Bridges told a news conference1
that no law passed by the Hawa-!
iian legislature could force load
ing or unloading of island cargoes '
on the Pacific coast.
But even as he spoke, canned I
pineappe was being loaded for the
first time since the 1LWU struck
May 1 for a wage boost of 32
cents an hour. A new non-union i
firm, Hawaii Stevedores, Ltd.,:
was putting the shipment aboard
the Isthmian freighter Steel
Maker.
Asked if he thought the strike |
was near settlement, Bridges re
lied:
“More and more issues are being i
j
raised all the time.”
One way to settle it, he added,'
would be arbitration by a board
of Hawaiian businessmen not con
nected with any of the “big five”
• sugar agencies.
The union repeatedly has de
manded arbitration. Employers
have rejected it, contending they
should not be bound in advance to
accept an award on wages by
third parties who have no finan- |
cial responsibility.
^ Bridges referred to the “big
five” as “feudal lords,” and said
their attorney James Blaisdell
“got the horse laugh” in Washing
ton last month when he told a
Senate committee there was no
“big five.”
Father Murphy returned last
Friday from a vacation at Holy
Cross mission and states that the
mission caught their quota of sal
mon a month ahead of schedule.
He state dthat the gardens of the
mission were in excellent condi
tion.

Colorado Has
Bountiful Supply
Of Uranium
(By Oliver W. DeWolf)
WASHINGTON (£>), Colorado’s
uranium deposits are ample to
supply the nation’s vast atomic
enery program. Senator Millikin
'R.-Colo.* said yesterday.
Similar assurance came trom
Senator Edwin C. Johnson < D.
Colo.), who declared there is a
“tremendous amount of uranium
in the Colorado plateau country.”
Both Senators are members of
the Senate-House atomic energy
committee.
They spoke out as the United
States prepared to onto: into “ex
ploratory conversations" with
Great Britain and Canada on a
long range program of collabora
tion in raw materials, supplies
and exchange of atomic informa
tion.
At present, the United States
gets the great bulk of its uranium
—the basic material for atomic
weapons—from Canada and the
Belgian Congo.
In contrast to the rich deposits
of these mines, the Colorado uran
ium is scattered throughout the
carnotite ore of the region. It is
both difficult and expensive to ex
tract.
The primary mineral for uran
ium is pitchbblende. The atomic
energy commission has said no
one is actually producing that
mineral in this country.
