Tugboat Strike ,
In Puget Sound
Seems Certain
_
SEATTLE, </P) — Chances of \
avoiding a tugboat strike on Puget]
Sound were described as “almost
hopeless” yesterday after a meet- I
ing of union and management
representatives with a federal la- \
bor conciliator.
The glum report was made by a
union official who said the prin
cipal stumbling block in the way
of an agreement was the demand
of unions for a two-week annual
vacation in place of a demand for
a 40-hour work week. The men
now work at least 48 hours.
Involved in the dispute are the
masters, mates and pilots and in
land boatmen’s union, and some
25 tugboat firms from Olympia to
Bellingham.
Capt. John M. Fox, union lead,
er, said authority for the strike
has been voted. He estimated a
two-week stoppage would idle
some 35,000 to 40,000 men in vari
ous industries dependent upon
the tugboats.
Uniqn and operator representa
tives will meet again around the
first of April in a final effort to
reach a settlement.

erman. Names or whereabouts of

tified by police as Wallis S. Wind
ley. They had no home town.
Manning said he was unable to
remember anything about the fire.
He said he had joined the others
downtown and had accompanied
them to Mrs. Taasivigen’s apart
ment for a clam feed.

McCarthy’s stat ement was
prompted by another one made at
a news conference late Monday
by Senator Tvdings (D.-Md.).Tyd
ings is chairman of the Senate
foreign relations sub-committee
which is looking into McCarthy’s
contentions that there are 57 card
carrying communists in the state,
department.
“Up to the present time,” Tyd
ings declared, “neither Senator
McCarthy nor anyone else has
given us the name of a single per
son who is accused of being a
communist. On March 6 McCar
thy has publicly accused nine per
sons of being pro-communist or
otherwise bad security risks. He
has turned over 106 other names
to the committee for study behind
closed doors.
Tydings said McCarthy has not
lodged definite charges against
anyone on the list of 106.
I . of A. Mining
Extension Course
Starts March 27
<Continued from Page One)
students with minerals of known
or likely occurrence in tin Terri
tory. Crystal habits, physical char
acteristics such as color, luster,
specific gravity, and cleavage,
with simple blow-pipe and chem
ical tests, are studied in labora
tory exercises to develop facility
in the recognizable characteristics
of the minerals themselves. Some
time is devoted to a study of their
natural associations, such as min
eral groups and rock types, in or
der to assist the prospector in con
fining his search to the more like
ly places for deposits of the vari
ous minerals.
The course in geology will
i cover the fundamentals of physi
cal geology which are directly ap
plicable to the practical problems
of the prospector. These geologic
principles are of prime import
ance in the search for minerals as
i well as in the development of
mines. Occurrence of minerals of
commercial value are likely in
certain rock types and extremely
unlikely in others and the recogni
tion of these t; pas will be empha
sized. A study of ore-forming pro
cesses which will assist the pros
pector in la is search will also be
included.
The course in prospecting and
mining consits of lectures on
methods of prospecting and min
ing, both placer and lode.
Two high lights of the course
will be a lecture on mining law
and another on radioactive miner
als with a demonstration of a
Geiger counter.
