The loneshoremen served notice yesterday that they will come out for higher wages January Hess than month away In other words 1t IS very unilKey that the present prolonged shipping tieup will be over before we're right back where started from when the strike first halted shipping to Alaska.
 Even if the ships would start moving today, It would be after January before the backlog of freight could be moved
 This means that outside of relief ships. hauling on food and other items assed in the relief category We can hardly expect anything by boat for some time to come
 At present dispute with the checkers holos up the vessels The ongshoremen have served notice they will take up where the checkers leave off, and after the longshoremen satisfied it will be time for the sailors to go out again Silly isn't it? It has become a circle All of the employed in the shipping industry are cut after higher wages but no one IS working even though better wages have been secured
 Meanwhile Alaska is whitening on the vine. Our government sits idly by while all this is happening and does nothing.
 It is certain that unless some way is found soon of shipping to Alaska the tons and tons Of freight piled up on the Seattle docks, many of Alaskas indus tries small and large will collapse and more Alaskans will join the unemployment rolls every day
 The only answer to 1t is legislation by Congress

Linking the Pacific Area
Honolulu Star-Bulletin)

NftOnOluiu oldT- -bullellL)
 How the airplane has speeded up transportation for people subject of frequent comment. We are accustomed to welcoming in Honolulu friends left New York only two days before and Los angeles, San Francisco Portland or Seattle only 10 to IS hours previously.
 It is not always remembered that things travel with equal speed illustrator of that is the arrival on the desk of the editor of The Star-Buetin of a copy of Construction World magazine published at Vancouver B. C. only two days after it was put in a mail box in the British Columbia city.
 Construction World was established at Vancouver by Miller Freeman of Seattle, who heads large publication firm that prints and distributes many magazines principally in the trade field"
 Construction World was established by MT Free man as a medium of independent discussion of the problems of the entire North Pacific region
 As che of the many energetic citizens of the Northwest States and British Columbia and Alaska, MT. Freeman believes that the huge North Pacific area with its vast land and in the seas is at last to be opened up
 The copy of Construction World which has come the editors desk tells of several major steps in this program by which private enterprise cooperating with government. is turning a wilderness into inhabited and productive regions.
 An important extension of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway construction of a road to Atlin and the practical being made of the famous Alcan Highway among the items of interest in the maga- zine.
 Hawaii has a natural interest in this development of the Northern Pacific Alaska is sister IeIrItory of Hawaii and currently in a comradely competitive race to see which first will be admitted to statehood
 Prior to World War II the commodouS, often luxurious ships of the Canadian Pacific and the Can adian Australasan lines passed through Honolulu.
 Hundreds of residents of Hawaii used to so to the Pacific Northwest States, to British Columbia and Alaska on vacation trips Simultaneously hundreds of residents of Washington Oregon and British Columbia and an increasing number from Alaska, coming to Hawaii as pleasure travellers
 The war linked Hawaii closely with the North Pacific. The attacks on Dutch Harbor and Pearl Halbor part of the gigantic and ruthless scheme of Japan to conquer the Pacific Coast. At those moments of attack the barrier of distance be- tween Hawaii and Alaska eliminated, so far as indignation, sympathy and readiness to help victim ized neighbor could go.
 But the peace that follows World War II will tie the Middle Pacific and the North Pacific together more closely than the swift messengers of war The day is not distant when frequent airpane service between communities and increased trade will follow increased passenger travel
 The North Pacific and the Middle Pacific mutually affected by each others problems and mutually benefited by each others progress.

U. S. STEEL SAYS NO

Moses took this up with top U. S. Steel officials in New York and two days later. again met with Lewis secretly. The answer was that roth U. s. Steel and Wall Street were split wide open on any possible deal Benjamin Hairless, the corporations president, was in favor of the Lewis proposal, but Irving Olds, chairman of U. s. Steel opposed any separate deal with the miners.
 Meanwhile, Lewis kept contact ing other big operators. Some oi his contacts were through his UNIV subordinateS-TOm Kennedy, Percy Tetlow, and John T Jones. fi Simultaneously, Cyrus Eaton, working from Suite 5l6 of the Carl ton Hotel here tCordell Eulls old apartment talked to Reconversion Director John Steelman via the White House private phone line to Florida Eaton also called White House court jester George Allen, a director Of Republic Steel, who was in New York He made the same proposition to each of them namely, that Lewis would settle with the operators if the Govern ment would quash it's legal proceed ings
 Steelman and Allen consulted privately by phone, then called Eaton back, told him they thought they could sell this line to Presi- dent Truman, provided Lewis signed a contract guaranteeing un- interrupted coal production until the spring of 1948. Truman want ed a guarantee of l8 uninterrupted months of coal production, but Lewis flatly turned thumbs down on this proposal He boomed the answer over the telephone. How ever Eaton made Lewls agree that this was a wedge in the Govern ments thinking and the basis for negotiation.

 a deal, so Eaton became his liaison man. Eaton, whose Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad has vital in- terest i'll coal and who has suc- cessfully influenced power politics. immediately got busy. Lewis told Eaton he was willing to make a Cleal but that he wanted to force t.,e Government to postpone its leg injunction and contempt pro ceedings against him
 Lewis also held two secret meet ings with U. S. Steel's Moses, who operates more captive coal mines than anyone else in the world. At the first, he proposed that the cap tive mines sign an agreement with the UNIV which would keep the steel mills going This would also have kept 50,0O0 miners on the job and would have provided an open wedge for further negotiations with the entire coal industry. Big Steel traditicnaly sets the wage and price pattern for all coal

U. s. WILLii;G TO POSTPONE

NltdllMIlliC, liit NJONtlilHlClib " en gave Lewis an unnoticed tip eff that it might be willing to compromise the court proceedings when Lewis showed up before Judge Gcldshorough last Monday. As sistant Attorney General John Son. nett, handling the Governments case, told the court the Govern ment would not object to a post ponement of the legal cases against Lewis if the miners went back to work. This was Lewis's cue to go rack into frantic. private nego- tiations with the operators to swing a new contract.
 This finagling was Gone largely behind the back of Secretary oi the Interior Krug, the man who is supposed to be in charge of coal for the Government. This high lights the secret backing and fill ing of Government officials re- garding Lewis ever since the coal strike even threatened. At one time, Attorney General Tom Clark reused to prosecute Lewis at Krug's request and for some days a bitter argument ragged between the Justice and Interior Depart nents over legal proceedings.
 On one occasion, three-hour argument ragged back and forth be- tween the Attorney General and Warner Gardner, Assistant Secre- tary cf the Interior. over legal strategy, with all kinds of names turning the atmosphere of Clark's office blue
 mterior Department officials pri- vately charge Attorney General Clark with being too much inn pressed with the legal ability of Lewis's chief lawyer, Welly K. Hopkins, who went to school with Clalk in the Justice Department. They also say Hopkins Tor a time had hypnotized Clark, and that was why the Attorney General was loath to prosecute.
 However, President Truman has been strongly behind Secretary Hrug and believes that there must be a showdown with John L. Lew is. At one Cabinet conference, both RecCnversion Director Steelman and the Attorney General took a position against Krug, but Truman emphatically supported the latter
 KIug has also had some fiery ses- sions with Lewis personally, which haven't leaked out to the press.
 His last session was shortly be- fore the strike, at which the Sec retary Of the Interior tried to per suade the beetle-browed boss oi the miners to agree to a 60-day strike truce, while the miners ne- gotiated direct with the operators Lewis. however, refused. lowing Ais tCp in rage, he charged Krue with holding secret meetings with he operators without his know ledge
 Today of course, Lewis is doing just exactly what he then refused to do namely, holding frantic backstage talks with the operators whom he previously spurned Al this earlier conference. however Krug handed Lewis a written mem orandum for proposed strike

 Krug had earlier persuaded Charles O'Neill, head of the North ern coal operators, to agree to ne- gotiate direct with Lewis. upon which the Government would turn back the mines to private oper- ation.

Except for a surplus of rainfall,
the year 1945 was just about aver
age so far as its weather was con-
cerned, Russell S. Banks, local OBJ
server for the u. S. Weather Bur-
eau, reports.
A total of 41.66 inches of rain
fell during the year, he said. This
is 4.24 inches more than the 1922
inches average for the past %
years. This is just the opposite Of
1914, which had a shortage of 8.07
inches from the average.
Average temperature durin &
1945 was 491 degrees, while the 20
year average is 51.2 degrees. The
year 1914, by comparison, had an
average temperature of 50.2 de-
grees, Mr. Banks said,

SEEK COLEMAN AS
ATTORNEY GENERAL
County Prosecutor, However
Says He Won't Run Now

Prominent Democratic leaders
throughout Ohio are approaching
William L. Coleman, Union county
prosecuting attorney, to become a
candidate for attorney general of
Ohio at the Democratic primary e.
lection in May.
The Ohio Magazine, popular
periodical devoted to affairs of this
state, has twice boosted Mr.. Cole
mans candidacy. In its issue of
June, 1945, the magazine said:
William L. Coleman, able young
prosecutor of Union county and
one of the most popular younger
Democrats nthe state, is expect
ed to be candidate for attorney
general. "
Again, in its September, 1915,
issue, the magazine said:
Friends of William L. Cole
man of MarySville, Democratic
prosecutor of Union County, have
expressed pleasure with the re-
SponSe to recent newspaper stories
saying that Coleman is expected
to become a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Attorney
General.
They say that Democratic lead
erS throughout the state are being
attracted to Coleman because of
his great popularity in rural Ohio
and insist that his being elected
prosecutor on the Democratic tick
ct and also being chosen chairman
of the Democratic committee in
rock-ribbed Republican Union
County impresses leaders yer the
state"
Concerning his candidacy, Mr.,
Coleman said:
"While l am flattered by and
highly appreciative of this interest
shown in me, l do not feel that ]
am in position at present to be-
come candidate for such an import
ant position. My law practice is
such that l do not feel like leav-
ing it, and l still intend to carry
out my obligation to the citizens
of Union county by serving out the
three years remaining on my pre-
sent term as prosecutor.
