Unions Have Lost
Millions In Wag es ,
In Maritime Strike
(Continued from Page One)
half the membership of the four
seafaring unions in the strike are
slid at sea.
Tied up in American ports are
172 vessels, nearly half the west
coast vessels which will be strike
bound when all reach port.
The union hiring hall and wages
are chief issues in the strike, which
began Sept. 2 after an 80-day
“cooling off period” under the
Taft-Hartley act failed to bring an
agreement on a new contract. The
longshoremen asked a 15-cent an
hour raise to $1.82, but were of
fered 10 cents.
The waterfront employers asso
ciation Friday asserted San Fran
sisco longshoremen already have
lost $1,813,800 in wages during the
'■non h of the strike, those in Los
Angeles $1,313,694, Seattle $801,
762 and Portland $654,394. The sea
faring unions have lost $5,300,000,
the employers said.
The army yesterday chartered
United Fruits S.S. Herdia as the
fifth ship in its growing refrigera
tor fleet for supplying troops in
the Orient. Shipping men express
ed fears the army transportation
corps may never go back to com
mercial shipping.
Longshoremen agreed to unload
1750 tons of copra from the lead
ing SS Arcadia Victory, damaged
some time ago when she hit a reef.
But company officials did not indi
cate whether they would deal with
the union even to this extent.

“The biggest catch of Sockeye Salmon in
Puget Sound since 1917 occurred in 1946, and
the biggest catch of Pinks in Puget Sound
since 1917 occurred in 1947.
“We credit this to the elimination of Fish

them.
“The citizens of Alaska are to be congratu

S. and British zones and the set
ting up by the west of a new Ger
man currency. All the western
moves were aimed at restoring or

munism thrives.
Russia blamed the west for the
Russian blockade of Berlin. Her
note went on:
“The United States government’s
declaration that a situation was
arisen which allegedly threatens
international peace and security
does not correspond with the real
state of affairs and constitutes
