 In the first place, CIO chief Phil Murray held secret meeting with his cohorts recently in which 1t was decided to postpone all major strikes for the, time being. In the second place, certain AFL leaders (though not the majority are not aperse to a little labor trouble right now in order to defeat the Democrats at the polls in Novem- Der.
 John L. Lewis is the leader of this group, with George Meany and Matt Woll tagging along behind. They are playing close to the Re publicans.
 Embarrassment of the Truman Administration was behind Lewis telegram to striking maritime lead CT Harry Lundeberg, offering Unit ed Mine Workers cash to support AFL sailors With Congress in re- cess, many AFL leaders also feel there is no danger of reviving the Case Bill CT passing other restric- tive labor legislation.

CrippIing Ship Tie-up Pro- longed After AFL De-
 mands Are Met

WASHINGTON, Sept. l3.-A turnabout in the nationwide mari time dispute developed today as CIO unionists began walking out on strike and AFL seafaring men pledged their support.
 CIO maritime unions went on strike today to enforce demands that they be granted the wage con cessicns which the government yes- terday authorized for the AFL un- ions.
 The CIO strike action prolonged the crippling shipping tie-up which began last week when the Sea- farer's International Union and the Sailors Union of the Pacific, both AFL, walked out in protest against the wage stabilization boards re- fusal to approve wage increases S to $l0 a month higher than those won by the CIO last June.
 The Board. in effect, was over ruled late yesterday by Reconversion Director John R. Steelman. who amended wage stabilizahon rules to permit the maritime commission to pay wage scales on government owned ships equal to those in effect on substantial portion of private ly owned ships
 CiO Hike Indicated
 Hope that the new tisup will be shortlived came this morning from Washington, The Labor Relations Director for the maritime commis- sion, J. Godfrey Butler, announced that he thought the commission would extend to the CIO the same increases as were granted to the AFL.
 The CIO walkout became unani- nous at noon today when East Coast maritime workers joined their fellow members on the West Coast who struck at midnight.
 It appeared that the CIO Nation al Maritime Union and the other sea-going unionists affiliated with the committee for maritime unity could gain their higher. pay only after negotiating new contracts with the operators to supercede those signed just before their strike of last June was to have started.
