Picking Nears

Flathead and Lake county S
bumper cherry crop will start on
the way to market within 10 days
Cherries sorted and packed al
the Flathead Lake Cherry Grow
ers' association warehouse in Ka-
lispell are expected to exceed last
years 1,248,SO0 pounds which
brought more than S250,00O.
Packing and shipping from Pol
son is the Flathead Sweet Cherry
association which this year is ex-
pected to handle nearly 100000
pounds.
Flathead's bings and lamberts
are considered larger, sweeter and
more solid than other cherries.
Large scale orchards started in
1885 when it was found that the
shores of Flathead lake, third
largest fresh water lake west of
the Mississippi, had a lack of ex-
IRENE heat, growing season, and
produced a better cherry.
Employed at the Kalispell
warehouse as sorters and pack
ers will be about 300 women and
girls. Pickers in the field will in
clude teen ayers as well as older
persons.
Flathead cherries find an open
market from coast to coast since
they ripen later than fruit from
other growing areas.

Give Up Mutiny Plane
By the Assooioted Press

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sunday, July 4.
Bulgaria demanded today that
Turkey hand over Immediately an
airplane which landed in Istanbul
under mysterious circumstances last
Wednesday night, and all its occu-
pants.
The plane, a tri-motor Junkers 50
transport, was commandeered in
flight by a group of -Commu-
nists who took over from the crew
and landed in Turkey. There were
19 living persons aboard when it
landed. The pilot was dead and
two crew members were wounded.
The plane was forcibly diverted
from its course while on a flight
from Varna, on the Black Sea, to
Sofia.
An official Bulgarian announce
ment said eight of the passengers
and crew members expressed a de-
sire to be repatriated. 1t added
that due to the fact the plotters
are considered criminals in Bull
garia, Turkey should hand them
over Immediately.

with the planes crew and took ever
the controls was headed by a re-

Lunde|berg Proposes
Panama Ship Boycott
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 3.-American
delegates to the international
Transportation Workers Congress at
Oslo. July 10 will propose world
wide boycott of Panamanian ships,
Harry o. Lundeberg, president of
the AFL Seamen's International
Union, announced today.
Mr.. Lundeberg, who sailed on the
Swedish liner Stockholm to attend
the conference, said the reason for
the proposed boycott is that too
many United States ships are be-
ing transferred to Panamanian reg
istry."
"Shipowners in this way evade
taxes" the union leader said Strict
United States safety-at-sea regu-
lations are replaced by weak re-
quirements; pay scales of seamen
are reduced: jobs of American sea-
men are lost to foreign seamen and
the American merchant marine,
needed in times of national crisis,
is constantly made weaker"
Mr.. Lundeberg said that despite
Panama's relatively small size. "the
third largest merchant marine in
the world is now sailing under the
flag of Panama. Something should
ae done to halt this continuing
fight of American shipping to for
eign flags"

Scots Admit Failure
To RekindIe Interest
OF Rich u. ). Tourists
BY WilIiom McGoffin
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor ond
the Chicago Dolly News

LONDON, July 3.-The Scots. 1t
seems, are feeling quite miffed at
Uncle Sam right now.
The rich American uncle isn't
sending his millionaire children to
Scotland as often as he used to. Not
enough American sportsmen are
going to the highlands to hunt and
fish. Nor are many going to the
Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire to
play golf.
I get this grippe straight from the
highlands and my correspondent
explains it this way:
"a determined attempt to revive
American interest in Scottish grouse
moors has been a failure. The rea-
son, I am told, is chiefly because
rich Americans are afraid war with
Russia might break out while they're
away from home. suspect, however,
that actually they've been Influenced
by the poor bags of postwar years
and that today even rich men want
to see the birds before they put
their money down"
My correspondent continues that
compared with the appalling, scarcity
of the two previous postwar years,
birds are altogether more plentiful
this year. He says maybe the Amer
ican sportsman hasn't heard that
yet.
AS for the Gleneagles, 1t is now a
nationalized railway hotel so the
British taxpayer is interested in
whether it makes a profit. Chances
are it won't. although it's still a
fire hotel with very good service,
directed by Swiss manager.
Bookings are reported to be only
10 to IS per cent of capacity while
upkeep is heavy in the March to
october period it is kept open.
Primarily" writes my friend,
this golf hotel, in the hills Of Perth
shire, was built to attract United
States tourists. In boom years some
paid hundreds of pounds a week for
q suite. Those DAYS are gone"

Lewis, Owners Agree
On Hard Coal PACT;
Details Due Today
1Y the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, July 3.-Agreement
IN new contract covering 10000
miners in Pennsylvania anthra-
clte fields was reached here tonight
by negotiators for the United Mine
Workers and hard coal operators.
Details of the agreement were
lot revealed. 1t was announced
'erms would be made public after
i meeting of the miners scale COM
mittee here tomorrow.
The old contract expires July 10.
Negotiations have been held in
closed sessions at the Wa1dorf-As-
toria Hotel since May 81, with UNIV
President John L. Lewis heading the
union delegation for the past few
days. Ralph E. Taggart, president
If the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Co., headed the. op-
orators group.
Lewis Announces Accord.
Mr.. Lewis announced the agree
ment. He said he was speaking for
both Mr.. Taggart and himself.
He said the agreement consists of
an amendment of the existing con-
tract and that many provisions are
unchanged
Mr.. Lewis said both sides believe
the agreement will be constructive
and will prove to be a distinct con-
tribution to the stability of the
industry and in the public interest" +"
Demands Not Revealed.
Union demands on the owners of
225 anthracite mines in eight East
ern Pennsylvania counties have not
been made public but union sources
indicated tonight that they were
similar to those asked of soft coal
operators, plus establishment OF a
pension fund within the existing
health and welfare fund.
Soft coal miners asked a $l-a day
across the board wage increase and
an additional 10-cent per ton con-
tribution to their welfare fund. The
extra 1O-cent levy would double
the welfare fund contribution.
The union said present wage scale
for anthracite miners averages
s11.10 for a seven-hour day for
those classified as company miners
and an average of S10.53 for COM
pany laborers. Contract miners,
who work on a piece-work basis,
average $13 a day.
Thomas Kennedy, UNIV vice
president, said meeting will be
arranged with the operators final

proved by the unions scale COM

loo Little Work Cuts
|ta|y's Output, Raises
Cost Of Production

ROME, July 5 (CDN) Italy S
export sales are failing to show
satisfactory gains because high pro-
duction costs discourage prospective
buyers, a trade analysis discloses.
Production costs are abnormally
high because an estimated 100000
industrial workers-more than one
in five-must be kept on payrolls
despite the fact that there is not
enough work for them to do.
The government will not allow in
dustrial plants to release those
known as surplus workers" The
cost of manufactured articles, as q
result, is increased and prospective
buyers look elsewhere.
The government is trying to solve
the problem. 1t does not want tc
see unemployment rise. 1t is hop
ing that increased production will
take up the slack and solve the
problem automatically.
Imports Swelled by Aide.
This is Italy's biggest economic
headache today.
Imports, largely on account Of
UNRRA and now Marshall Plan aid
are greater than in the pfeWar nor.
NAL year of 1888. Production is ap.
preaching normal. But export sales
still lag. In 1947, they increased 2(
per cent over 1916, but still were
only half of 1898.
As a result, 1taly's shops are over
flowing with goods that the world
is refusing to buy. A decline in
prices started just after Christmas
and continues on gradual basis.
One of the biggest market gaps
is Germany. Before the war, Ger
many was 1taly's best customer
But Germany is able to buy little
or nothing these days.
Up to 100000 Do Nothing.
The trade analysis discloses 500,-
900 of total of 2,5O0.000 industrial
employees work less than 40 hours
weekly. Yet, the law provides they
may receive makeup pay in the
amount of 66 per cent of their regu-
lar hourly wage up to is hours
weekly for time spent sitting down
So there is an effort to work al
least "a hours and get the rest on
a tWo-thirds' basis.
is estimated that from 75,00t
to 100000 employees are maintained

They get 66 per cent of regular pay

1t is estimated that export sales

fore the CIO and Big Steel came to
terms.
While the steel industry has
agreed to meet the increases in
wages and welfare fund given Mr..
Lewis UNIV by commercial opera
tors, representing about two-thirds
of the soft coal industry, it has re-
fused to sign the new contract be-
cause of inclusion of what Spokes-
men describe as an illegal union
shop clause.
Old Contract Has Expired.
The old contract with Mr.. Lewis
expired June 30. The 100000 soft
coal miners, including the 10000
employed by the steel industry, are
now on vacation which ends to-
morrow midnight.
Since the miners hold to a tradi-
tional mo contract, no work pol
icy, the captive" mines will remain
closed Tuesday, barring unexpected
Government Intervention or cap
itulation to Mr.. Lewis by the steel
industry.
The steel producers on Friday
charged Mr. Lewis and the UNIV
with an unfair labor practice vio-
lation of the Taft Hartley Act by
insisting on continuance of union
shop conditions.
The union shop permits an en-
ployer to hire nonunion worker,
but he must join the union within
a stated period after employment.
The labor law states that before the
union shop may become subject
of bargaining, it must be approved
by a majority of the workers in a
formal National Labor Relations
Board election. Nevertheless, the
commercial operators continued the
union shop clause in their new con-
tract with Mr.. Lewis, although no
election has been held.
Complaint May Be Issued.
NLRB may now issue a formal
complaint against the UNIV, based
on the steel industry charges, and
follow with a petition for a Federal
court injunction, which would have
the effect on banning a strike over
the union shop issue.
1t was said yesterday that the
NLRB had not had time to investi-
gate the charges, and certainly
could not seek court intervention
until after the expected strike takes
place.
President Truman is empowered
by the new Selective Service Act
to seize plant or mine where a
failure to produce affects the flow
of defense materials. But, top Fed
eral officials insisted that seizure
and Government operation of the

considered.

Only One Hospita|ized
After 43 Escape Fire
On Ship Off Delaware
Rx the Asxociufed Press

CAPE MAY, N. j., July 3.-The
crew and captains family were
rescued safely today after a pre-
dawn fire ravaged the Swedish
freighter Dagmar Salen in the At
lantic Ocean 10 miles off Delaware.
The Coast Guard said there were
80 crew members aboard the ship.
Only one was injured seriously
enough to require hospital treat
ment.
The fire broke out in the engine
room shortly before am. and
burned until noon before three
Coast Guard cutters brought it
under control.
Captains Family Left First.
The captains wife, Mrs. Sigured
Lowdal, her daughter, Annette, 7,
and son, Sigurd-Claus,. 4, were
among the first to leave the burn
ing ship in lifeboats. They were
taken aboard the cutter Gentian
which picked up about half the
crew.
The other crew members were on
the S. S. Perla, Panamanian
steamer, the first vessel to reach
the Dagmar Salen after distress
signal was broadcast.
The Dagmar Salen was listing
badly after the fire and will be tow
ed into Newport News. Va, as soon
as the tug Amoran can get 1t under
way. The survivors also will be
landed there.
The 5,OOO-ton Swedish vessel was
on its way back to Baltimore after
unloading sugar in Philadelphia
when fire broke out 80 miles south
of here. 1t had arrived in Baltimore
June Is with cargo from Shang-
hal.
Capt. Lowdal and a few crew
members tried to fight the blaze be-
fore arrival of Coast Guard help, but
soon were forced to abandon the
ship. They stayed nearby in two
life boats until the blaze, which sent
smoke 1000 feet into the air and
left the ships superstructure a
charred wreck, was controlled.
John Weller. II, of Shanghai, was
flown to Baltimore in a Coast Guard
plane from Floyd Bennett Field,
New York. He was in the engine
room when it filled with smoke and
was burned severely on his hands
and arms before reaching safety of
the deck.
Blacked Out From Heat.
Il thought I was a goner," young
Weller said, adding he didn't recall
how he got out of the burning holds.
He tried twice to climb the ladder
and was forced back because of
soaring heat.
Then I blacked out" he said. The
next thing he knew he was on deck.
L must have made it somehow, but
l don't know how"
He said the second engineer was
working on generator at the time
of the outbreak and expressed the
belief the fire started there.
The Dagmar Salen, built in 1887,
lists Stockholm as its home port.
Last September its bridge was dam
aged in collision with the Black
Ball ferry, M. v. Chinook, between
Victoria, B. c., and Seattle, Wash
