The strike for a 20 per- cent wage bkoost has cut power available to industries in the area. At Hollywood At Hollywood, Sheriff Eugene Biscailuz called in 150 additional special deputies to police the gates of the major studios aiter pro- claiming Los Angeles County in a state of emergency. The three day dispute between the AFL confer- ence cf studio unions and the rival AFL' International Association of Theatrical Stage Employees has been marked by several outbreaks of violence when non-strikers crashed CSU picket lines. In Washington In Washington, Labor Depart- | ment representatives conferred with ship owners and representatives of ithe AFL and CIO unions. The AFL masters, mates and pilots are de- manding a 30 percent boost in wages and the CIO Marine Engin- eers Beneficial Association 35 per- 'cent. Another Monday strike threat, {for a 33 cents hourly wage increase, was made by Harry Bridges' CIO longshoremen, engaged in contract talks at Sen Francisco. Labor Holiday The proposed 24 hour labor holi- day at Pontiac, Mich., was threat- ¢ned when the AFL Teamsters un- lon decided to join the CIO in bar- ricading the city against all in- coming bus and truck traffic for a day. The action was described as a protest against the “city's failure” to settle a 32 day strike of muni- cipal workers. Settlement of a five months AFL strike against Pacific Press, Inc., which prints the western editions of Time and Life Magazines, was announced in Los Angeles. The company agreed to a “modified un- ion shop.” - NORTHERN VOYAGER IS COMING NORTH; 2,000-TON CARGO Freighter Northern Voyager of the Alaska Transportation Company, led from Seattle yesterday for Southeast Alaska ports with a 2,000- ton cargo. The Oduna of the Alaska Steam- ship Company, is listed to sail from Seattle today for Bristol Bay ports, and the Victoria, same line, is sched- | uled to sail for Nome. It all depends on the strike sched- | uled for Monday whether the North- |ern Voyager will complete the trip or be tied up at Ketchikan. e More than 100,000 new products have appeared on the American market since 1900,
