Jap Women Are(asiinq
 Their voies
Flock 10 Polls from Farms, Big City Homes -0uf-
 numbering Men

TOKYO, April 10.-Confounding all political prophets, the women of Japan flocked from farms and from big-city homes to cast their first votes today in the nations first postwar election.
 By the end of the first hour they outnumbered male voters in surprisingly heavy turnouts in five rural communities around the cap- ital and were appearaing at the booths of Tokyo's major wards in increasing numbers.
 Many entered polling places with babies strapped to their backs Others left children in impromp- tu nurseries. In one big Tokyo la Dor ward, Shinagawa, a temporary nursery was overflowing with ba- bies by g a. m, two hours after the polls opened.
 By 10 o'clock, 40 percent of all eligible voters in rural Utsunomiya community had cast ballots-with women predominating. There was no indication ot trend. First reports of the count are expected late Thursday. Political experts earlier had fore cast victory for Conservatives, but with no single party winning a majority of the 468 diet seats at stake.

BIG LABOR
 STOppAGE IS ENDED
Is Reached Be- tween CI0 Union and h.
 terndtionaI Harvester
(BY THE ASSOCIATED pREss)

One. of the country's major pro- lcnged labor disputes, strike by 30,000 CIO workers in plants of the International Harvester Company the nations biggest maker of farm equipment, was settled today.
 Company and union officials, in conferences with Labor Department officials for the last 18 days seek ing to end the work stoppage which started last January 21, agreed on settlement terms today An early ratification of the terms by the workers would enable them to re- turn to their jobs in Il plants and resume production of badly needed farm machinery.
 Government officials hailed the settlement and expressed hope il would lead to agreements in labor disputes in other farm equipment plants.
 Terms Not Disclosed
 Terms of the new agreement were not disclosed, but several weeks ago the company and union had agreed on an 18 cents hourly wage increase which had tcen recommended ,by a fact finding board. The contract also provides a 10 percent general wage hike retroactive to last October l.
 As the Harvester settlement was announced, hopes faded for an ear- ly end of the 10-weeks old strike of 10000 employees at the Ameri- can Brass Company in Waterbury Conn, as negotiations between un- ion and management broke down
 The 100000 miners comprised about one-half of the 808,000 total number of workers idle throughout the country because of labor dis putes.

Government 10 Prosecute Foreign Officer on
 Espionage Charge

PORTLAND, Ore, April 10.--Ni- oolai Gregorovich Redin, Russian naval lieutenant charged with es- picnage against this country, agreed here today to return to Seattle for trial
 Appearing before the U. s. Con- missioner for preliminary hearing the 29-year-old Russian declared T am absolutely innocent" His at- tcrney, Irwin Goodman, said he did not object to removing. the case to Seattle.
 SEATTLE, April 10.-America' first postwar spy" case reached a new climax last night when a fed eral grand jury indicted Soviet It Nicolai Gregorovich Redin on five counts a few hours after the State Department in Washington disclos- ed it had rejected Russian re- quest that the case be dropped.
 The Soviet embassy made the re- quest April on the ground that Redin was innocent. The State Department replied the decision would be left with the Department of Justice.
 The grand jury indictments de- clared Redlin had obtained infor- nation concerning national defense, induced another to obtain plans pertaining to national defense and conspired to obtain and transmit to foreign government plans deal ing with national defense.
 Charges Made
 It charged the young Russian na- val lieutenant had sought. the in- formation with intent and reason to believe that the information 1. was to be used to the injury of the United States and to the ad- vantage of a foreign nation, to wit. Union of Soviet Socialist Re- publics."
 Justice Department officials said in Washington the case apparently was the first in United States his tory in which the government had prosecuted an officer of foreign power in peacetime.
 To SerUe Indictment
 Redin, who is 29, was in Portland Ore, awaiting a hearing at 10 a. m. today before the U. s. Com missioner. He was arrested March 26 by Federal Bureau of Inyestiga- tion officers who said he was about to board Soviet ship. The indictment was carried tc Portland last night by Chief Assis- tant U. s. Atty Allan Pomeroy who said it would eliminate the need for the hearing. U. s. Dist Judge John c. Bowen ordered an arraignment for 3 p. m. Monday in Seattle.

(BY JOHN n.. HrGHTowER)

NEW YORK, April 1o-United Nations delegation officials today forecast certain defeat for Russia $ proposal that the Security Council throw out the Iranian case, all though a rough debate appeared in store with the United States and Britain opposing the Soviet Union.
 Iran's opposition to the Russian proposal was announced officially to the council last night, but it probably will not tackle the issue until next Saturday or Monday. Meanwhile council members ar- ranged closed session today to discuss the troublesome question of where U. N. headquarters should be and, some officials said, to de- eide on the date of the next meet ing.
 Delegates Dissatisfied
 The headquarters question prom ised lively discussion. Several delegates say privately they are very dissatisfied with present ar engagements for meeting at Hunt CT College in the Bronx, and con- sideration has been given to moy- ing the whole outfit to huge mod ern factory building at Lake Success on Long Island.
 However, in the general atmo- sphere of restlessness produced by the arguments over the relative merits of the Bronx and Long Island there has been some con- pletely informal talk about talk ing the organization entirely away from New York.

 CURTAIN ON
 CONVENTION
Juneau Delegate Wins
 Battle for Seat on Cre- dentidIs Group

ANCHORAGE, April 10.-(Spec- ial to the Empire) The largest labor convention held in the Terri tory got underway here yesterday following a welcome address by newly-elected Mayor Francis Bow den, who is also President of tine Anchorage Retail Clerks Union. Forty delegates are attending this annual convention of the Alaska Territorial Federation of Labor (AFL).
 Frank Marshall, Federation Pres ident, made a brief opening speech requesting the introduction of the Building Trades Union into the AL aska Federation.
 The first skirmish occurred when Eugene Lockridge, of the Juneau Bartenders Local 869, moved that the body resolve itself into com- mittee of the whole to consider credentials of delegates. The mo- tion was defeated, 21 to IT. Follow ing the vote, Ed M. Gilkey, delegate of the Juneau Hotel and Restau- rant Employees Local 871, protest ed Marshall's appointment of the credentials committee. As re- suit, Gilkey won a place on that important committee.
 Another furry was caused when Gilkey requested that Senator Joe Green be permitted to address the convention The request was based on Greens having been chairman of the Senate's labor committee during the recently ended special session of the Alaska Legislature.
 Louise Weaver Miller, of the Ketchikan Teamsters local, pro- tested Greens appearance, saying the constitution of the Federation of Labor does not permit intro duction of politics into the body. The arrangements committee con- ceded that room might be found for Green before the convention ends.

EMPLOYERS GIVE BACKGROUND FOR
 SHIPPING STRIKE

History or the issues that have arisen between the Alaska locals of the ILWU and ship and dock companies resulting in tlgs tisiis of ships of the three major com panies plying to the Territory, is concisely presented in the follow ing statement released to Seattle and Alaska newspapers by the em- ploying companies:
 Vessels operated by these com panies as General Agents for the War Shipping Administration United States of America) are now strike bound in ports of Alaska where the longshoremen are affil- lated with the International Long, shoremen's and Warehousemen's Union (CIO), including the princi- pal ports of Ketchikan, Juneau and Seward. This condition does not obtain in ports where the long, shoremen are affiliated with the International Longshoremen's As- sociation tAFL).
 The hourly longshore rate of pay in Alaska ports under the jur- isdiction of the CIO equals or ex- ceeds that in effect at ports under the jurisdiction of the AFL. This rate in CIO ports is $126h straight time and S190 overtime except a straight time rate of sl20 per hour paid by local dock operators in Juneau only). In addition, penalties commencing at a minimum of 10 cents per hour are paid for hand ing various types of so-called pen- alty cargoes and 10 cents per hour for certain so-called skill classifi- cation of longshoremsn.
 "Lcngsllore work is performed at various hours of the day and night, including Sundays and holidays. The straight time rate is paid for the first six hours of work between 800 am. and 500 pm, Mondays through Saturdays tunless holi- day, when the overtime rate is paid), all other work is paid at the overtime rate, except under certain conditions when time and cne-half the overtime rate is paid.
 For many years the Alaska rate was 10 cents straight time and l5 cents overtime in excess of the rate paid to longshoremen on the Paci- fic Coast tincluding the port of Seattle). On May 23, 1945, Pacific Coast longshoremen were receiving Sl.10 straight time and $1.65 over time and Alaska longshoremen were receiving $1.20 straight time and S1.80 overtime. On that date the rate for Alaska longshoremen was increased to Is percent above Se- attle scale to the present rate of sI.26x straight time and Sl.90 overtime, retroactive to october l, l944 in Ketchikan and to January l8, l944 in Juneau and Seward. in accordance with a Directive Order of the War Labor Board pertaining to Alaska. The retroactive payment has been made in accordance with the Directive Order.
 "On November 4, l945 the rate for Pacific Coast Longshoremen was increased from s11o to $i.l5 straight time and from $l.65 to s1.72M overtime and on March l9 l946, the increase was made retro- active to October l, l944 in accord

BULLETIN--SEATTL April 10.-In an effort to settle the Alaska longshore strike. Ketch-
 ikan dock operators today wero
 preparing another proposal for presentation to the Interna-
 ti0nal Lcngshoremen and Ware housemen's Union, according to
 word received in Seattle.
 Though 1t is stated that negotia- tions for settlement of the long, shoremen's strike have collapsed, Juneau today was enjoying some respite from her greens famine" following unloading of the "cool room" cargo from the steamer North Sea.
 Only fresh fruits and vegetables about 25 tons of them--were dis charged from the Northland liner by local longshoremen, who follow cd the lead set in Ketchikan and Sitka in unloading the perish Ables." The "cool room was clean ed cut, but no refrigerated cargo or semi-perishables, such as eggs or meats, were handled.
 Local merchants reported today that loss of produce through spoil- age during the oyer-long stay aboard the North Sea averaged about 20 percent. Lettuce was the hardest-hit item; lettuce spoilage aI1)uilting to about IS percent. Only one vessel nov remains in Alaska waters with perishables still unalscharged--the Alaska Trans pcrtation Company vessel Taku, which has a considerable quantity of green stuffs aboard for Juneau and which has now returned to Ketchikan from Skagway. She is expected to remain at Ketchikan indefinitely.
 Collapse Reported
 Meanwhile. last night at Seattle, Steve Glumaz. International Repre- sentative for the striking Interna- tional Longshoremen's and Ware nousemen's union tCIO). declared that proposed arbitration of the longshore strike in Alaska had col- lapsed at Ketchikan. tKetchikan currently is the key port in strike negotiations There the Ketchikan Waterfront Employers Association is representing ship owners and local dock operators for all Alaska ports)
 Gluncaz said the plans fell through when employers withdrew" an of fer made early in the tie-up to pay base wage of $l.32 per hour pend- ing final decision on the wage and overtime dispute.
 He said the lcngshoremen had agreed to return to work pending arbitration, under the operators previous offer to pay the $l.32 scale until settlement was reached.
 Also at Seattle, steamship opera tors said they had received no late information from their Alaska agents concerning the dispute which has tied up all Alaska shipping.
 Proposal Refused
 Early this morning. the Cover ncr's Office here received the fol- lowing wire from Glumaz:
 Unions proposal to accept em- ployers' offer of s1.32 straight time and $198 overtime payable immed- lately and submit other matters in dispute under War Labor Board directive of August IS. 1945 to arr bitration has been refused by em- ployers.
 Employers have now withdrawn previous wage offer as outlined in your message of April 4. Employ CTS in direct violation of agreement with Alaska longshoremen.
 Unions proposal to arbitrate other issues outside basic wages was based on concession to resume shipping. Union cannot accept em- ployers' counter proposal of April S."
