J5( BARGE
 ugLCADED
 IN TACOMA


 Word was received today that the lumber barge, belonging to the Ju- neau Spruce Corporation, was un- loaded yesterday in Tacoma by mem bers of the AF of L Longshoremen. Because of the jurisdictional dis pute between the CIO International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union and the CIO International Woodworkers of America, the Prince Rupert Longshoremen refused to un- load the lumber barge earlier this week.
 The targe carried 410,00o board feet of lumber and unloading opera tons were completed today and the barge, lowed by the Santrina, a company tug, is making her return trip to Juneau.
 The ILWU-CIO dispute with the IWA-CIO has been over loading of barges by members of the IVA CIO, who claim that all work at the Juneau sawmill is under its juris- diction.
 Since the plant re-opened this summer. after a three months shut down, lumber has been piled ill order to keep IVA members work ing until decision could be made by the National Labor Relations Board in the jurisdictional dispute.

By SPENCER DAVIS

MANILA, Sept. lI--4R-Most of the 20,000 Filipinos still on the vol canic isle. of Camiguin were being loaded on a U. s. Army troop ship today in the ominous shadow of erupting Mount Hibokhibok.
 The mile-high volcano. still blew out dangerous but not deadly gases, and geologists saw possibility of a new and violent eruption. but for the moment at least the situation appeared in hand
 A second big Army transport, the l5,OOO-ton General Morton, was rushing to the island to help evacu- ate refugees. It is due to arrive tomorrow.
 The l7,8l2-ton Army transport Gen. William Weigel had picked up some 5000 refugees and removed them to Mindanao.
 Capt Walter Williams of the Gen. eral Weigel said that some l6,0O0 of the islanders had been accounted for in seven reception centers.
 Island authorities reported that the two transports and other small CT craft should have the island cleared of inhabitants by Tuesday.
 Dehydrated food was flown to the hungry islanders by an American Navy flying boat which took off from Manila, 45o miles away.

Complications Hit Return to-Work Plans by Jur-
 isdietiondI Trouble

SEATTLE, Sept. l1.-tR- The Aeronautical Mechanics Union und) called off its l40-day -old strike against the Boeing Arplane Company last night but complica- tions hit urn-to-work plans.
 These were the complications:
 1. The union appeared headed into full-scale, jurisdictionai battle with the AFL Teamsters Un- ion.
 2. The company placed a ban on rehiring of "a small number of subverSiveS."
 !. Boeing said it will try to re-employ the rest of the strikers as rapidly as possible but indicat- cd that expansion of assembly op- erations will have to await step- ped-up production in the shops. The union voted to return to work Monday.
 The company has been hiring all workers who would pass through the picket lines and has more than 5000 production workers cr the job. Some l4,00O went out on strike April 22.
 The strike was called in sup port of demands for an hourly wsge increase of 30 cents an hour. Wage scales at the time ranged from $l to $l.80. Retention of seniority provisions also was a basic issue in the dispute. The company offered a l5-cent raise.
 Dave Beck. international vice. president of the Teannsters' Union, made the announcement which promised jurisdictional battle with the aero-mechanics.
 He reported formation of new Teamster-chartered union, the Aeronautical Workers, Warehouse men and Helpers. He said it will seek memberships from workers in all hourly cauegories at Boeing
 The union has been organizing returned workers at Boeing, but previous announcements have in- dicated it was interested only in claiming jurisdiction over ware housemen and a few others.
