unions once the union security
obstacle was overcome.
The two unions demanded the fol-
lowing three things on all coasts:
Preferential hiring Union men
would get priority.
Maintenance of membership Men
who join the union must stay In it
or lose their jobs.
Union hiring halls The unions
would furnish men for all vacancies
In the order In which the men be-
come available for work. fThis
usually amounts to . closed shop,
where all workers must belong to

Up to now, on the East Coast,
both unions have had preferential
hiring In all their contracts and
maintenance OF membership in
some, but the contracts have lacked
uniformity.
Secretary of the Interior Krug
estimated, meanwhile, that, because
of the maritime strikes, fuel hungry
nations Of Europe will receive only
about half their September allot-

Because OF the strike retarded de-
