FIRST CONVENTION
 OF GROUP TO MEET
 OUTSIDE OF CANADA

The l948 convention, in Juneau, of the Associated Boards of Trade of Central British Columbia. has created a precedent for organlza- tions of it's kind. This is the first time that the group has ever con- vened outside of Canada.
 The action is a concrete demon- stration of the similar interests be- tween communities in Central Brit ish Columbia and Southeast Alas ka. Particular emphasis at the convention has been given to the importance of building up Prince Rupert as a port to serve both areas.

Police Escort Curran
From Hall as Foes Bar
Vote on NMU Contract
By the Associoted Press


NEW YORK, June 8.-Joseph
Curran, president of the CIO Ma
tional Maritime Union, left a hall
under police escort last night at the
end Of noisy, disorderly meeting
Of 5000 tanker crew members of his
union.
The meeting was called to ratify
a contract agreement announced a
week ago between the union and II
tanker companies.
The meeting ended without vote
on the pact. Later, however, Mr..
Curran said he considered the
agreement adopted because of votes
of acceptance from tanker crew
members in other ports.
Hope Pact Will Set Pattern.
Some negotiators have said they
hoped the tanker agreement would
serve as pattern for a settlement
to ward off maritime strike on all
coasts threatened for June IS when
various union contracts expire.
Mr.. Curran'S efforts to obtain a
vote on the agreement at last nights
meeting were greeted by a barrage
of pennies, pitched onto the stage
of Manhattan Center by those op-
posing approval of the pact. They
objected to the amount of a pay in
crease agreed on.
The agreement provided a $5-a-
month wage increase for most un-
licensed seamen as well as other
benefits and extended the current
tanker contract, which expires June
Is, for two years. 1t also continued
the union hiring hall' method of
employing ere Wmembers-a major
objective of the union.
Pennies Dropped in Lap.
At one point during the turbulent
meeting one of the tanker crew
members leaped to the stage, gath
cred up the pennies and dropped
the minto Mr.. Curran's lap.
Mr.. Curran promptly adjourned
the meeting.
Several police officers then
mounted the stage and left the hall
with the union official.
Outside the hall Mr.. Curran said
to newsmen:
What meeting"
The 312 hour meeting was noisy
throughout.
Leading the opposition to ratifi-
cation of the contract, which Mr.
Curran favored, was Paul Palazzi,
NMU port agent for New York.
Disagree About Threat.
Mr.. Curran and Frank j. Taylor,
chairman of a committee repre-
senting Atlantic and Gulf Coast
ship owners, disagreed yesterday
over the seriousness of the effects
of the threatened strike.
Mr.. Taylor told a presidential
fact-finding board that such a
Walkout would be nothing short
of a national disaster"
He said it also would affect ship
ments under the European Recovery
Program and shipments to American
armed forces in Europe.
Disputing Mr.. Taylor's conten-
tions, Mr.. Curran told the board that
'over so per cent of the freight in
land out of this country is carried in
foreign bottoms, so the national
disaster falls of its own weight"
Five CIO unions. with combined
membership of 10000, are involved

in the dispute before the board ap-
pointed by President Truman. They
have said they may strike on all
coasts after June Is, the contract
expiration date.
The unions, which are seeking pay
increases, improved working condi-
tions and working hour adjustments,
are: National Maritime Union,
American Radio Association, Marine
Engineers Beneficial Association,
International Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's Union, and Nation
al Union of Marine Cooks and
Stewards.
Harry Bridges, president Of the
International Longshoremen's and

board his West Coast union would
walk out if the NMU and MEBA did
so. He said his union would refuse

College Eleven Drops Hard-Fought
1872 Decision To Wilmington Here

Putting on one of their best
home performances in many a sea-
son, Bluffton college gridders held
the advantage most of the game
against Wilmington here last Satur-
day night, but finally weakened in
the last period to let the Quakers
go home with an Is to II victory.
1t was Bluffton that scored first
in the tilt with a frst-period touch
down; but Wilmington came back to
tie up the score just before the half
time intermission.
Then after Wilmington had tai
lied in the third period, the Beavers
uncorked a magnificent rally to knot
the count in the same quarter. The
score remained tied until the waning
minutes of the game when a last
ditch passing attack paid off with
victory for the visitors.
Gleason spanked the frst-quarter
Bluffton drive which carried the
Beavers deep into Wilmington terri
tory; and then heaved a Is yard
pass to Frost who went the remain
ing 10 yards to score. The attempt
ed conversion was blocked.

up. And by the time it gets to Cal
cutta, Bluffton is mostly tucked in
bed. Moscow, Cairo and Capetown,
Berlin and Rome, have had their
turn before the earliest Bluffton
riser stirs on Sunday morning.
The people in London are in
church when the dawn breaks here.
Iceland and Rio de Janeiro have had
their services before Blufftonites
leave their homes dressed in their
"go-to-meeting" clothes. Then comes
Bluffton's turn, when the various
churches of the community will par
ticipate in this sacrament, each in
its own way.
Even after we are through, others
are still going to church. While we
relax in the middle of Sunday after
noon the churches of San Francisco
will be ringing their bells for the
service. And the cycle is complete
at our supper time when Honolulu
is celebrating this occasion.
The local churches expect one of
the biggest attendances of the year
for the occasion.

Bluffton chung to the six-point lead
until playing time in the first half
had almost run out. 1t was then
that line plunge over the payoff
stripe gave Wilmington the tying
score. In the third period, the
Quakers tailed again, this time on
pass, but the Beavers went to
work in earnest to uncork a drive
of their own that paid dividends.
After penetrating deep into enemy
territory, a penalty against Whining
ton carried the Beavers to the one
yard line, and from that point Glea-
son rammed around end for the
score.
At the end of the game, Whining
toms desperation passing attack fin
ally paid off with the third touch
down and the victory.
In evening play, the visitors had
II first downs, while Bluffton was
racking up eight. The Quakers COM
pleted nine of 90 passes; and the
Beavers six of 81. However, the
Bluffton teams average pass gain
was 1853 yards, in comparison with
a 1876 average for the visitors.

Number of Fires On Increase I'm
Town And Country, Chief
COrsOn Declares
Fire Equipment Best In Town
/ History, But Cooperation
Needed From Residents

With the number of fires on the
increase in both town and country,
the need of scientific fire protection
in the home becomes more important
than ever, Fire Chief Guy Corson
declared Wednesday in announcing
the opening of National Fire Proven
tion Week next Sunday.
During the season when furnaces
and heating stoves are put into late
fall use there often is a greater
danger of fire damage than in mid
winter, unless the householder is
careful to check all possible fire
hazards in advance, the Bluffton fire
chief pointed out.
Altho Bluffton is in a better posi-
tion to fight fires than ever before
in history, much of the responsibility
in reducing fire losses rests with
adequate fire prevention measures by
each individual home owner, he
declared.
Good Fire Fighting Equipment
Bluffton has two frst-class fire
trucks, one especially adapted for
rural fire fighting, an advantage that
has resulted in contracts with Orange
and Richland township trustees to
provide fire protection service on an
annual fee basis.
The department has 1900 feet of
serviceable hose, nearly all of which
is two and one-half-inch size.
Members of the fire department

NEW YORK.-Ruins of the an

inhabited by tens of thousands OF
people-have been discovered in q
desert region of Afghanistan.
The important find was made by
the Danish Central Asjatic Expedi-

turned to its headquarters at Kabul
The news is reported in a Kabul
dispatch to the leading Copenhagen
newspaper, Berlingske Tidende.
Lashgari Sarai, lying in the mid

rounded by formal gardens. Today
the ruins are covered by sand. The
expedition is hopeful Of uncovering
among the ruins some clues as to

Ever since Cain killed Abel pattern Of strife
between brother and brother has existed In the
world.
The War Between the States in America q
particularly tragic example of kin versus kin. The
Civil Wars tremendous losses in men and destruc-
ton Of property serious blows to compare

The picture today is particularly bleak one.
The hand of brother is raised against brother on
not one but on many fronts.
Arabs and Jews From Same Stock
In India there smoldering differences between
Moslem and Hindu. Indian communal troubles are
far from recent. They existed in the days when
the British Raj still ruled the land. They fiared
when the two new nations of India and Pakistan
were born. The conquest OF Hyderabad was the
most recent episode in this strife.
What made this such a pointed example is the
fact that it exempliies the religious differences
existing among people racially of the same stock

is Moslem. But Indians Indians regardless of

conflict between peoples Of the same basic race
Arab and Jew sprang from the same Semitic stock.
In Greece Is similar dark picture OF brother
against brother. The main factor in this instance
might broadly be called of political theology
The rebels, following communistic design, seek to
overthrow authority.
Then there is China. This unhappy country has
been invaded many times-by Manchus, Mongols
and other eastern hordes The Chinese have absorbed
them all-and remain Chinese. Chinese brothers in
the Communist north and in the Nationalist south
are thus pitted against each other in another ideo
logical war.
And so the story goes
Berlin Riots Another Illustration
The case with which persons of one race can be
induced to battle their own compatriots has just
been illustrated by the riots in Berlin between Com
munist and non-Communist Germans.
The American Civil War proved that strife be-
tween peoples of the same basic stock is the most
bitter OF all. Each side has the same makeup, the
same outlook life, and the same determination
and the same willingness to battle to the bitter end
The pattern is being repeated around the world
today. Fights between enemies can be concluded
and closed out. Fights between brothers seem to
