Pacific Sailors Union
Authorizes Strike
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. L.
-Four thousand members of the
AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific
voted yesterday to strike next
Tuesday noon unless the Wage
Sterilization Board approves a
pending S per cent wage increase
and other benefits.
The vote was taken in Commute
stop-work meetings held in San
Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Will
mington, Calf, and New York
City.
The gains were won by the sail
ors last July after a 62-day strike,
and the WSB has announced it
plans to consider approval We'd
Inesday, the day after election.
Refusal by the sailors to sign
on ships would mean a gradual
tie-up Of shipping.
Most of the commercial vessels
sailing out of Pacific ports even
tually would become involved.

about all the hiring it can now
do is to fill vacancies caused by
normal turnover.
FIRINGS-Defense officials say
that if they are to carry out the
additional programs voted by
Congress, they need additional
civilian employees. That's why
they will ask the new Congress to
lift the ceiling.
If the ceiling isn't lifted, it may
be necessary to dismiss some en-
ployes in various defense installa-
tions in order to hire others in
new and expanding installations
that have been created or en-
larged by the order of Congress.
When this incongruity was
pointed out to the 82d Congress,
some legislators told the depart
ment to use military personnel in
civilian jobs. But other Congress-
men are strongly opposed to this,
pointing out that it is more costly
to use military personnel.
The result is that the Defense
Department is severely hampered
by the personnel ceiling.
For example, the Air Force De-
partment. which is in the midst
of a large expansion program Or
dered by Congress, recently was
within 80 jobs of the personnel
ceiling limit set for it. In other
words, the Air Force, which needs
thousands of new civilian en-
ployes, could only hire 80 persons.
AS one Air Force official said:
1T just doesn't make sense. Con-
gress appropriates billions of dol
lars for our expansion program,
and then turns right around and
jeopardizes the whole thing by
telling us we can't hire people to
do the job they have given us
to do"

|Sparkman Says South
Can Expect Nothing
From Republicans
By The Assoeioted Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. L.
Senator Sparkman in a South
wide radio address tonight de-
iclared: THE South can expect
nothing in the future from the
Republican Party"
"They have made on real effort
to build a responsible party in
the South" he said in a speech
delivered at a Statewide Demo-
|cratic rally here.
The Democratic candidate for
Vice President, a native of Ala
bama. charged that Republican
leaders from Tom Dewey to Bob
Taft hold the South in contempt
and derision.
Even while Gen. Eisenhower
was travelling through the South
'honey-chiling' everybody, Gov.
Dewey was viciously attacking me
because I am an Alabaman and a
|SOutherner. &.t.s
He derides the idea of .
Southerner on the ticket while
at the same time, Eisenhower is
assuring a Chicago audience that
no Scutherner will be eligible for
a place in his cabinet or for any
place of high responsibility.
I'm the eyes of the Republicans,
a man is ineligible simply because
he is Southerner. The Republi-
cans have never recognized the
South, and they haven't changed
a bit this time, simply because
they have a five star general
fronting for them"
The Alabama Senator hurled his
attack at the Republican leader
ship near the close of a campaign
in which the G. o. P. has made
its strongest attempt in many
years to break the Democratic
hold on the Solid South"
The rally at which he spoke
climaxed a vigorous Democratic
effort to insure that Alabama re.
mains in the party fold Tuesday.
Alabama was one of foul
Southern States that gave theil
electoral votes to the States Right!

Hard Coal Pay Accord
Faces Uncertain Fate
Before Wage Board
By Jones Y. Newton

A new agreement between John
L. Lewis United Mine Workers
and the anthracite operators faced
an uncertain fate last night at
the Federal Wage Sterilization
Board.
The contract was signed yester-
day. The, main provision would
give a wage increase of $1.9O a
day to about $1,000 hard coal
miners. mostly in the eastern
Pennsylvania fields. The operators
also agreed to raise their pay
ments from 80 to so cents a ton
to the anthracite miners welfare
and retirement fund.

Coal operators Immediately ap-
piled to the WSB for approval, q
necessary step before the contract
can become effective. There was
no indication when the board
would act in the case.
Rejected Soft Coal Increase.
But two weeks ago, the board
refused to approve a wage boost
Of similar size for the 375, 900 soft
coal miners. An industry-wide
strike. resulting from the ruling
cutting the raise to $1.50 a day
was called off last Monday by Mr.

Truman's request when the case
was appealed to Economic Sta
bilizer Roger L. Putnam.
The soft coal appeal, presuma-
bly,, still is before Mr.. Putnam

Pay Conditions Differ.
The work situation in the hare
coal fields is different from that
in soft coal where nearly all work

a third of the anthracite miners
are not paid by the hour, but work
under tonnage contracts with the
operators.
Industry sources were hopeful
of WSB approval in view of the
difference in work arrangements
Neither Thomas Kennedy, vice
president of the UNIV, nor Ed
