No Early Settlement
Seen in Oil, Trucking
And Shipping Strikes
By fhs Assseio,ed Press

There appeared no indication
OF immediate settlement today
In the Nations three major
strikes-in the oil, trucking and
shipping industries.
The six-day-old strike by 10000
truck drivers in New York City be-
came more serious as $500 AFL
truckmen in Northern New Jersey
Joined In the walkout.
New York City officials expressed
fear Of milk shortage because of
the tieup Of deliveries of fiber con-
tainers. Although food supplies are
curtailed, they were not dangerously
low.
Container Plant May Close.
The American Can Co., major
maker of fiber milk containers here,
said it would decide soon whether
to eliminate the portion of its pro-
duction used in the Metropolitan
Area
The concern already has shut
down its Brooklyn plant. 1t is con-
sidering closing down of half OF
the output at its Jersey City plant.
One Jersey City beverage firm said
1t would shut down in two days
because of exhaustion of its sugar
supply If the strike continues.
Conferences Today.
Conferences to reach agreement
In the disputes were scheduled to-
day. A wage increase of IS cents
an hour has been demanded by the
New York teamsters. Employers
offered Is cents.
On the West Coast, where $4,000
CIO longshoremen have been idle
since last Wednesday, there was no
move for settlement by either union
or shipowners. About 160 ships are
tied up from Puget Sound to San
Diego. The Army was to ask long
shoremen to handle Army cargo for
commercial ships to assure supplies
for the Far East be kept moving.
In the strike by about 5000 oil
refinery workers in California and
four other Far Western States, ra-
tioning of gas became possibility.
An industry spokesman estimated
West Coast motorists may be un-
able to buy gas by the middle OF
next week If no settlement Is
reached in the wage dispute.
Break Depends on Meeting.
A possible break in the oil strike
hinged on a reopened wage confer
ence between the union and Shell
Oil, one of the six major companies
affected.
Today's meeting between Shell
and representatives of the CIO Oil
Workers International Union was
arranged by Glenn Bowers, super
visor OF the State conciliation serv-
ice. 1t was the first move to bring
the two sides together since the
strike began.
Mr.. Bowers emphasized this was
no industry-wide conference but
strictly between Shell and the un-
ion. although he was confident the
other companies would participate
In similar wage talks.
Negotiations we're broken off with
the companies standing on final
offer of 1872 cents an hour; the
union demanded 2l. The wage issue
is the crux of the dispute.

HOUSE QUESTIONS POSSIBLE CLOSING,
 KODIAK NAVY BASE

WASHINGTON, March 4.-tR-A House subcommittee decided today to find out whether the Kodiak, Al aska, Naval Base should be closed.
 Rep. Vinson tD-Ga) said it prob ably should be.
 Assistant Navy Secretary Mark Edwin Andrews told the Armed Fcrces Subcommittee he is not in a position to testify on the question. Rep Anderson (R-Calif) then said the Chief of Naval operations prob ably will be asked for an opinion.
 The question of closing the base arose during consideration of com plaint by Kodiak merchants that the Naval commissary at the base is competing unfairly with local mer- chants by selling to civilian employ ees ot the Navy.
 Vinson suggested any further et- forts to settle the controversy be postponed until the question of maintaining the base is determined.

cil may secure the names of those interested and get an estimate of the number who wish to take part in each course.
 The purpose of these classes, spon- sored by the Apprenticeship Coun- cil, is to provide fundamental train ing for Alaskans to fill job openings for skilled occupations which here tofore have heen filled by men and women from Outside"
 The need for developing basic skills becomes more apparent daily as the unemployment rolls become filled with unskilled labor while the demand for qualified craftsmen and journeymen can not be met within the Territory This condition can be expected to become more acute unless a long range apprentice train ing program is carried on in AL aska. These related training classes in shop mathematics and blueprint reading are the first steps in such a program.

OLD MAN WINTER STILL PREVENTS
 SAWMlLL OPENING
Many improvements Are Made by Juneau Spruce
 During Shutdown

Winter weather is still holding up the re-opening of the Juneau Spruce Corporation sawmiH here according to Dick Stamm, com pany sales manager, who is in charge during the absence of E. 5. Hawkins. company manager
 Tn the meantime, says Stamm' the mill has tested it's new ana remodeled equipment and found the tests successful except for a couple of minor changes which are still necessary. The tests in volved running a few sample logs through the entire mill from one process to another.
 During the past two months, while tie mill has been shut down crews have completely remodeled and made repairs in order to bring it up to date and make it more efficient.
 Stamm said that the work, just finished, included repairs to the log well: installation of a new log deck, overhauling the head saw; installation of a new 12-lnch edger: extension of the mill sorting chain by 100 feet moving the planer 30 feet from the box factory; installation of a planer sorting chain; removal of the re- manufacturing shed; and rebuilding the burner conveyor.
 The repair crews are now work ing on the installation ol the re- manufacturing machinery beneath the sawmill and rebuilding the boiler furnaces.
 Stamm says the mill IS ready to go and will reopen just as soon as the weather breaks. He ex- plained that, if the mill had been in constant operation, the wealth CT would not have caused 1t to shut down but, because of the ces- sation Of operations, the extreme weather makes it too difficult to start operations again until there is a break
