a September 22, 1948. DECATUR HERALD NATIONAL Longshoreman, Truck Strikes' Grip Is Eased By the Associated Press The throttling grip of two major strikes--New York truck drivers and West Coast longshoremenwas eased Tuesday. Trucking conditions in New York approached normal as striking A. F. of L.

teamsters reached individual wage agreements with most of the major employers. A spokesman for the Association of American Railroads said a partial railroad freight embargo would be lifted. The embargo was declared when the truck strike started three weeks ago. A SPOKESMAN for the teamsters union said his group may seek uniform wage levels to stabilize contracts. Various locals have signed contracts with various employers at different rates.

Most of the settlements were on the basis of a cents hourly wage increase and a hospital fund costing the employers five cents an hour per man. The old contract provided wages of from $53.90 to $71.40 for a 40-hour week. At West Coast ports, C.I.O. longshoremen began loading army cargoes aboard ships for the first time since a strike was called Sept. 2.

The striking maritime unions also agreed to load winter supplies for Alaska, before such shipping is endangered by Arctic ice packs. THE ARMY cargoes are being handled through temporary agreements with firms not affiliated with the Waterfront Employers association. Longshoremen handling army cargoes are receiving the pre-strike wage of $1.67 an hour. The union is seeking a 15 cents hourly wage boost from the association members. Any future wage increase would be made retroactive for longshoremen handling the Alaskabound cargoes.

Director Max W. Ball of the Interior department's gas and oil section said that if the West Coast refinery strike continues "the whole country will feel its effects this winter." Negotiations continued in California to end the 18-day-old deadlock. Dewitt Delegates Named To Education Meeting Clinton.

"ILLINOIS POWER is mentally under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce commission. We must find out where we are. We can't be under two commissions," Mr. Hight declared. The relationship of jurisdictional powers between the I.

C. C. and the Federal Power commission is even a bigger question than tailment of some Illinois Power customers, Mr. Hight continued. Another point to be settled, he added, is the extent by which the F.

P. C. can take industrial gas and store it. "This question must be settled now, not only for this summer, but probably for next summer as well." MR. HIGHT PRAISED the I.C.C.

stand that Illinois customers. among the first to be served by Panhandle, are entitled to their full contractural requirements. He recalled this has been the consistent contention of Illinois Power and the I C. during F.P.C. hearings in Washington into Panhandle's ability to furnish gas to its farflung service area extending from Kansas to Michigan.

The projected I. C. C. hearing should clarify "a lot of the issues involved in the natural gas problem," Mr. Hight observed.

Decatur industrial spokesmen, Mayor James A. Hedrick and Mr. Hight all testified before the commission yesterday to the extent of hardships which the unexpected cutback of gas would produce. HIT HARDEST in Decatur would have been the A. E.

Staley Mfg. Co. (and its Illinois farmer suppliers) and the U. S. Mfg.

Co. The Collins Construction which uses natural gas exclusively to heat paving materials, yesterday had started arrangements for a firm "summer gas" contract to supplant its interruptible agreement. This in itself would have enabled the company to complete the West Grand avenue paving job (now expected Thursday afternoon or Friday morning) and other road and school-playground commitments. The U. S.

Mfg. according to General Manager M. B. Shafter, was faced with a drastic production cut and employment layoff within 10 days. About 75 employes would have been affected.

He said the company also has new orders in sight-including some from the army's corps which could not be accepted unless natural gas supplies were assured. Cleveland C. Haws, 63, Ill for Year, Dies Cleveland C. Haws, 63, 824 North Lowber street, died at 1:15 p. m.

Barkley Lauds Demo Ag Record Wilmington, Sept. 21 (AP) Sen. Alben W. Barkley, Democratic vice presidential nominee, opened a nationwide speaking tour today with three Delaware speeches in which he stressed the Democratic farm record. Despite bad weather which.

drove him indoors at the first speech in Georgetown, the 70-year-old party "wheelhorse" was greeted by large crowds in this Republican agricultural state. "It has been the Democratic party that has initiated practically all the legislation in the history of United States for the benefit of farmers and agriculture," Barkley told an estimated 400 cheering listeners at Georgetown in heart of the Delaware poultry section. Statistics show he said, that farm income in Sussex county increased from four million dollars in 1932 to 85 million dollars last year, making it the third wealthiest agricultural county east of Mississippi river. "I don't give all the credit to Democrats," he said, "but it certainly wasn't due to the Republicans." Democratic administrations, he said, started major farm programs such as rural electrification and soil conservation and kept them alive despite Republican apathy.
