Belief Unidentified
Man Was Murdered
Police Appeal to
Public to Help Leorn
Victims Identity

An autopsy today on the body OF
middle-aged man found in The
Potomac at Marshall Hall. Nd,
supported the murder theory as
Maryland authorities appealed to
the public to help identify the man
before he receives potter's field
burial in the next "a hours.
DR.. j. Howard Maldeis of Balti-
more, State coroner, said the autopsy
disclosed the marks Of repeated
blows by some weapon. perhaps
club. on the front, back and sides
of the mans head. The skull, how
ever, had not been fractured.
The autopsy was In progress to-
day at Hunt e. Ryon funeral parlors
at Waldorf, Md. DR.. Maldeis, aided
by DR.. James L. McKavanagh,
Charles County coroner, was seek
ing to establish the cause Of death.
The investigators are convinced
the man was murdered. He was
we'll dressed and had the appear
ance Of man of some distinction.
Markings Gone.
Sheriff Robert v. Cooksey of
Charles County asked that news
papers and radio stations broadcast
immediate appeals to the public for
information of missing persons an
swering the same general descrip-
ton.
The man was toothless when
found. 1t could not be determined
II he had used false teeth. The up
per vest pockets were carefully closed
with safety pins, although both were
empty. His three-piece gray suit
with a blue check was well tailored.
Identification marks apparently
had been removed from the clothing.
A straw hat, purchased in Alexan-
dria, and eyeglasses manufactured in
Baltimore were possible identiflca-
ton clues which led to nothing def
mite. investigators said.
simultaneously with the start of
the autopsy, agents at headquarters
of the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton began a check Of fingerprint
files in an attempt to identify the
man. His prints were forwarded to
Washington late yesterday.
Mans Watch Running.
Sheriff Cooksey pointed to the
fact that the mans watch was
running to confirm his theory that
the body had been in the water a
short time, possibly less than an
hour, when discovered.
The man, about so years old, was
feet inches tall, weighed 1870
pounds and wore three-piece gray
suit with blue check, a gray shirt
with maroon check, plaid tie, sus-

Al 6. W. u. Is Denied

Prof. Dewitt Bennett, chairman
of the Student Life Committee at
George Washington University, de-
MED today that any question of
censorship is involved in the COM
mittee's decision to reorganize the
school paper, the Hatchet, and not
to confirm Frank F. Burnet as ed
itor of the publication for the COM
ing term.
Mr.. Burnet, q, an employe of the
Farm Credit Administration, has
insisted the faculty plans to censor
the paper and that the issue of
"free press" has been raised.
Prof. Bennett said, There is GER
tainly no faculty censorship of the
paper under consideration. Mr..
Burnet was nominated by the Stu
dent Editorial Board to take office
in September. The, nomination,
however, was not approved and no
other editor will be named until
plans are completed for an entirely
new set-up on the Hatchet.

MARATIME COMMISSION
AWARDS LONGEVITY PAY
Length Of Service Bonuses Are Grant
ed Seamen on Government Ships

Washington, D. C. (AFLWNS).-
Special compensation in the form of
longevity pay" was recently received
by 159 officers and men on nine gov
ernment vessels completing foreign
voyages in the month of June, accord
ing to a report of the United States
Maritime Commission.
The extra pay ranges at present
from 3 to 6 per cent of the base pay,
computed on the length of service on
a government ship. More than so per
cent of the licensed personnel re-
ceived it, and "a per cent of the unli-
censed men.
Longevity pay, designed to encour-
age continuous service at sea and
provide greater security for maritime
labor, begins after year of service
on the same ship. The recipient then
gets a bonus of 8 per cent each pay
day. At the end of two years the
bonus increases to per cent. In the
future, after three years service, the
extra pay will become 10 per cent.
Under the commissions basic scale,
an able seaman receives a minimum
of S72.5O a month. There is a mini
mum stipulation of $190 month for
chief mates and first assistant en-
gineers. On the nine vessels covered
in the report, there were fifty-eight
requirements during June out of a
total of 331 officers and men.

w. P. A. Federal Theuter
Ended: 1000 Dismissed

New York, n. Y. (AFLWNS).-The
WPA Federal Theatre, after an ex-
istence of more than five years, as a
means of aiding needed performers,
stage hands and other stage workers,
came to an end here few weeks ago
with the dismissal of the last 300 su-
pervisory workers and an announce
ment that the project had been offci-
ally liquidated. WPA officials stated
that approximately 1000 workers will
continue on the payroll through Sep
tember, but they will merely receive
their checks at home and will not be
expected to report for work.
The liquidation Of the WPA Fed
eral Theatre was decreed by the
Work Relief Appropriation Bill re-
Gently enacted by Congress. The Fed
eral Theatre was started in 1884 as
$4,000 project in New York City
under the old Civil Works Admins
tration and grew to S7,00O,OOO prof.
ect under the WPA. In twenty States
government officials are closing the
Offices of the Federal Theatre and
moving furniture to warehouses.

Every purchase, regardless of how
small it is, is another stone in paved
road to improved American standards
and permanent prosperity.
The best way to put money into
your own pay envelope is to insist on
the Union Label every time you take
anything out of it. Be consistent! If
you desire Union rates of. pay then
you must demand products that are
made by workers who receive Union
wages. Teamwork requires that the
collective buying horse pulls equally
with his collective bargaining mate
Labor Union movement!
Among members of Labor Unions
and their families there are none who
do not buy some Union Label goods
and very small proportion who do
not demand the Union Label on every
thing that he buys. This fact is proven
by everyone in attendance at Union
meetings who can make 1000 Union
Label display on articles of clothing
and on the pack of cigarettes that he
carries. These members of Labor
Unions not only condemn unfair shops
on meeting night but they also pat
ronize fair firms every day in the year.

Des Moines Judge Hits
Union With Injunction

Des Moines, Iowa (AFLWNS).-
The alleged use of coercive methods by
Truck Drivers Local No 80 against
employees, officers and patrons, of the
oil stations operated in Des Moines
by l.. l.. Coryell & Son, Inc, was
cited by District Judge John j. Hal
loran as the basic reason for issuing
an injunction prohibiting "illegal"
picketing of the firms station by the
union.
For the operation of legal picketing
Judge Halloran permitted the union to
maintain four pickets at one of the
Coryell stations and two pickets at a
second station during the continuance
of the strike. He also permitted the
pickets to carry signs stating that
the station is unfair" to organized
labor, but stipulated that the pickets
must not interfere with either patrons
or employees "either by word or mouth
or physical manifestation"
In connection with issuing the in
junction order of Judge Halloran criti-
cized the low wages and long hours
imposed by the Coryell Co. upon it's
employees. He said they were "such
as to invite trouble" AS illustrations
of this he pointed out that the opera
tor of one of the Coryell stations
worked 102 hours week for $75 a
month and must pay the company $40
a month out of his salary for living
expenses in the station. In addition,
amounts for shortages or "shrinkage"
in the gasoline handled were deducted
from his pay.
At another of the Coryell stations,
Judge Halloran said the operator is
paid only $79 month for working
65 hours a week-10 hours day for
six days and five hours for one day.

ACTORS DEFY A. F. L. IN
UNION PEACE ROW

Atlantic City, N. j. 0LNS).-Pros-
poets of open union warfare in the
amusement industry looms increasing
ly stronger as result of the refusal
of the Associated Actors and Artists
Of America, the A. F. of L. parent of
actor unions, to accept in full the rec
concentrations Of the Executive Coun-
Gil of the A. F. of l..
The Four AS row with the Inter-
national Association of Theatrical
Stage Employees, the Stagehands
Union, which has drawn nationwide
attention, was precipitated by the
Stagehands union action in issuing a
charter to a group of actors and
actresses known as the American
Federation of Actors, a group which
the AAAA had previously expelled.
The recommendation of the A. F.
of l.. Executive Council which were
only partially acceptable to the four
A's, despite warning from William
Green, President of the A. F. of L.,
that it would have to accept them in
full, or the case would be reopened,
puts the entire argument right back
where it was when the Executive
Council first considered it.

But tomorrow, their studies

Bringing books home each night,
And the grades they will bring home
You wonder with fright.
If they ever will get
To the next grade or not,
And here they are playing
And their homework forgot.
But don't you worry,
They'll have it tomorrow.
Because mothers help,
They'll be sure to borrow.

division of labor statistics, in compil-
ing statistics for publication of Union

Unemployment Benefit
Rule Changed In Iowa
Voluntary Job Cutters Are Subject
To disqualification For
Compensation

Des Moines, Iowa (AFLWNS) -
Drastic restrictions on the right of
jobless workers. to receive compensa-
tion for unemployment were enact
ed by the recent session Of the Gen
eral Assembly of Iowa in amendments
made to the State unemployment com
pensation law.
The deep interest of Iowa workers
in these amendments is evident. There
are 325,O00 employees working for
1000 employers covered by the law.
During 1888 the unemployment COM
pensation tax amounted to $7,800,OOO.
In less than one year since benefits
were first paid, July rs, 1888, more
than $6,500,000 was disbursed to un-
employed workers in weekly benefits.
One of the amendments adds new
restrictions to compensation paid
workers who leave their jobs volun-
tarily. In statement explaining this
amendment the Iowa Unemployment
Compensation Commission said:
"The law prior to the enactment of
Senate File 101 provided that an in
dividual shall be disqualified for ben
efits for the week in which he left
work voluntarily without good cause; (;
and for not less than one nor more
than five weeks Immediately follow
ing the week of separation.
"This meant that an individual
could quit his job, wait five weeks,
file claim for benefits, then be eli
gible to draw benefits to which he
was entitled, although he had refused
to continue on his regular job.
Senate File 1O1 changed this to
read as follows: An individual shall
be disqualified for benefits if he left
his work voluntarily without good
cause, attributable to his employer,
if so found by the commission
"This change in the law will place
in the hands of the commission. the
authority to determine when an in
dividual quits without cause.
"When the provisions of Senate File
1O1 became effective, and the COM
mission finds an individual has quit
his job without good cause, attribu-
table to the employer, he shall be de-
MED benefits until he goes out into the
labor market and establishes himself
as an employe and is again separated
from a job through no fault of his
own.
"While the wording of the new sec
tion seems. harsh, it is the intention
of the commission to interpret and to
administer the act fairly, as between
the worker and the employer, in order
that complete justice may be done
and the spirit of the new law is fully
carried out"

Porfly Employed
Workers Entitled
To Compensation
Illinois Workers. Employed
Less Thdn Full Time.
Eligible

Springfield, Ill. S. r. Wanna
maugher, manager of Illinois State
Employment Service office here, de-
clared in statement that workers
may draw unemployment compensa-
tion even if they are not totally un-
employed.
Workers who are employed less
than full time and earning less than
70 per cent of the ordinary weekly
wage and less than SIG are entitled
to compensation for partial unemploy-
ment, Mr.. Wannamaugher said. This
partial compensation amounts to the
difference between their actual earn
ings, less 81, and the compensation
to which they would be entitled if to-
tally unemployed.
If worker who usually earns $40
week has his income reduced to $40
because Of shortened hours of work,
he may be able to draw as much as
So week compensation for partial
unemployment. This would bring his
total income to SIG. If he became
totally unemployed such a workers
benefits usually would be about S14 a
week.
Mr.. Wannamargher said only a
comparatively small number of par
TALLY unemployed workers had ap-
piled for benefits at his office. This
is undoubtedly the result of lack of
information by partly unemployed
workers that they are entitled to un-
employment compensation.
