said the same thing and that there Is
a trick In It. Her position lim always

her quota basis and at tho sane time

Thire will be no need for quotas
when her currency la adjuited, but
there will be a need for tariffs and
she will revise her rates promptly Jn

be Just about the same In the end, as

There will be one marked differ

threatened tteup of coast shipping

representing 37,000 workers waa an
nounced as averted early today
through union acceptance of a 16-day

Under the truce aa outlined by As
sistant Labor Secretary Edward ' F.
McOrady, commerce will continue un

strings" attached to the arrangement.
During that period, he said, the
unions will appoint committees to
decide whether disputed Issues shall
be submitted to arbitration In nego
tiations the employers propose to ex
tend for an additional 43 days.
Against Arbitration
The question of arbitrating these
disputes has been a principal cause
of deadlocking negotiations, the un
ions declaring they could not arbi
trate such fundamental questions as
recognition and the right to collective
bargaining.
Employers In turn said they had
granted full union recognition and
were in accord with the workers'
rights to bargain collectively.
Announcement of the truce came
nearly half an hour after the time
set for expiration of the old agree
ments, under which the maritime
workers generally were granted higher
