RAIL STRIKE 0vER;;TERM5
 SATISFIED"
Second Fireman Demand 'Modified-Both Sides
 Happy Over Issues

CHICAGO, May 16NR-The na- tion's worst railroad strike in four years was settled today and striking firemen on five major rail systems were ordered back to their jobs i'm mediately.
 The struck carriers-their passen- ger and freight service disrupted by the six-day-old walkout-plan- ned to resume normal service "as rapidly as possible"
 The striking Brotherhood of Loco- motive Bremen and Enginemen re- called picket lines and ordered the strikers to return to work.
 Both sides expressed satisfaction over the settlement terms.
 The carriers said they won the fight on the principal issue-not to hire a second fireman on multiple unit diesel locomotives. They saio the union withdrew it's demand on the issue. which has been in dis pute between the brotherhood and carriers for more than 10 years.
 Union President David B. Robert son, in statement, termed as sat isfactory," the sediment "of all is- sues involved"
 The union said it did not with draw entirely" it's request for assignment of a third man on big diesel locomotives. A spokesman said the brotherhood modified" its de- mand.
 The strike, originally set for April 26, started May 10 against parts of the Pennsylvania, New York Gen. tral. the Southern Railway and Santa Fe systems. It was extended to the southwestern district of the Union Pacific railroad last Satur- day.
 Although only some 18,000 loco- motive firemen struck, the walkout disrupted much of the nations rail transportation and had made idle some 100000 workers-mostly rail- road employees.
 The break in the strike was an- nounced shortly after 3 am. (EST) and immediately the union sent telegrams to striking locals can ceiling the strike order.
 The union and carriers had met continuously for nine hours during the night and early morning hours. Sitting in at the peace talks were members of the National (Railway) Mediation Board.
 The main snag in the negotia- tions was the dispute over the hir- ing of second fireman on the big diesel locomotives.

 Specific Purposes

WASHINGTON. May 16-R-A group of big B-36 intercontinenta. bombers is to be moved to Spokane Wash. within easy reach of stra. tegic US. air bases in Alaska.
 This would place the heavy weights within combat range Of railway and industrial centers ir Soviet Siberia. By refueling ovei Alaska they could. extend theh reach.

Resentment Expressed By Juneauites af Labor'S
 Tie-up, Salmon Industry

The tie-up in the canned salmon industry is one of the worst things that can happen to Alaska at this time, according to many Juneau people.
 The present jurisdictional dis pute between the ILWU. controlled Local 7-C of the Food, Tobacco and Agricultural Workers and Local TT of the United Westinghouse Work CTS of America, recognized by the National CIO as bargaining agency for the salmon industry's nonresident workers, continues to be serious.
 The controversies involved are of jurisdictional nature and arise di- rectly from efforts of the National CIO to purge left-wing unions de- clared by the National CIO to be under Communist domination.
 When the Treasurers Office was contacted by an Empire reporter MT. Roden said that he has advised one of the attorneys for the Ma tional Labor Relations Board. with

AIR FORCE AvERT5 FLOOD WITH BOMBS NEAR FORT YUKON

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 16- R-The US. Air Force whipped the mighty Yukon river with six 500 pound bombs, breaking an ice jam that had threatened to send flood waters coursing again through the little Arctic village of Fort Yukon.
 Villagers reported by radio today the river was receding rapidly after fliers from Ladd Air Force base here bombed the ice pack Saturday. ' The flow was said to be nearly normal with few ice floes in the channel.
 Compared to other years, said the report by bush pilot radio, This is very tame"
 : During the ice breakup, water washed through the main streets and into the Northern Commercial Co.,, store and post office. Last year the village had to be rebuilt after being swept away by floods.
 Another ice pack was said to be forming at the junction of the Por- cupine and Yukon rivers but is still far below the danger level

Governor Given
 Degree, U Alberta

EDMONTON, Alta, May 16-4R- Democracy must mobilize it's full force to meet the menace of Com munism, Ernest Gruening, Governor of Alaska declared today.
 Addressing the annual convoca- tion of the University of Alberta at which he received the honorary de- gree of Doctor of Laws, Gruening said graduates are stepping out into world divided between two basic philosophies. The "chasm" between these concepts, Democracy ana Communist, is growing wider ano deeper, he said.
 To withstand the onslaught of im- perialist Communism, the Governor said, inner defenses, as well as military and economic forces, must be rendered impregnable.

CHINESE GIVE UP LAST ISLES OFF SHANGHAI.

TAIPEI, Formosa, May 16-tR- Nationalist China tonight announc- ed abandonment of the Chushan Islands.
 The official announcement, com- ing on the heels of VOWS by Ma tionalists to defend the islands to the death, said 150,000 troops were evacuated.
 Only yesterday a Nationalist gen. eral from there, who insisted that he not be named, said the battle for the Chushans had not startfd
 The Cushans were extremely inn portant to the Nationalists. From that base 100 miles southeast of Shanghai an effective air and nav al blockade of the big Communist port had been affected.
 Earlier today, Chiang Kai-Shek ,ledged to die defending Formosa- the only island left to the National ists-if he cannot beat back the Communist tide that previously swallowed all of mainland China.
 In view of the Nationalist re- treat from the Chushan Islands, their cause hit new low
 But Gen. Chow Chih-Jou, chief )f staff Of the Nationalist Army, attempted in Central News Agen- y statement, to excuse this defeat and such it must be considered oy saying the Nationalists hoped to smash the scheme of the Sov- jet imperialists and the Chinese Communists in starting joint of- fensive and meeting the Reds over all strategy"
 The ChuShan abandonment could have only a shocking implication to the rest of Asia-a part of which will meet shortly in Baguio, the Philippines, to discuss economic blocks to the Communist advance.
 Left to Chiang Kai-Shek and his dwindling forces is only Formosa with its 7,454,886 population.
 What hope they might have to iorestall total defeat rests with he Nationalist forces on the big .sland-forces that have a record only of backtracking and surrender before the Communists in the last TWO years.

 Frank Angerman, union business agent, said the men operating the power plant did not want to go through the picket lines and decided to go all out.
 He said the city had been given five. days in which to set up a pro- visional service.
 Earlier it was reported that pos sible supplemental service from the Northern Commercial Company, the Alaska Railroad and Ladd Air Force base would total 2250 kilo- watts-250 less than normal re- quirements.
 Angerman said the striking work men would not return to their jobs until assured of union shop clause. He listed seniority clause and grievance clause as other items which must be met before the strike ends"

NO INJUNCTION

SEATTLE. May 16-4R--A doctor involved in Alaska Salmon Industry picketing failed today to win a court order to stop it.
 The picketed physician is pr. R. E. Seth. He is the examining doctor for workers sent from here to Alaska by Alaska Salmon Industry. Inc.
 Judge Frank James, in refusing to grant a temporary injunction against the picketing. said:
 We are concerned with balanc- ing of the plaintiffs right to carry on lawful business. free from un- reasonable interference. and the de- fendants' (CIO Longshoremen's Union and it's new 7-C affiliate) right to freedom of speech
 He added: T believe that to en- join the defendants in this case from picketing the plaintiff :. would be to exclude them from peacefully exercising the right of free communication by drawing the circle of economic competition be- tween employers and workers so small as to contain only an em- ployer and those directly employed by him."
 Meanwhile, the longshoremen and their new 7-C cannery workers affiliate continued to tie up the Alaska Salmon Industry.
