 THREATENED
 BY STRIKE
Nation Already Has 74O,- 900 Idle as Result of
 Labor Disputes
(By THE ASSOCIATED pREss)

.
 SiYty-five thousand employees of the Railway Express Agency, Inc, their union president predicted to- day, swill strike at 12:01 am. Fri day, Fin a dispute over wages. He said express service will be paralyz- ed unless some steps be taken immfdiately."
 President George M. Harrison of the AFL Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, said in Cin- cinnati that the trend of the strike vote in progress since last Friday. indicated that "the employees are in no mood to brook any further delay of settling their demands for wage increases
 Harrison said the strike was or dered after the company refused to grant the 16 cents an hour wage increase recently awarded railroad workers by a national mediation board He said the board would be advised of the unions strike vote.
 The threat of the nationwide walkout was the major develop ment on the labor front as govern ment officials continued efforts to settle the country's main dispute, the strike of 100000 soft coal min CTS. Leaders in the dispute appar- ently paid no heed to UNRRA's ap- peal for partial resumption of coal production to help speed fam inc relief shipments.
 Tlse 13-day work stoppage by the AFL United Mine Workers has made idle an additional 100000 workers in related industries, boosting the total idle because of labor disputes to about 740,000.

Presidential Candidate in " Philippines Skips as
 Voters Go to Polls

MANILA, April 23. - A rumor that he might be Kidnapped sent presidential candidate Manuel Rox- as scurrying into hiding today as nearly 3O00,0oO Filipinos quietly elected leaders to guide them in the first years of their independence.
 The grounds of Roxas' residence were ominous with machine guns and a detachment of the Philip pine army, but the city was unu- sually quiet. His secretary, Alfre- do Jacinto, explained that Roxas was in hiding because he heard three men from the Province of Bulacan" planned to kidnap him.
 Roxas, who IS President of the Territorial Senate, earlier had con- ceded that President Sergio Os- mena would win four provinces, but claimed victory for himself by 300,- 900.
 Reports reaching Malacanan Pal ace from throughout the islands said the situation was quiet as the polls closed early tonight.
 Newspapers estimated that more than TO percent of this city's 100,- 000-plus regiStrants voted.

Millions
 Children in
 Need of Food
Adviser fo Herbert Hoover Makes His Report on European Conditions

CAIRO, April 23-Maurice Pate, adviser to Herbert Hoover on child food problems, said today that be- tween 20 and 30 million children in Europe urgently need food-'the most poignant human problem in Europe today"
 He estimated that two to three hundred million dollars are needed for an adequate supplementary feeding program in Europe and recommended that it consist of at least one meal daily of 600 calories.
 Pate, New York investment banker who headed the Po1sh child feeding program after the first world war, surveyed current child health and food conditions in Poland, Finland. Sweden, Nor way, England. the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark. Germany. Aus tria, Yugoslavia and Greece.
 The worst conditions were found in Poland, which has the greatest needs" he said in a report sub mitted to Hoover, honorary chair man of the U. s. Famine En.er- gency Committee.
 He said in a press conference that the situation in Germany is practically the same as in Poland, but added: The Germans are tet- ter organizers and are making the best of what they get"

CLOTHING
 SCARCITY
 TAKEN UP
Government Agency Get fling Busy on Material
 for Cheaper Suits

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-Ttc mems suit shortage moved up for top attention today as the govern ment counted hopefully on new emergency measures to help eaee another clothing scarcity-in low cost cotton apparel.
 The Civilian Production Admin istration began analyxing reports from 80 manufacturers on why output of inexpensive suits fell nearly a million garments shy of the 3.500,000 goal set for the first three months of this year.
 From this spot check, the agency expects to learn in the next few days just what new steps may have to be taken to bring production up to schedule.
 The survey is being made at the insistence of Maj Gen. Graves B. Erskine, chief of the Retraining and Unemployment Administra- tion. Recently Erskine contended that many veterans had to turn down jobs because they could not find proper clothing.
 On the cotton clothing front. tke government turned last night to combination of price increases and restoration of wartime production controls in the latest of a series of actions to obtain more yarn and fabrics for shirts, underwear. pa- Jamas. dresses and work clothing.
 The aim is 80 percent incrcass in output of low-cost garments.
 OPA ordered reinstatement May 1 of spindle freeze" which ap- plies to machines producing more than 20 percent of the nations cotton yarn. Under the order, which had been dropped last Aug ust, spindles diverted to output of less essential yarn must be turned back to important types produced at the end of l945.
 And to make 1t easier. OPA granted five percent incentive increase in price ceilings for cot- ton yarn needed for inexpensive garments.

The W ashing ion Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - There was an important secret conference be- tween Secretary of State James Byrnes and four Senate leaders just before the State Department finally announced its change to friendlier Argentine policy.
 The four Senators were: Tom Connally of Texas, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Con- fnittee; Walter George of Georgia; Wallace White, Senate Republican Leader; and Warren Austin of Yer mont, also Republican.
 Tn order to avoid the press, the meeting took place at Blair House, the mansion across from the State Department reserved for entertain ing visiting potentates. Secretary Byrnes arrived especially armed for the fray. Thinking that the Sena- tors wanted to query him about Russia, he brought portfolio fill ed with Russian data.
 When he started to talk on Rus sia, however, Senator Connally stopped him.
 Just minute said the gentle man from Texas. We want to talk to you ibout Argentina
 Whereupon the Senators express ed the vigorous opinion that a con- additionally elected government in Argentina deserved U. s. recogni- ton, and further intimated that if the State Department didn't re- sume full diplomatic relations there might be some vigorous statements on the Senate floor.

STATEMENT fSSUED

| The following statement was is- sued this afternoon by the repre- sentatives of the Alaska Marine Workers Union which explains the present situation:
 This Union, as successor to Alas ka Salmon Purse Seiners Union (AFD and Alaska Native Brother hood, has all the rights, privileges and duties of the cannery workers contracts of those two organiza- tions with Alaska Salmon Indus try. Inc. at all points in South east Alaska.
 Upon careful legal advice both in Seattle and Juneau, we consider that we are bound by such con- tracts until the cessation of hos tilities is proclaimed by President Truman, which proclamation has not yet occurred. While we be- lieve that there are inequities in the contracts which both parties are now peacefully trying to reconcile, yet we will evidence our good union responsibility to Alaska and to our members by continuing to ob- serve the cannery workers contracts. This. of course, includes claiming the benefit of the ''escalator' clause providing for a 10 percent increase in 1946.
 All AMWU locals have been in- structed to disregard FTA-CIC picket lines wherever found. and to begin preseason work immed- lately. It is expected that such policy will cause considerable clash in the Ketchikan area but at other points bona fidc FrA-CIO mem bership is so small as to be negli- giblc.
 The Alaska Marine Workers Union AFL is exclusively an Alas ka Union working for the benefit of Alaska and it's population. A strike at this time is extremely damaging for it stops all cannery improvements in housing and sani- tation, such as are extensively need ed and planned by canneries. A de- lay now Is not a delay of few weeks but is delay of year. FTA-CIO striking at this time plac- es the entire burden on Alaskans and none on themselves"

ALASKA SHIPPING TIED UP BY TICKETS
Claims Alaska Cargo Is NofDistharqed Because
 (I0pitkefs Interfering

The following statement, sign ed by w. c. Arnold, Managing Di- rector of the Canned Salmon In- dustry. Inc, was received by the Empire today
 The Alaska Salmon Industry re- ceived word today that cargo is not being discharged in Southeast Alas ka ports because of a picket line established by the CIO Resident Cannery Workers of Southeast Alas ka.
 This is the first intimation to the Industry that any dispute ex- ists with reference to the CIO res ident workers in the Southeast Alaska canneries.,
 "The contract between the in- dustry and these workers is still in effect and provides for an auto matic increase in wages for the l946 season.
 No request or demand has been made for a change in the terms of that contract.
 There have been no negotiations and no request for negotiations.
 The earliest canning date in Southeast Alaska is July 5 and 1t will be approximately 75 days be- fore any of these workers can go on the job.
 "The inference is clear that the dispute which is preventing the discharge of vessels in Ketchikan and Juneau and possibly other Alaskan town was inspired by the International Officers of the Can nery Workers in order to protect Aeir untenable position in the port of Seattle where they are picketing commercial steamship lines with whom they have no controversy
