Two Groups of Coast Maritime Strikers Schedule Meefings;Are Reported Very Close 10 Terms

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1--IR-- Two of the three striking maritime unions still at odds with the Pa- cific Snlpowners were reported very close" to settlement today.
 They were the CTO Marine Cooks and Stewards and the unaffiliated Marine Bremen. Both had new meetings scheduled for today.
 A settlement by these two unions would leave only the CIO Radio Operators contracts to be negotiated and also demands of Harry Lunde- berg's AFL Sailors before ships can sail again.
 The strike was 91 days old today.
 Shipowners plan to settle with the striking unions before taking up the AFL Sailors Union of the Pa cific plea for a wage boost and certain jurisdictional rights on AL askan and cosstwise ships where Harry Bridges CIO longshoremen also handle cargo.
 The main obstacle to maritime peace was settled over the week end when the longshoremen ap- proved terms of contract provid- ing for a Is cent pay hike to Sl.82 an hour, and other benefits.

Earl Bunting and Matthew WoII Urge Teamwork
 of Capital, Labor

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-tR- Earl Bunting. managing director of The National Association of Manufact- urers, said today that imitation, in- security and inadequate thrift are three flaws in the American econ- omy that the people want correct ed.
 Bunting keynoted the opening session of the NAM's 53rd annual Congress of American Industry at the Waldorf Astoria.
 Optimism in the immediate fu- ture of business appeared to be the prevailing mood of the audience as they applauded Buntings cali on "all groups and all opposing forces to put teamwork first-with the public interest as the one Para mount measure
 Capital and labor would be lost without each other," Bunting said.
 Matthew Woll, vice. president of the American Federation of Labor, said that destruction of the free and voluntary organizations of la Dor will drive the masses" to legis- lative and political measures with shackles of statiSm increas- ingly curtailing and negating the rights of all.''
 Be assured" Woll said, that labor, as represented by the AFL, will not want to fasten shackles on industry and corporate manage ment in relations to elections of it's officers and directors and their relation to individual shareholders and the consuming public"
 Rather, we will want to enlarge upon the freedom of both manage ment and labor, to the end that a cooperative relationship may be fostered and encouraged"

WASHINGTON Now that Sec retary of State Marshall is back from Paris. it is possible to get a clearer idea of who was respon- sible for the U. S.-British decision to turn Ruhr industry back to the German Cartels. This has lost us more friends in Western Europe than any other single move since VIE Day. f
 The week before Thanksgiving, Gen. Lucius Clay came to Paris to confer with Marshall before the lat ter took off for Washington. Clay was accompanied by his political adviser, French-hating Ambassador Robert Murphy.
 Marshall and Clay are old friends out the Secretary had occasion to differ sharply with Clay on this occasion and. according to insiders, to reprimanG both him and Mur- phy.
 The issue was whether any hope could come from trying to mediate the Berlin dispute. At the mo- Eaent the United States mediation efforts were under way. Both Clay rnd Murphy opposed this. said they ttousht the Berain deadlock had become too difficult tohbe

NEW MOVE IN BERLIN
 BLOCKADE
Com munists Take Over Control of City Hall B
 Nations Serve Notice
lBv The Associated Pressl

Communists took over complete control today of the Berlin city hall.
 The United States, Britain and France. which jointly occupy Ber- lin with Russia, served this notice in the United Nations Security Council efforts to mediate the Russian blockade Of the city:
 The three Western Powers can not agree that they should be bound to submit to all Soviet mea- sures which add to and intensity the Soviet blockade or which in- terfere with the city administra- tion, while the Soviet remains un- committed to any restraint"
 Berlin city hall is in the Russian zone. The Communists elected" their trump administration at an apathetic mass meeting yesterday and announced Acting Mayor Fer dinand Friedensburg of the elected Berlin government "has been dis missed" Police barred him and other legal officials from their offices.
 The Communists acted before Berliners Of the three Western Zones could vote Sunday for new regime. The Communists and their Russian masters knew that a free vote after the months of starvation blockade and Commun- ist rioting would mean vote losses for the minority Reds. The Com munists proclaimed their trump government was for all Berlin. It will apply only to the Russian zone, which covers roughly about half the city--as long as the Vest ern Powers remain in Berlin.

HEINTzLEMAN. IS HOME FOR BRIEF STAY
Regional Forester Is Busy on Industrial, Farm,
 Road Projelfs

Enthusiastic about the great surge of development that seems immi- nent for Alaska, B. Frank Heint- zleman, Regional Forester, is back in Juneau for few days on a two- week visit to the Territory nefore returning to Washington, D. c.
 Industrial and agricultural de- velopment, and the roads that will be needed, have been Heintzleman's s chief concern in the two months he has been in continental United States. The Capitol has been his headquarters, but he has been on both East and West coasts, and in Chicago, New York and Philadel- phia, too, in the interests of Alas ka's future.
 FARM PROGRAM
 Many important things" said Heintzleman this morning, will come up in the next few months which vitally affect Alaska, and in which the Forest Service is inter- ested. The Secretary of Agriculture has asked me, in my capacity of Commissioner of Agriculture for Alaska, to return. Agricultural de- velopment in interior Alaska is of great importance. Our own depart ment has under consideration a very much expanded program of agricultural research, and studies of agricultural possibilities of the h. terior
 We are eager to keep agricultural development abreast of the general development of the Territory-but it must not get ahead, for markets are needed. Without them, .agricul- tural settlers would be put to great hardship"
 Heintzleman will go to Anchorage and Fairbanks to consult with De- partment of Agriculture specialists about next years work.
 PULP PLANTS
 In the important matter of pulp and paper industry development, many things remain to be done in connection with the Ketchikan project, which is progressing at a very satisfactory rate"
 Negotiations are with a group from the Puget Sound Pulp and Timber Company and an associate group of the American Viscose Cor poration of Philadelphia.
 This company is the largest man. ufacturer of rayon in the United States, having eight plants in the East and using 100000 tons of high est grade wood pulp year.
 American Viscose hopes to get a substantial amount of it's pulp re- quirements from the Alaska enter prise.
 The proposed Alaska plant, set up by these two groups, would be call ed the Ketchikan Pulp and Paper Company.
 "Ihe company hopes to start construction next spring" said Heintzleman. Meantime, many de-

While these organizations try to pose as
spokesman for small business as we'll as big

represent. In the Harvard Business Review
of May 1913, an article by Alfred S. Cleve-
land appeared entitled IMAM: Spokesman
for Industry" In part it read:
'"The actual situation therefore is such that from
1888 to 1916 1925 corporations have held 63% Of all
directorships, $50 of executive committee member
ships, 1870 of the finance committee memberships,
and 52% of the major executive offices. This group
constitutes approximately 0S% of current member
ship and has never exceeded 49e. The sefperpetuat

in the fact that yearly turnover Of its members has
averaged but 14% for the entire IA year period,
