perted in the fight between a new
independent union and the c. I.
O.'S United Automobile Workers
Union for majority membership

The police were stationed at

Martin said:

with company unions before

WHITE COLLAR
DRIVE HERE

Entering a new field In the CAPT.
tai, the Committee for Industrial
Organization today is planning a
drive to enroll all white collar
workers who are not employed
by the Government.
Plans for the drive were ex-
planned last night at a meeting of
the United Office and Professional
Workers of America, Local 81,
which has been granted a charter
by the c. I. O.
The meeting, held at the Ham
ilton Hotel, was addressed by
James Gilman of New York. vice
president of the new organization,
who pointed to the gains made by
industrial unions recently and the
need for the white collar work
ers" to solidify.
Jacob Baker, president Of the
United Federal Workers, another
C. I. o. organization, also ad.
dressed the meeting, declaring the
office workers must be organized
universally.
Cedric Fowler, c. I. o. repre-
sentative, outlined the aims Of the
organization, and Byran Hemp
hill, president of the new local,
announced that temporary head
quarters had been established at
808 Seventeenth st. N. w., and
that a vigorous membership cam
paign will be started at once.
The Washington times., 1937-07-29

The strikers also objected to the
possibility Of the Government let.
ting a contractor build the com.
munity house-they want the job
themSelveS-and on that point
they may win. But on the ques.
ton Of personnel, they will not
win, according to Milo Perkins,
acting RIA administrator. Perkins
said:
1--WE simply cannot let the
hOmesteaders decide who Is
going to administer a project
on which the Government Is
spending about $1,5OO,OOO, ap-
propriated by Congress for .
specific purpose"
The Washington times., 1937-07-29

About $50 Of the workers have
quit working on their own homes,
the community's sewage system
and preparations for building a
community center because Of the
dismissal of some supervisors and
the nondiSmissal of some others.
Cessation of work halted the
pay rolls, which the Government
was providing so the workers could
pay the Government rent on the
homes they are building. The
materials and land are supplied
by the Government.
This complication leaves some
of the workers living in unfinished
homes, without pay, and facing
rent day the first of the month.

LABOR AWAITS
PASSAGE OF
WAGE BILL

Organized labor and the work
ing man generally is expecting
Congress to enact wage and hour
bill at this session in fulfillment
of q Democratic campaign pledge,
President Roosevelt was advised
yesterday by Sidney Hillman, who,
with John L. Lewis, is a guiding
force in the CLIO.
Hillman said he had expected a
better bill than the one introduced
by Senator Black CD, Alabama.
But added if that was all Congress
would pass it meets the problem
in many aspects"
Defends Labor Board
Hillman defended the National
Labor Relations Board in talking
to reporters following his White
House call, saying:
''In some cases in which 1 was
personally interested the board
in my opinion ruled unjuStly
against labor, but that does not
1mpeI me to charge it is identi-
fled with the Liberty League. I
thiLk NLRB Is making the
greatest current contribution to
industrial peace"
The labor leader was hopeful
that the tense situation on the
industrial front would ease up.
He said "a few men like Tom
Girdler of Republic Steel are dis
turbing the situation" He added:
81 don't think the GirdlerS
and q few others are represent
alive Of management as have
come to know them over q
period of years."
Reports Progress
Hillman said he was making
great progress in organizing the
textile industry under the CLIO.
Approximately 100000 workers
already enjoy contracts arranged
by CLIO, between 10000 and 49,.
600 Of this number being in the
South.
The CLIO, Hillman said, has
authority to negotiate for approx
imately $4,000 workers out of
1850, 900 in the industry on the
understanding that they pay no
dues until a contract has been
arranged for them.

Striking Employees
Replaced by Hotel

ALBANY, N. Y, July 49,
Workers from New York city to-
night replaced striking employees
Of the Ten Eyck Hotel, who walked
out when the management re-
jected their demands for higher
wages. Earlier, 100 delegates to
. convention of the Allied Print
ing Trades Council of New York
left the hotel because Of the

Hotel Strike Ends
In San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.
The 89-day San Francisco hotel
strike ended yesterday with the
signing Of agreements between
operators and the II unions in
Volved. The 10 hotels which have
been closed during the dispute
were expected to open imme.
diately.
The Washington times., 1937-07-29

Today, however, the request
was made, and thus part Of the
controversy seems headed fol-
prompt adjustment.
The union charged "ScabS" EN-
ployed by two out-of-town contrac'
tors at the City Post Office and
the Bureau Of Internal Revenue
are receiving the standard $11
for an eight-hour day rather
than the usual seven-hour day.
Because the nonunion contrac,
tors omit to pay double time for
the extra hour, as union con-
tractors would be forced to do,
the latter are placed at a com
petitive disadvantage in bidding
on local work, the union alleges.
The situation also involves
violation of the Bacon-DaViS Act.
requiring local customs and
wages to prevail on Federal con-
struction, it is claimed. On this
basis, the painters union has re-
ceived assurance of the willing
ness Of the Labor Department to
investigate, but reports the Pro
curement Division "Shied" from
making a formal request for such
probe.
Harry S. Wender, attorney for
the painters, declared Procure
ment Division authorities reported
no action was necessary because
there is no strike and no con-
troversy." Meanwhile, more or
less in answer to this statement,
is the report of Bryce P. Hol-
combe, business agent Of the
painters, that all his men are
out on every project handled by
the Procurement Division.
Settlement of Strike
Seen Approaching
Originally, the painters refused
to work at the City Post Office
and Internal Revenue. Hence
these two jobs are free from a
STRIKE" as it is technically under
stood. However, the painters are
actually on strike at every other
project, including millions of dol
lars worth of construction on the
Apex and Archives buildings.
The absence of painters on
these jobs has forced other build
ing tradeSmen, such as iron
workers and cement finishers, to
cease work. This is because their
normal routine has been inter
rupted by a lack Of necessary
painting. Yet, Wender says, the
Procurement Division asserts
there is no strike"
Wender yesterday requested i'm
mediate action from Rear Admiral
C. j. Peoples, director Of procure
ment. All that (waS necessary to
clean up a nasty labor situation
and one liable to grow more seri-
ous,) he inferred-waS a mere word
from the Procurement Division to
the Labor Department. Repre-

Too Much Mother Love Can Wreck
Her Children's Lives.

the portion Of the balance of humanity.
So they rail at Gods injustice when
one they love dies. They turn quit
ters when they have to do hard work
And they go to pieces if they lose their
money. 1--WE have always had every
thing We wanted" they cry, land We
can't stand trouble like other people"
And it is true. Their mothers have
made them weaklings who lack the
strength and courage to fight the bat
tie of life.
THE selfish and self-centered are
unpopular because they are bores.
Their one topic of conversation is
themselves. They monologue along
by the hour about their own exploits,
their business, their wives, their chill
dren. their homes, their operations
until their victims scream with agony
and everybody who knows them avoids
them as they would the plague.
Selhshness absolutely units any one
for marriage. 1t is the selfish hus-
bands and wives who are determined
to have their own way about every
thing, who try to take all and give
nothing in return. who grab the best
of everything for themselves, who
think only Of their own happiness
and not Of their mates, who quarrel
like cats and dogs and eventually land

Reception
Principal
Invitation
Ceremony May Be
Limited to Members
of Families.
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST: We, all the
relatives of Mary living in Blank
town, have been invited to her we'd
ding reception only. None of us
knows whether she is having any one
at the ceremony, or even where it
will take place. The distance from
our homes to the reception is over
q hundred miles and we think it
Is expecting a good deal of us TO
come that far to the reception alone.
In fact, We believe that the invita-
tions are intended simply as mat
ter Of respect and, that being the
case, we would all rather not 60.
Do you think so, and don't you
really think that had she wanted
us she would have asked us to the
ceremony, too?
Answer-The reception Is always
considered the principal invitation.
In other words, an invitation to a
church wedding of any size includes
all acquaintance as well as friends
and relatives, whereas only relatives
and intimate friends are usually in
vited to the house. 1t does sometimes
happen that the ceremony is private;
usually this denotes an invalid par
ent of either the bride or bridegroom,
who would be unable to be present at
gathering of any size. In fact. this
ceremony sometimes takes place at
the bedside of parent. Or perhaps the
bride and bridegroom have different
religious beliefs and must necessarily
be married in the vestry. In any
case, when other relatives are not
invited to the ceremony it means
that none except the immediate fam
lilies will be present.
\ y y +
nEAR MRS. POST: When q toast
is proposed to a young bride at
her wedding reception, should she
remain seated or stand in acknowl-
edgment Of her guests good wishes?
Should she drink with the others or
wait until after they have finished.
and is nothing but wine suitable to
drink q toast?
Answer-She remains seated and
does not share in the drinking of the
toast. She usually just smiles and
says. THANK you," although she
might rise and make a few remarks.
A toast is drunk either in wine or
in fruit cup. In other words, it
could not be drunk in tea or coffee
or chocolate.
4 Il \ X
DEAR MRS. POST: Is it proper for
a widow over 40 to send out we'd
ding announcements, and would it be
permissible for her grown unmar-
ried daughter to send them in her
name?
Answer-I think under the circum-
stances it would be much better for
the widow to send out the announce
ments in her own and husbands
names.
