N Q -S [ RIKE PLEDGE IS
 NOW SOUGHT
Viliory Over Lewis May Discourage Strikes in
 Other Key Industries
By NORMAN WALKER

WASHINGTON, Dec 9 The Government pushed for an iron clad no-strike pledge in key indus tries today in the wake of it's vic tory over John L. Lewis in the coal strike
 Officials opened the drive ill the hope that the Administration's handling of the mine shutdown might persuade other unions to seek peaceful settlement of labor dis putes in vital industries or risk painful punitive measures.
 The initial no-strike pledge ef- fort was directed at the public utility field Representatives of unions and management in the gas power, light and municipal transportation industries were sum mened to meeting to consider a plan for voluntary arhitration of disputes without resort to strikes.
 The conference was arranged by a Labor Department Advisory Com  mittee composed of representatives of the AFL, CIO National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers and U. s. Chamber of Commerce
 Additional peace meetings in other industries where strikes could imperil the national economy are planned socn by the committee, which functions under auspices ol the Labor Department.
 Some labor leaders conceded pri- vately meanwhile that the Admin istration $ stand against Lewis may discourage another round of strikes in the steel, automobile and similar major industries which have con- tract agreements ending in the next few months.
 These leaders noted that as long as the Smith -Connally War Labor Disputes Act remains in effect President Truman has the power to seize plants or industries where strikes are ill progress or threat ened.

Gasoline Flames Start Dis .asirous Blaze in Sas-
 katoon in Canada

SASKATOON, Sask., Zee. g. Gasoline flames which the fire chief said moved like solid wall' swiftly turned the Barry Hotel in to an inferno before dawn Sunday. killing Il persons and injuring IS.
 The fire was the worst in Sas- katchewan history and the worst in Canada since the Queens Hotel fire in Halifax in 1899 when 28 died.
 A can of gasoline, inexplicably placed beside the kitchen range, appeared to have caused the holo- cause. Fred Fries, waiter, said the cock called him to t he kitchen, where he found the gas range blaz- ing and the can of gasoline shoot ing flames eight feet high.
 Fries grabbed the gasoline can and tried to run into the street with it but bumped into frigh- tened customer The can fell and rolled intt( the hotel lobby. Some one else fried to kick it out through the dcef, but the draft from a large electric fan sent the flames spiralling inward. Fries said within a minute of the last fumhle, "all hell broke loose' and the fire was beyond control.
 Acting Fire Chief E. Clark order ed fighters to forget the building there are lives to be saved.
 Bremen visited every one ot the ST rooms while the blaze still burn ed and found -four or five people wandering around in dazed condi- tion." Some guests jumped safe ly from the second and top third elas-5 il. ..5ant, .s~if.ses The weasa- CT was mild. Others made escape by ropes of sheets and blankets. Some jumped through the rotunda skylight.
 One man. taking a bath on the third floor, reached the bathroom windown and hung from it by his hands until firemen reached him. George Hunter, the night porter, said the 36-ysar-old hotels fire alarm system did not work and that he shouted the alarm in the upper halls.
 The hotel was sold for s12o,o0o a week ago.
