TEMPORARY TRUCE
STOPS STRIKE Of
CAPITOL PAINTERS.
Men Returning to Work
Pending Further Study
of Problem.
N0N.UNI0N WORKERS
ARE CRUX OF ARGUMENT
Cancellation Service of Depart
ment of Labor Aids in Reach
ing Settlement.

The 24-hour strike of painters
employed by the architect of the Capt.
tol on jobs at the Capitol and House
Office Buildings was ended under q
temporary arrangement at noon today
and it was announced the men were
returning to work this afternoon.
The strike was called at noon yes
terday by Painters Local 1868, while
last-minute touches were being given
to cleanup jobs in preparation for
the opening of Congress Monday. The
trouble resulted from the employment
of non-union with union painters
The settlement worked out by the
Cancellation Service of the Depart
ment of Labor provided for further
study of this problem and another
created by the introduction of out-of-
town labor, according to j. R. Steel
man, director of Cancellation.
The settlement was negotiated by
Bryce P. Holcombe, business agent for
the local, and David Lynn, architect
for the Capitol. Holcombe said the
terms were satisfactory pending con-
sideration of the issues involved by
the proper committees of Congress.
Reports Differ on Number Out.
While the strike was said to have
made IS idle. the actual strikers we're
reported by Mr.. Holcombe to number
48.
NOn-Union Men Walk Out.
Union and non-union workmen were
about equally divided in the force that
was uot, according to Mr. Holcombe.
He said the union, an affiliate of the
American Federation of Labor, COM
planned last year about the employ
ment of non-union forces at the Capt.
tol, and that an adjustment was
promised but did not materialize.
When the union men were called
from the job yesterday some of those
not belonging to the local struck in
sympathy. Mr.. Holcombe said, while
others were pulled off by Mr.. Lynn.
DR.. j. R. Steelman, director of
conciliation, quickly got the disputants
together, and it was decided that the
Cancellation Service should handle the
case.

According to the office of the archi-
tect of the Capitol, men are employed
without any questions being asked as
to their affiliation or non-affiliattion

 Sure. What else? That's silly too. because most of us would be willing to make the purse to the winning pro a small one, just as 1t is in the open golf champion ship, and trust to the prestige of the title to bring in the money. I'd play in one tomorrow for a top prize of 5000. And with the pros playing the amateurs the increased gate re- ceipts would more than make up for the prize money.
 But what the helll I'm doing all right. People are always saying that exhibition tennis like I'm play ing now will die for lack of new blood--new stars. But they're wrong, I believe. All we need is a new amatelS every two or three years to keep going all right. And by year after next, when Perry and have played most of the cities available, why who knows but what Budge or Won Cramm or McGrath will be ready to make a little money and fewer cups and saucers? Those sil- yer cups make poor eating after a while."

Two Greatest Tennis PIay- CTS Paired in Madison

New York, March 24-(UP) --Age- less William Taten Tilden, IT, matches professional tennis strokes with dapper. young Frederick John Perry tonight at Madison Square Garden.
 It will be their first meeting, Perry being but Q child when Big Bill ruled the courts of the world, and Tilden being an untouchable 'pro" while Perry reigned supreme as an amateur. .f ss
 Perry, biggest money maker the game has ever known, ruled Q 2---1 favorite to win the best three out of five set affair tonight, but Tilden, master shotmaker of them all, is confident he is still good for five sets in any company despite his A years.
 Tilden never has lost match in the Garden since he turned profess sional in 1881. Since then he has conquered such stars as Henri Cochet, Vincent Richard, Ellsworth Vines and Karel Kozeluh under Garden lights. Tn week long torr- nament such as at Wimbledon, Til- den's legs undoubtedly would fail him, but many of his packers believe he still has the shots to defeat any opponent over the five-set route. :.
 Perry, the 28 year old American ized Englishman, will be ct the top of his game after more than two months of play with Ellsworth Vines, worlds professional champion. They halted their current tour long enough for Perry and Tilden to engage in a five match series that will take them from here to Boston, Pittsburgh, De- troit and Chicago. A capacity house of 16,000 persons paying $31. 900 for tickets scaled up to $5.50 was as- sured tonight. a .s

BY WILLIAM H. LANDER United Press Stan COrrespOndent) Mexico City, March 24-(U.P)- On Mexico City's plateau high among the Sierra Madres, Connie Mack Is preparing for another American League campaign with his Philadelphia Athletics-and the outlook is none too bright.
 His pitching staff is composed of many hopeful young men. His in- field IS supported by a highly promising but iinseasoned rookie al one corner; firebrand at third: a httless wonder at shortstop and a S2-year-old veteran at second. His outf1eld is good but he has no re- serves. And he has a capable catch CT supported by a former minor leaguer who, at 32, Is a rookie.
 But Mack is as youthfully optirn- istic at 74 as he was @ half-century ago.
 Connie Optimistic
 q think we've got chance Connie gays. Not a chance to win the pellnant but chance to sur- prise a lot of people who think we'll be doormats.
 Since coming to camp some of my doubts have been dispelled. l feel sure now that Chubby Dean at first will star. Bill Werber's speed and spirit will mean @ lot at third Bill Cissell can play second when he wants to. Shortstop still is open but we know Skeeter Newsome can give us top defensive strength. At least. Frank Hayes looked good be- hind the plate and Veteran Earle Brucker is going to be a valuable addition. 01~-
 But Q team always is just as good as the pitching, and there is the question mark. However, I feel the pitching will be an improvement over last year." Whatever the destinies of last years cellar champions are, it will be a revamped Philadelphia team that opens the season April 19 in Washington.
 Higgins Traded
 During the winter Connie traded the dissatisfied Pinky Higgins to Boston for Werber who couldn't get along up there. Cissell is the same infielder for whom the late Charles Comiskey once paid $l23 00O. He was drafted from Baltimore after a philosophic detachment concerning training rules sent him there Brucker, former pilot of St. Joseph Mo, who had a great season with Portland, looks like a find for sec. ond string catching honors.

 Only established major league pitcher is Harry Kelley, who after 10 years in the bushes, won l5 games last year and then went to the hospital suffering from appen- dicitiS. Lee Ross, North Carolina sandlotter who won nine games last year for the As, is rated by Connie as a promising hurler.
