First of all we want to start off by
saying that if you want to spend a
most enjoyable evening, not by visiting
the taverns around town, but by some
thing little different, visit the Esplan-
AIDE and listen to the lovely concert
directed by Arthur Fielder and if you
don't enjoy his music send in a letter
to Brenda or Cobina stating why, and
if you really have an appreciation for
music you certainly will enjoy the at

The Foe Within

In orr battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for a mess Of pot
tage. In myraids Of instances they
have already done so. Many Of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their pernicious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights in
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
most eold-blooded outspoken enemy
is far less dangerous than the vile,
crafty, sinking, snake-like burrow-
ing foe within

Case 48.

AS you enter a small two-room
apartment in one of the crowded
rooming houses in Washington, you
would not suspect that there is a
mother and eight small children,
ranging in ages from 10 months old
to years, living there. After you
notice that one small room is crowd
ed with three double beds, where the
family sleeps in single file across
them, you wonder where the chill
dren have a chance to play. They
play in the street or play tag around
their mother, who does all of her
household duties in the other small
room. AS she has no place to store
coal other than in the kitchen, you
will find that not only does she cook,
wash, iron, etc, in the kitchen, but
stores food and fuel there, too.
At the present time the father of
the eight children is serving a jail
sentence of one year because he will
not support his family.
The mother now receives a check
every two weeks of 5000 Fifteen
dollars a month is used for rent and
the rest for food. The remaining
S43.40 allows SLAB day for food
for eight hungry children and the
mother.

infant.

time, it is hard going. The greatest
immediate distress is lack of shoes
and warm underwear for the chill

persons sleep, cook and eat in this
one room.
Mr.. T. helps with the children, and
when his wife is sick, cooks the food
and does the housework. Their one
room is clean and the children are
neat. Mrs. T. sees that they are

Fire al Shoreham Hotel
Routs Several Guests

A fire in an apartment at the
Shoreham Hotel at dinner time last
night routed several guests from
their rooms and did damage esti-
mated today at $500.
The blaze originated in a room
in an apartment occupied by Philip
Kaufman, former executive of The
Star. Mr.. Kaufman was alone in
the apartment when the fire broke
out.
The alarm was turned in at 6:10
pm. and f1remen remained at the
scene for an hour. Furniture in the
room was destroyed and residents
of other apartments on the floor
were forced to flee.
During the early morning hours,
18 residents of a rooming house at
416 Sixth street NV. were driven
to the street by a fire which wrecked
the second and third stories of the
building.
The fire was discovered about
am. and firemen fought for an hour
to bring it under control. All Of
the roomers escaped without injury.

Labor Boards Power
10 Force Signature
Argued in High Court
Heinz Company Contends
Posting of Agreement
Meets Provisions of Law

Argument on the test of the Labor
Boards power to require an en-
ployer to sign an agreement reached
with a union was winding up in the
Supreme Court today, with Charles
Fahy, former general counsel for the
board and now assistant solicitor
general, presenting the Government
viewpoint.
Raised by the H. j. Heinz Co. of
Pittsburgh, the issue came before the
court yesterday when Earl F. Reed,
counsel for the company, contended
that the board lacked authority to
force the company to sign an agree
ment with the local union of Cam
ming and Pickle Workers, an A. F.
of L. affiliate.
The board holds that refusal to
embody any agreed terms in signed
agreement constitutes a refusal to
bargain" in violation of the Wagner
Act. This ruling was upheld in the
Sixth Federal Circuit Court and
Heinz appealed.
"The board" Mr.. Reed said, "has
arrogated to itself the power to
question the employers good faith
because the board does not like the
form and shape of the final contract
or the manner in which it was
reached"
He said the company did not want
to sign any agreement for definite
term because this always has caused
recurring labor troubles" upon ex-
piration of the specified term. He
added that the firm considered that
an agreement had been reached with
the union when bulletins were posted
setting forth the terms of wage in
creases, shorter hours, adjustment
of grievances, vacations with pay
and other matters.
