from the oomph-oomph of a bass

NAL permission for two Negro men
to operate a decent and respect

is known as the Hut, located near
the building housing the offices and

ton that the cafe may be operated
so long as its management keeps
it in order with no sale of i:ltoxl'
eating beverages being made al
the establishment.
No action was taken on the oper'
alton of the Elks club since it was

For Same Pay Boost
Granted AFL Men
BY the Assoeioted Pres,

A new labor storm breWed on the
Nations water fronts today be-
cause ship operators gave higher
wage boost to AFL seamen than to
CIO sailors.
The CIO-dominated Committee
for maritime Unity already has an
nounced that it will press forward
for the same wages" Harry Lunde-
berg, president of the AFL Sailors
Union of the Pacific, negotiated with
West Coast shippers.
Mr.. Lundeberg won $3.50
monthly pay boost for able bodied
seamen. Joseph Curran, whose CIO
National Maritime Union is a GNU
member, had less than two weeks
earlier settled for a $3.50 increase
for that type of deck worker. Both
the AFL and CIO won the same re-
ductions in working hours.
Mr.. Curran's terms already have
been approved by the Government
which owns most of the Merchant
Marine vessels. Mr.. Lundebergs s
terms still must be approved by the
War Shipping Administration and
by the National Wage Sterilization
Board.
VISA officials said privately they
feared AFL men will quit their
ships II their new contract is not
approved and that, If 1t is approved
CIO seamen may walk out on their
jobs unless they get the higher
wages given the AFL.
