SEATTLE, Dec. 3-Puget Sounds waterfront tieup went into it's 64th day today with little immediate nope Of renewing operations.
 Federal conciliators emerged from meeting between employers and the American Federation of Labor checkers last night with pessi- mistic mo settlement in sight" re- port. Meetings would 5ontinue, they said. but added that no lu- ture times had been set.
 Tn ether phases of the maritime problem, Frank P Foisie, head of the Pacific Coast Waterfront En- ployers Association, and Robert Mayer, Association public relations man, were reported in San Fran cisco last night to be hurrying to Seattle.
 Their departure, which California sources said was on Association business" followed action locally ex- polling two member firms for mak- ing separate agreements with the striking checkers for rail-car load ing of $30,00O0Oo Alaska salmon pack stored here.
 A. Bacon, Vice President and Genersl Manager of Salmon Ter minals, Inc, one of the firms oust- ed, told interviewers the employ CTS group was run by San Fran cisco interests to the detriment of Seattle and Alaska"
 Ut isn't that Seattle interests are cutvoted in these labor agree ment. questions, he added. Tt is simply that we don't have any vote. San Francisco runs the show, and apparently they don't care what happens to Seattle and Alaska

By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-H is a blow by-blow picture of how John L. Lewis has been frantically work ing behind the scenes to effect a settlement of the coal strike.
 Both Government and industry are split wide open on how to handle Lewis. John L., being a union dictator, has been able to play divide-and-co all over the lot. His steady war of nerves against both the Administration and the operators is now begin ming to bear fruit.
 Immediately after tt became cer- tain the strike was coming on, John L. called Cyrus Eaton, Cleve- land banker, and asked him to come to Washington to help end the strike.
 Lewis next contacted Harry Moses, head of the Henry c. Frick Coal Company and boss of U. $. Steeps coal operations. Moses drove all night from Pittsburgh in order to be on deck in Washing ton next day for a four-hour ses- sion with Lewis.
 Lewis complained to Eaton at their first secret meeting that he was unable to contact anybody in- side the Government to negotiate

 The strike, effective at 5 a. m, was a retaliatory move by AFL un- ions to Sundays stoppage of two union trucks laden with merchan- disc, to two picketed department stores in downtown Oakland. The unions insisted the truck drivers were strikebreakers. Union clerks struck at two stores five weeks ago in support of their demand for un- ion recognition, but the stores con tinued to operate.
 "PuiI Out Everything"
 Charles w. Real, President of the AFL California Federation of Labor anG Eaa6 ce ..,-c H@sJ Dis trict Council of Teamsters, was said by union sources here to have given the signal for the strike. He was in Washington, D. C., on a busi- ness trip Appraised of Sundays events, his reply was quoted: Pull out everything in Oakland
 Reached in Washington, however, Real disclaimed any responsibility for the strike.
 This is all quite a surprise to me-" he told reporters, adding that he had placed telephone calls to union leaders in Oakland in an at tempt to have the strike called off and settled peaceably.'
 Schools remained open, City Su- perintendent w. R. Odell said, as Union maintenance employees would be on the job.
 Pharmacists On Job
 Some drug stores closed, but the AFL Teamsters' union, directing strike strategy, said it had arranged that certain registered pharmacists remain on the job.
 Cab drivers did not report for work. AFL interurban-bus drivers did not pick up passengers in Oak land. City street cars and buses did not turn wheel.
 Some restaurants were operating mostly small ones-but most were closed. Bars are closed.
