In a mass meeting 1,000 mari time workers in Honolulu agreed early today to return seven strike bound ships to the Pacific coast from Hawaii if union longshoremen were used exclusively and if Ha waiian waterfront workers are in cluded in future negotiations. Out Of Question Agents for the Matson Line, which owns five of the ships, im mediately replied: “That is out of the question. “A majority of the dock workers here are not union men and don’t want to join. This is an attempt to force unionism down their throats.” Hawaiian ports of Honolulu and Hilo have been the only major Pa cific non union longshore ports since the coastwide 1934 strike.

Further uncertainty was added to the situation by court actions in three continental ports. Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed ward F. McGrady, said he hopes to bring employers and union leaders together for settlement negotiations by tonight “at the latest.’’ NEGRO CONFESSES TO BREAKING IN HOME PITTSBORO, Nov. 10.—(/P)—Al phonso Latta, a negro, was held to day on a charge of breaking into a bedroom of three white girls at a rural home near here Sunday night.

Joker Ho. 1 was that It won't save the residents of Shelby a penny in tax. Joker No. 3 is that it will save the average taxpayer in the county exactly 83 cents per year, perhaps. The final Joker is that the ex emption of $1,330,000 from the 28 million dollar taxation list in the county will cause the average tax rate of about 80 cents to Jump to about 85 cents on all other prop erty, in order for the county to get the additional $10,640 required.

According to Mr. McKinney and city officials, there Is no exemption on taxes levied for debt service. The amendment itself makes the provi sion.
