause. providing the contract should con- tinue until the end of the calendar year in which the President pro- claimed the end of hostilities.
 All but this one union signed a memorandum agreement with us this spring that the 1942 contract still is in effect, but we mutually agreed to amend the termination clause so that in future the con- tract can be reopened by either party. Only this one union con- tends the 1942 agreement has ex- .,ired, on the ground the shooting war has ended"

Opposition Voiced by Fish erman, Also Owners of
 Vessels Involved

 Opposition to the program was voiced by Harold F. Lokken, Man. ager of the Seattle Fishing Vessel Owners Association, and commit tee consisting of halibut fishing vessel owners and captains.
 The spokesman said that the al- location program caused serious delay in Alaska to the fishing fleet. They said that dealers te whom the fish was allocated ofter did not have the facilities for re- ceiving the catches. causing an other serious delay to vessels.
 Charles Smith of the Office oi Price Administration. San Fran cisco, urged that the halibut catch be allocated to dealers as in 1944 and 1945 fin the interest of pro- per price control and to avoic disturbance of normal channels oi distribution.
 Thss l94S haicut season vii opesv May cn the fishing banks Under a treaty with Canada, catch of 52.500.000 pounds of hali- but has been authorized for this year. The allocation plan has beer based on the amount of halibu' purchased by the dealers during 2 five-year period before the wal when conditions in the industry were normal.

NEW MOVE BY RUSSIANS
 ANNOUNCED

WASHINGTON. April i1.--Dip- lomatic officials hailed Russia's appointment of new ambassador to the United States as fresh sign today of Soviet faith in the United Nations.
 Moscow last night announced ap- pointment of Nikolai V. Novikov as Ambassador in Washington, suc- ceeding Andrei A. Gromyko. Rus sia's permanent representative on the U. s. Security Council.
 State Department officials later confirmed hat Russia recently had made the usual inquiries about the acceptability of Noyikov present Charge D'Affaires--and had been told the United States would well come his appointment.
 Diplomatic officials who relayed Novikovs appointment to Russia's regard for the U. S. reasoned this way:
 If the Soviet Union took LIN. lightly it would not have assigned an official of Gromyko's stature and experience to devote full time to the Council job.
 Gromykos appointment was an- nounced March 24, the day before the U. s. Council met for the first time in New York. It was not until Novikov's appointment was an- nounced, however that the world knew for certin that Gromyko would be full-time Security Coun- cil member with no ambassadorial chores to perform.
 The U. N. job is one for which the special assignments of the black -haired, 38-year-old Soviet diplomat during the last three years have prepared him. Gromyko has sat in on virtually every interna- tional conference having to do with the establishment of U. N.

SHIP STRIKE END TINTED
 AT SEATTLE
Confusion in Reports on Progress of Negofia-
 lions al Kefchikdn

Associated Press dispatches re- ceived by the Empire this after noon indicated quick end to the Alaska longshoremen's strike. How ever. these reports from Seattle conflict with latest information received from Ketchikan where strike negotiations are taking place.
 According to the Seattle dis patches: A steamship operator at Seattle said that both the employ CTS and the longshoremen now have agreed to arbitrate their diff erences and "the end of the strike is in sight" Both sides have agreed to accept pr. Vernon A. Mund, Professor of Economies at the Uni versity of Washington, as arbitra- tor and the issue to be arbitrated is whether Alaska longshoremen should receive retroactive pay to October 1, 1924 and other benefits awarded Pacific Coast longshore- men under a War Labor Board directive, he said.
 Also at Seattle, Steve Glumaz, International Representative for the ILWU. added to the optimistic picture. but restated the condition that is reported to have proved the stumbling block in latest Ketchikan negotiations. Glumaz said.
 "The Alaskan employers have agreed to pay si,32 an hour straight time and $1.98 an hour overtime as of April |.
 i; we accepted their proposition with the condition that they inl- mediately seek approval of the agreement from the government agencies involved. and that all pro- visions of pending Pacific Coast longshore agreements and all agree ments in the future automatically be extended to Alaska. The ships tied up by the strike in Alaska should begin moving today"

KETcHIKAN REPORTS

Although ship operators at Seattle were today reported to have expressed hope that Alaska ports would reopen tomorrow, lat est advices from Ketchikan-cen- ter of negotiations-indicated there's still long way to go to work out settlement of the longshoremen's strike now handcuffing Alaska shipping.
 It is stated that employers ob- feet to inclusion of new feature in the unions latest arbitration proposal That all provisions of a pending Pacific Coast agreement will be automatically extended to Alaska
 Wednesday afternoon. the Ketch- ikan Waterfront Employers Associa- tion, representing Alaska ship own CTS and dock operators in negotia- tions with the striking workers of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union (CIO) l. renewed its offer to pay a base hourly wage to longshoremen of $l.32 per hour provided the union will return it's men to work im- mediately. However. the employers again tackled on the view that the question to be submitted to arbi- tration should be whether the August l8. l945 directive of the War Labor Board which raised the base pay of longshoremen in Pac- fife Coast ports by five cents per hour is applicable to Alaska ports
 Union Objects
 That proyiso has already been ob- jected to by the union, which pro- posed that arbitration should be concerned with the period over which retroactive pay is due the workers plus extension to Alaska of other benefits received by Pacific Coast dock workers under the VILE directive.
 The course of negotiations since yesterday afternoon between the Waterfront Employers at Ketchikan and the Alaska Negotiating Con- mittee for the ILWU. also head quartered at Ketchikan as repre- sentative for all Alaska locals. has been:

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTOE-There is an ex- cellent reason why Secretary of State James Byrnes has been urg- ing the Russians to sit down with him soon at the long delayed peace conference There is also signi- ficant back-stage reason why the Russians up to this week had been hanging back. 5
 Both reasons revolye round the same dynamite-,aden situation Trieste. Each side, however, views it from a different angle.
 The Russians wanted to delay the peace conference until Mar shal Tito could get his troops in- side this controversial city. If he could get his troops inside, the Russian Yugoslav bloc could pre- sent the peace conference with an accomplished fact and dare the diplomats to give Trieste to some ore else
 Secretary Byrnes, on the other hand, wanted to confer with the foreign ministers this month, not only because the peace conference already was too long delayed, but because American troops in Trieste are already at the brink of open warfare with former ally. And the longer they sit there, the more dangerous the situation becomes.
