Russions Buy Iceland Fish
 Trode Agreement
 StortIes World

Washington, June 1.-(UP)-The Soviet Unions new trade agree- ment with Iceland provides for Russian purchase of most of Ice. lands fish catch at prices eSti- mated to be 30 to 50 percent higher thnn other countries are paying for 1t now, 1celandic business circles reported today.
 The text of the agreement was signed in Moscow Tuesday but has not yet been made public. An Ice landic trade mission went to the Soviet capital some weeks ago ct the request of the Soviet govern i11erlt.
 Although Icelandic business inc terests in this country were elated over the high prices the Russians were paying, they also were wor- ried about any possible political i'm. plications the agreement might have. They noted that the agree- ment was signed in little more than q month in advance of 1celand's elections in which the relatively strong Communist Party is making an all-out bid for greater repre- sentation in the government.
 The agreement also coincides with c concerted propaganda campaign by the Soviet press and radio, and by the Communist party in Iceland, against the U. s, request for q naval and air base and the continued presence there of 760 American Army teclinicians c year after the war has ended.
 Before the war, Iceland sold most of It's fish--.its only exportable product of any conSequence--to Mediterranean countries, cspcclal- ly Catholic ones, and to other Scandinavian nations.
 During the war, cut off from her usual markets, Iceland's fish went to hard-pressed Britain. But af- ter >lend-lease, the U. s. bought most of the catch and transferred it to Britain on lend-lease account. This helped both Iceland and Erie tain because Iceland did not want to be paid in British pounds Bterl. ing since most of her purchases were made in the United States and Cnnada.

Senators Pull Strike Control BiH's Teeth
Pass Amended Measure 61 to 2O;, Goes to House

Washington, June l = (UP)-l President TTuman's emergency strike control bill went back to the House today minus some of the teeth 1t possessed when that ciaIll- Der gave 1t smashing approval Q week ago.
 The Senate approved the bill early today at the end of a l3 Ia hour session which clinlaxed Q week of bitter debate. The final vote was 6l to 20. s. u
 Twenty eight Republicans and 3S Democrats joined to pass the meas ure in its final, amended form. The opposition listed 13 Democrats, in. ciuding the tight little bloc of New Dealers, six Republicans and Pro- gressive Robert M., LaFollette of Wisconsin.
 House May Deliberate
 There were strong indications that the House would be more de- Lucrative in considering Senate amendments than 1t was last Sat- urday night when the bill was passed in 70 minutes after MT. Tru- man asked for special powers to deal with strikes against the Gov. ernment in the reconversion period. The bill was passed by the Senate after some of It's more restrictive features were removed. Sections were deleted which would have provided: N
 1. The power to draft strik-
 CTS against Government.
 seized industry.
 2. Diversion to the Treasury
 of net profits, after paying
 owners "just compensation"
 during the period of Govern
 operation.
 3. Loss of seniority, even
 after the end of Government
 control, by employees who re-
 rnained on strike during the
 period of Government opera
 ton.
 There was @ possibility that the House would accept all of the Sen- ate amendments. v Few EOwerD LexC
 As finally approved by the Senate and returned to the House, the bill would empower the President to proclaim . national emergency If a work stoppage occurred in any Government seized plant, mine or facility. He could set e deadline for resumption of operations and set the wages and working oondi- tons for the period of Government t 'hcUsttfbi '''e'
 Employers and union leaders who failed to cooperate in resuniing operations would be liable to 6 maximum penalty of 96.000 fine and one year Imprisonment. f@ {
 Individual strikers would lose their status as employees under terms of the Wagner Labor Act and the Railway Labor Act. < The Government could appeal to district Federal courts for iljunc- tive actions to force compliance. Designed purely as an emergency measure to prevent crippling shut- downs during the reconversion period, the law would expire June 30, i947 unless terminated earlier by the President or Q concurrent resolution of Congress.

Maritime Negotiations 
 Unions Rap Trum0n
 For Threatening
 To Break Woll<out
By UNITED PRESS


 President Trunan's labor policies incurred the criticism of another labor group today, while 76,0OO aI1- thracite miners continued their strike.
 C.I.o. Maritime Union leaders charged that MT. Truman's a1a- nouncement that he would man ships with naval personnel in the event of a maritime strike June 15 had "torpedoed" their peaceful nee gotiations with shipowners.
 Warning of political reprisals, they eaid they would continue efforts to seek peaceful solution" despite MT. Truman's Undermining"
 Lewis stiil Absent
 The Pennsylvania hard coal pits were deserted for the third day. There seemed little prospect of reaching a weekend settlement of the mo contract-no work" strike. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers (AFL0 still was absent from the negotiations.
 President A. ?. Whitney of the trainmen's brotherhood was asked to call Q walkout on the Pennsyl- vania Railroad to protest its added service for 230,O00 commuters stranded by the Hudson and Man. hattan Railroad strike. Local union leaders charged the Pennsylvania's addition of 30 new trains was Q strike breaking tactic. The II. 6 M. was struck by engineers and train men Thursday, when 1t refused to pay the 18M cent hourly wage in. crease granted in settlement of the nationwide strike.
 The C.T.O. Potash Mine Workers representing 5000 miners at Carls- bad, N. M., filed strike notice with the National Labor Relations Board in Washington. Operators have re- fused to grant an 1Sh cent an hour increase. The notice asked that Q strike vote be taken within two weeks.
 The President admitted that prospects of averting the maritime strike look dark and said he would use the Navy, Coast Guard and War Shipping Administration to keep ships sailing, If the one inde- pendent and six C.r.O. maritime unions walk out as scheduled two weeks from today.
 Claim He Is Prejudiced
 Spokesmen for the unions de- clared in 6 joint statement that MT. Truman had prejudiced their case Gin utter disregard of facts" The statement was issued-for all seven unions-by President Harry Bridges of the C.I,O. Iongshore- men and WarahouseSnen and Joseph Curran Ok the CLIO. National Mar itirne Union.
 The unions are seeking wage in- creaSes ranging from 9 to 36 cents an hour, Q 4O-hour week and an eight-hour day at sea and in port, increases in overtime pay and retro- activity of all wage increases to Oct. 1.
 Negotiations were scheduled to resume late today between union and shipowners' representatives.
 Negotiations in the hard coal dis pute were deadlocked. The miners. seek the same demands which were granted the soft coal workers under Government operation. The oper- ators contend they cannot pay an l8h cent hourly wage increase and g five-cent Q ton royalty on coal for Q health and welfare fund be. cause anthracite--a domestic heat Ing fuel--must compete in cost with other fuels.
 The miners struck two days ago, ignoring an operators plea for a truce with all concessions retro- active.
