Hawaii Firms Accept
New York Strike Talk
But Doubt Success
BY the Associuted Press

HONOLULU, Aug. 31.-Hawai-
ian employers pessimistically &C
cepted an invitation today to
enter New York negotiations on
September 7 to end the 123-day
dock strike.
Acceptance of Federal Media
tor Cyrus Ching's request for the
September meeting was voiced by
Chairman w. Russell Starr of the
employers negotiators.
Union acceptance is assured. A
meeting of the CIO Longshore-
mems and Warehousemen's Strike
Strategy Committee will be held
this morning, Robert McElrath.
it's spokesman, said.
Will Be Settled on Wages.
In a statement last midnight
Mr.. Starr said:
"The strike is going to be set
tied on the money because wages
are the basic ISSUE"
The ILWU struck May for a
32-cents-an-hour increase in the
$1.40 wage.
The money issue, Mr.. Starr said
"can be settled as we'll in Hawaii
as in New York, but since Harry
Bridges (union president) has
persistently refused to negotiate
seriously in Hawaii and has in
sisted that settlement can only
be reached outside Hawaii, we
have notified the United States
Cancellation Service that our
company representatives will
agree to 60 to New York in yet
another effort to end the strike.
No Cause for Optimism.
"We will be present for the
meeting with Mr.. Ching and
Harry Bridges and his committee
at pm, Wednesday, Septem-
ber 7.
IF by transferring negotiations
to the East Coast we can get the
ILWU seriously down to work we
are willing to try. However. we
do not approach the prospect OF
New York talks in optimism:
unless the union comes down
into a reasonable area of settle
ment, substantially below IA cents
Can hour increase) there is nc
more promise of an end to the
strike in New York than there is
in Hawaii.
"Our companies offered wage
increases first of 8 cents, then
of IL cents, then agreed to an
emergency territorial board find
ing of IA cents. The 1LWU has
rejected all these avenues OF settle
ment.
Ching Invokes Taft Act.
1--WE share with every person
in the islands the hope the HWU
will not pursue in New York the
same delaying tactics 1t has pur-
sued in Hawaii during four long
harmful months of blockade
tactics aimed at producing stale
mate and finally arbitration OF
wages"
Mr.. Ching, director Of the
United States Cancellation Serv-
lice, made his bid for labor peace
in the islands under provisions OF
the Taft-Hartley Law. The law
requires employers and unions to
participate fully and promptly
in meetings called by the Con-
ciliation Service in labor disputes
distributing the free flow of COM
merce.
Mr.. Ching asked that both sides
be represented in New York by
representatives fully authorized to
make a binding settlement.
A hearing on a request by the
union for an injunction against
Hawaii's recently enacted dock
seizure law was scheduled today

Chinese Reds Step UE
Offensive on Canton,
Invading Kwangtung
kx the AsxeeiofAd Press

by fhe Assoeiofeo Ffess
CANTON, Aug. 3l.-Chines'
Communist irregulars invaded
Kwangtung Province today. Ths
Red threat to Canton gained force
along an arc north of the Ma
tionalist capital eastward to the
sea.
Press dispatches said Red irreg.
ulars, equipped by Gen. Lieu Po-
eheng in Communicated Kiangs
Province. had knitted into North
eastern Kwangtung and taker
Pingyun, 210 miles northeast OF
Canton. They were reported stab
bing on southwark from there.
Whether this was the same new
Red drive the Ministry of National
Defense said was threatening
Lungchun was not clear. Lung
chun is 145 miles from Canton and
65 miles southwest of Pingyun
This would put it in the path oi
the irregulars' thrust past Ping
Jun.
Aim to Divert Nationalists.
The ministry did not say wheth-
or the threat to Lungchun was by
Red regular or irregular troops
Neither did it admit the Kwang-
tung border had been crossed.
One-eyed Gen. Liu apparently
was trying to force the National
lists to divert part Of their strength
to Northeastern Kwangtung te
make full scale invasion easier fol
his regular armies.
Liu has been reported getting
set for days along the Kwangtune
border west of Pingyun. He has
large troop concentrations poised
In the Kiennan Lungnan Ting
nan triangle 140 miles north
northeast of Canton. Canton is
the Kwangtung provincial capital,
Other forces from Liu's armies
have overrun Jucheng, ITO miles
north of Canton, and pushed on
to within 80 miles of the Canton
Hankow railway.
If they sever the rail line the
main Nationalist defense force for
South China would be cut off
from its major supply base, Cam
ton. Headquarters Of Gen. Pal
Chung-hsi are at Hengyang, on
the railway 265 miles north OF
Canton. ID
Reds Build Up Pressure.
Red pressure was building up
along a big stretch of the rail-
way from the east. Civilians be-
gan fleeing Kukong. q key rail
point only 125 miles north OF
Canton.
The Communist strategy seemed
to be to force Pals big defense
force to retreat southwestward
into his native Kwangsi province
and not defend Canton.
On the southeastern China
front, the Nationalists were re-
ported reinforcing Swatow. port
city east of Canton, with troops
from Fermosa. This move appar-
entity was In anticipation Of a
continued Red drive down the
coast. The coastal push now
threatens Annoy. s@=7-
