Coal Strike Settlement Not Pressed
 Detroit TFcnsit

The coal strike appeared today to be aS far from settlement as 1t was when 1t began q week ago.
 Tn other labor disputes, however, buses and streetcars rolled in De- troit for the first time in 6 weef with settlement of a transportation strike, and only one minor tssua remained to be settled in the Tn. ternational Harvester walkout.
 Settlement of the Detroit strike reduced the number of idle workefT In disputes across the country closa to 100000. Other major develop ments were;
 l. Attempts to avert q threat ened strike against the Cincin- natl Gas & Electric Company continued in Washington.
 }. The National Labor Rela-
 tions Board announced 1t had granted bargaining rights to sup ervisory employees who were mem bers of labor union auxiliaries.
 Coal mine operators hoped that the Government would take more active part in attempts to settle the nationwide strike of 100000 soft coal miners. Government Concili- ator Paul W. Fuller had played a passive role thus far in the show down between the industry and John L. Lewis United Mine Work CTS, (A.FL).
 Many operators, however, pre- dicted that little progress would be made this week. They believed Lewis wanted more time to i'm prove his bargaining position, who has yet to place specific demanuS on the conference table. Operators admitted that he held the strategic initiative.
 In the Detroit transit strike drivers manned their buses and streetcars at a. m. (ES.T) to end the week-long walkout which de- prived 100000 residents of public transportation.
 A decision to end the strike wa reached at mass meeting attended by about 2,OOO of the 5.200 stTikex who approved overwhelmingly ac- ceptance of 15-cent hourly waet increase. They also approved arhi- tration of an issue over pay for 20-Ininute daily checkout period fof drivers.
 Tn the International Harvestei strike, which has tied up production in 10 of the company's nidwesterE farm machinery plants for 78 days negotiations on a new contract were scheduled today. The com pany and the CI.O. United Farm Equipment Workers had agreed on an l8-eent hourly raise.

 Mrs. Barr, after hearing that a well-bred animal was about to walk the last mile, acted on a hunch, drove with her husband to the pound. and was joyously greeted by Claude who briskly performed his repertoire of tricks to convince the warden they were his rifhtful owners.
