SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2 lv-
-Government labor conciliators

They made such a report to
Secretary of Labor Perkins while
San Francisco's Mayor Angelo J.

With the tieup in its 34th day
a single meeting took - place -between
shipowners and represen

apparently It made little progress.

Complete Accord .
The conciliators, E. P. Marsh
and E. H. Fitzgerald, who took
ap the government's peacemaking
when Assistant Secretary of La
bor Edward F. McGrady left the
scene at the turn ot the year, said
negotiations were "nearly at aa
end and could net result la com
plete agreements.
"We feel," said the concilia
tors' statement, "that pnbUc In
terest Is paramount and that some
action toward a speedy settlement
of the 'disastrous controversy
must be taken.-

Washington that we feel some

Says Outlook
Decidedly Brighter
Despite the pessimistic picture,
Joseph P. Ryan, president of the
International Longshoremen's as
sociation, said in New York the
prospects were brighter for settle
ment of the costly deadlock.
"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
onions, offered the longshoremen
virtually the same terms as their
old working agreement, with no
appreciable wage increase.
