CARPENTER
CALLED OFF
AUS, JOBS
So Daily Wage Slash Results
In Breach; General Strike
Is Threatened

Carpenters were called of
four prominent Governmer
buildings today as a result OF
contractors posting notice OF
a reduction in wages from $11
to So a day. The four build,
ings are Labor, Postoffice, Ar
| chives, and the new Depart
ment of Justice.
In the parlance of union labor
this is a lockout not a strike
While the carpenters are now
simply "locked out" there will
be a general strike if the con
tractors call in nonunion labor
to take the place Of union labor
labor circles limited.
The men refused to go to work
by order Of George Myers. busi
ness agent of Carpenters Union
1872. They are backed in theil
position by H. w. Blumenberg
general representative of the
United Brotherhood Of Carpen
ters and Joiners of America, here
from New York to help straighter
out the tangle.
Breach Widens
The wage battle between con
tractors and carpenters Wideneo
to a more serious turn today also
when the contractors learned
that plasterers working on one
Government building and a pri
vate job were called away from
work because of a wage dispute
These two jobs are the New
Public Health Building, near
Constitution Avenue, and the Sci
ence Recitation Building at
Georgetown University.
Jim Toomey, foreman for the
Charles H. Tompkins Company
general contractors on the George
town University project, said the
plastering job there is being done
by Stanley Palfrey Company, sub
contractors.
Union labor officials today
adopted a watchful waiting policy.
The next move, they claim, is up
to the contractors.
Union To Mark Time
No attempt will be made, at the
present time, to lay the case of
the carpenters before the board
of conciliation of the Labor De
partment, or to enlist the "good
Offices of the Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Ferry K. Heath,
or to bring the supervising archi-
tect's office into the picture.
If the contractors do not weak
en-, labor officials will bring pres
sure on the Government for an

law which governs contracts on

U.N.SO.-The French frontier

bourg as his capital. His post
corresponds to that of governor
in an American State.
He pointed out that the French
program is not flexible, but a
rigid one. The Notifications can
be used to stem an invasion, but
would be useless in assisting any
French advance, he said, explain
ing:
"The forts can't be moved.
They are only of value in
shielding us from an attack by
airplane or to prevent an army
from crossing the Rhine into
AlSace.
"All we ask is to be let alone
in our own garden. What would
you do if you saw your next-dOOr
neighbOr parading back and
forth in front Of your garden
with all sorts of pistols and
daggers in his belt? You would
get a watchdog. Well, that is
all that we are doing along

Prince Georges Relief to Be

Of S1.35 a Person

Identification of destitute per-
sons in Prince Georges county as
contrasted to those merely unem-
ployed will be the first step taken
by Miss Charlotte Wilcox, special
relief administrator, in the coun-
tvs new relief campaign.
Families having no source OF
income whatever will be the first
aided, Miss Wilcox has announced.
Register JObless
The registration of jobless at
the office Of the county board OF
welfare will show who must be
given relief first, the new admin
istrator declared. The welfare
worker then will strike basis on
which to pay those needing aid.
Miss Wilcox pointed out that in
Baltimore needy persons are given
$1.35 each a week. She said that
the amount in Prince Georges
county should be materially lower
because of the natural resources
of the country.
The relief payments will not be
made in the form Of dole, how
ever. A weekly pay roll will be
set up by the welfare office and
the heads of suffering families
put to work on county projects.
Work On Roads
The first of these will he re-
pairing of county roads, it was
pointed out. Miss Wilcox expects
to confer with the Prince Georges
County Commissioners today to
determine just where work of this
type is needed.

work and we wish to aid those
who have families receiving no
income whatever"

relief program to officials of the
