Stevedores Reject
Plan for Hawaiian
Strike Settlement
(Continued from Page One)
declared if violent attempts were
made to break the strike, long
shoremen along the whole Pacific
Coast would shut down.
Stevedores cheered a message
from Bridges saying $2,500 was
coming at once for strike relief.
More financial support was prom
ised from Portland and San Fran
cisco stevedores.
Employers offered a wage in-J
crease of 12 cents an hour in an;
attempt to head off the strike.,
They insist stevedores here have,
steadier pay and better working
conditions than those on the main-;
land.
The stevedores walked through,
a “people’s picket” line as they en-j
tered a school building where the;
balloting took place.
The 250 pickets, most of them
women, urged the stevedores toj
j accept 14 cents.
President Truman in Washing-]
ton endorsed the plan. So did the
newspapers, the Honolulu Catho
lic Diocese and the Philippine
, Consul General. Most of the steve
dores are Filipinos.
The Honolulu stevedore local is
i Hawaii’s largest. But a total of
aboul 1.100 others were voting to
day on the islands of Hawaii, Maui
j and Kauai.
It was believed generally that
I the vote in Honolulu clearly fore
casts a rejection elsewhere.
Cook Inlet Fishing
Strike Spreads
—
ANCHORAGE, bP)—The strike
of the Alaska fishermen's union
and the international fishermen
! and allied workers of America
l cannery workers on Cook Inlet
spread yesterday to Prince Wil
liam Sound.
Affiliates on the two unions at
j Cordova served strike notice on
, the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc.,
| effective at 6 a.m. today. The ac
| tion followed the rejection of price
increases offered by the Industry.
Meanwhile, CIO picket lines
were expected to be set up again
! here at the plants of the Emard
| Packing company and the General
Fish company, a union spokesman
said. They were removed Tuesday
after a clash with members of the
rival AFL-United Fishermen of
i Cook Inlet.
The tenderrqen aboard the
Emard cannery vessel Smith re
fused to put out yesterday. Two
members are still operating, Al
! fred Owen, business agent of the
AFL-union, said, and two others
are also available.
The red salmon run into the in
let appeared to be picking up as
tenders landed between 600 and
| 700 fish yesterday.
Industry representatives offered!
the Cordova fishermen 68 cents j
| for silvers, 35 for chums and 30 j
for pinks, J. Ham Lennen, execu
tive secretary of the Cordova dis
trict fishermen’s union, said. Thej
union has been asking 75 cents for
silvers, 40 cents for chums nad 30
for pinks providing other demands
are met by the strike deadline.
Should the industry refuse the
union request, prices of pinks ivill
be boosted to 32 cents, Lennen
said.
Cook Inlet fishermen have ob
jected to the industry’s paying
“substantially higher” prices in
Cordova, a spokesman said.
Survey Asks Jap
Fishing Ban
Be Continued
SEATTLE, (A*)— The continued
closure ot coastal waters ot all the
allied powers to Japanese fisher
men was recommended in a rei>ort
by a special American fisheries
mission released yesterday through
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Serv
ice.
The report, which followed a
survey of the Japanese fishing in
dustry, further urged that “it be
made clear to the Japanese that
subsidies on export of fish or
‘dumping’ will not lie tolerated.”
The survey, requested by the
supreme commander for the Al
lied powers <SC’AP>, was made bv
a three-man group of experts,
headed by Edward W. Allen of
Seattle, U. S. commissioner for
the international fisheries commis
sion.
They recommended the ban of
Japanese fishing in Allied coastal
waters be continued as long as
SCAP has control.
The observers concluded that
when the peace treaty with Japan
is negotiated permanent fisheries
treaties should also be drawn, pro
viding for <1> protection of world
coastal fisheries. <2> sound poli
cies for high seas fishing, <3> and
international whaling convention,
(4) a fur-seal treaty and *5' re
spect for international fisheries
conventions.
Credit Buying
Controls Removed
WASHINGTON The terms
allowed installment credit buyers
are up to the dealers today. The
government has nothing more to
say about it.
Federal reserve board authority
to limit installment credit terms
expired last night at midnight.
Congress purposely let it lapse.
The controls, quite strict in war
time, were allowed to lapse for an
11-month period beginning in
1947. Then Congress renewed the
law last summer.
For the past nine months the
federal reserve board has made
its controls more and more lenient
so that those expiring last night
actually were no stiffer in most
respects than dealers used to im
pose of their own accord in pre
control days.
Some officials thought it possi
ble used car dealers may now re
quire less than the usual one-third
down payment.
