Pickets Tie Up Shipping
NEW YORK, N. Y.— (Soundphoto) — First evidence of the
nation wide ship strike that has tied up America’s major ports was
this picket line in front of the freighter "Cape Race” on New York’s
North river. The CIO unions are supporting the AFL’s seamen, and ,
some dock workers arc refusing to cross lines. The issue is refusal
of the Wage Stabilisation Hoard to approve an increase in pay won
by the seamen in collective bargaining with the ship owners.
Coal Workers
Stop Work Though
No Strike Called
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Sporadic
walkouts in some of the nation’s
coal fields lent emphasis to nego
tiations on John L. Lewis’ de
mands for a new contract and
higher pay today as government
and union conferees went back
into session.
Lewis himself was again absent
as the talks resumed after a week
end recess.
Reports from Kentucky told of
ten mines shut down and some
1,800 miners idle in stoppages at
tributed by United Mine Workers
officials to “restlessness over con
tract negotiations,” and a union
campaign to defeat Rep. May
(D.-Ky.) in tomorrow’s election.
A spokesman for the navy coal
mines administration in Pitts
burgh reported, however, that
there were no walkouts in Penn
sylvania, northern West Virginia,
Ohio and Maryland.
Mrs. Bigtalk—I had a terrible
dream last night. I dreamed that
all the animals that went to make
up my furs were standing around j
my bed.
Mrs. Backtalk—How silly to let
a few alley cats frighten you!

OPA Raises
Prices On Paints
WASHINGTON, (fP) — OPA
raised prices of most paints today
by 31 cents to $1.30 a gallon.
Agency officials also said soap
prices must be increased or decon
trolled.
The increase on paints was
granted because of higher costs of
linseed oil which was freed from
price ceilings Oct. 29.
Most of the products that go
into soaps also have been decon
trolled.
The point increases are effective
today at the manufacturers’ level
and may be passed on by all re
sellers until they reach consumers.
The OPA announcement said
the higher paint ceilings "are de
signed to remove any price im
pediment to production of the sup
ply of paints needed for the vet
erans housing program.”
OPA promised to watch market
prices of linseed oil “to determine
fi further price action will be
needed.”
OPA announced the increases
apply "on all trade sales paints—
those sold over the counter—and
on the intermediate oleoresinous
liquids used as grinding vehicles”
in manufacture of paint.
Hope Held For
Missing Packer
SEATTLE, </P)—Hope that 30
year-old Joe Blackburn, missing
four days, still waged a fight for
life in the snow-blanketed Amer
ican ridge district high in Wash
ington’s Cascades was expressed
by searchers today with the return
of the packer’s horse to his cabin.
H. L. Plumb of Seattle, Sno
qualmie National Forest supervis
or, said the animal returned to the
packer’s home at Goose Prairie
yesterday uninjured and with its
saddle and bridle removed.
The searching party took this
to mean that Blackburn had not
been involved in a fall and, if able
to remove the saddle and bridle,
was uninjured.
Efforts to backtrack the animal
through the snow-covered moun
tains were halted by darkness but
were to be taken up at dawn to
day.
Blackburn became lost after he
set out last Thursday to search for
Blake Lowry of Richland, a lost
hunter, who was found later that
same day.
MOVED AGAIN
The Nome Drug Co., which was
reported on the Eagle lot next to
the Nome Motors last Friday has
moved again to the Odd Fellow
lot next to the Nome Nugget,
where it is reported they plan to
stay for the winter.
