JUDGE QUASHES
UNION SUIT

A union suit was thrown out Of
District Supreme Court today by
Justice Joseph w. Cox.
James Price, elevator construc-
ton worker, 1900 block Benning
Rd. N. E., sought to restrain Off
cials of the local International
Union of Elevators Constructors,
Operators and Starters, from in
terferring with him in obtaining
employment.
He claimed to be a member Of
the International Union for the
last Is years and said upon COM
ing to Washington he obtained
several jobs but each time his
employers were informed by local
officials strike would be called
unless he was discharged.
The only reason ascribed by
Price for such action was that
some members of the local
union were unemployed. Justice
Cox held that Price failed to
show he had exhausted all reme-
dies within the union itself and
threw the suit out of court. He
gave Price 10 days to file an
amended suit.

Washington and other Eastern
cities are facing shortage in tur-
keys for the Thanksgiving table, it
was indicated today following re.
ports from Western markets that
there is a shortage in the supply
in that part of the country.
The problem is causing no end
of worry to local poultry dealers,
it is reported, despite the fact an
unusually large crop" of birds is
ready for shipment from Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia,
Thousands of turkeys and other
fowl are shipped to the Eastern
cities every year, but with higher
prices that will prevail in the
West, due to the shortage, dealers
have expressed a fear that the
Western market will not be willing
to compete with the low price
level that is expected to be effect
i've here.
A survey made recently by the
Department of Agriculture, indi-
Gates there are approximately
100000 fewer turkeys in the
United States for the coming hol-
idays than in 1882.

The association secured an ad-
dition to the Fairgrounds, and is
now cooperating with the national
committee on housing, to have
alley property in the rear of the
school building condemned, and
buildings removed, in order to
provide additional recreation space
for school children. Funds for the
improvements are being sought
from the public administration.
Restricting Protested
Members of the organiZa ton,
and others owning property on
North Capitol Street, from New

ceived from the District Commits
sioners for resurfacing the street
between those points.
They claim they were not con-
suited regarding the work, and
say minor repairs would have
placed the street in good condl-
ton. No extra service was per-
formed, such as street widening,
or resetting of curbing.
It is further claimed that the
bills rendered for the work are
not uniform in calcul a t j o n,

MESSAGE ASKS
STATE To FIX
S1.1O TAX
Sale of Whisky in Clubs,
Hotels, Cafes and Taverns
Is Recommended

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 90
Insisting that the problem of
liquor control in Maryland would
best be handled through the va
rious counties themselves, Gov.
Albert G. Richie, in his message
to the special session of the legis-
lature, today gave his plans for
State control of rum.
The governor advocated two
licenses on alcoholic drinks, one
low single tax on beer and light
wines and higher tax on hard
liquor and fortified wines.
S1.1O Tax Proposed
The governor favors an excise
tax of $l.10 a gallon on hard
whisky and sparkling wines. the
money to go into the State Treas.
ury. This tax would be Statewide
and would not be affected by local
option.
The governor recommended the
following taxes for various sellers
of drinks.
Beer. off and on sale licenses.
$25 to $50.
Beer and wines, $35 to $50.
All liquors for use off the prem
ises, $3.50: for use on the premises,
$3.50; for clubs $500; for taverns
or saloons, $1,000.
All liquors sold in sealed pack
ages. $3.50; hotels and restaurants,
$1,000.
Urges Speedier Trials
The governor did not recon-
mend any particular anti-lynching
laws but asked the legislature to
study the report on speeding up
trials recently made by a commits
sion he appointed.
CaucuSing last night, the Repub-
hcan minority was urged to scruti-
1lize the personnel and accounts of
the State Roads Commission.
This was the advice of Galen
L. TAFT, State party chairman,
who intimated that the Demo
cratic-controlled commission is
saving up its funds for expendi-
ture next year-an election year.
Metzerott Keeps Post
At the same time an unsuccess-
full attempt was made by forces
identified with the Weller faction
of the Republican party to re-
place Delegate Oliver P. Meter
oft, of Prince Georges county as
Republican floor leader in the
house. The movement failed by
q IL to vote.

BURGLAR
Waterman Severely Beaten in
Struggle With Pair in Man.
haitian Laundry

Surprising two colored burglars
in the office of the Manhattan
Laundry, Fourteenth Street and
Florida Avenue N. w., early to-
day, John Wynkoop, SIS, watch
man, engaged in a fierce hand
to-hand battle with them and
shot one of them to death.
Wynkoop was severely beaten
and now is in a serious condition
at Emergency Hospital. Twenty
five stitches we're required to
close wounds in his heads, which,
police said, were inflicted by a
blackjack.
When the Waterman suddenly
faced the pair the one he later
shot pulled Wynkoop's hat down
over his eyes and struck him
with the blackjack.
After the shooting the other
burglar fled. He was about Is
years old and of medium build,
Wynkoop told police. He was
wearing dark clothes and a cap.
The body of the dead man lay
unidentified for hours while po-
lice checked fingerprints. They
later said the man was Albert
Johnson, who, in 1928, was ar
rested on a grand larceny charge.
He was then 20 years old and lived
in the 400 block o st. N. w.
Police ordered a watch kept at
physicians offices and at all hos
pitfalls believing the man who es-
capped had been injured, Shortly
after the shooting a colored man
applied at the Casualty Hospital
for treatment of decorations of
the head. Police will question
him.

Washington for traffic entering
the city from the north.

AUCTION FACES
MAYFLOWER
HOTEL
Justice Adkins Refuses to De-
fer Foreclosure Further, See
ina No Benefits in Plea

Expressing the view that a
delay in the foreclosure on the
Mayflower Hotel under a $780,
900 first trust will be of no
practical value in the next three
years to holders of the $2,400,000
second trust bonds, District Su-
preme Court Justice Jesse c..
Adkins today handed down a
memorandum opinion o thte
effect that he will not halt the
foreclosure.
At the same time Justice Ad-
kins directed counsel to submit
the plan of first mortgage bond
holders protective committee for
a reorganization of the hotel and
state whether the final decree
should provide a minimum price
for the auction sale of the hotel.
The preset suit is that of the
Manufacturers Trust Company,
successors to the Chatham and
Phoenix National Bank and James
F. Mcnamara, trustees under the
first trust, in which they claimed
defaults under the trust.
The court had extended the
old receivership to cover the first
trust. In the present opinion,
Adkins held that he has no right
to halt the foreclosure, since the
hotel, even under the better
business of 1888, still will show
a deficit on interest payments
without regard to depreciation
and receivers costs.

Yesterday he sat in conference

Following that conference, Mrs.
Norton outlined a plan which she
said had been suggested to her.
It contained provisions for the
licensing of various classes Of
manufacturers, wholesalers, re-
tailers and solicitors, but was not
definite concerning the license
fees to be charged, except that
she emphasized that the fees
should not be high, and should
approximate the fees charged be-
fore prohibition.
Mrs. Norton's suggested plan
would permit the purchase of
drink without the purchase of
food, but prohibits drinks from
being served at an establishment
which does not have food for
sale.
