Maritime Men
Warned by U. 5,
To End Dispute
Navy Set to Act;
Form Tool Strike
Pact Demanded
BY the Assoeioied Press

The Government posted stern
warnings today that it wants the
maritime and farm equipment
labor disputes settled - and
quickly.
With the Navy repeatedly ready to
step in Secretary of Labor SchWel-
lenbach told ship operators and
union leaders alike that this country
cannot permit the threatened mer-
chant marine strike. 1t would, he
said, block International trade and
cut off the flow of food to famine
areas.
Hence, the cabinet officer declared,
he intends to keep both sides in con-
slant session here in an effort to
reach an agreement before the June
Is strike date set by CIO Maritime
and Longshore Workers in Atlantic,
Pacific and Gulf ports.
Threatens Plant Seizure.
At the same time the Secretary
cautioned the j. l. Case and Allis-
Chalmers farm implement COM
panies that unless they made a
real effort" to reach an agreement
with their $4,000 striking workers
by weeks end, he will ask President
Truman to seize the companies nine
plants.
we need farm equipment to
plant a crop to take care of the
needs of the world" Mr.. Schwellen-
bach told news conference at
which he discussed both disputes.

Capitol Hill, but the lawmaker who
disclosed it asked not to be named.
Earlier, Senator Radcliffe, Demo-
crat, of Maryland told reporters
after White House conference
yesterday that ''the ships are going
to run, you can bet on that"
May End Tomorrow.
Senator Barkley of Kentucky,
Democratic leader, asserted later
there were reasons to believe that
the dispute might be settled by to-
morrow, but he did not amplify that
remark.
Seven unions are poised to call
out 214,000 Seamen and stevedores
on June Is if their demands for a
80 per cent wage increase, 40-hour
week and retroactive pay are not
met by then.
They reiterated their demands at
a second Government-sponso ne
gotiating session last night, pre-
sided over by United States Con-
ciliation Service Chief Edgar l.
Warren. A third session was set
for today.
Ship owners have baked at talk
ing with a 15-man negotiating COM
mittee representing all seven unions.
The owners contend they want to
talk only with the unions represent
ing their own employees. But the
union committe maintains it is en-
powered to speak for all seven
unions.
Send Junior Executives.
Discussing the farm implement
strikes, Mr.. SchWellenbach said both
the Case and Allis-C Chambers COM
panies had sent only junior exec
utIves who could do nothing but
say no to all Government settle
ment suggestions. Some of the
plants have been idle six months.
II he recommends seizure, Mr..
SchWellenbach said, he also will ask
Mr.. Truman to authorize the seizing
agency to 60 ahead and negotiate
new contracts with striking workers,
the procedure the Government fol-
lowed in signing contract yester-
day with John l.. Lewis United
Mine Workers.

Federal Employment
Up 1870, Reversing
Postwar Trend
Net Increase of 376
Brings Woshineton's
TotoI to $4,000
By Joseph Young

Federal employment increased
last month for the first time
since the end of the war, it was
revealed today by Civil Service
Commission figures showing an
increase of 1870 workers on the
Government payroll over the
preceding month.
Total Federal employment is now
2,393,694, compared to 2,379,384 en-
ployes the preceding month. In
Washington, the number of Gov
ernment workers increased by 376
during April to total of 237 900.
The main reason for the increase
was the 1876 jump in personnel of
the rapidly expanding Veterans
Administration, but top Federal Off
cials expressed concern over the
failure of wartime agencies as well
as other bureaus to reduce their
staffs sufficiently to Offset the VA
gain in employment.
Explanations Asked.
Agency heads have been asked
for explanations regarding the
sloWness of the observation-disclosures
program, it was learned.
The upward trend in Federal en-
ployment emphasizes the impor-
tance Of the reduction-in-force
amendment of the Downey-Jackson
Pay Act of 1916, which seeks to re-
duce Government personnel to ap-
proximately 100000 employees by
July l, 1947 by placing employment
ceilings on Federal agencies.
Although the ceiling does not pre-
clude the possibility that the en-
ployment figures will not be met
since Congress cannot bind itself to
future legislation and its appropri-
ations committees can still eXpend
funds for greater Federal personnel
if the occasion warrants it, sponsors
of the amendment say it will have
a psychological effect on agencies
to make them reduce payrolls and
eliminate unnecessary waste of
manpower.
Fixes Responsibility.
The amendment does have some
teeth, inasmuch as deliberate vio-
lation of its provisions by agency
heads would subject them to dismis-
sal, fines or Imprisonment under
provisions of the Antidefciency
Act.
For months, an economy bloc in
Congress led by Senator Byrd, Dem
ocrat, OF Virginia has been ex-
tremely critical of the sloWness of
the Governments reduction = in =
force program.
When the war ended in August
there were 2,851, 900 Federal en-
ployes and during the next four
months there were sharp reductions
in personnel. However, in January
the monthly dismissals dropped to
only 5000 and the following month
saw only 3,764 Government workers
lose their jobs. The number of en-
ployes dismissed during March rose
to 22,837, only to see an increase in
personnel take place during April
POstOffce Adds 11,182.
Several times since August the
number of Federal employees in
Washington has risen slightly, but
until last month the overall total of
Government workers went down.
ward every month.
Some of the agencies increasing
their staffs during April were
Treasury, 1,443; Post Office, 1882,
and War Assets Administration, l.
739.
The War Department decreased
its force by only 5,691, while the
Navy cut its staff by 1921 en-
ployes.

said, adding it can only be created

Paraphrasing the words of Lin.

The general recalled that the Ma.

diplomacy, at a cost of the health
ambitions and lives of men who
bore those arms.
The span of our Nations life has
become the chain of all their lives,

Hedging with a couple of "ifs,"
some Congress members began to
speculate today that the Capitol
storm over strikes may not pro-
duce a single new labor law.
The hotly disputed draft section
already has been ripped out of Pres
ident Truman's emergency bill.
There were too many uncertain
ties fer fiat predictions, but the pos
sibility of complete blow-over was
being widely if privately talked.
Settlement of the soft coal strike
obviously has taken off the main
heat.

ENTRY PORT FOR

Snead Reports Favorable
Action On His Return
From Washington

establishment of a full-time port
n entry at Elkin to replace the
sub.station now being operated
there was forecast by E. C. Snead
assistant collector Of customs of the
North Carolina district, upon his
return from Washington yester-
day.
snead said that the authorization
ot the Treasury department was
practically assured in talks with
officials OF the department late
Friday.
The sub station was established
in Elkin to handle large shipments
Of imported wool for the Chatham
Woolen mills there, under the Win
ston-Salem Port of Entry, Snead
sajd. Since opening the sub-station,
collections from bonded wool ship
ments have nearly doubled the nor
nal revenue at the Winston-Salem
port placing an unusual burden
nm the personnel of that station.
VIZ 49,
In order to place the load of
import revenue work properly, he
declared, the logical move was to
request that the Elkin station be
placed on a full-port basis. This
the Commissioner of Customs has
agreed to do upon request. He
added the local office will make the
request Immediately.
Snead reported further that the
request made by the local office
earlier in the year FOR expansion
Of the Port of Entry area here
was in the process of being ap-
proved, and would be completed
in the very near future. The re-
quest covered all port facilities in
the Wilmington area, he said.
This area would include all faci-
lities where foreign shipping Of

in foreign trade might dock to load
