San Francisco Publications
Stand Pat on 1938
Contract Position.
»T the Associated Press. v
SAN FRANCISCO, April 14 — Pub
- Ushers of five newspapers last night
abruptly ended negotiations proper
with the North California Newspaper
Guild for a 1938 contract.
Negotiators had discussed points
(still at issue for several hours when
the publishers asked for a caucus.
When the guild negotiators filed
back into the room, E. F. Bitler, man
ager of the San Francisco-Oakland
Newspaper Publishers Association,
•tid tersely:
“You have our final stand on the
questions of the ’guild shop,’ preferen
tial hiring and wages for the after
noon editorial department.”
Answers Guild Adviser.
After several moments of silence,
Sam Kagel, adviser to the guild, in
quired whether the publishers w ished
the meeting to be the final one.
“We feel that no further results
would come from another meeting,”
*r. Bitler responded.
A recent membership meeting, with
only members of the five papers in
volved balloting, voted 247 to 16 to
empower the negotiating committee
“to call a strike if further negotia
tions prove futile.”
However, Don Wiley, guild president,
told the publishers the committee did
not intend to call a strike on its own
Initiative but would submit the entire
negotiations to another meeting of the
entire membership for final decision.
Negotiations began last December,
the papers involved being the Hearst
publications, the San Francisco Exam
iner, Call-Bulletin and the Oakland
Post-Enquirer, the Scripps-Howard
Daily News and the independently
owned San Francisco Chronicle.
40 Sections in First Draft.
Some 40 sections were included in
the first draft of the proposed contract
to replace bulletin board agreements
In effect last year.
Points in dispute gradually narrowed
down to the guild shop, where all em
ployes would be required to join the
guild within 30 days, preferential hir
ing for guild members, and the same,
scale of $57.69 weekly for morning
paper editorial department employes
to apply to afternoon publications.
Several proposed wage differences
v*re settled tentatively at the session
before its abrupt termination.
TRADE BOOST GOAL

U. S. Ambassador Hugh Wilson
Tells Germany America
Also Seeks Peace.
By tb* Associated Press.
BERLIN. April 14— United States
Ambassador Hugh Wilson's intimation
of expanded trade relations among 1
nations found many receptive ears
among German circles today.
The Ambassador, in a speech to
-German and American business men
last night, set forth as American goals
peace—although he said there was no
way of being certain the United States
would remain aloof from any major
conflict—and a flourishing exchange
of goods with all nations.
The speech generally was regarded
tn foreign office circles as a “well and
(sound introduction.” It was Mr. Wil
son's first public appearance since his i
•ppnintment to Berlin.
He designated America's policy as
being the essence of enlightened na
tionalism—a constructive and prac
tical middle course between the ex- 1
Jremes of sentimental international
ism and narrow Isolation.”
As foreign policy, however, is ex
clusively in the hands of Fuehrer
Hitler, no one was willing to be quoted
on Mr. Wilson’s observations concern
ing peace and war.

Cyclops Sinking
Still a Mystery
After 20 Years
By the Associated Press.
Twenty years ago today the world
learned that the naval collier Cyclops,
with 309 persons aboard, had disap
peared without a trace while en route
from the Caribbean Sea to Baltimore.
The mystery is as deep row as it
was April 14, 1918, when Secretary
of the Navy Josephus Daniels an
nounced nothing had been heard from
the 19,360-ton vessel for six weeks.
The theories of the disappearance
that have stood the most searching
examination, officials said. *are that
the Cyclops either suddenly capsized
or was destroyed by an explosion.
The Navy Department said post-war
inquiries established definitely that
neither German U-boats nor German
mines were involved.
FRONT OF AMERICAS
URGED BY U.S. ENVOY
Ambassador Steinhardt. in Peru,
Calls for Union Against
‘Predatory Forces.’
By the Associated Press.
LIMA, Peru, April 14. — United
States Ambassador Laurence A. Stein
hardt last night urgpd that American
nations present a united front against
Old World "predatory forces" seeking
"new or lost fields to conquer.”
In a broadcast to Latin American
nations on the occasion of Pan
American Day he asked that public
opinion of the Western Hemisphere
be marshaled against "those who be
lieve the law of the jungle is man's
destiny.”
He warned that propaganda for
forms of government "all akin in de
stroying liberty and freedom of
thought” might pave the wav to
"ultimate subjection” and declared
American rations would not submit
to the prospect of conquest and the
lass of human liberties.
Propaganda by Germany and Italy
in South America has caused concern
in Washington, where officials have
watched it closely. German. Italian
and Japanese immigration and com- ;
mercial interests in South America
also have been under scrutiny. 1
U. S. NAVY HUNTS
MYSTERY FLEET
Two Philippine Airplanes
Assist Destroyers in
Scouting Waters.
By tt"e Associated Press.
MANILA, April 14.—Two American
destroyers, aided by two Philippine
fighting planes, were said yesterday to
have started hunting for a mysterious
squadron of warships reported seen
irt Insular waters.
Reliable sources reported unoffi
cially the destroyers were diverted
from a routine cruise to French Indo
China, and that the military, planes
had been dispatched from here to
Investigate.
Bombers on Routine Flight.
United States Army officials, deny
ing earlier reports, said two United
States bombing planes flying to the
Southern Philippines were on a reg
ular routine flight not connected with
investigation of the reported fleet.
The mysterious fleet, which one
observer said was made up 22 de
stroyers and a tender, was reported
sighted Sunday and Monday in the
Gulf of Davao, 600 miles south of
here.
Davao is the center of a rich agri
cultural area dominated by Japanese
settlers and their offspring.
Lacks Confirmation.
Army and Navy authorities re
mained silent. American High Com
missioner Paul V. McNutt said he
preferred not to comment because he
lacked ‘‘complete confirmation of the
identity” of the reported presence of
the strange ships.
