COAST, "Cooling Off” Injunction’ Staves Off Walkout Until September 2 | 3—p—| SAN FRANCISCO, July A “cooling off” injunction under | the Taft-Hartley Act today banned ! a tie-up of West Coast shipping at| least until September 2. | Taking action similar to that »f East Coast courts, Federal Judgé George B. Harris yesterday extend- ed a temporary restrainer for thej full 80-day period provided by! law. The temporary order, issued | June 14, had been extended once before, for 10 days, and would have expired July 4. The new injunc- tion dates from June 14 Judge Harris recognized the Gov- ernment’s contention that a mari- time tie-up would imperil the na- tional health and safety. His or- der called on both employers and | unions, whose strike originally was | scheduled for June 15, to bargain; in good faith. The order prohibiting a strike or lockout was directed against 182 unions and employer groups, who had been complying with the tem- porary restrainer. Main obstacle barring a settle- ment of contract negotiations is the hiring hall. Unions want to continue _the hall with a union dispatcher, as formerly. Employers contend * th violates the Taft- Hartley Act. His order noted dependence of the Hawaiian Islands and the Philippines on shipping; this coun- try’s “vital and immediate obli- gations” in foreign countries; and the requirements of its military and civilian personnel overseas. “No doubt through the medium of the National Labor Relations Board a prompt decision may be obtained from a reviewing court on this or any irreconcilable legal issue,” he commented. He said the Federal Conciliation Service was able to report ‘“con- structive results” in its efforts to reach a settlement during the time the temporary order called a halt to strike. —>>o——— ZENGERS HAVE VISITORS Miss Marjorie Jones of Alexan- dria, Virginia, arrived yesterday via the Pan American Airways to visit her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Zenger.

Truman May EISENHOWER Brief Program /ANDY MACK Seize Mines, - Strike Case WASHINGTON, | Government attorneys took a long look at the new draft law today to see whether it gives President | Truman the power to seize steel compx 1y coal mines if next Tues- | day’s threatened strike oceurs. ‘ The steel firms squared | festerday for what looks like a ‘m]m tussle with John L. Lewis | over his union shop contract with Ithe rest of the soft coal industry They asked the National Labor Re- July 3P away Jations Board to seek an injunction | against the union shop provision. The steel company mines pro- iduce one-tenth of the nation’s bi- | tuminous coal—but all of their out- {put goes to fuel the steel mills. Thus a strike at the “captive”| ‘mlm‘ would quickly become ser-| | fous. Closing down blast furnaces dnd steel mills would shortly para- |lyze the auto industry and hun- i dreds of other companies dependent jon steel for basic operations The stepped up national defense would be affected. That's where Mr. Truman's new | seizure powers fit into the picture. | The new draft law says he may take over “any plant, | facility” and operate it for the pro- j duction of government-ordered ma- ! terials in cases where the contrac- | tor has failed to produced on sche- | dule | program " This provision was inserted at' | the request of Senator Russell (D- | Ga), but there has been no official | opinion yet as to its possible ap- plication to the captive mine dis- pute. - WEATHER REPORT (U. 8.

KILLED BY ~ SON, EINO ‘Douglas Island Shooting Undiscovered for Five | Hours Yesterday Andrew Mack, 65-year-old ems |ployee of the New York Tavern, was shot and killed yesterday af- ternoon outside his Douglas Island home by his 38-year-old son, Eino, who had been recently released from a mental institution in the States for the third time ‘The murder was discovered about 6:45 p. m. when another son, Niilo, 32-year-old City of Juncau em- ployee went home for dinner and discovered his father's body under a canvas in the woodshed near the highway in front of their beach home. Niilo immediately realized what had taken place and, not seeing his mother around the house, came back to Juneau and reported to Deputy U. S. Marshal Walter Hellan. Slayer Reported Armed He told Hellan that he was sure that his brother had committed the crime and was hiding near their home armed with a rifle. He also expressed fear for his moth- er's safety. Knowing that Eino was a crack shot with a rifle, Hellan asked the Juneau Fire Department to sound. a 2-9 alarm calling its members to the Fire Hall where he asked ior volunteers to form a posse. Hel- lan and the posse drove near the house and approached the scene on foot. They discovered the body where Niilo had reported it and then continued into the house where Eino was apparently waiting for them. He surrendered to Hellan { without any sign of resistance and admitted killing his father. Shooting Admitted | Eino, who appeared ccol and un=; 'ruffled at all times, said: “I did it because he (his father) started trouble with my mother and me. The old man accused me of pick- ing on him.” Eino admitted hav- ying a rew with the elder Mack yesterday over the father's threat to put a lock and chain on the pantry door. Eino said that he shot his fath- er with a 30-40 Craig rifle when the latter was coming down the stairs to their home from the road. He declared that he had |lired two warning shots but he kept on coming after Eino stated ,“Stay back! I don’t want you around here anymore!” Eino said |that he then dragged his father’s, lmdy into the woodshed “to get him out of the way.” He said that he was “afraid of the old an. He's a lunatic.” P Mother Located ¥ ! Eino said that his mother was in the bedroom when the shots were fired from their porch, but tried to get out immediately after- ywards. He said that he told her to get back but that she left the house through a window. Mus. Mack was located by the posse late in the evening at the home of Chris Sundet, about a half- jmile away frem their home, which tis about the same distance from, the Douglas Bridge. Mrs. Mack was suffering from shock and could not be interviewed but was ap- parently not aware of what had ,l-.uppened to her husband The confessed slayer said that | the shooting took place about 1:40 p. m. and that he went to Juneau around 3 p. m. returning home labout 7 p, m. The posse arrived }on the scehe about 9:45 p. m. The shots were heard by Mrs. Warren, King, two houses away, who said she didn't do anything about it, although she was sure they were not fireworks being exploded. Mrs. |King and also Mrs. Ed Breckhus and Raymond Ells, also neighbors, saw Mrs. Mack on her way to iSundet's home, but figured that it was just a family dispute and didn't attempt to interfere. : Doctor's Report The body was taken to the Charles W. Carter Mortuary last night, where funeral arrangements will te made. This morning, Dr, William Whitehead was called to (Continued on Page 8ix)
