Troubles Loom.

By UNITED PRESS The most costly’ shipping strike {n the nation’s history reached final settlement today, only five days before another nationwide - shipping strike was scheduled to begin. Final settlement in the 20-day maritime tieup was reached last night whén the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific, (A. F. of L.), called its seaman back to man struck ships on both coasts. Other major labor developments: ONE: The multi-million dollar motion picture industry faced an almost complete tie-up as the Conference of Studio Unions strung picket lines around seven major Hollywood studios. TWO: Striking A. PF. of L. Culinary workers voted to end their

Settlement Delayed

Settlement of the maritime strike had been delayed pending an agreement between the 8. U. P. and the] Pacific American Shipowners as-| sociation’ on application of the government’s wage formula. The new strike threat was aggravated when the A, F. of L. Masters, Mates and Pilots union and the shipowners turned down an invitation by the labor department to negotiate at Washington. In the motion picture dispute, the Conference of Studio Unions (A. F. of L.), charged producers had created a “lockout” by firing 1500 A. F. of L. carpenters and painters. The employees had ‘refused to work on sets built by the rival International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees (A. F. of L.). The studio unions ordered mass

hotel managements, pointed out that had “no strike” clauses.

IN PSG HEARING

Expected Until After Fall Election.

By RICHARD LEWIS The question of how much Indianapolis citizens should pay to ride streetcars and busses has taken the long road to the U, 8. supreme court regardless of the decision of the Indiana public service commission, which is now hearing the case, This became evident today as the basic issues came into sharper focus. These are conflicting theories on how much the property of Indianapolis Railways, Inc., is worth and what rate would con{stitute a fair return on its value. Meanwhile, parent

it also became apthat the commission will

not be able to reach a decision on | the company’s petition for higher fares ‘before the fall election, on the basis of the projected hearing schedule, Eyed in Other Cities This was a factor of some impor{tance in political circles, although |its connection with the economics {of operating a street car and bus company might appear remote. The political implications of the rate case hark back to decisions made months ago and these have affected its entire direction. The rate case, however, has far more significant economic implica (tions. Harassed by rising costs, |public. transportation systems in {other cities are watching it with | interest. : * Indianapolis is one of the two jcities in the United States which {at the moment is fighting the up- | ward trend in public transportation {fares.

As the company here attempts to {prove that it is worth $14,405,884.28 {in order to get a rate which will |yield a fair return on that value, it |is apparent that arguments for the most part are somewhat academic | for the members of the commission. | The commission has been sitting

ARMY ALTERS PLAN TO FREE OFFICERS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 (U. P). ~The army is giving about 85,000 wartime officers a chance to return to civilian life earlier than they had planned.

The war department said a new program for earlier release of temporary officers has been outlined because of strict budgetary limitations.” In addition,” the army said it wants a completely volunteer officer corps and thus is giving those officers who want to get out a chance to do so. The new separation policy permits most officers who otherwise would be eligible for release by next“June 30 to apply for release immediately. Exceptions are medical officers, scarce specialists, recent graduates of officer candidate schools and officers with dependents overseas or en route overseas. Some groups who apply for immediate separation should be able to complete their service, including terminal leave, by Dec. 31.
