Bridge players are taught early the value of high cards. They learn the occasionally greater value of low ones only in the costly school of experience.

INTERESTING FACTS
REGARDING AUTO
OPERATORS

During these days much stress is
laid on operation of motor vehicles in
volved in fatal accidents, especially
the operator himself, who he is, what
kind of person he is, and whether he
is a habitual violator. The Safety
Department of this office has COM
piled some figures relative to the re-
cords of these operators who were
involved in these fatalities, which
takes the lives of so many of our
citizens of this State, and some in
teresting facts have been developed
regarding this subject.
For instance, out of six hundred
and sixty-two operators involved dur
ing the year of 1887, in the State of
Maryland, one hundred and thirty-six
or 20 per cent were residents of some
other State, other than Maryland, and
this office has no information of their
respective records. Thirty or A per
cent were operators involved in Hit
and-Run cases and have never been
apprehended. Three hundred and six
ty-one or 55 per cent were operators
with no previous records. One hun
dred and thirty-five or 21 per cent
were operators with previous records
A total of eighty-five operators
paid the costly price with their lives
in these accidents, of which Nineteen
had previous records. Four hundred
and eleven were more fortunate, OF
which one hundred and sixteen had
previous records. A further compila-
tion discloses that out of the total
operators involved, three hundred and
four were residents of the Counties
of this State, and one hundred anC
ninety-two were residents of Balti
more City.

BoardI Washington is faced with
a new strike crisis!
y The big Sitdown strike took
place last night in the gymnasium
.Of Roosevelt High School. More
than 200 students, cadets in their
very best dress uniforms and girls
IN their swankieSt evening gowns,
sat down on the floor and refused
to move.
The reason? They wanted a
Big Apple, and the faculty chap
erones had decreed that no hot
music" be played.
The waltz may have satisfied
parents and grandparents, but
when waltz after waltz was played
by the orchestra, revolt broke out.
The dancers sat down.
Down they stayed for some Is
minutes, until finally the orcheS-
ira started up the required "hot"
tunes. The Big Apple followed
and the sit-down strike ended.

Vincent Lopez may have q new
way of playing "The StarSpan-

easier to sing, but the Daughters
of the American Revolution are no
longer interested.
Several weeks ago the famous

William A. Becker, D. A. R., preSi-
dent, to come to Washington and
play his Streamlined version Of the
National Anthem, before the Ma

which meets here beginning

But then Lopez started playing
his new arrangement in public and
the D. A. r. didn't like the press
newspaper notices it got. So late
last week, Mrs. Becker'S secretary
wrote Lopez thanking him for his
interest but that the D. A. r. was
going to stick by the National An

Wage Decision
Scale for Workers in
Hotels To Be Set

Announcement later in the week
of pay standards for woraen in
the hotel and restaurant indus
tries was promised yesterday by
the Minimum Wage Board.
The ultimate decision probably
will be a compromise between sug-
gestions of employers for a slid
ing scale of wages ranging from
$12 to SIG a week and the proposal
of workers for a flat scale Of $19
q week.
One important issue to be de-
cided by the board will be whether
mattresses shall regard tips as
part of the minimum pay, as In.
sisted on by employers, or shall
be permitted to get their gratul'
ties, as asked by unionists.

/. Convention today dealt stinging
blow at their own officers who
draw pay for more than one job.
Only quick action by John l..

the situation from becoming one
of real embarrassment. For the
mine workers secretary, Tom

a job on the State Labor Relations

REJECTION OVERRIDDEN
A resolution from the Central
City (Pa) local, providing that
no union officer might hold more
than one job, started the trouble.
The officers committee recon-
mended rejection of this resolu-
ton, but delegates, in noisy con-
fusion, summarily rejected the
officers recommendation.

vote. When this had been taken,
1t was painfully apparent the

The Washington times., 1938-02-01

President William Green had
indicated yesterday the council
might take up the question of
possible expulsion Of the CIO
unions, but when the council
meeting got under way today
members turned their attention
to jurisdictional disputes.
It was indicated no action
against the CIO will be taken be-
fore tomorrow, at the earliest.

and the AFL seemed destined to
continue today as President Will
liam Green, of the latter organ
ization, stiffly rejected the Sugges-
ton of Father Francis ]. Haas.
noted labor arbitrator, that both
sides stop pickering and return
to negotiating peace.
At the same time the personal
feud between Charles P. Howard,
president of the International
Typographical Union, and David
Dubinsky, president of the Inter
national Ladies Garment Workers
Union, progressed with Howard
dashing off a caustic telegram to
his critic.
HOWARD ANSWERS
Dubinsky had criticized Howard
for functioning both as president
Of an organization affiliated with
AFL and as secretary Of CIO and
had suggested that his position
was contradictory.
Howard replied:
MY position is no more con.
Trajectory than yours. You sup
port ALL, while your union
offiliated with CIO. I support
CIO while my union affiliated
with A. FL"
The Howard .Dubinsky wrangle
added nothing to the major prob
lem of peace or its solution.
HAAS PLEA IGNORED
Father Haas, former member Of
the National Labor Relations
Board had suggested at a meeting
Of the United Mine Workers, CIO
affiliate and personally controlled
by John L. Lewis, that both sides
overlook the question of who was
to blame for failure of the last
peace negotiations, and get to
work on new plans.
But Green reported that an
agreement had been reached at
the early conference and I'VE are
waiting for it to be lived up to-"
Green reported he had talked
with James P. Dewey, chief con
ciliator for the U. S. Department
of Labor, and Dewey had no def
mite plans for furthering peace
negotiations between the two Ia
Dor groups but hoped" that a
solution of the vexing problem
would be reached soon.
