Hour, Delaying Project.
Harmony Sought.

the. Library of Congress Annex con-
tinued to tie up work on that S6,-

leaders indicated efforts to bring about
an agreement and end the strike would

strike, it was said. when they found
they were to receive $1.25 an hour
instead Of $1.371a an hour.
John Locher, president of the Gen.
tral Labor Union, said the wage scale
formerly was SIPS an hour for car
penters and stood at that figure when
specifications for the Library Of Con-
gress Annex were drafted long ago
In the meantime, however, the car
penters' wage scale here, he said, had
been increased to $1.371a. Both the
Government and the contractor, Con-
solidated Engineering Co., knew Of
the increase in the wage scale, Locher
said.
The old figure of SIPS as the pre-.
vailing wage scale remained, however
in the specifications and when car.
penters. went to get their pay it Il
understood the company offered to pay
them that figure.
The Consolidated Engineering Co.
which has built several big Govern.
ment structures here, including the
Department of Commerce and the
House ONCE Building, always has en-
ployed union labor.
The carpenters are on strike only
on this one job, according to Locher
All other union jobs throughout the
city are paying the prevailing scale
of $1.371a, Locher said.

ADDITIONAL POLICE
SOUGHT FOR ROAD
Decrease in Accidents Cited
on Defense Highway When
Patr0lIed.

Dangerous curves. grades and mar
row roadbed make the Defense high
way a road that should receive con-
slant patrolling. Police Commissioner
Vinton D. Cockey of Prince Georges
County said today.
Were the road Strengthened and
widened. he said, less policing would
be required. but at present reckless
driving on it is doubly dangerous be-
cause of the many reverse curves,
steep grades and blind intersections
Despite these hazards there has
been practically no policing of the
road since five persons lost their lives
in one of its death traps" August 20
a check-up today showed.
No Troopers Seen.
Justice of the Peace Louis A. Gund-
ling of Lanham said he has not hac
a traffic case. except two fatal acci-
dents in which he acted as coroner
for a month, while merchants along
the road assert they have not seen q
State trooper pass their doors for two
weeks.
Informed of these conditions, mem
berS of a Special Defense Highway
Committee of the Prince Georges
County Federation Of Citizens ASso'
Citations said they would insist more
State troopers be assigned to the road
State police heads have repeatedly
stated their force of rs men is in
sufficient to patrol the highways
They admit that the one man as
signed to cover part of the Baltimore
boulevard and Defense highway is not
enough.
Will Fight for Men.
until they can prove to us that
there are more dangerous roads on
which the need for a motor cycle
patrol is greater, we intend to camp
on the doorstep of the State police
officials until they increase the force
on the Defense Highway" Delegate
John S. White, chairman OF the
federation's committee, said.
When the officers patrol the road
accidents are noticeably fewer. accord
ing to those who live along it. They
say there has not been fatal acci-
dent during the Bowie racing season
for years because a special detail OF
State troopers regulates traffic.
Likewise, 1t was recalled, that after
a series of serious accidents a few
years ago, Corpl. c. w. Cuhbage was
assigned to the Defense Highway fol
about four months, during which there
was not a single fatal accident.

"The arrests Cubbage made wer,
like a chain letter." a gas station
manager said. Every time he ar
rested one man, 10 men heard abou
it and drove more carefully"
Because of the lack of State polio.
on the road recently motorists ar,
running wild, the manager asserted
Accidents occur which are never re-
ported and wrecks stay on the high,
way "a hours because there are nj
State officers to authorize their re-
moval, it is claimed.
County police say they send patro
car down the road each night, bu
such cars cannot cope with speeder,
and reckless drivers as well as officer
on motor cycles.
At least one State officer should b.
assigned to the road at al times, witt
at least four on Sundays and holidays
