 PROPOSE SESSION

tary of the union, said that unions in all the branch plants had agreed to such & conference. The dele gates, he said, would negotiate witt the company concerning the 10 pei cent pay reduction announced last Wednesday, which precipitated the local strike. He said that one o1 the delegates at such a conference would be Reed Robinson, of Den- yer, Col, president of the 1nterna- tional Mine, Mill and Shelter Work CTS, parent union of the local.
 Strike Ended
 The strike at the north plant of the American Brass Go. ended today as employees returned to work after the company had agreed to hold negotiationS with the Waterbury Brass Workers union, a CIO aff1li- ate, relative to 10 per cent pay cut announced last week. Company of hcials and representatives of the strikers were conferring early this afternoon at the main offices of the firm.
 Ending the strike was agreed on yesterday afternoon at a conference in which company officials, en- ployes' representatives and Deputy Labor Commissioner Morgan R. Mooney participated. The union agreed to have the strikers go back to work today, pending negotiations with the company.
 Began Last Wednesday
 The strike began last Wednesday morning when employees of one de- partment stopped work when notice of 10 per cent wage cut and the abandonment of a weeks vacation with pay was posted. They walked out on strike that afternoon. Their ranks were augmented by workers from other departments, and the strike soon began to assume serious proportions. Some of the strikers returned to work, but the union m- sisted yesterday that the strike was still in progress.
 During the strike, the union filed charges against the company with the national labor relations board, claiming that the firm had refused to negotiate with the accredited representatives of employees. The company in an official statement de- nied this.
 Announced Yesterday
 Announcement of the agreement to end the strike this morning was made by John J. Driscoll, secretary of the union, in an address over Station WATR early last night. He declared that the strike had not been declared by the CIO but had been spontaneous in its origin Though not planned by the union he said, the walk-out had the or ganizations support.
 A complaint by union workers al the Noera Mfg. Co. that the con- pany violated its contract with then by announcing 10 per cent wage reduction last week is now in the hands of the state board of media. tion and arbitration. The company a subsidiary of the Chase Brass & Copper Co.,, entered into a contract with the union last summer after 6 strike.
 At Conference
 Attending the conference which resulted in the end of the American Brass Go. strike were MT. Mooney J. O. Alderman, company Superin. tendent; and MT. Driscoll, Ale1 Cashin, William Feltman, A. Law. renee DeJoseph, John Mirfield, Tim othy Horan. Irving Dwy and Vim cent Mazziotti, representing thu strikers.

Picking a Winner.

AS political soothsayer, President
Roosevelt seems to be gifted with the
knack of being right only when he is
wrong, or wrong only when he is right,
depending on ones point of view. That.
at least, is one inference that might be
drawn from his informal forecasts of
the New Deal purges.
In Georgia and Maryland the Presi-
dent called for the elimination of Sena-
tors George and Tydings But on that
count he was wrong. Only in privately
1orecasting the defeat of the candidates
ne had indorsed was he right.
The situation in New York's sixteenth
congressional district was different, how
ever. There Mr.. Roosevelt called for the
defeat of Representative O'Connor, and
on that score he was right. But, privately.
ne predicted that Mr. O'Connor would
win. So, It seems, when he was right
on the purge he was wrong on the FORE
cast, and when he was right on the FORE
cast ne was wrong on the purge.
Should any one be interested in ascer-
tanning what, if anything, is proved by
all OF this, he had better consult Mr.
Roosevelt. No one else seems to know.

which these units were set up. 1t was
shown that hundreds of families vitally
in need Of aid of some kind had been
turned away because there was no
money.
In the case of the Chest agencies, the
situation is critical. An example is the
Florence Crittenton Home, where addi-
tional funds are needed to pay teachers
who provide the girls with specialized
training. Formerly, these teachers were
paid with money furnished by the Board
Of Education. This assistance from
public funds now has been withdrawn.
The Family Service Association, asking
an additional $4,000, carries ION work
which the Public Assistance Division of
the Board of Public Welfare is unable to
handle. The Bureau of Rehabilitation
wants $4,000 more from the Chest to
extend the work of re-establishing re-
leased prisoners, problem which officials
Of the District are seeking to solve with
out undue increase in Washington's
budget.
The problem is one which must be
faced. The welfare of every citizen is
involved. If public funds cannot be
obtained, private giving must be in
creased. The answer lies with the
individual.

Charitv's Need.

Already twelve of the sixty-four
agencies covered by the Community
Chest have presented the story of their
needs and plans to the Budget Committee,
of which j. S. Gorrell is chairman. And
eight of the twelve have asked for in
creases of from $1,000 to s60,oOo for the
next year. Conferences to be held in
the next five weeks will hear the needs
of the other f1fty-two units
In the words of Chairman Gorrell,
"only if Washington's giving habits can
be spurred to higher level can only a
fractional increase in budgets of Chest
agencies be considered'
The matter is one which demands the
most serious consideration Many of the
increases are made necessary because of
the growing demand placed upon pri-
vate charities and welfare groups by the
spirit of the times. Others are made
necessary by the insufficiency of public
appropriations for such purposes 1t has
been only few days since the Board of
Public Welfare received the annual re-
ports of some of its units pointing to
the paucity of funds for the work for

Oscar WestOver.

One of the chief reasons for the Sue
cesses of the United States Army through
out its long history has been the quality
of personal leadership it has enjoyed
from its officers of all grades. On many
battlefields the American fighting man
has demonstrated gloriously that under
the command of competent officers he
will advance confidently and unflinch-
ingly into the thick of the most hope
less of stricken fields. Seldom has he
lacked that leadership.
The quality of personal leadership
which has made the American military
services great was displayed throughout
his brilliant career by Major General
Oscar Westover, Chief of the Army Air
Corps, who yesterday went to flaming
death at the controls of his own airplane.
Sustaining the tradition of personal
leadership which is the heritage of the
American Army officer General Westover
never asked that an Air Corps pilot should
go where he was not willing to lead.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLESE. TRACEWELL.
Visitors from Canada are In town.

Visitors from Canada are in town.
Guess who?
Starlings, of course. Having spent their
summer in the North, they are coming
back to Washington.
Memories of the nice warm public
buildings, with wide ledges, lured them
Bands of them are to be seen-and
heard-every day now in the suburban
areas
These big black fellows, with stubby
tails, fly in late in the afternoon, taking
up lodgings for the night In any conven-
lent oak.
We still believe that our suggestion of
last year is good one.
Well-constructed starting roosts, elec-
trically heated, would attract the birds,
leaving the buildings to their spotless
splendor.
Starlings are peculiarly susceptible to
claw freezing.
Often on bitter cold winter mornings
they are unable to get their feet loose
from stone ledges and tin roofs or other
roosting places.
Being wise birds, they instinctively
seek ledges where enough warm air filters
out to keep their legs from freezing.
* r X
The Government seems to have plenty
of money to throw around.
Nicely constructed starting roosts, To-
Gated in nearby meadow, would soon
be found by the birds
Only few thousands, not millions, of
dollars would be necessary; the Govern
ment could use some of its newly made
electricity to heat them.
The District of Columbia would soon
have the greatest startling roosts in the
world, and its public buildings would be
unmolested.
Authorities have treated the starlings
gently, because there is law against
harming songbirds.
And starlings, of course. are songbirds,
both actually and scientifically.
Not only do the muscles of the throat
put them we'll within the scientific clas-
sification, but their actual cries and
chirps are as song-like as you please.
Provided, that is, one listens with un-
prejudiced ears.
No music can be heard properly if the
ears are merely instruments of mind
which hates. or which simply will not
allow them to listen honestly.

The English, who know the startling
best, regard it as one of the sweetest of
all singers.
In this country the propaganda against
the bird has blinded all except honest
listeners.
The latter know that few birds can
give such pleasing concerts with such
small resources. For. being members of
the crow family, they have no such mel
odies as the wood thrush, or such dulcet
tones as belong to Gagged canaries.
They do, however, possess a sweetness

Reich would come near to being self
contained, alike for purposes of war and
peace.
Thus caparisoned-and in alliance with
the two other have-not empires of Italy
and Japan-the Nazis might even extend
the scope of their ambitions for power
and territory to the colonies of Africa of
which Germany was despoiled, with
neighbcring British and French possess
sions for good measure, as punitive bo-
muses.. Even the Western Hemisphere
cannot be left out of any account of Ger
man longings for more room in the sun.
Hitler has just seen that no power or
combination of powers in Europe dares
say him nay. Why should he not in
the spirit of militant megalomania in
which this hour must find him, proclaim,
with the Falstaffian henchman in The
Merry Wives of Windsor that
