Pittsburgh Faces Week. End
With No Sunday Editions.
Negotiations Stalled.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, June ia strike
OF business office workers brought to
half million subscribers In this dis
trict today the prospect Of a week
end without Sunday editions OF Pitts
burgh newspapers.
The city's afternoon papers, the
Sun-Telegraph tHearst) and the
Press (Scripps- Howard), publishers
also Of the citys only Sunday editions,
suspended publication yesterday after
mechanical department employees re-
fused to pass through picket lines
formed by the office workers
Both the mechanical and Office
workers unions are afiiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. The
Post Gazette paul Block, Pitts
purgh's only morning paper, was un-
affected by the strike.
The strike was called after collapse
OF negotiations for renewal of a wage
contract. The union demanded q
closed shop, pay increases and i'm
proved working conditions.
AN Po~AAoASIo lIl q JOlllt statement
said fewer than 400 clerks and tele-
phone operations had joined the walk
out and that they had offered pay in
creases for office workers earning less
than $45 q week and a minimum wage
rate "f1igher than those prevailing" in
the city, but refused the demand for
the closed shop.
The union spokesman declared the
terms of the publishers final proposal
could not be accepted because they
were debasive of every basic principle
OF trade unions and could
operate only to the ultimate destruc-
ton of the union"
Approximately 1000 employees were
notified their services were mo longer
required and that their pay had
ceased for the duration Of the strike.

loan under the terms Of the Capper-
Cramton Act for the purchase of park
lands in Prince Georges County along
the valleys Of the Eastern, Northwest

In letter to r. 8. Settle, secretary
Of the National Capital Park and

Palmer, president Of the Maryland

100000 for eight years without in
terest, as provided by the act. stating
that his commission had been as
sured that the Board Of Commission
ers Of Prince George County would
pass the necessary resolution joining
in the request.
Reawakened interest in the park

sentiment will support development Of

said: However, the loan and grant
will be used for park purposes for the
benefit Of taxpayers generally rather

ment today said:
While the commission Is entirely
sympathetic with the effort to control

ley, and desires to fully cooperate
with all Of the agencies engaged in
securing a solution Of the hood-control
problem, it nevertheless feels that in
the disposition Of any funds allotted
to 1t for the purchase of park land It
should have in mind the acquisition Of

LYNCH BILL FOE
HITS D. c. CRIME
McKeIIar Contends Capital
Offers Example of Fed
eraI Jurisdiction.

The Senate was urged yesterday by
Senator McKellar, Democrat, Of Ten
nessee to lay aside the anti-lynching
bill and consider measures to reduce
crime In Washington.
It was the second time opponents OF
the anti-lynching bill have made the
argument that the Federal Govern
ment is unable to cope with crime in
the District of Columbia, where it has
full jurisdiction, and, therefore, should
not be given control over the offense
Of lynching in the States.
Senator McKellar centered his re-
marks around the wave of hold-ups
that kept District police on the move
Wednesday night. After reading news
paper accounts which described the
men sought for the hold-ups as hav-
ing shown signs of intoxication, Mr..
McKellar said:
Here were two bandits, too drunk
to walk and all the police We've got
In the city were unable to catch them.
One constable down in Texas would
have had them in 10 minutes"
III it takes a conference Of all po-
lice heads to catch two drunken ban
dts, how long would it take to catch
three or four men, or mob, in con-
nection with lynching?" the Ten
nessean continued.
Senator Mcclellan declared the Sem
ate should not take up nearly month
OF its time with the subject of lynch
ing, which he called the 'rarest Of
crimes" while hold-ups and gangster
crimes are all around us under Fed
eral control"
1T We want to get rid of crime we
ought to start here at the home of the
Government" said the Tennessean.
''Why don't we adopt measures that
will do away with crime here, where
We have constitutional authority?"
Senator Mcclellan, who is on the
Appropriations Committee, said it may
be the Police Department here needs
more men, but that he did not have
al the facts on that request yet.

holdups.
The brothers had not yet been
charged today. Inspector Thompson
indicated Miss O'Brien would face no
charges and might be turned over to
her parents later She was held at the
Womens Bureau.
The hold-up foray Wednesday night
started when bandits appeared at
Brickerd's filling, station. It ended
less than an hour later when the pair
shot at Abraham Butts, proprietor Of
grocery store at 831 Sixth street S.W.,
and ran away without taking any
thing.
Amazement was expressed by police
at the bandits daring in holding up
two stores in the same block of D
street S. E., one right after the other
Inspector Thompson said Ellsworth
admitted firing the shots and said:
I only wanted to scare him, but I
think l was as scared as he was"
The brothers exchanged wisecracks
with police while they were questioned.
The girl told police the hold-up
spree started soon after Ellsworth's
visit to a liquor store, where he Sc
cured supply of whisky.
Four of the detectives who helped
arrest the trio last night had been in
1ured earlier in the day when a police
cruiser, answering a call which re-
ported a holdup was under way at
Twenty-second street and Virginia
avenue NV, collided with an automo-
bile at Tenth street and Constitution
| avenue.
They were Detectives ITolson, Bar
rett, Scott and Guest. Three of them
entered cab after the accident and
continued to Twenty-second street
and Virginia avenue NV, where they
arrested two men seated in a car.
They found a secret compartment in
the machine.

IN WASHINGTON
By BOB MERKLEY

Some people would like the life
of a Oman. He is famed for his
prowling in the byways of crime
where, in bullet-proof vest, he
swaps blows with denizens of the
underworld. Still others dream of
the power and prestige of Con
gressman. To him go the ko-tows
and the headlines. Yet, Of all the
Jobs Uncle Sam has to offer, there
is none more lavishly stocked with
attraction than the Foreign Serv-
ice
The Department Of State says
that the efficient Foreign Service
officer creates good will and COM
mon understanding and uses
J these as instruments for enhanc-
ing international confidence and co
operation among governments and
people, That should satisfy any
/ desire for a mission.
He "adapts himself, his conduct,
and his mode of living appropriately
to climate and surroundings in the
country to which he is assigned"
It would be dull soul that could
find no romance in those orders.
In the line of duty he promotes
and protects the interests of the
United States and it's citizens" He
also 'negotiates . protocols, con-
yentions, and treaties, especially re-
garding international intercourse,
tariffs, shipping, commerce, preser-
yation of peace, etc. :" What a
| bolster that could be to a mans
idea of his own Importance.
The duties of an officer in the
Foreign Service could never degen-
crate into dull routine. His job
is to mingle with the most import

,e is sent. There are no dul!ardS
among important people When they
become dull, their Importance ends.
Salaries in the Foreign Service
range from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
Travelling and some living expenses
abroad are paid by the Govern
ment. The officer is assured of just
about every material thing that
humans have learned to need.
He knows the ways of the un-
derworld, for learning of smugglers
is one of his duties. He even grabs
an occasional headline or makes
the newsreels. And yet, in the
world of affairs the Foreign Serv-
