SEATTLE BUS TRAGEDY NOW BEING pR0BED

SEATTLE, April 10-lR-A wit ness testified today at a coron- CTS inquest that some of the per sons struggling to escape from the bus which plunged into the Du- Wamish River on Monday night could have been saved if rescue measures had been taken more promptly

 c. James Fordon, a salesman said when he reached the scene the oil truck driver, Talford E Smithee, was lying dead on the highway
 He testified two or three persons were removed through hole cut in the bus top and there was from six to eight inches of airpocket in the bus but the water was rising rapidly.
 Do you believe anything could have been done that would have saved additional lives?" Coroner John P. Brill, Jr., asked.
 If there had been proper CO., ordination of the rescue efforts, or if we had other tools to work with, we could have gotten in and saved several other lives,' Fordon replied.
 He said it was 30 minutes before tow car was hooked onto the bus
 If any of the police cars-and there were several there by then had had one of those emergency diving helmets-there are thousands of them on sale in the surplus army stores-they could have got in Fordon added.

PR0p05ALS MADE FOR SETTLEMENT
 OF HELLO STRIKE
Company, Union Officials Discuss Initial Agree
 ment at Issue

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-iR- Company and union officials met today to initial a proposed settle ment of long distance lines phases i of the nation wide telephone strike
 They rechecked a draft of the proposed agreement before it's sub- mission to the Long lines unions executive board and then to the policy committee of the National Federation of Telephone workers An understanding for settling the long distance end of the strike was reached by negotiators last night, but it had to be put in writing and initialed before further action.
 One of those familiar with the proposed settlement said it calls for arbitration of four wage issues on national level, with six other major points involved to be set tied on local basis.
 He said the national issues in- volved are a general pay increase differential pay, progression tc higher pay scales, and classified tions.
 Issues which he said would be left to settlement by local units of the long distance workers are vacations, leaves of absence for union officials, definition of duties of assistants to traffic operator, pensions, union shop and check off, and jurisdiction over work.

STIFF LABOR BILL COMES
 UP IN HOUSE
Mediation, Arbitration and Closed Shop Other
 Subjects Included

WASHINGTON, April 10, R-A still new bill to put the brakes or strikes and unions reached the vot- ing stage in the House Labor Com mittee today.
 Traces of opposition to it stil smouldered among some Republi- can members. Several Democrats getting their first look at the terms, were ready to swing on il with all their power.
 The bill. with a couple of changes got the approval yesterday of Re publican leaders and the policy shaping COP Steering Committee
 One change would provide per iod of mediation and arbitration for settling strikes, such as the telephone row, which the bill de- fines as affecting the National health, welfare and safety. The other would remove proposed ban on the union shop if both manage ment and labor want one
 Closed Shop
 The bill still would forbid the closed shop, under which an em- ployer may hire only union mem bers. Under the union shop, non union men may be hired, but they rp,ct ioi, tba ,,nin,, coo,, o ftar oo ing on the payroll
 A strike affecting the National interest would be handled by giving the Attorney General the right to ask for a court order to stave off or stop the tie-up.
 Injuncuons
 The injunction would be good for 75 to 90 days. During that time. mediation and arbitration would be tried. If that failed the union still could strike, but the Govern ment could also get another in- junction and try again.
 A new, independent administra- tor of the labor relations law would investigate cases, present them to the Board, and take decisions into court for enforcement, if neces- sary.
 May Tone Bill Down
 Across the Capitol, indications were that milder bill before the Senate Labor Committee probably will be toned down even more when its members start voting on it Fri day.
 AS it stands, the preliminary Senate draft outlaws the closed shop. authorizes temporary injunc- tions to block serious strikes, pro- hibits secondary boycotts and juris- dictional strikes, and makes num- erous Wagner Act changes designed to restore justice in relations be- tween employers and employees"

The Washington Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Some inter- esting undercurrents have been taking place inside the ranks of the United Mine Workers regard ing John L. Lewis. They indicate that, for the first time in years, grousing against the big miner boss has become serious-up until inc time of the Centralia accident.
 The worst blow John l.. Lewis ever received in all his colorful career was the Supreme Court de- cision finding him in contempt of court and taking thousands of dollars in hard-earned dues from the union treasury The miners never did like last November's strike anyway, though they went ahead on the assumption that John knew where he was taking them. So when the Supreme Court showed he didn't know, Lewis leadership was badly shak- en.
 There has always been certain amount of gripping about Lewis. The men in the anthracite fields don't like him at all. have even dared him to show himself m Pennsylvania, which he has not done for a long time. In the bituminous fields, however, the miners will cuss out Lewis between strikes but swear allegiance dur ing strikes.
 Most of them take pride in the fact that John has his pig iimou- sine, fine house in Virginia, ana can hold his head up with the best of Washington society. They have not been happy, however about the long list of Lewis rela-
