Lewis tried a second time today to end the paralyzing soft coal strike amid indications that a settlement is near. The first meeting of the Interior Secretary and the United Mine Workers' chieftain — a two and & half hour session — failed to pro- duce an agreement to reopen the mines. | Lewis had nothing to say to news- | men as he entered Krug's office at| 3 p. m. (EST), accompanied by | three associates. They were UMW Vice President John J. O'Leary and| two district presidents, Percy Tet-| low and John T. Jones. However, Senator Barkley (D-Ky) reported earlier, after a White| House visit, that prospects for an agreement were “hopeful” and one congressman said privately he un-/ derstood a settlement was immin- ent. PINKS LATE LEAVING STREAMS THIS YEAR SAYS EXPERIMENTER Sam Hutchinson, in charge of the fisheries experimental station at Little Port Walter for the Fish and Wildlife Service, Scientific Division, arrived here from Seattle this weekend and iIs to leave today or tomorrow for his station. Sclentist Hutchinson reports that the downstream migration of young pink salmon was about six weeks/ late in the Port Walter area this year, due to the late spring break- up. He stated, however, that the late run is favorable as there should be plenty of feed in the ocean for the small salmon at this late date. Principal project at the experi- mental station now is the marking of pinks in the stream to establish their homing instinct. The young salmon are being marked by clip- ping their dorsal and adipose fins. Abel Anderson Weds Bride from Flosida Miss Eleanor rotterton and Abel Anderson were married Saturday evening, May 25, at the home of U. 8. Commissioner and Mrs. Felix Gray in the presence of a few in- timate friends. Their attendants were Mrs. Olga Kletzing, sister of the groom, and Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Clauson. The bride recently came to Ju- neau from Miami, Florida, where she had served as County Deputy Olerk for 25 years. The groom, who is described as an “all-Alaskan,” grew up in Doug- las and attended school there, just across the street from the scene of his wedding. A wedding supper for the bridal party was enjoyed at Mike's Place in Douglas, following the marriage ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson will make their home in Juneau.
