H.. E. RECELE. STARTS SURVEY
 OF DECEPT TON
Each Device Potentially Producing Interference
 to Be Charted

Havng already assumed his du- ties as City Radio Interference Lo- cator, H. E. Regele has been busy yesterday and today in making large scale tracings of city maps to be used in plotting work.
 Blue prints will be made of the tracings, and on them will be marked every power pole, trans former, telephone pole, oil-burner electric motor and other device which might tend to distort re- ception. One print will be kept intact and another will be cut ur into small pieces to be more con veniently handled in going about the town.
 Data from the small sheets will be transferred to the larger as soon as it is collected.
 MT. Regele anticipates that il will require the greater part of the summer to perform this preli- minary survey alone.
 Later on, as actual interference is reported, it will be marked dowr on the chart, along with the steps taken to eradicate the condition.

 With no market for their wares the fishermen have tied up al Sitka to await restoration of ship ping which is the only source of relief, MT. Haley said. A fine run of king salmon is reported in the district, but that isn't helping the fishermen who can't take them unless they can find a market.
 The seal hunting at Sitka this year was not as good as normally is experienced. One boat, operated by Charley Dick, took II seals The feed upon which the herds live enroute to their summer breed ing grounds on the Pribilof Islands was well offshore this spring ano but few seals came to the inshore hunting grounds. Poor market conditions also discouraged hunt ing.
 The usual market activities ir this district were halted while the Teal came to port with scow tc load 4,300 feet of lumber, shingle! and other materials for the con. struction of weir and watchman'. cabin at Little Port Walter. Thii shipment was discharged here last night by the steamer North Winc and will be loaded at once anc lowed to the site of the weir.

Samuel Orner, reported,
pointing out that the pro-
posed code was drawn up by
the feet owners and the Adj
ministration The code further low
ers the deplorable living standards
and working conditions of the taxi
drivers. The Deputy Administrator,
Mr.. Brown, who had q hand in the
drawing up of the code, is a for
mer official of General Motors.
The Taxi Drivers Union of
Greater New York was the only or
ganization representing the workers
which presented an alternative
code, calling for minimum wage
of s15 a week for day men and $18
a week for night men, a 45-hour
week and 5-day week. In spite of
the discrimination against Negro
drivers and the Jim-C Grow practices
of the fleet operators, the proposed
code completely ignores the prob
lens and conditions of these Negro
workers.
The Taxi Drivers Union proposed
that there be no discrimination or
segregation Of Negro drivers and
that they have a right to work in
any garage and receive the same
pay for the same work as the white
workers.
Sam Orner and Bill Gandall
stressed that the code proposed by
the Taxi Drivers Union become the
rallying point for struggle Of the
taxi drivers for improved conditions
in the garages.

Mayors Committees report on
taxi-cab survey, indicating that his
report is another attack of the La
Guardia administration upon the
taxi drivers in the city of New York.
The proposal for limiting taxi-cabs
in the city of New York is giving
q monopoly to the General Motors
limitation of 10000 hackmen and
and will force 5000 independent
owners out of the industry. The
the Boston Card System, most
comprehensive blacklist, are direct
attacks on the taxi drivers.
Gilbert pointed out that the re-
port will be used as basis by the
LaGuardia administration for city
legislation to strengthen the au-
thority of the Hack Bureau in the
enforcement of these proposals. He
stressed the importance for the
taxi drivers today to strengthen the
union and prepare to fight these
proposals to the bitter end. He
also stressed that organized hack
men can also become a powerful
political weapon to defeat these
proposals by defeating those re-
sponsible for them.
The packed hall roared a ire
mendous approval of the reports of
Orner and Gilbert and a unanimous
vote of confidence was placed in the
Taxi Drivers Union of Greater New
York and its leadership.

Grows in White-COllar
Publishing Industry
Cultural Tradition of Book Industry Breaks
Down Pay Checks DwindIe and
Job Security Lessons

The publishing business has suffered
an enormous decline, more in pro-
portion, perhaps, than the average
industry in America. A number of
old established publishing compa-
MES have gone out of business.
Others have merged, with a result
ing reduction in staff. Others have
amalgamated certain of their de-
partments to produce economies.
Drastic wage cuts and lay-offs have
occurred.
And the very process by which
the bosses seek to save themselves
acts further to destroy them. For.
once books become no different in
their nature from the cheap maya
zines, there will be no reason for
their existence. And the Difference
to Hollywood and the declining
tastes Of the lending library will
produce 8 situation where the
reader will find himself led by the
publisher TO the magazine stand
rather than to the book shelf.

A|RMA|L ACTION q
IS TO Be ARGUED
Government Asks Dismissal
of Suit to Prevent Cancel
ing of Contracts.

The suit by four air transport
lines to prevent Postmaster General
Farley from canceling their airmail
contracts will be argued tomorrow in
District Supreme Court.
The plaintiffs are Boeing Air
Transport, Inc, National Air Trans
port. Inc. Pacific Air Transport and
Varney Air Lines.
Their contracts were Cancelled by
Farley on February 9 under a law
prohibiting the award of Govern
ment contracts to any combination
preventing free bidding and the
general authority" of the Post
master General.
The Governments motion to dis
miss the suit alleges it is against the
Government of the United States.
that the plaintiffs have an adequate
remedy in the Court of Claims for
breach Of contract and that dis
cretionary action of a Government
officer cannot be enjoined.
The suit names Farley as an indi-
vidual and purports to be against
him in his private capacity. The
plaintiffs contend that even if they
can sue for damages they are pro-
hibited by the order from bidding on
any contract for five years and that
there is no relief available on this
point in the Court of Claims.
William j. Donovan will represent
the plaintiffs The Governments
case will be presented by Assistant
United States Attorneys David A.

JUDGES AND STAFFS'
PAY CHECKS ARE CUT
Deficiency Bill, However, Is Ex-
pected to Provide Res.
toration.

A SO per cent cut in the salaries
of the justices of the District Su-
preme Court, the members of their
staffs and the employees of the assign
ment commissioner office was made
effective in their pay checks for the
last half of May.
1t is expected, however, that the
deficiency bill now pending in the
House will provide reimbursement fol-
the deductions and restore the full
amount of their pay.
The budget covering the salary OF
the court officials was cut following
an attempt to reduce the salaries OF
the justices by 10 per cent. The
United States Supreme Court ruled
however. that they are "constitu-
tional judges" and that their salaries
cannot be reduced during their life
time. This compelled the restora-
tion of full pay but no funds have
been provided for to meet the in
crease.
