Settle Strike On Cable Companies Two Unions Accept JlO-Cent Increase New York. July 21.—(UP)—A strike of 2,W0 employes of three cable companies, which had threatened to disrupt one-third of the nation’s overseas communications, was settled early today when the two unions Involved accepted a 10-cent hourly wage increase retroactive to June 1. The strike began at midnight and a settlement was announced two and onehalf hours later. Companies Involved were All America Cables and Radio. Inc.: Commercial Cable Co., and Mackay Radio and Telegraph. The two unions. American Communications Association (CIO) and the Independent All America Cable Employes Association, called their membera back to work Immediately after the settlement. The three companies announced that normal service had been restored In a joint statement, officials of the companies said the settlement was effected through Edgar L. Wares, head of the U. 8. conciliation service in Washington. The unions originally had demanded a 25-cent wage increase but had scaled it down to 15 cents before the strike was called. The company previously had offered an eight-cent increase, arguing that under present circumstances it could not afford to pay more. 0 Newsprint, Paper Prices Hit Peak House Committee Sees Drop Likely Waslilngtou, July 23 — (UP)'— The house newsprint Investigating committee said today that newsprint and paper prices have reached their peak and that any change in the next few months should be a drop. "Manufacturers' earnings are (specially good at the present time, and the committee can see no Justification for any further paper price increase," a committee report said. It said that “if there are any changes in paper prices during the next few months that they should be lower rather than higher." The committee, headed by Rep. Clarence J. Brown. R.. 0.. has been working on a progratrf t-> provide more equitable distribution ami increase! production of newsprint — especially in the United States. It said some suppliers have taken advantage of the current shortage "to charge unconscionable prices for newsprint and other paper." As a result of committee action, it said, ‘various law enforcement agencies of the executive branch of the government are making investigations from which further actions against such concerns may result." The committee said Its efforts to stamp out profiteel ing have been effective although some newsprint and paper still Is being sold at exceedingly high prices. The United States produced 770,890 tons of newsprint during 1946. the report said. This has been expanded by 450,000 tons since the committee was set up, the report said, and there is a strong possibility that same 200.000 tons additional will be provided In the next few months. This extra 200.000 tons will not reach American markets uisl! late 1948 or early 1919. the 'report added. Announcing plans to visit mills and suppliers in Canada and in southern states this fall, the committee said it was particularly Impressed with the possibility of "greatly increasing newsprint production in southern states." Only southern paper producer al the present time is the Southland Paper Mill at Lufkin. Tex., the committee said. But It noted NOTICE My office will be dosed Julv 21 to August 4. DR. RAY STINGELY DR.

that a large new mill is under construction by the Coosa River Newsprint Co.. Childersburg. Ala. and that plans for another at Usesvllle. La., are well advanced. Manufacturers are considering establishing other mills In southern states, the report said. With this prospectus, the committee said it "appears entirely possible" for the south to support a newsprint industry providing 1.500.000 to 2.000.000 tons a year under a proper reforesta tion plan. 0 Knights Os Pythias Will Meet Thursday An important meeting of Kek.ionga lodge 65, Knights of Pythias, will be held Thursday night at 8 o'clock at the lodge home.

turned to fuU UAW utatus without prejudice. "We gave local 248 until Mon-i day to reply to our offer." he said.| •We will hold a mass meeting of the membership and decide what to do. If we don't hear from the CIO. we will carry out our own program." Members of the IWAC participated in a back-to-work movement at the AC plant which finally broke the back of the strike and nearly wrecked the UAW local Local 248 held a membership meeting last night but the Independents' offer was not discussed. Similar demands and offers by the IWAC have been ignored in the past. The United Auto Workers union affiliated with the American Federation of Labor also is waging a membership campaign at the i plant. Votes in last week’s election were split between the three unions with the UAW-CIO missing a majority by 92 votes. A runoff election could settle the issue but the NLRB has set a hearing for Monday on the legality of 247 challenged ballots which might return the bargaining rights to local 248.
