The conciliators, E. P. Marsh

ap the government's peacemaking
when Assistant Secretary of La

scene at the turn ot the year, said
negotiations were "nearly at aa

"We feel," said the concilia

Despite the pessimistic picture,

prospects were brighter for settle

"Now that we have stopped In
dulging In personalities - which
cost us three months ot wasted
effort, we should get somewhere."
Shipowners, In making separate
peace proposals' to all striking

virtually the same terms as their
