Post Placards With
Hour, Wage Provisions

Every factory, shop and store
throughout Minnesota will soon have
posted in a conspicuous place large
placard which bears the labor provi-
sions of the MIRA code under which
the industry is operating. There, on
the wall of his shop, every workman
may read exactly what he is entitled
to receive from his employer.
AS fast as the government print
ing office can prepare them and the
code authorities can distribute them,
the labor provision posters are find
ing their way to every industrial and
trade unit in the country. So far,
139 industries have been covered and
posters for 60 additional industries
per week are in the course of prepar-
alton.
Under orders from President
Roosevelt and General Johnson, every
proprietor was required to send his
application for these posters to his
local Or state code authority by May
Is. Adequate time was given employ
ers to become fully acquainted with
the need for this action. In the case
of an industry whose code has not
yet been approved, the employer is
granted As days after such approval
before making his application.

REDWOOD MAYDROP
OUT OF STRAIGHT 8
Company L Players Still Sta
toned at Minneapolis;
Will Forfeit

Redwood Falls probably will with
draw from the Straight Eight league
for the remainder Of this season if
Company L players are not back
from the strike in time for the game
Sunday, officers of the team said this
week.
Redwood has missed three games
already because of shortage OF
players and one more would make so
many postponements that the league
season would be extended unreason-
ably, they said. By withdrawing they
would forfeit to Evan, Clements,
Echo and Seaforth. The latter was to
be the opponent for August S, as well
as Delhi, the opponent for August IL.
Company L members spent two
weeks at Camp Ripley and are now
at Minneapolis where they may be
stationed several weeks more.
Other games scheduled for this
week send Belview to Lucan, Evan to
Clements and Delhi to Echo. Next
week will wind up the loop season.

P[ASTERER STRIKE
FOR HOUR CUT AND
HIGHER PAY LOOMS
REIMBURSEMENT Is Asked to
Spread Existing Jobs
Among All Workers.
CARPENTERS WALK0UT
SETTLEMENT LACKING
Craft and Contractors Remain
Far Apart in Negotiations.
Probe Action Near.

Threat of a strike Friday by union
plasterers to enforce demands for a
shorter work week and higher pay
per hour doomed today, as negotiations
over the carpenters strike apparently
marked time.
The plasterers are asking for six
hour day in place of their present
eight-hour day. so as to spread what
employment there is among the craft
here to idle men. Only about $50
plasterers are working now in Wash
ington, their representatives say. out
of a total of about 900 plasterers in
the city.
Sl.75 an Hour Asked.
They also are asking that their
hourly wage be restored from the
present $3.50 an hour to Sl.75 an
hour, where it formerly stood. If this
were accepted by the contractors, 1t
would reduce the hours of work from
40 to 80 hours a week. and cut
the pay of union plasterers from $l2
a day to Sl0.50 day.
Indications from contracting circles,
however, were to the effect that al
present there is no likelihood that
the contractors would accede to de-
manos Of the plasterers.
A six months agreement to work at
$3.50 an hour expired April /, but the
plasterers had continued at this wage
scale pending negotiations for new
one. Last Thursday night, 1t has just
been learned, the plasterers voted to
give the contractors one week to &C
cept their new demands of six-hour
day and increase of IS cents an hour.
Unless an agreement is reached, the
plasterers will strike Friday morning.
This would affect directly at least four
big public buildings and some smaller
ones, including the Interstate Com
merce Commission and Department of
Labor structure, Supreme Court OF the
United States. Department of Justice
and city post office addition.
Positions Still Far Apart.
The carpenters continued on strike
today, with little prospect of settle
ment, as the craft and the contractors
still were far apart in their positions.
The carpenters are asking an increase
from 81 to $137la per hour and a
reduction in hours from 8 to 6 per day.
The contractors have countered with
$l10 per hour for an eight-hour day.
Negotiations to date have failed to
produce an agreement.
Chairman Byrnes of the Senate
Committee on Audit and Control said
today he expects to call his commit
tee together soon to take action on
the Walsh-Davis resolution authoriz-
ing a sweeping probe into the con-
tractual relationships between crafts
of the building trades and contractors.

the Nation. The resolution carries an
appropriation of s25, 200 for expenses
of the Senate Committee on Education
and Labor. headed by Chairman
Walsh, which is planning to make the

mittee would take action within a
few days, probably Wednesday.

CSTREETP PARKING
BAN IS SOUGHT
Post Office and Fire Depart
ment Hit 100 Block
Conditions.

With the Post Office Department
fretting because the maneuvers of its
trucks are handicapped. and with the
Fire Department, worrying over what
might happen if blaze would break
out in one of the scores of automo-
biles. the first precinct today launched
campaign to find out what 1t can
do about the jam of parked automo-
biles in the HOO block of c street
between the Post ONCE Department
and the Internal Revenue Building.
Meanwhile motorists are enjoying a
free parking lot"
The present emergency was created
last week when contractors began
razing the old President Theater
building. The block of Eleventh street
between Pennsylvania avenue and c
street to the south was formally
closed to permit the contractors to
operate. Likewise, the demolishing
operations forced the closing of C
street from Tenth street west to
Eleventh street. sThis left the block
of C street from Twelfth street east,
between the Post Office Department
and the Internal Revenue Building.
virtually a closed court. This thor
oughfare was needed by the Post
Office Department for operation of
its trucks in regular course of bust
ness and. what is probably more i'm
portant, for the moving of equipment
across the street to the new Post
Office Department Building.
One-hour parking always has been
permitted on C street and on Eleventh
street. When the contractors opera
lions in the President Theater block
closed two blocks of the surrounding
streets. however. motorists immedi-
ately took advantage of the blind
alley" condition in c street and
parked not only doubly. but in solid
mass in the HOO block of c street.
Policeman j. E. F. Yost, of the
first precinct, today was sent to
the District Building to find out
whether C street itself is not formally
closed all the way from Tenth street
to Twelfth street. He was advised
by the surveyors Office that the street
still was open so far as the District
is concerned and that if the Federal
Government agencies wanted it closed
it would be closed Immediately upon
request of letter from the Secretary
of the Treasury. Yost. however. rec
commended to his precinct captain
that complete ban on parking be
effected so that the post Office could
retain use of the street. Such ban,
Jost pointed out, would eliminate the
extreme fire hazard against which
the Fire Department has complained.

By JACK ALLEN,

ROCKVILLE. Md, May l4.-Pre-
liminary estimates for the l933-34
Montgomery County budget call for
full restoration of the 10 per cent re-
duction made last July in the salaries
of county employees, including mem
bers of the police force. school teach
ers and other employees OF the Board
of Education, it was said here today
by Charles Y. Latimer, clerk to the
Board of County Commissioners.
Members of the board have been
comforting for some time upon the
budget that will be adopted for the
new fiscal year beginning July /, and
have made provisions in their esti-
mates for sufficient funds to return
all salaries to the scales paid prior to
the slash, Latimer declared.
Major Economy Step.
The salary cut was voted by the
board when it enacted the budget for
the current fiscal year anc was one

It was said by Latimer that the
new budget in its present form calls
for expenditures totaling somewhat
more than the expenditures provided
for in the l933-34 budget, due, OF
course. to the boards pay cut restora-
ton plan.
He said. however. that revenues
from the county's liquor dispensary
system are expected to offset a great
deal of this increase when the budget
is drafted in its final form and may
allow a reduction in the county's pres
ent tax rate of e5 cents on the 500

Restoration Of the reductions made
in the salaries of county school teach
ers and members of the police force
has been strongly advocated for some
time by many civic organizations

to differentiate between the police

employees, and included, therefore, all.

P.W. A. PAY SCALE
HITS ROAD WORK
Few Arlington Unemployed
Accept 80 Cents Offered
on Lee Boulevard.
BY a star Correspondent of The Star.


ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
May l4-The glitter of the Accents
an-hour wage required by the Public
Works Administration has so dazzled
Arlington County's unemployed that
but few will accept the 30-cents-an-
hour scale offered by the Lee Boule-
ward contractors, it was made known
today
H. c. Lane, superintendent for the
engineering company which has been
awarded the contract for surfacing
Lee Boulevard and constructing the
Glen Carlyn overpass, announced to-
day ne needs about 40 men in order
to complete the work under terms of
the contract. but so far has been
unable to obtain more than II men
at one time.
As Cents Demand Seen.
The labor situation. he believes, is
due to the fact that Arlington County
will be required by the Public Works
Administration to pay As cents an
hour when workers are recruited for
installation of the countrywide sewer
age system. despite the fact that 80
cents an hour has been determined
as the prevailing wage scale for this
section.
Lane said he has called upon the
Federal Employment Office in Airing
ton County for men and that out of
IS who were notified to report only
IS showed up. and most of these re-
fused to accept the 30-cent wage,
pointing to the more favorable wage
scale that will be available when the
sewerage work is finally undertaken.
Five Months Steady Work.
Five months of steady work is
promised by the road engineering
firm, since the bridge will be 343 feet
long and 40 feet high, while the Lee
Boulevard pavement is to be 40 feet
wide.
AS the County Board convened to
day for its regular session. announce
ment was made that the contract for
the engineering work and the super
vision Of the installation of the sewer
age system has been signed by County
Chairman Lyman M. Kelley, and all
that now stands in the way of actu-
ally beginning work is the time re-
quired by the j. N. Chester Engineers
for the completion of their study of
the engineering work already done
and preparation of recommendations
as to the course to be pursued in
the future.

Cobra at Zoo, Blind
In His Right Eye
4 Years, Sees Again
I5-FoOt Reptile Finally
Sheds Skin Which Oh.
scured Sight.

The huge, 15-foot king of the Rep
tile House at the Zoo, perhaps the
largest cobra In captivity, has just
after four years OF almost total blind
ness.
This recovery was hailed with en-
thusiasm today by DR.. William M.
Mann, director of the Zoo, who has en-
tertained grave fears for the king cobra
since the snake failed to shed the
skin about its deep-set eyes.
Zoo attendants made the discovery
this morning. The big snake appeared
to have taken on a new lease OF life
and was gliding about his natural
habitat cage with unwonted animation.
Sheds Every Three Weeks.
This type of cobra, one of the most
ferocious of the 10 species of deadly
cobras. is accustomed to shed its skin
about every three weeks after fun
meal.
The cobra here, like others in ZOOS
throughout the country, failed to
shed the skin about its eyes. prob
ably due to the fact that captive cobras
have no chance to brush the scales
from their eyes while beating through
jungle foliage.
Numerous operations have been per-
formed on the blinded captives. most
of which we're temporarily successful.
DR.. Mann, however, did not wish TO
take chances on such valuable specl-
men. hoping the condition would cor
rect itself naturally.
The cobra's vertebrae appears to
be very delicately strung together"
DR.. Mann said. There's always a
chance that it might be damaged in
the struggle which precedes an oper-
alton. Many biologists have asked
me why didn't operate. and now I'm
delighted that did not. Perhaps
he will shed the scales from the other
eye next time"
Grows Over Half Foot.
The big cobra was l4l2 feet long
when the Zoo acquired him years
ago. In the meantime, he has grown
more than inches. and DR.. Mann
hopes he may yet grow several feet
longer. now that his eyesight has been
restored
The big snake was the star of the
formal opening of the Zoos new Rep
tile House years ago.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The mystery of the strange 1o-year
cycle of forest life is approaching a
solution at the hands of biological sur
vey specialists.
They have accumulated data which
indicates that it is basically due to the
disease known as tularemia. which
in the past few years has come into
prominence as a menace to human
life. In the past all sorts Of explana-
tions have been offered. Some even
have associated it with the we'll known
11-yeas sunspot cycle which seems
to have an effect on so many terreS-
tial phenomena.
Surveys are showing, however, that
tuIaremia is much more prevalent
than was expected, that many animals
besides the grouse and the rabbit are
susceptible to it, and that there is
a progressive increase of infestation
with the ticks responsible for it which
seems roughly to be related to the
density of population.
Once each 10 years. the records
show, there is great abundance and
a great scarcity of game and fur
bearing animals. This is abvious in
the records of the Hudson Bay Co.,
which have been studied by biologists
here. Some years the furs brought
in by the Indians would be greatly IN
excess of those brought in at other
times. The number of animals killed
by the hunters is believed to have
definite relationship to the number
available These records 60 back for
about 200 years and can be plotted
on a curve which shows the regular
recurrence of the seasons of plenty
and scarcity.
The curve shows curious time re-
lationship. Starting with a year Of
extreme scarcity, it will rsie very
slowly for two or three years, and
then go up more sharply until it
reaches peak in seven or eight years.
Then it will fall again very abruptly
to a minimum of scarcity. This, 1t Is
pointed out by Dr. j. E. Schillinger,
head OF the division of disease inves-
legations of the Biological Survey. Is
just what would be expected If the
declines were due to an epidemic,
such as tularemia.
With the animal population Of an
area very scanty, the chances would
be slim for passing the disease from
one to another As the population IN
creases the opportunities for the close
contact necessary for an epidemic
become greater. Finally there are so
many animals that the death dealing
ultra virus has q chance to work. as
do the great influenza epidemics in
a human population. There may be
other factors, but DR.. Schillinger Is
almost convinced that tlllaremia Is
one of them.
Amendment in Game
Laws Is Objective.
The cycles are being studied partly
with the object of ending game laws
in accordance with them.
The protection given any animal
usually is based upon the relative
abundance of the species. So limit
set as the result Of q rough census
