JUNEAU, ALASKA, WAR CLOUDS LO COAST STRIKE 1S HALTED BY ARBITRATION Mediation Board Confer- fering with Maritime Workers, Owners MANY QUESTIONS ARE TO BE HANDLED NOW Shippifig Activities Report- ed to Be Approaching Normal Again SAN FR A N CISCO, Cal, July 26.—With the members of the President’s Mediation Beard in conference with the muritime workers and ship- cwners in settlement of the recent strike, waterfront ac- tivities are reported return- ing to normal along the Pa- cific Coast. There are several import- ant questions to be. decided before all longshoremen and| other maritime workers re- turn to their former posi- tions, it is said. In Seattle, shipowners be- lieve Alaska shipping will again revert to that port be- fore the end of the week but this is not definite. ARBITRATION VOTE SCO, Qal., July 26. ght it was announced that the vote of Pacific Coast longshoremen was 6,388 for arbi- tration to 1,410 against with most of the ballots reported. Only the small port of Raymond, ‘Washington, returned a majority against arbitration. Problems Tackled The Mediation Board immediate- ly tackled the problems incidental to a formal ending of the walkout and return of union men to their jobs. The members of the Media- tion Board conferred with employ- ers and unionists, then arranged for preliminaries for resumption of waterfront and shipping activ- ity during the arbitration and con- ciliation period. Are Wide Apart Rumors were ‘circuiated last night that the shipping interests and unions were widely apart on some questions including what to do with the non-union men who work- ed during the walkout. Under tentative peace arrange- ments, the longshoremen's issues will be submitted to the President’s Board for arbitration and striking maritime men will choose repre- sentatives for conciliation with the ship owners. If this fails, sallors and employers will also submit to grbitration. MEIER HAS PLAN PORTLAND, Ore., July 26— Gov. Julius L. Meler last night arranged for a temporary state controlled hiring hall to open to- day through which regular long- shoremen may be employed. Neither employers nor strikers had agreed to use.the hiring hall last night.

She is only 187 feet long, but into her comparative small space is crammed equipment that robs the submarine service of its old-time terrors. P Rescae Chamber There is a rescue chamber for bringing up men trapped in a sunken submarine; sensitive “me- chanical ears” which locate sunk- en submarines; there is equipment for burning away steel, electrically, at the bottom of the sea and there are powerful air compressors and; hundreds of fathoms of armored Ihose, for use in “blowing” a sunk-; |en submarine to the surface. “Iron Doctor” An important item of the Orto- lan's gear is the “iron doctor.” This is a big steel decompression cylinder, used to prevent the bends by gradually reducing the air pres- sure around divers who have been : working far”® below the level of the sea. The Ortolan carries one master diver and eight first-class and six second-class divers. She is com- manded by Lieut. J. Eckhoff. |Freedom of—Ships Granted {the Government dock to the an- !leading to the control room the lengine rooms and the mess divis- SUBMARINES ARE OPEN TO PUBLIG TODAY, FRIDAY to Residents of Channel During Visiting Hours Residents of Gastineau Channel will be welcomed aboard the Navy vessels now in the channel during visiting hours this afternoon and tomorrow morning when they will have the freedom of the ships and government boats will be provided to carry them from the float at chored craft and return. With the exception of the per- sonal quarters of the crews of the vessels, and the torpedo rooms, all portions of the vessels will be open to inspection. The torpedo rooms may be visited provided an escort of a member of the ship's crew is available. Starting down through the hatch visitors will be allowed to pass | through that chamber, the main ion of submarines. No escorts will be needed for this tour. Visiting hours this afternoon are from 1 o'clock to 4 o'clock and tomorrow morning from 9 o'clock until 11 o'clock. Upon the arrival of the remainder of the ships to- morrow afternoon visiting hours ALASKA SHOULD) HAVE BASE FOR SUBS, TROY SAYS Governor Stresses Its Im-| portance at Meeting of Chamber Today “Alaska ought to have a sub- marine base as well as an air base since both are equally necessary and important arms of the coun- try’s military strength,” declared Gov. John W. Troy at today’s Chamber of Commerce luncheon at which Lieut. Commander Humbert W. Ziroli, in command of the Wrangell detachment'of the under and commanding officer . of the submarine Narwhal, Lieut. Com- mander John B. Griggs, command- er of the Dolphin, and Lieut. Fred- erick’ F. Eckholt, commander of ‘the Ortolan, relief ship, were guests. The advance guard of the ex- pedition was unofficially welcomed today. The officlal welcome will be extended at a special luncheon at 12:30 p.m. Saturday for Ad- ‘|miral Cole and his staff. Hawaiian Base Inadequate Gov. Troy declared that the great Hawalian navai base at Pearl Har- bor is not adequate for protection of the nation’s interests in the Pa- marines can stretch out a thousand miles, an Alaskan base is neces- sary to stretch the other half “of the distance. “If any enemy coun- try should undertake to establish a ferry service across the Pacific as we did across the Atlantic in 1917-18, the only way to break it up would be submarines and air- planes from the Hawalian base and from a base in Alaska,” the Gov POSRREATER AT Value of Submarines Stleued Lieut. Commander Ziroli, who briefly introduced his fellow of- ficers, stressed the value of sub- scheme. “As long as we have sur- face craft, commercial as well as military, we have got to Mave the submarine. It is an essential fea- ture, defensively as well as offen- sively, to the nation.” Previous discussion of the Cham- ber had dwelt largely with aircraft and landing facilities. “I can see | you are airminded as you should be.

Each day during | their stay, visitors will be per- mitted aboard between 9 and 11 am. and from 1 to 4 p.m. Are Enjoyinz Visit He said the trip to date had been delightful and highly enjoyable. The hospitality shown on every side has been most markeéd. “Our impressions of Alaska are increas- ing a thousandfold every day,” he added. In fact, there has been only one incident that might have been un- fortunate. - During the visit at Wrangell, one of the sailors passing in front of a curio store, before which were some totem poles, stumbled and fell. A patrol and ship's police rushed to his side and wanted to know what it was all about. “Well,” said the fallen bluejacket, | m¢ “I don’t think so much of Alaska, even the telegraph poles are mak- ing faces at me.” Predicts: Most Visits More than 95 per cent of the officers and men in the division, for the entire fleet will be an- nounced.
