probably the most complete
tie-up in the nations shipping
history. In New York alone
24O American and 96 foreign
vessels were bottled up. A total
of 1884 ships were reported idle
as the strike entered its second
day.
Cause Of the strike was the re-
fusaI of the Wage Sterilization
Board to approve wage increases
negotiated by the AFL unions
which were S5 to $40 higher than
those granted to CIO maritime
unions two months ago.
Strike action, which was ap-
proved by 9945 of the votes of
the Seafarers international Union
and the Sailors Union Of the
Pacific, was called when the
WSB turned down legitimate
wage increases which were nego-
tiated by the SIU.SUP and the
shipowners and approved by the
War Shipping Administration"
the union said.

Labor Department officials ad.
mitted they were practically
powerless. Because the dispute
was between the unions and a
government agency with the en-
ployers standing "innocently" at
the sidelines there was no pos
sibility of Federal concilation.
Similarly it was considered
doubtful whether the situation
would permit the government to
propose arbitration or even a
fact-finding board.
Success of the strike was fur
ther assured when CIO mari
time unions, the National Mari
time Union and the International
Longshoremen's & Warehouse
mems Union, announced they
would not violate the AFL picket
lines. In addition the seamen
had the pledged support of the
AFL International Longshore-
mems Union and the AFL Team
sters.

Negotiating
Pilots Pay Demand on
4-Engine Transports

A dispute over salary scales threat
enlng to tie up operation of con-
verted four-engined transports be-
ing delivered to the airlines was
under discussion today before the
Civil Aeronautics Board.
Thirteen airlines affected are
represented by a negotiating COM
mittee headed by Ralph Damon
president of American Airhnes
meeting with agents of the Air Line
Pilots Association, the National
Mediation Board and Labor and
Justice Departments. A member OF
the CAB was presiding.
Anxious to prevent interruption OF
service during a period of swift post
war expansion, the 13 airlines are
seeking an industry wide agreement
with the pilots union for operaticfl
of scores of heavy transports ex-
pected to increase seating capacity
of the carriers by as much as seven
times this year.
Seek $4,000 or More.
Spokesmen for the airlines said
senior pilots are seeking from SIS, ,OOC
to $l8,500 a year, with reduction,
in flying time or from IS to rs hours
month-a demand the industry
feels it cannot meet if it is to pro-
vide mass transportation at rates
comparable with first-class rail &C
commodations.
Under a 12-year-old agreement
with the union, senior pilots now
average about $4,000 a year based on
a sliding scale which, the industry
said, was planned to compensate
them for flying faster planes with
larger passenger capacities. A basic
monthly rate is determined by SEMI
ority, and an hourly rate is in
creased to SIS when plane speeds
are 200 miles an hour or over. An
other so per cent is added to the
hourly rate for night flying. A third
factor in tataling salaries, it was
said, is bonus for speeds flown
in excess of 100 miles an hour.
Under this scale pilots averaged
from $4,000 to $1,000 a year in 1884
when it was argued they should have
this high" rate because of the
hazards of the profession and the
comparatively short period in which
they would be allowed to operate
airliners. The industry insists that
hazards have been reduced anc

Bid System Provided.
Under an agreement patterned
after that prevailing in the rail-
road industry. lines opening new
services ask pilots to bid on them
and accept qualified bids on q
seniority basis. If no bids are re-
ceived, the lines may assign pilots
to the run pending mediation OF

Square. They presented the case to
a local restaurateur and he agreed
to keep the place open, to make the
occasion of Miss Bergner's visit
something special in the life of the
community.
He thought maybe every one would
like to drop in after the theater,
just like they all do in New York
at one of those -the-theater
parties.
1t was fine piece of progress
sive thinking, and quite idealistic
of him. The only thing wrong with
it was that Miss Bergner couldn't
stand the place or the food.
But she dearly loves America and
she is going right back touring her
next successful play.
The hotels, at least, should have
all those gadgets by then--the ones
every one has been talking about
for years.

tolerance.
If it did not make her sound
unladylike, which she is not, it
would be said that Miss Bergner was
the aggressor in the romantic affair
between her and America.
AS an actress in the European
tradition, one of the first things she
did upon arriving here was to find
out about great actresses in the
American tradition. She learned
quickly that such actresses as Helen
Hayes, Katharine Cornell, Ethel
Barrymore and Lynn Fontainne
with Alfred, to be sure) make it a
regular point to make Nation wide
tours in their successful plays.
Miss Bergner stored that away in
the back of her mind, where it was
so quiet and snug every one thought
she had forgotten about it. But
when the Chicago run of The Two
Mrs. CAROLS" ended, Miss Begner
showed she had remembered all
along.
Il want to make a Nation wide
tour" she said, these -nighters,
anu ike JIldt.
Miss Bergner's colleagues did not
share her enthusiasm.
ITS terrible" they chorused. Its
impossible" They did not ask Miss
Bergner whether she knew there
was war on, she being an early
refugee from Hitlers madness.
Miss Bergner was adamant, so
she and her company went one
nightlng across America. She ex-
pected travel hardships, but not
quite so many as she actually en-
countered. But as the one who
insisted upon the booking she never
complained She did develop
yearning for airplanes, but when
she got troop trains instead, she was
very glad to settle gracefully for
them. The show always went on,
although how the star managed to
arrive for it frequently was some
thing OF a transportation miracle.

Miss Bergner was better at not
being annoyed by Americas travel
situation than it was in avoiding
irritation over her eating habits.

the theater, as a great many per-
formers do Rural America has
heard the like of that, but it seldom
has seen it. 1t is accustomed to
people eating their last meal moi
later than 7 pm, or maybe snack
as late as 8 o'clock. The cooks
countermen, walters, mattresses and
cashier all go home then, or maybe
they got off earlier when Miss Berg
ner was in town in order to see her
performance. Whatever the rea-
son, they centainly were not around
when she got hungry. One-night
stands are flagrantly like that, any
veteran theater traveller could have
told Miss Bergner.
Miss Bergner was not as depressed
by that as any other actress might
have been. One of her avocations is
cooking. In fact, next to acting
for everyone, she likes nothing so
much as cooking for Elizabeth
Bergner
1t was just when she was certain
there would be no hardship for her
IN the sight of closed restaurant,
that she made rather a painful dis
covery about the native push-button
civilization. AS Europeans do, she
thought it was universal, that all
hotels had electric refrigerators
fold-up gas burners and little things
that made coffee at a nod from the
hotels customers.
1t came to her as quite a shock
that gadgets had not got around as
much as every one seemed to think,
that commercial hotels had no such
things. 1t also left her with a
hungry feeling from time to time.

So the agile Swiss stepped inand how Under the u S.

Nevertheless the state department recently came to

been introduced in congress to limit imports to 100000
watches annually

That's The Way The
Money Goes

Henry County, Indiana, is just an
average midwesteSn community. There
IS nothing exceptional about it. What
goes on there in the way of govern
ment probably is typical of any similar
community in the nation.
The fact that it is an average county
gives the revelations of a two-year
study by the Henry County Council
on lntergovernmental Relations added
interest.
This study which deals with over
tapping governmental activities and
their effect on the taxpayers pocket
book, shows, according to a bulletin
OF the American Municipal Associa-
ton, that thirty-five units of local gov
eminent are taxing county resources
and then spending revenues with little

Leadership Lacking

Although the present peace confer
ence in Paris is preliminary to- the final
parley, which will deal with the future
status of the chief offending nations,
it is apparent at the start that some
thing vital is lacking at the old Luxem-
bourg palace-something that will no
more be present when the peace Of the
world is in the balance than at the
present meeting which is concerned
only with treaties for Germany's war
satellites.
That something is leadership. The
impression gained from these delibera-
tons is that the gathering is a second
rate affair, not the main show under
the big top.
Consider the contemporary Big Four.
There is no great leader among them.
When peace was the main considera-
ton after the First World War, the
Big Four lowered above this quartette
as the Washington Monument towers
above the White House.
Wilson, Clemenceau, Lloyd George,
Orlando-how they stand out in COM
parison with Byrnes, Molotov, Bidault
and Attlee, Substituting for Bevin).
To be sure they failed to bring forth a
lasting peace. World War II stemmed
from their laundering. But the con-
clusion is inevitable that if they, with
their greater understanding, still lack
ed the vision to write a permanent
peace, how much less are the present
Big Four capable of laying the founda-
ton for it through the treaties they
are to consider when and if they ever
worm their way out of the morass of
trlvialities in which they are lost to-
day.
