STUDENT NEWSPAPER
Mine Workers Maritime Union Continue Talks
By UNITED PRESS
President Truman may act today to avert a new coal strike and federal mediators will begin meetings tomorrow to settle a dispute that almost tied up half the nation's shipping.
The matter was dropped squarely in his lap yesterday when Cyrus Ching, mediation director, told John R. Steelman, presidential assistant, that any further efforts by his mediators would be "frilless."
John L. Lewis has threatened to renew the United Mine Workers strike on Wednesday, Nov. 30 unless operators come to terms with him.
To head off the walkout, President Truman could ask the U.M.-W. and the operators to submit their quarrel to a special finding board for study and recommendation on how to settle it.
If the two parties wouldn't agree to that move, President Truman could invoke the "national emergency" section of the Taft-Hartley Act, obtaining a court injunction that would delay the strike 80 days while a fact-finding board takes testimony. The board would have no power of recommendation. It merely could report the facts to the president.
The operators have said they will refuse any union demands that would force them to raise coal prices. But Mr. Lewis says his demands for pay boosts, shorter hours, and increased welfare benefits would cost the industry only 30 to 35 cents each ton of coal mined and that the owners could absorb this without raising prices.
Mr. Ching's top assistant, William N. Margolis, planned to meet tomorrow with officials of the A.F.L. Masters, Mates and Pilots union in an attempt to settle their dispute with East and Gulf Coast shippers.
Mr. Margolis said he would explore the issues with the union tomorrow, then hear the employers' side next week before calling joint sessions.
The union had been set to strike this week when Mr. Margolis worked out a last minute truce. Nevertheless, isolated strikes occurred on 12 to 14 vessels owned by shippers who did not participate in the mediation sessions that postponed the strike to Friday. Dec. 16.
The ships' officers are demanding a "rotary hiring hall" system to spread available work among all members of the union. The employers insist on the right to hire whomever they please.
The research commission of the Industrial council of the State Chamber of Commerce will visit the University Research foundation at its annual meeting Friday

Three research projects will be described to the group. The manufacture of paper from wheat straw will be discussed by ClarenceGrothaus research associate of the foundation.

A report on a bureau of government Research survey on how Kansas finances itself will be made by Jack McKay, special graduate student.
The group will tour the Museum of Natural History with E. R. Hall, director of the museum. They will also visit the Virus laboratory with Miss Cora Downs, professor of bacteriology.

US Closes China Consulate
Chungking, China. Nov. 17—(U.P.) The United States closed its consulate and information service office in the Nationalist capital of Chungking today as Chinese Communist troops drew closer from three directions.
J. W. Rozier, U.S. Vice-Consul,
also confirmed that the American
consulate in Kunming is the city of
100 miles south-west of here, had been closed.
Latest reports reaching here said Communist troops continued to push forward from points directly east, south, and northeast of Chungking.
Official military sources claimed Nationalist troops had recaptured Pangshui, 75 miles east of Chungking. The ministry of defense had not disclosed that the Communists had taken the city.
Acting-President Li Tsung-Jen was reported to have arrived in Hainan island, off the tip of the Chinese mainland, on his "inspection tour" of the waterfronts.
There was still no indication whether President Li would return to Chunking in answer to the urgent summons sent to him some days ago by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, generalissimo to the Nationalist capital from Fomossa in an effort to strengthen the weakening Nationalists.
Reports indicated President Li would be permitted to retain the office of president while generalissimo Chiang "will assist him" in the role of director general of the Kuomintang.
If the reports are borne out if would represent a tacit victory for President Li in the political struggle between him and Generalissimo Chiang.
Chang. Gen. Li Han-Huen Nationalist minister of interior, announced his resignation on arrival in Hongkong
