Shipping Strike Postponed Today By US Request
Bv UNITED PRESS
Mr. Margolis succeeded in obtaining the truce shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday. It postponed the strike for a month. But either party can end the truce on written notice before Monday to the other party and to the federal mediator.
A strike that would have tied up half the nation's commercial shipping was postponed today at the government's request and it was reported that the coal dispute would be handed to the White House for action by President Truman.
The ship officers had called a strike for 12:01 a.m. today to enforce demands for a "rotary hiring hall" system to insure a fair spread of work among members.
Meanwhile, Cyrus Ching, mediation director, was convinced that he could do no more to prevent the mine e ployes from striking again in two weeks.
The trace in the shipping dispute was negotiated by William N. Margolis, assistant chief federal mediator, between 38 major East and Gulf Coast ship operators and the A.F.L. Masters, Mates, and Pilots union.
The steel industry was nearing full production as plants touched off additional blast furnaces and started auxiliary mills operating in an attempt to catch up on time lost during the C.I.O. Steelworkers strike. A number of small plants still were strikebound, however.
Ching planned to present the problem to President Truman, who can take action either by appointing a special fact-finding board to investigate the wage and hours dispute, or by invoking the Taft-Hartley act to obtain an 80-day delay on the strike while a board investigates.
The United Mine Workers charged in a statement made Tuesday night, that the mine firms were "setting the stage for a gigantic price gouge" that would hike coal prices 50 cents to $1.50 a ton.
The statement said two companies had "surreptitiously raised the perfor- tion price of their coal to the retail dealer from 25 to 75 cents a ton." The two firms, Eastern Gas and Fuel Associates and the Pocahontas Fuel Company, promptly denied the assertion.
The union predicted if the coal hikes went through, "the public will be sold a bill of goods that it's all about," the union said in United Mine, Workers of America.
The U.M.W.'s blast came shortly after it paid fines totalling $1,420-000 dollars levied against the union and Mr. Lewis for failing to obey a court order to call off a coal strike in 1948.

Art Professor To Speak On Race Relations Today
But he was inclined to dismiss Allen's complaint of $10,000 to $20,000 incomes for amateur athletes as "so much intercollegiate bickering." He noted that Allen and the National Collegiate Athletic association have long been at odds.
Washington, Nov. 16—(U.P.) The internal revenue bureau would like to hear from Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen if the University of Kansas basketball coach knows of any amateur athletes who have failed to pay their income taxes.
When the United Press dispatch was read to Dr. Allen, he said that there was no intention on his part to "tell the federal bureau of Internal revenue how to run their business.
"I have no information on any athletes who have received $10,000 to $20,000 because of their athletic
A bureau spokesman said that "we won't wait three years if Dr. Allen has any information he thinks we ought to have."
Dr. Allen said that he had received confidential information from an income tax man that the government was going to look into athletic scholarships. "My primal purpose in making the statement was that many young athletes had never paid an income tax and considered a scholarship," he explained. The scholarship, however, will be turned on the tax report. In the eyes of the public, that makes him a professional.
skill. In fact, I never made the statement that I knew of athletes who had received that much. I only said, in a speech to the local Kiwani club, that no student needs $10,000 to go to school."
"I made the speech to a local club with no intention of making a headline speech."
He said that the bureau would not "wait three years," but was going to check into the matter.

The A.S.C. had down a previous request by the I.S.A. for $600, but that the organization was partially political.

Paddock's motion to suspend was amended by Robert Bennett, chairman of the committee on committees. Bennett moved that the magazine be suspended only until it complied with the following restrictions, and the amended motion was passed:
1. There must be no more liquor
   advertisements, but even beer
   advertisements will be.
2. A third faculty advisor must be appointed, and another chosen to fill the place of one who has resigned.
An appropriation of $120 was allowed the Forensic league by an 8 to vote with Ernest Friesen, A.S.C. president, casting a ballot to break a tie.
