BRIDGE SITE
 DISCUSSED BY C0UNC LINEN
Special Public Meeting to Be Held Next Tuesday
 on Location Question

Following the presentation Of a petition signed by "A citizens pro- testing against the action of the City Council two weeks ago in ap- proving the location of the present bridge at Calhoun Avenue as the site for the proposed new concrete span across Gold Creek, the Coun- cil at it's meeting last night de- cided to hold a special meeting next Tuesday night to ascertain the sentiment of taxpayers on the question.
 Among those who spoke in favor of the alternative route which would call for a bridge about 100 feet downstream from the present bridge, and connecting Calhoun Avenue near Gold Belt Avenue by a graceful curve with 18th Street, were James Larson, Allen Shat tuck, H. G. Nordling and J. P. Dalton. They argued that increased traffic potentialities justify this more costly structure.
 City Engineer M. A. Lagergren and Consulting Engineer O. H. Stratton admitted that the adop- ton of the proposed location as the site for the new crossing would entail an additional expense of approximately $8,000, as compared with the present route, though it would be more direct and take care of the traffic to better advantage. They pointed out, however, that the new bridge as planned will have a 24-foot roadway, twice the width of the present wooden span, and that with the widening and the strengthening of the approaches now contemplated the new route will be vast improvement over the existing situation.
 Engineers Estimates
 The engineers estimates indi- cate that bridge at the present site would cost about $500, at the proposed new location $13,500. Im- provement of the approaches would cost an estimated additional sum of S1 500 in one case and $2,500 in the other, making a total esti- mated difference in cost of 5000, it was stated.
 Mayor I. Goldstein said that all the councilmen and he, citizens in general, believed that unquestion- ably the more costly route was pre- ferable from a traffic standpoint, but that he did. not favor the city going into debt for the additional amount required. He explained the PWA loan and bond issue allowed only $5,000 for the Gold Creek bridge and that no latitude in ex- banding the amount was possible, except through act of Congress and another vote of the people. The money would have to be bor- rowed, and in his opinion the ad- vantages of the costlier bridge were not sufficient to outweigh the ob- jection to increase in the city debt.
 The Councilmen expressed their willingness to hear further from citizens on the matter, and the Mayor announced that he would call special meeting of the Coun- cil for next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., when property owners could be heard on the relative merits of the two locations.

well as the spirit of Section IA Of the
MIRA, even though no code for the
industry has been imposed.
international President Frank B
Powers, Of the CTUNA, said:
''Inasmuch as there appears to
be little Likelihood of communi-
cations code, due to the defiant
and challenging attitude of the
Western Union, the beginning of
collective bargaining between
Postal and it's employees is all the
more significant. One telegraph
company, at least, is willing to
turn it's back on the traditional
anti-union policy of the industry.
''The Western Union, on the con
trary, refuses to recognize that ar

ton given in Section IA. Appar

a code whether the WesternU nion

GIVE LABOR
Voice in All Codes, NRA
Enforcement Official
Urges

New York City (ILNS)-Represen-
tation Of labor in all code authorities
was urged by Nathan Straus, Jr., New
York state director of the National
Emergency Council, before a confer
ence with a group of more than 20
labor executives of the state and city.
The conference was the first Of series
with labor representatives.
Straus, who is chief NRA enforce
ment officer of the state, initiated the
conferences to obtain labor's views on
the operation of the NRA and sugges-
tions for improvements.
At the end of the conference Straus
said that "only the surface has been
scratched in this first session" and
that future conferences would be
held with smaller groups of the labor
leaders, representing various indus
tries. He said he was anxious to find
out just what were the complaints
against codes and the NRA by labor.
"I assume the NRA isn't perfect
there are very few things that are
perfect" Straus said.
John Redmond, vice president of
Typographical Union No. 6, interrupt
ed Straus to say that "labor is in
accord with the NRA and only wants
to make it's administration more ef-
fective.
Other labor leaders present ex-
pressed the same sentiment.
"I believe that if the code author
tiles are to be effective they must
represent not only the interests OF the
employers but the interests of labor
as well, Straus said in opening the
meeting. "The code authorities must
not become merely Instruments for
stabilizing trade practices and for
doing those things which will benefit
chiefly the employer.
"The code authorities must become,
if they are to be effective, in my be-
lief, an instrument for adjusting Ia
Dor difficulties, for promoting the
well-being of labor quite as much as
promoting the welll-being of the m
dustry itself"

President Authorizes Her to Represent Him in Negotiat
ing With Iron and Steel Institute For Acceptance of
Organized LabOrs Plan to Settle Threatened Strike

Washington.-Pre Roosevelt,
after receiving the demands of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers for the settle
ment of the labor dispute in the steel
industry without strike, turned the
entire proposal over to Secretary of
Labor Perkins with full power to rep
resent him and take whatever action
she deemed proper.
The unions plan, which was pre-
sented to the special convention of the
union at Pittsburgh by William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, and adopted by that body,
was given to the president by the
international Executive Board Of the
Association, consisting of M. F.
Tighe, president; Louis Leonard, Sec
retary-treasurer; Thomas G. Gillis
and Edward w. Miller, vice presi-
dents. The board was accompanied by
President Green.
Unions Four Point Plan
The four-point plan presented by
the union asked that the president
appoint an impartial board Of three
to receive complaints and mediate
disputes in the industry and arrange
for collective bargaining conferences
with employers. The board would be
empowered to hold elections by en-
ployes to choose collective bargaining
representatives. All grievances over
wages, hours and conditions of en-
ployment would be settled by negotia-
tions between management and duly
accredited representatives of the
workers, with power in the board to
adjust unsettled questions. Finally,
if the unions plan is accepted by the
steel barons the impending strike
would be declared OFF.
Roosevelt's Statement
In announcing that he had selected
Miss Perkins to handle the entire con-
troversy, the president said:
"We have discussed with the secre-
tary of labor every detail Of the pro-
posal that has been made by COM
mittee of the Amalgamated Steel,
Iron and Tin Workers on behalf of
employees in the steel industry. The
secretary has described to me also the
proposal that the employers in the
steel industry made last week to the
administrator for NRA.
'sIt is my hope that some method
will be found to adjust all the points
that are in controversy and to pre-
serve orderly relations without sac
riicing any principle that is involved.
Il have referred the proposal to the
secretary Of labor for careful study
and to undertake any negotiatins that
seem advisable. The secretary is fully
empowered to represent me in taking
whatever action seems advisable un-
der the circumstances and will Of
course consult and cooperate with all
other agencies of government con-
cerned."

GIVES CANNON TO LEGION
Mrs. G. J. Murphy, Lewes, Donates
Cannon For a Memorial on Lot

A small cannon, mounted on
wheels, dating back to the Revo-
lutionary period when the town of
Lewes was bombarded by British
warships, and subsequently used in
patriotic and political celebrations
during the Civil War, has been do
mated by Mrs. Charles ]. Murphy,
of Lewes, to Henlopen Post, No. 5,
American Legion, who will install
it as a memorial on the Legion
building lot, in Rehoboth. The gun
was owned by Mrs. Murphys faith
er, the late Captain F. G.. Lubker,
and for many years had lain in an
old shed on the banks of the Lew
es-Rehoboth Canal. Recently it
was wheeled into the backyard of
the Murphy home on Second street
where it became a plaything of the
small boys of the town until its
historic import was discovered by
Samuel R. Ewing, post commander.
It is the general belief that this
type of cannon was once used on
the decks of pirate sailing vessels
one of which was captured during
privateering days when it attempt
ed to reach the town up the Hoorn-
kill Creek, now the Lewes-Reho-
both Canal Another like it is
mounted on the embankment in
