Strike Set for June IS
May Tie Up All Coastal
And Lake Shipping
BY the Associoted Press

SAN FRANCISCO. May "a
tieup of the Nations coastal and
Great Lakes ports June Is was
threatened today by joint action
OF seven maritime unions.
The unions yesterday voted to
carry out this country's first ma
tional shipping strike unless agree
ment IS reached with employers by
that date.
Higher wages and better work
ing conditions were the issues which
moved union delegates, in conven-
ton here, to approve the 1901 am.
June Is deadline. The maritime
unions represent $4,000 workers.
They have been demanding up to
80 per cent wage increases.
Strike Call Drafted.
The strike call, drafted by a 33-
man committee of delegates from
seven unions, charged:
The shipowners have adopted a
vicious, arrogant and unyielding at
titude to the modest demands of
the maritime unions. 1t is their
purpose to repeat the scandal which
followed the last war by securing
the great merchant fleet at little or
mo cost to themselves, and to scrap
a great part of the fleet, causing
mass unemployment in the indus
try in their greedy search for
profits"
Shipping officials could not be
reached for comment
The strike call is not final. The
convention voted the decision be
referred to the membership of the
| seven participating unions. But OBJ
servers predicted approval would be
routine matter.
Affected by the action are: 10000
sea going members of the National
Maritime Union; $4,000 longshore-
men from the International Long
shoremen's and Warehousemen's s
Union, 1900 members of the Ma
rlne Engineers Beneficial AsSocia-
ton, $4,000 marine cooks and stew
aros, 10000 marine firemen, 5000
inland Boatsmen'S Union members.
5000 radio operators belonging to
the American Communications As
Sociation.
Most Belong to CIO.
All are CIO unions except the
Marine Firemen's Union, who are
unaffiliated
The convention voted that any
organization may accept a satisfac-
tory agreement with it's employers
during the next five weeks but all of
the unions must have reached such
agreements by June Is or all will
carry out the strike.
If any one union doesn't have an
agreement by June Is there'll be a
national strike and we'll all be in
it," Pacific Coast Longshore Leader
Harry Bridges said.
The convention voted, however
that all troops and relief ships will
De worked during the strike.

For Striking u. 5. Soldier
By the Associoted Press

CHAM, Germany, May 9.-An
American military government off,
cial announced last night that a
sentence of eight months at hard
labor had been meted out by an
AMG court here to a Jewish dis
placed person for striking an Amer
lean soldier during scuff1e between
displaced persons and GIs in front
of an enlisted mems club.
Eleven Jews were arrested after

The Cham Jewish Committee said
the arrests resulted from several
youths singing Palestinian songs and
exercising in a gymnasium.

The Key West U.S.O. provides
an object lesson in the building
of an institution. It's guiding pr'n-
ciple has been persistence in the
execution of its work. Service
men have come to rely on its
services, for they have found it
dependable at all times, and in
every situation.
Without the U.S.O., civilians
and servicemen are isolated from
one another. Through it, service
men are brought in contact with
the community, through its sight
seeing trips, dances, and a variety
of other activities. Civilian groups
could in turn learn to know the
servicemen by sponsoring U.S.O.
activities, though the acquaint-
ance may be gradual and require
some patience and persistence on
their part. But because the U.S.O,
was patient and persistent, it has
become an institution indisperlsi-
BILE so long as servicemen are
present in the community. When
it announced program, it car
ried it through. If it advertised
a class in dancing, or a concert
were held, even if at first only
two or three individuals attended.
The U.S.O. has done its part. 1t
has served as an intermediary be-
tween the armed service and the
community, but the civilian
groups and organizations in turn,
must step up at least half way. to
acknowledge the introduction.
In other cities throughout the
nation, an army of volunteers
arose from among the civilian
population, anxious to be of aid
to their local U.S.O. These vol
unteers enjoyed their work, and
the servicemen appreciated their
cooperation. A real community
of interest and understanding be-
tween civilians and the armed
forces was established. Individ-
uals prepared cakes and Other
eatableS for refreshments, or do
mated equipment. Others were
willing to work in the offices. In
many cities the surplus of volun-
teers constituted a problem, but
the servicemen felt at home and
respected the community which
displayed such spirit.
But for some reason, in Key
West the U.S.O. has experienced
a shortage, rather than a surplus,
of volunteers. Its achievements
have been almost entirely a result
of the efforts of, its regular pa d
staff. s =.
Perhaps this is because civilians
do not realize the general benefit
which would accrue from their CO.
operation. Yet, first of all it
should be obvious that if service
