ESQ Radio Workers
Walk Out End Time

NEW YORK-Over ESQ young
workers of the Cornell Dubilier Con-
denser Corp. came out on strike FRI
day, in protest against low wages,
bad conditions and discrimination.
A short time previous they struck,
demanding an increase in pay from
20 to 20 cents an hour. However, the
A. F. of T.. leadership of that strike
and the MA. succeeded in getting
the men back to work at a conpro-
mise rate of 80 cents.
The A. F. Of L. officials thereupon
showed themselves up for the racke-
teers they are by running off with
the union funds. The workers broke
away and organized the present
union, the Radio Factory Workers
Union, under the leadership of the
Socialists, Reedie and Most, and have
applied for an A. F. Of l.. charter.
The strike demands now include
minimum OF SO cents an hour, no
lsy-offs, division of work and rec
ignition of their union.
the Radio Section of the Metal
Workers Industrial Union, in leaf
let distributed to-day, crested the
Dubilier strikers and pledged it's supp
port. At the same time, the Indus
trial union pointed out the necessity
of demanding retention OF the old
crew, to prevent discrimination, and
stated that provision should be made
for unemployment relief to all laid-
off workers.

an ordinary stretch of tundra.

MERCHANTS STUDY
TRAFFIC CHANGES
Survey Is Made of Sentiment
on Making F and G
Streets One Way.

The suggestion Of traffic authorities
that F and G. streets be made one way,
eastbound and uestbound, respectively.
is commanding widespread attention
among hundreds Of merchants in the
downtown area who would be immedi-
ately affected by such a change.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association representing many of the
retailers on these two streets between
Seventh and Fifteenth streets, is now
engaged in making complete survey OF
its membership in anticipation OF some
action on the proposal.
Communicative have been sent out
to merchants along both streets by the
association, Edward D. Shaw, secretary,
said yesterday. They are being asked
for an expression of opinion as to what
effect such a change would make on
vehicular and pedestrian traffic and
business on the two streets, as well as
on Immediately intersecting streets.
The proposition to make Thirteenth
street one way for southbound traffic
in the morning, and one way in the
opposite direction in the evening, is
not considered to be Of much signifl-
canoe in so far as the merchants are
concerned Shaw said.
The other plan in the downtown sec
ton, however. is looked upon as radi-
cal step. and & possibility was seen that
it might meet with opposition. Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer has
asked to be informed of the attitude of
the merchants on the suggestion, which
so far as his office is concerned, is
simply being considered"
It was poitned out yesterday that
the necessity for one-Way streets in the
central business district in the Capital
is not as pronounced as in New York
and Philadelphia. where streets are
narrower Botn F and G streets are
wide thoroughfares. it was pointed out,
and cannot be considered congested
under normal conditions.
The question, MFR. Shaw said affects
not only the stores but also office build
ings. theaters and hotels. The street
car company also is concerned, he said.
The merchants group has been cam
paigning for some time for the widen
ing of F street between Seventh and
Ninth streets to permit two-way traffic
at that point.

To save its program of protective
health service for 1884 from the serious

tuberculosis Association is appealing to

rate, steadily rising for the past four
years. is to be reduced" said Mrs.
Ernest r. Grant, president of the asso-
citation, ''our work of prevention must
be extended. 1t must not be curtailed.
But curtailed it surely will be unless
money shall be provided.
IF only half Of the citizens of WASH
ington who have received c.~ Christmas
seals and our appeal will now respond,
the total funds will be adequate to pro.
vide a more extensive nursing service

sections of the city, a larger health
camp for tuberculosis children and tbe
promotion of legislation for an ADEQUATE

Of any semblance of conflict over his

to insist that Garnett accept the i'm

fight among candidates, or rather
among factions supporting various aspir-
ants had caused CONSERVATION in ad-
miniStration patronage circles, leading
finally to a determination to choose an
attorney who did not want the post and
who had no special backing beyond a
splendid record.
