companies yesterday temporarily re-
moved the threat Of strike which
would tie up freight deliveries all
along the Atlantic seaboard.
The longshoremen demanded a
wage increase Of 10 cents an hour for
straight time and Is cents an hour for
overtime. The transatlantic steam
ship conference wage committee offer
ed a counter proposal of an increase
of cents an hour and 10 cents in
crease for overtime.
This proposal was accepted by the
wage scale committee of the union
and will be submitted to various locals
for ratification. The committee has
recommended acceptance of the COM
promise, according to it's chairman,
and the result of the vote by the locals
should be known Monday, he said.
The present agreement, which calls
for a wage scale of 80 cents an hour
and $1.20 for overtime work, expires
September 80. Negotiations looking
toward a new agreement were begun
several days ago. Union leaders esti-
mated that $4,000 longshoremen would
be affected by the change sought;
80, 900, it was said, work in the Metro
politan area, but men in South Allan
tic and Gulf ports, whose agreement
also expires on September 80, prob
ably would be affected by the outcome
Of negotiations here.

"All such furbelOws should be shun-

Why? Because, if dress Is an indica-

Another extreme, to be Stunned

EXPERT ON ZONING
URGED FOR ARLINGTON
County Chamber of Commerce Sec
retary-Manager Sees Need of
Immediate Service.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLARENDON, Va, September Eli
Employment of an expert to assist the
recently appointed coming commission
of Arlington County is urged by Mil
ford Wits, secretary manager of the
Arlington County Chamber Of Com
merce, in statement issued last
night.
"Zoning and city planning Is a SUBJ
ject demanding expert treatment" Mr..
Wits declares. land Arlington County
will never make the proper progress
unless a coming expert is put on the
job at once.
1.-THE coming commission appointed
by the supervisors four months after
the State Legislature gave the county
authority to zone is made up of
worthy people willing to give the
subject the few hours attention that
can be found after business hours. but
people occupied with their own bust.
ness cannot be expected to work out
the multitudinous details which are
necessary for comprehensive plan
nor have they the time to draw maps
and gather other data necessary for
proper coming of a community.
UNLESS the people Of Arlington
County do more than pass resolutions
favoring coming ordinances and other
worthy projects connected with pub
lie improvements, the county will find
itself outstripped by other sections in
the Greater Washington area. Zoning
is the backbone of we'll built commu-
mites, and people willing to come to
Arlington County want to know
whether their homes will be next to
business establishments or whether
they will be in residential district"

With desire of seeming to be, or of being. captious from partisan standpoint nor of twisting political casualties of one party to the political advancement of another, the doughty Colonel's attention might we'll be directed to the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Tea pot Dome lease annulment suit and to the present frial of former Secretary Fall on criminal charges growing out of the oil leases.
