PEACE ON THE PACIFIC COAST
 WATERFRONT

Reports indicate that the long sought labor peace on the Pacific Coast waterfront has been achieved to gratifying degree Its permanency. of course can be determined only by the time required for working out of the agreements but there is definite indication that the contracts entered into this year between employers and employees are a sounder foundation than in past years.
 One Of the outstanding features is the arbitration board arrangement for airing of grievances For years the railroads have worked on this principle and have been significantly free of disputes Under the present agreements between the waterfront opera tors and employees there will be stoppage of work until the grievances have been heard by arbtra- ton board
 It seems to be sensible arrangement, which should work to the advantage of employer and em- ployee alike. Why 1t has been necessary to tie ur shipping the coast while various groups picker always has appeared less wasted effort That the arbitration board idea is being brought into practice is the best proof that all concerned ir these labor disputes becoming that little iS gained by cessation of operations, and great dea lost.

tenance of the current system,
asserting tips and meals resulted
in total earnings greater than the
1890 a week proposed by en-
ploye members of the conference.
Establishment of the minimum
without regard for tips was the
recommendation of two union
spokeSmen and representative of
the washington Women's Trade
Union League.
SHE GETS $50 IN TIPS
Mildred H, Siebel, who described
herself as "a non-union hash
singer" from the Charles Cafe
terra, told the conference the
1890 minimum of the employees
was too high" and the SIS mini
mum of the employers was "too
low" The latter figure, it was
explained, would be made up of a
Sc wage in cash, an allowance for
meals and an allowance for tips.
Stating she received $8.75 a
week salary and averaged $40 a
week tips, the witness warned If
the minimum we're set "too high"
women workers would be replaced
by men.
Tillie Mirzga, of the Mayfair
Restaurant, echoed this warning
and added she received 81 a day
wage plus two meals a day of
good food" She said she aver
aged $3.50 a day tips, but admit
ted on cross-examination she did
not consider the Mayfair IAN ordi-
nary restaurant"
OPPOSES FIGURING TIPS
AS spokesman for the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees Alliance,
Rose Brunswick objected to the
minimum proposed by employers
on the ground food included in
the wage was often "left over"
She asserted also tips were the
business of public and the en-
ployes" over which employers
SLlOulQ nave no COIlCeIllp dIIu
should not be calculated.
Ruth Carroll, colored represen-
tative of 400 unionized workers in
Government cafeterias, said they
received an hourly wage of 25
cents and no tips. She asked for
a minimum of between $18 and
$40 per week.
Claiming to represent some TO-
600 affiliated members, Julia
Katz, of the Women's Trade
Union League, assailed the in
clusion of tips in the proposed
minimum on several grounds. AS
to employees, she said, the inclusion
would make the minimum the
maximum, foster a "Speed-up," /"
and would tend toward espionage
and insecurity of position among
the workers.
Speaking for consumers, she
said, restaurant patrons would be-
come subject to a double charge
if employers became the benefici-
aries of tips by including gratu-
tiles in the minimum.
The Washington times., 1938-01-18

of its own," is the way she ex-
presses it.
Assisted by case worker secre-
tary, she covers the entire county
daily-five times if necessary.
She handles all non-Support
cases and takes charge of install
ment paid fines-an innovation
introduced by Judge Benjamin M.
Hedrick, who feels that man in
Jail costs the county money and
in most cases-throWs his family
on relief.
Handling of juvenile delinquents
Is unique, but satisfactory. The
ctlprit, coming before Judge He'd
rick, is asked:
What did you have for
breakfast"
TACTFUL JUDGE
After the flight of fancy-ham,
eggs, fruit and milk, has faded
for even a delinquent has its
pride-the judge suggests:
I'm afraid that isn't enough.
you should try our pancakes"
The child is red-without sacri-
flee to his self respect-and the
case then gets a hearing.
In commenting on this phase of
juvenile delinquency, Mrs. Jacobs
said:
You'd be surprised how their
manner changes" adding. you
know most children are not
vicious, just victims of poor en-
vironment."
There were 103 juvenils cases in
the county last year, including 81
nonresidents (runawayS), IS re-
lief cases and $50 service cases.
Persons appealing to the Board
of Public Welfare for help must
undergo a physical examination.
Mrs. Jacobs is in favor of COM
pulsory medical treatment for so
cial diseases, but so far has been
unable to get the necessary legiS-
lation. Give her time .,.
HOSPITAL BILL BIGGEST
Arlington county's biggest ex-
pense is it's yearly disqualification
bill, $4,000! Compulsory medical
treatment, Mrs. Jacobs feels,
would cut this at least one-third.
Another problem facing the
county is lack of a receiving home.
At present runaways must be con-
fined to Jail pending word from
home. Even wards of the county
are kept there until their cases
are disposed of.

TOGet WPA
Men

NEW YORK, Feb. rs GN.SO.
An Army plan to recruit able
bodied men from WPA work relief
rolls for national defense service
was disclosed today to have been
temporarily thwarted by filling
the Army enrolment limit.
The scheme was reveale d
through letters sent to upstate
welfare commissioners by officers
Of the Second Corps area, point
ing out that enlistment by those
able to bear arms would weed
out WPA rolls and make room
for many now on home relief.
Upstate WPA officials were
asked to send in lists of single
men between 18 and 35, now on
relief. Many officials, it was
learned, failed to comply with the
request on the ground that the
lists might be used for conscrip-
ton purposes.
Col. L. B. Magruder, acting re-
cruiting officer for the Second
Corps area, said the plan origi-
mated with Maj Gen. Frank R.
