Fact Finders 10 Report.
10 Truman Today on
Dock Worker Dispute

h NEW YORK. Aug. ia presi-
dental fact-finding board plans to
report to President Truman today
on q dispute which threatens a
strike Of 5000 East Coast dock
workers at midnight Saturday.
The board yesterday completed q
hearing here in the dispute between
the AFL International Longshore-
mems Association and the New York
Shipping Association, representing
employers.
Since no settlement was in sight,
it appeared the boards report may
be followed by a Government move
to obtain an 80-day Taft-Hartley
"cooling-of" injunction forbidding
a strike.
Main point at issue involves a
Supreme Court decision calling for
payment Of what the employers term
overtime on overtime"
The present straight-time rate for
day work by the dock workers is
SITS an hour. The overtime rate
for night, holiday and weekend
work is one and one-half times this,
or $2462la.
Under the court decision of last
June, work performed in excess of
40 hours q week must be paid for
at the rate of one and one-half
times the $2.621a.
Joseph Mayper. employers counsel,
said the companies were unable to
pay the additional costs.
Joseph Ryan, LILA president, told
the board he agreed the court ruling
has created hardship for the en-
ployers, and said the union is sup
porting efforts to obtain review OF
the decision.
But he said the lila would not
accept a contract without a straight
and overtime rate in it.
Employers have offered a contract
with a straight pay rate for all
hours worked.
THE employers admit" Mr.. Ryan
said, that IS per cent of our men
get less than $50 a week."
He told the board workers will
walk off their jobs Saturday mid
night If no agreement is reached.

Buyers Strike Hitting
Canadian Food Markets

OTTAWA, CANADA.-Fresh vege-
etables virtually have disappeared
from Canadian markets and the
high prices of the few still available,
together with the leaping costs of
other foods, are bringing protests to
the government.
The Ottawa Consumers associa-
ton asked Prime Minister w. l..
Mackenzie King for an immediate
plebiscite on restoration of price
controls. Mrs. Joan Frazer, secre-
tary, said an unofficial buyers
strike is in progress.
Prices took a sharp jump upward
after Canada's conclusion of new
food contracts with the United King
dom at substantially higher prices
for export beef, bacon, cheese and
eggs. The scarcity of fresh vege-
tables, n C imported from the
United States, gave food costs an
added boost.

Depleted Ore Mines
Viewed as Arsenal
Deep Tunnels Safe From Bombs
In Atomic War.

JOPLIN, MO.-With the lead and
zinc Ore reserves badly depleted by
about production in World War II,
this vast mining field in the corners
of Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma
thinks in terms of becoming a huge,
s-ubterranean arsenal when hearing
talk about an atomic war.
The district has miles and miles
of man-made underground caverns
suitable for munitions works and
storage. This, coupled with the fact
that the district is near the center
of the United States, makes atomic
warfare conversation perhaps less
frightening than almost any place
else in the country.
The idea that the district could be
used for defense production and
storage has been stimulated by re-
cent visits of military procurement
men who have talked with manu-
facturerS and business men on this
subject.
Tunnels-"drifts," the miners call
them-large enough to accommodate
whole munition works are available.
Many are scientifically ventilated
and electrically lighted. Pumps can
keep them dry. They are reached by
perpendicular mine shafts. They eX-
ist at depths ranging from SO to 300
feet.
Scores of mines, already 30 to 40
years old, worked at top speed on
thin ore percentages during the re-
cent war and under the stimulation
of federal subsidies.
In July, 1947, the subsidies were
withdrawn. Many of the big mar
ginal mines closed. Others are pre-
to close. About so per cent Of
the field now is idle, but the under
ground of the entire region is liter
ally cut to pieces by mine drifts.
A problem of preserving the field
for future subterranean develop
ment would be keeping the drifts
from filling up with water should
mine operations be suspended COM
Once the underground be-
came water filled, the cost of "de-
watering would be terrific.

the pastel colored walls are decorat-
ed with mirrors. The fireplace is
to convey a home-like atmosphere.
The white wrought iron chairs
with maple leaf backs and the color
leaf pattern drapery lends an
airy, refreshing, ~garden-like atmos-
phere to the entrance. The family
room has soft, rosetone carpeting.
