M'GRADY FLIES
T0HALT COAST
SHIP STRIKE

Carrying with him an urgent
message from the Maritime Com
mission, calculated to bring ship
owners and West Coast marine
unions to terms, Edward F. NC
Grady, Assistant Secretary OF
Labor, will fly to San Francisco
today.
McGrady and Admira1 Henry A.
Wiley, chairman of the commlS-
sion, declined yesterday to reveal
the contents of the message, but 1t
was strongly intimated to be a Vir-
tual command upon ship owners
to deal more literally with union
leaders.
Plan Agreement
Fastening back to the Capital
from New York, McGrady was
closeted with the commission most
of Yesterday morning. The confer
ence concerned alternate plans to
bring the ship owners and unions
into agreement on new working
contracts. The present agreements
terminated September 80, have
been extended by agree m n t
through october Is.
Emerging from the conference.
McGrady painted a dismal picture
of the outlook for effectlng an
early agreement. He said:
"The situation looks bad. The
latest adviceS we have had show
no improvement. We hope, how
ever, to avert a shipping tle-up,
either by composing the differ
ences of the employers and labor,
or at least effecting a further
extension of the present agree
mentS."
WILEY'S STAND
Admiral Wiley said:
I've been involved in labor
disputes before, but never one
as difficult as this. / am salts
fled that both sides will come
to agreement eventually, and
we want both employers and the
unions to feel that the board
will maintain an impartial atti-
tude throughout the negOtia-
tiOns."
On his arrival in San Francisco
McGrady will confer with Off
cials of the six marine unions in
volved and with the committee
representing ship owners.
Harry Lundeberg, head OF the
Seamen's Union of the Pacific,
who spent most of wednesday in
conference with the Maritime Com
mission, declared before he left
that the major issue at stake in
the controversy can be settled sat
isfactorily if ship owners will dis
cuSs mutual concessions.

BREAKS BONDS
To SEIZE THUG

His fury aroused when thug
seized his wife, Abe Weinstrab,
grocer Of 1926 New Jersey Ave.
N. W., burst the bonds with which
he had been tied, chased three
colored men from his store and
finally caught one five blocks
away and, held him until police
arrived.
Weinstrab was alone in the store
when the three colored men
entered, tied him up and robbed
him of $40. They then went up
stairs where his wife, Mrs. Dora
Weinstrab, was asleep.
AS one of the thugs seized her
she screamed. Her husband burst
the ropes, chased the bandits, one
of whom was armed with a re-
volver, and finally caught one Of
the fleeing men.
At police headquarters the man
gave his name as Mckinley Smith,
28, of the 1900 block Fourth st.
N. w. Police are holding him for
investigation and searching for
his two companions.

BLAME ROAD
DESCRIBEDBY
WH|TEHURST
TrafficCommitteeTold
Plan Would Relieve
Congestion

A model highway on K Street be-
tween Connecticut Avenue and
Thirteenth Street Northwest, with
Service roadways" flanking the
main thoroughfare was described
by Capt. Herbert c. Whitehurst, di.
rector of highways of the District,
to members of the House subcom.
mittee studying traffic today.
Two 10-foot roadways would be
made through the sidewalks on K
Street, leaving the trees growing
at present in two islands between
the service roadwayS and the main
street.
Such a project, Captain White
hurst said, would do much to re-
lieve the present traffic problem in
Washington.
A second major project under
study by the highway department.
is the construction of an elevated
highway on K Street from Twenty.
seventh Street to Key Bridge.
This would relieve the traffic con-
gestion now obtaining in M Street,
Georgetown.
Captain Whitehurst said:
"The problem of street widen.
ing in Washington is essentially
its cost. All the widening neces-
s8ry in the District could be
done for the same cost as three
or four major projects in any
other city in the country, be-
cause the distance between
building lines here is so great.
"1f cars were prevented from
parking or even stopping at the
curb, much Of the problem of
traffic congestion downtown
would be Obyiated without any
widening.
I'VE estimated the cost Of
street widening at $37 to $40 per
linear foot. Since this cost
must be divided between the
widening and the replacement
of the pavement, we feel that
widening should be done as the
street wears out"
Captain White hurst then
launched into a discussion Of
the redesigning OF circles, particu.
larly Dupont, Thomas, Scott and
Logan.
Representative Schultz D.) of
Indiana asked:
'What do you think of elimi.
mating left turns at all corners
in a downtown area say, two
miles square,?
"That might or might not ,
work. I don't think, though,
that it would solve the problem
Of rotary traffic."
Schultz also suggested that con.
geStion in Sixteenth Street, as cars
pile into the "split circle' at Scott
Circle, could be helped by speed.
ing up the traffic lights and better
policing.
Captain Whitehurst estimated
the cost Of constructing pedestrian
SubwayS on Pennsylvania Avenue
for Government workers at $25, 900.
He said he had little faith in the
only subway now in operation on
Benning Road.
