As Negotiations Fail
BY the Associated Press.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Aug. s.
Pickets paced before the gates Of
the Celanese Corp. of America plant
today but there were no disorders at
the huge factory left idle yesterday
when a strike cell by Local 1874 Of
the Textile Workers Union took an
estimated 5000 workers from their
jobs.
There were no signs today OF a
resumption Of negotiations which
broke down after months Of efforts
to form a new contract.
Plant officials issued no statement.
The union Executive Committee
met today, but made no public re-
port on its discussion.
Federal conciliators were called in
when a strike was called at the
plant in 1886, and there were I'M
verified reports that Federal Off
Gals would be asked to mediate the
current deadlock.
The plant, where artificial silk is
made, is the largest in Cumberland,
industrial center of western Mary
land. 1t has been running at capa-
city since Autumn.
The old contract expired in AL
gust. but workers have continued
under its terms pending negotia-
tons for new one.

by Col John w. Oehmann, inspec-
tor of buildings, and sent to various

Col Oehmann said he believed the

mo changes have been made except

ton practices"
A limited number of copies Of the
rather huge document were pre-
pared. Comments were asked from
spokesman for the Washington Real
Estate Board, the Master Builders
Association and the Washington
Building Congress. He asked prompt
action be taken so the proposed new
code might be adopted and printed

The code was revised in 1925 and

Goes 10 White House
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The House completed congressional
action yesterday on legislation per-
hitting the sale of Government-held
cotton and other agricultural COM
modities to foreign nations at less
than world market prices.
Acceptance of a Senate amend
ment to the bill was among the
chambers last acts before it ad-
journed. The amendment, by SEN
ator George, Democrat, of Georgia,
limits the total amount of cotton
to be disposed of under the meas
ure's terms to 100000 bales and
requires that payment be made by
the foreign governments within 60
days after delivery.
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, OF
South Carolina, said the legislat ton,
which now goes to the White House
for President Roosevelt's signature,
would clear the way for disposal of
approximately 175,000 bales of the
II ,000, 000-bale surplus of stored cot
ton to France and Switzerland for
about So bale less than the pre-
vailing world price.
Already on the Presidents desk
awaiting signature is another bill
making possible the barter of $780,
600 bales of Government-held cotton
for English rubber.

SchuIte's Milk Plea
Facing Rejection by
Commissioners
No justification Seen
For Opening District
Milk Market

Rejection Of the plea by Repre-
sentative Schultz. Democrat, Of In
diana, that the Commissioners de-
clare that an "emergency' exists
and open the doors to importation
of milk from Jurisdictions beyond
the restricted local milkshed. was
forecast yesterday at the District
Building.
Commissioners Hazen and Nc
Coach both declared they did not
believe the Board of Commission
ers could take the suggested action
in the long controversy over pres
ent District milk regulations.
Mr.. Schultz had urged the Com
missioners to act in what he termed
a move to destroy the monopoly
he has charged is in control of the
District milk supply, and thereby
to pave the way for reduction
In retail milk prices.
While not discussing these points.
Commissioner HaZen said he did
not believe the Commissioners could
find justification for the declaring
of an emergency" He added that
the question of whether District
milk regulations we're too restrictive
had been placed before Congress and
that, therefore, he felt it would not
be proper for the Commissioners to
attempt to solve the problem during
adjournment.
A similar view was voiced by Col
McCoach. Commissioner George E
Allen, to whom Mr.. Schultz sent his
proposal, withheld comment.

District Prepared
To Mail Out Bills
To Taxpayers
Owners Asked to Send
Addresses and List
Real Estate Holdings

All real estate tax bills from the
District government will be mailed
out to taxpayers this year and in the
future, if they will cooperate
promptly with officials in the COM
pilation of mailing list, Tax As
SCISSOR Fred D. Allen announced
yesterday.
Heretofore, real estate bills have
been mailed only to those who re-
quested them and provided stamped,
addressed envelopes. The assessor
was provided funds in the new ap-
preparation act for postage for the
service, but complete mailing list
of the $4,000 realty tax payers of
last year IS not made up.
Will Be Mailed Promptly.
For this reason, Mr.. Allen re-
quested that all owners of real
estate in the District promptly send
to the assessors Office their names,
addresses and a list OF the prop
critics they own. The realty bills
now are being prepared and will
be mailed out as fast as the taxpay-
ers request them. Personal prop
erty tax bills also will be mailed
out, as in the past.
The total realty tax for the new
fiscal year is expected to exceed the
$40 1886 900 levy of the past year, but
Mr.. Allen said his office as yet has
not had time to make a tabulation
of either the bills or the assessment.
The first half payment is due in
September and the second half next
March. Mr. Allen emphasized that
if taxpayer does not receive his
bills through the mail this will in no
wise excuse him for non-payment.

A proposal to add to its staff q

ployes at its annual convention in
Atlantic City next month, it was
learned yesterday
Charles I. Stengle, retiring presi-
dent of the A. F. g. E., who for the
past three years has fought it's bat
ties before congressional committees
in addition to carrying on his execu.
tive duties, said he would recon-
mend creation of the new position.
1T is too big a load for one man

Not Seeking Reelection.
Mr.. Stengle has announced that
he will not be a candidate for re-
election as president at the Atlantic

ever, that he would be willing to con-
tinue working for the federation as
legislative representative if conven-
ton action was favorable. Its en-
tirely up to the convention" he en-
phasized.
He pointed out that the interests

some one to present their case when

measures affecting employees are con-
sidered by congressional committees,
as we'll as constant contact" work

gress.
Expansion of the A. F. G. E. dur
ing the last few years to a present
total of 610 lodges throughout the
country has multiplied the executive
duties of the presidents Office until
it is impossible for one man to fulfill
them properly and carry on the leg
islative work at the same time" Mr..
Stengle said.
| Custer Gains Support.
Following Mr.. Stengle's announce
ment last month that he would not
be candidate for president of the
federation again, Cecil E. Custer,
present A. F. G. E. treasurer and
assistant budget officer of the Civil
Service Commission, has gained
wide support among District lodges
for elevation to the presidency.
A brisk election contest is in pros
pect, with strong field support re-
ported for James A. Campbell OF

and Henry c. Tier, a national organ
izer, whose headquarters are here.
Mr.. Stengle is completing prelim-

convention, which will open at At
