Moscow Reports
Siberian Meteor
LONDON, (JP) — The Moscow
radio reported today that a me
teor which resembled "a white-hot
cannon ball” was sighted Nov. 12
by the Leningrad Arctic Institute’s
polar station at Providence Bay, at
the northeast tip of Siberia across
Bering Strait from Alaska.
‘ The meteor was observed for
22 seconds at a height of 20 to 25
degrees from the horizon,” the re
port said. "Its trajectory was al
most a straight line. It produced
the impression of a white-hot fly
ing cannon ball. Its velocity was
relatively low, far below that of
falling stars. The meteor was of a
reddish-violet color and its huge
tail was light blue.”
The radio description, particu
larly as to velocity, coincided to
some degree with that of meteor
like objects sighted above Scandi
navian countries in recent months.

CIO Strikers Go To
Work; AFL Marine
Pickets Them
‘Continued From Page One
“nobody is going through.” Army
and navy piers were not picketed.
The committee for maritime
unity announced late last night
overwhelming approval by the
membership of the CIO interna
tional longshoremen and ware
housemen and the CIO marine en
gineers benevolent association of
compromise agreements reached
with employers during negotia
tions with federal negotiators.
The committee for maritime
unity said its CIO unions would
respect the AFL picket lines. Pro
visions were made however, for
security on board all vessels.
Captain May said the shipown
ers were offering a 15 per cent
wage increase—the same as ac
cepted by the CIO marine engin
eers—but did not include in the
pi opOi-ed contract the preferential
hiring cluase agreed to by east
coast operators. Details of the pro
posals were not otherwise reveal
ea.
A new dispute meanwhile flared
up on the Seattle waterfront,
threatening to tie up that port
even after others resume work.
The AFL checkers, affiliated
I with the international longshore
1 men’s association, demanded wage
' increases in line with the east
: Gulf and west coast scales, district
secretary Robert Collins soid. He
said employers were attempting to
force signing of a contract before
an arbitration decision can be
handed down.
M. G. Ringenberg, representing
the Washington waterfront em
ployers association, said his group
was simply demanding a clause
giving them the right to designate
the number of men necessary on a
job.

Republicans Seek
Patronage Jobs
WASHINGTON, (A>)—With the
Republicans ready to take over all
patronage jobs at the nation’s cap
ital when the 80th Congress opens
the more optimistic are looking
forward to the election two years
hence and figuring how many jobs
there are in the government serv
ice for good party workers.
Senator Bridges <R.- N. H.)
chairman of the committee that
handles capitol patronage has said
the Republicans intended to take
as many jobs as the Democrats did
in 1933 and that is all but a very
few. Those looking ahead have
dug up a list of all government
jobs not under civil service. This
was prepared by the Democrats in
1933 and shows all the jobs that
! are appointive.
