Fourth Missing Ship Spurs
Caribbean Pirate Rumor
BY the Asseeioted Press

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad,
May 16.-Another schooner was
reported missing yesterday-mak-
ing a total of four-and gave
added strength to reports of q
pirate ship terrprizing the Carib-
bean.
The Acton schooner United
Brothers left Trinidad u days
ago with 10-including preg-
nant woman-on voyage To
Union Island, off Antigua. The
voyage normally would take less
than two days. but her owners
reported there has been no word
from the United Brothers since
she sailed.
Three other craft-carrying
seven men-were lost during the
last month without explanation,
Rumors of Pirates operating a
high-speed cutter off this island
spread terror among fishermen,
and many refuse to ply their
trade.
Police, working on the theory
that the pirates are looting YES
sells, killing off crews and weight
ing the bodies before dumping
them into the sea. are dragging
the gulf in search of clues.

Strike Against Railroads Settled
By Agreement for Arbitration

will be submitted to an arbitra-
ton board. He said other issues
were Of "a minor character and
easily adjusted"
The walkout had curtailed op-
erations in many industrial lines
and struck hard at the coal mining
operations in Western Pennsyl-
vania.
The struck lines attempted to
maintain some service during the
walkout. but freight movements
on the carriers were far below
normal. The five lines normally
handle more than a third of the
Nations rail passengers and more
than a fifth of the rail freight.
The strike was applied to the
Pennsylvania Railroad area west
and north Of Harrisburg. Pa: the
New York Central west of Buffalo,
and the entire Santa Fe and
Southern Railway Systems. The
union last Saturday extended it to
the Salt Lake City to Los Angeles
branch of the Union Pacific Rail-
road. which uses some Santa Fe
tracks.
Called Demand "Featherbedding. /"
The railroads had estimated
that granting of the unions chief
issue would cost them $40 million
year. The carriers rejected the
proposal, terming the unions de-
mand "featherbedding."
A spokesman for the railroads
said arrangements comment on
the settlement was directed at
"featherbedding" and what he
termed the Indebtedness of the
Railway Labor Act"
A statement issued by the chair
men of the three Negotiation Com
mittees for the carriers said:
This experience should end any
illusion that Railway Labor Act
assures healthy labor manage
ment relations or protects the
public against paralyzing strikes.
The railroads have stood their
ground against the featherbedding
demands of the firemen's union
only at tremendous cost to the
companies involved. their en-
ployes, workers in other industries
that were hit by the strike, ship
pers. travellers and the public at
large.
THE losses. inconvenience and
interruption of production occa-
stoned by this strike simply do not
make sense.
Two fact-flnding boards-one
appointed by President Roosevelt
and the other by President Tru-
man-reviewed the manpower is
sues in this long-standing dispute
and concluded that the unions
claims were without merit. That
should have been conclusive"

Winnipeg Strengthens
Levees as River Crest
Begins Passing City
BY the Associated Press

WINNIPEG, Manitoba. May 16.
Hip booted volunteers and SOL
diers piled more and more sand
bags behind Winnipeg's sodden
levees today. hoping they would
still hold as the Red Rivers flood
crest surged through the greater
Winnipeg area.
Brig. Ronald Morton, flood con-
troll chief. warned "a catastrophe
could still happen" But early
today the Red and its two tribu-
taries, the Seine and Assiniboine.
had held steady for 80 hours at
SOL feet.
That was - feet above flood
stage for the district but repre-
sented a drop of one-tenth of a
foot from the 1850 hgih reported
Sunday.
Though the army had COM
pleted final plans for a rapid
clearing of the entire area If tor
rental rains should again raise
the river much higher, there ap-
peared some slackening in the
steady stream of women and chill
dren who have been leaving the
city.
$4,000 Have Left City.
Already an estimated 10000
have gone to safer villages and
towns north. east and west of
the city. They left in answer to
official appeals for voluntary
tightening of the load on the city's
overtaxed public utilities.
But where thousands had
crammed railway and bus sta
tions during the week end. only a
few hundred today were moving
to the safety of dry centers.
D. M. Stephens, deputy min
lister of natural resources for
Manitoba, said last night the
rivers crest was passing the me-
tropolis. He predicted the wa
tiers would start a gradual drop
at noon today if no complications
occurred.
However. Army flood control
authorities still warned that
tragedy of life or further loss of
property still is quite possible"
Heavy rains anywhere in the wa
tersheds of the three rivers. they
said, might quickly wipe out any
gains and send the streams surg
ing still higher.
ASsiniboine Rises Slightly.
The Assiniboine already was ris-
ing slightly miles west in Sas-
katchewan. but no serious trouble
was expected from this.
Meanwhile, weary, water soaked
workers on the soggy. strained
bikes continued their anxious la
Dor to bolster the protecting
earthworks. Even If the waters
slowly receded as expected, the
levees still might give way.
Experts said the Red and its
two tributaries would have to fall
feet at least before greater Win
nipeg's bikes could be called out
of danger.
