Real Christmas Spirit Prevails On Juneau Streets With the mantel of snow offer- ing a perfect background, down- town Juneau was a busy place last night as many came out to take ad- vantage of the Saturday night shop- ping hours and stayed to join in the gala opening of the Terminal Cafe under the new managemient of Wilbur and Dorothy Irving. Shops and stores were jammed for the most part as the happy, Christmas-bound throng milled between the counters bent on buy- ing Yuletide things. Armed with bundles they depicted the true Christmas occasion. Early they started arriving at the new Terminal and the mellow music of pew orchestra at- tracted mi more who stayed on to dance make merry on the festive occasion.

Perkins SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 19. | —Peace negotiations collapsed on two fronts but dragged along on another in the west coast maritime strike tonight while tension in- creased between the “regular” and “rank and file” union elements. In the east both shipowners and representatives of the cooks and stewards conceded the week-long | peace-making efforts had broken down over workers' demands for the jeight-hour day. “Complete Disagreement” Employers’ representative Thomas G. Plant met to negotiate with the Masters, Mates and Pilots’ Union and announced shortly thereafter ‘“complete disagreement” over de- mands for union recognition and employment preference for its members. Plant announced, how- ever, that he expected to meet again with union representatives. The union issued a statement contradicting the one by Plant, asserting that demands by the own- ers over union control of ship’s officers was “unjust.” Lundeberg Still Trying Harry Lundeberg, sailors’ union spokesman, struggled along with [Plant in an effort to reach an agree- ment affecting that union and em- ployers. The strike went on the air na- tionally for the first time tonight when Roger D. Lapham, President of the American-Hawaiian Steam- ship Company, and Joseph Cur- ran, leader of New York's rank and file seamen’s strike, broadcast |statements of their positions on a nation-wide hook-up. Early today licensed personnel of |the Masters, Mates and Pilots' Un- icn, headed by E. B. O'Grady, met | with shipowners and representative |Plant for an important conference, the first time since the strike be- gan 51 days ago. They conferred over demands for union recogni- tion and prefereptial hiring, wage increase of approximately 15 per cent, but the conference broke up | with reported eptire disagreement. Bridges Back On Coast Harry Bridges, head of the Pa- cific Coast International Long- | shoremen’s Association, arrived in | San Francisco from the east today. Edward F. McGrady, Assistant Secretary of Labor, is leaving for Washington next week to confer with Secretary Prancis Perkins on Thursday, he announced. —e——— — (GOODPASTER MEN HERE IN BRIEF STAY Among those who arrived here yesterday afternoon on the Electra from the Interior, and took pas- sage for the States on the Princess Louise this morning, were Jack McCord and C.
