M'GRADY HOPEFUL
Of PEACE IN WEST.
Sees Chance for Settlement
of Coast Maritime La.
Dor Dispute.
Py the Associated Press.

Edward F. McGrady. Assistant Sec
retary of Labor, who directed negotia-
tions that led to truce in the Pacific
Coast maritime labor dispute, returned
to Washington yesterday hopeful the
15-day respite would bring settle
ment.
Expressing hope the truce would
result either in new agreements be-
tween the five unions involved and
the shippers, or in a further extension
of time for negotiations, McGrady said
he probably would return to the coast
this week.
Whether he will return will depend
partly on what the recently created
Maritime Commission, which laid
plans for the truce, proposes to do,
he said.
McGrady plans to confer with the
commission tomorrow. He will report
the situation as he observed 1t and
will discuss what future steps the
Government may take.
Meanwhile, he Is keeping in close
touch with the situation by telephone,
conceding that the dispute remains
serious.
If permanent peace Is achieved, five
different unions must work out con-
tracts with shippers in the next IL
days. If the agreements have not been
completed by that time, new stale
mate will threaten.
Employers granted a 15-day exten-
sion Vt present contracts with no
strings attached in order that nego-
tiations for new agreements might be
resumed They stipulated that at the
end of Is days an additional As days
would be granted If unions would agree
to submit to arbitration all matters
still in dispute at the end OF the
negotiation period.
The unions have steadfastly resisted
arbitration of certain differences, and
If they maintain their stand and
employers decline to negotiate further
without promise of arbitration, labor
tie-up will threaten.

trate within the past 80 days all
three of Chevrolet's biggest months.
Total sales for that period were $780,
556 units, bringing the total for the
year to date, from Jan. /, TO 535,634.

GIVE THE ROSES PLENTY OF
WATER

An abundance of water is one of
the most important needs of hybrid
tea roses and, if the beds are prop
erly drained, there is little danger of
overwhelming, according to Walter
R. Ballard, Specialist in Landscape
Gardening for the Extension Service.
He states that the severe weather of
last winter killed back many of the
hybrid tea roses so severely that
little of the plant was left after the
spring pruning. Plants generally
have made strong new growth, he
says, and advises every effort to
build up strong plants.
Methods of watering recommended
by Mr.. Ballard are to soak the
ground thoroughly, but avoid as far
as possible wetting the foliage, as
this has a tendency to stimulate the
development of fungus diseases. AS
the summer approaches. he advises
mulching the rose beds with peat
moss or similar material, which
helps to retain the moisture and to
keep the soil cool.

NOT THE END
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

Not the end, when our loved ones
leave us,
Only just the beginning for them,
In that land of light and glory;
Eternity, knowing no end.
Not the end, they are only beginning
Their glorious immortal career.
To be with their Lord forever;
The warfare all over down here.
Not the end, but the dawning of
morning,
In that city where cometh no night.
Scattered the gloom, and all darkness
God Himself is forever the light.
Not the end, there is no ending
To a life hid with Christ in God.
All safe through the valley of
shadows;
Comforted by His staff and rod.
Not the end, when we cross over
Jordan,
And meet on that evergreen shore
Loved ones who wait our coming,
Where partings are no more.
