It prompted an appeal by the War Labor Board that the workers re- turn to their jobs. The board labeled the stoppage a violation of labor’s no-strike pledge, although the union is independent and claimed it was not bound by the pledge of the major unions.

Wind, snow and high seas made the trip the roughest he had ever experienced, one of the passengers said, and the vessel which ordinarily makes about 8 knots, averaged 3'2 knots an hour The Explorer, it will be recalled, was the craft which rescued sur- vivors of the wrecked Northwestern, several years ago. In addition to the crew of five passengers who were lucky enough to get passage on the vessel were Robert E. Coughlin, Clerk of the U. 8. District Court; Olaf Hellar; Asker Jurgensen, Willlam J. Man- they, local contractor; Jack Golvin, and Glen J. Kirkham, who returned to Douglas and plans to enter some branch of the armed services. Back Payi;asure Passes for Those On A[an_ska R.R.

The employees were granted a' pay raise in January of this year after negotiation with the line's management and the agreement was reached that it would be retroactive to September 1, last year. The General Accounting Office held, however, that Congressional ap- proval was necessary. e The Belgian Congo covers an area equivalent to that of the 15 southern states. &"w‘amfmfl,fig“’ o hattan dailies were unable their first editions in the hands of readers this afterncon. i The union sought a 15 percent wage increase.
