GENERAL STRIKE THREATENED
IN u. s. PAINTING PROGRAM
By J. EARLE MOSER

Unless something is done
about it-and apparently moth
ing can be-the Treasury De-
partment will face general
strike in its construction prof.
ects next week.
Furious because contracts have
been awarded to allegedly non
union outside" firms for paint
ing the interiors of the City
Post office and Internal Revenue
Extension Buildings, the 500
strong A. F.. L.-affiliated Paint
ers and Decorators Local Union
plans to call a walkout the mo-
menS work begins"
The two buildings in question
will be picketed, officials indi-
Gated today, and the strike is
expected to affect construction
work now in progress at Procure
ment Division, Archives, Bureau
of Engraving and Printing and
the Apex Building. Projects not
administered by Treasury, how
ever, will not be affected.
If the strike comes off, there
is a possibility that between
5000 and 10000 craft unionists
will participate, the union alas-
terers, cement finishers, station
airy engineers and GLACIERS al
ready having promised support TO
the painters.
The controversy arose over the
awarding of a $4,000 painting
contract to Coons and RaptiS,
Brooklyn firm, for the city post
office job, and a $4,000 plum to
Wilson & Co., of Atlanta, Ga, for
the Internal Revenue painting.
Both are alleged by unionists to
use non-union labor, and the TACT
that such labor would be imported
from other cities has local men
hot. Union officials said today.
"TheSe firms can't get by with
this in their own cities because
union men have representation
in Congress. We, however, have
to tolerate it here because we
have no such representation.
The unioniStS also charged to-
day that the contracts in question
were held up prior to election to
avoid labor controversies such as
the one now pending.
At the Treasury Department 1t
was admitted that the situation
impends, but that nothing can be
done, inasmuch as the firms in
question were the low bidders for
the jobs and under the law must
be awarded the work. Unionists,
however, pointed out that rul-
ings of the Comptroller General
give awards to the lowest "respon-
sible" bidder-and claim non
union firms are not fully "respon-
sible."
There is no question Of wages
in the fuss, contractors with the
Government being forced to pay
according to existing scales. Like
wise, any future strike will not
mean the walkout of Government
paid painters, unioniSts were care
full to point out.

France and Virginia, you will find that
the cod is the best known, as well as
the most important fish caught.
In fact, 1t Is said that vessels from
England visited the fishing grounds
near Iceland in about 14l5 and that
centuries before Columbus made his
discovery, the Basques knew well the
banks Of Newfoundland.
The cod feeds upon almost any
thing that comes his way. He enjoys
small sea animals which are listed
as crustaceans, small fishes and mol
lusks. He enjoys q meal of Irish
moss and other vegetation close by.
He apparently has acquired the habit
OF following vessels and thrlVes on
potato peelings, corn cobs and even
teething rings, bits of jeWelry lost
overheard and scissors have been
among the strange things found in
the stomachs OF Gods.
This fellow is greenish or brown
ish color, but may vary greatly.
