Five Miners Die In Tragedy At
George Nethken Mine At KitzmilIer
Out Day Early

Because of the observance of Armi-
stice Day on Thursday, November II,
this issue of The Republican is being
published one day earlier than usual.
No previous announcement was
made of this and because of that
fact, number of weekly news letters
and items probably will be received
too late for publication.
AS many of these items as possible
will be used next week.
The postoffice in Oakland will be
closed on Thursday which would have
delayed the distribution of The Re-
publican until Friday, had it not been
decided to publish on Wednesday.

Waterfront Assn. Seeks Extra
 Session On Strike

SAN FRANCISCO, (P) - Ship ping industry leaders yesterday supported a proposal for an extra session of Congress to deal with the West Coast maritime strike.
 They offered "to prove to any Congressional committee" that the strike is political and without a strike issue on trade uni n grounds"
 This offer was made in a tele- gram to Rep. Fred A. Hartley R. N. JD from Frank P. Foisie and J. B. Bryan, presidents, respec- lively, of the Coast Waterfront Employers Association and Pacif- ic American Shipowners' Associa- ton.
 Rep. Hartley recently proposed an extra session of Congress to deal with the strike, which began Sept. and has tied up 148 Amer ican ships.
 Since negotiations over wages and the hiring hall begged down on the even of the strike, the en- ployers have refused to talk fur ther with unions whose leaders have not signed affidavits dis avoWing communism.
 CIO longshoremen seek a wage hike of IS cents to $1.82 an hour. On strike with the longshoremen are three allied CIO seafaring unions and the independent ma rine firemen's union. Officers of the firemen have signed non-com- munist affidavits.
