Bond Of Dairy Reduced
In Milk Marketing Case

The bond which Holbrook Farms
Dairy Of Brentwood, Md, is required
TO put up in District Court in it's
fight on the Governments milk
marketing order for this area. was
cut today from $4,000 to $4,000,
under an order filed by Justice
Bolitha j. Laws.
The jurist found that if the Gov
ernnrent prevails on final hearing
of the case, the amount the dairy
will be compelled to pay, plus adj
ministrative charges, will amount to
about $3,700 a month for July,
August and SEPTEMBER total of
s11,100. The order of Justice Laws
directed the dairy to deposit in the
registry of the court $4,000 by
August and in each of the follow
ing months. by the 18th of each
month. like sum or it may file
bond for $4,000
Previously, Justice Laws had
ordered the dairy to put up a $4,000
bond, pending the outcome of the
litigation. But recent negotiations
between Attorneys Seton Darr, Lin
wood E. Lagerson and James Cd.
Moran, representing the dairy, and
Special Assistants to Attorney Gen.
eral Robert H. Jackson, Edward
Knuff and John S. L. Yost, on behalf
of Secretary Wallace, made Justice
Laws latest order possible.
The case is now expected to be
heard finally early in October, when
District Court convenes after the
summer recess. The fight against
the marketing order is based on the
contention that the dairy is not
engaged in interstate commerce.

Violence Threatened
In Brickyard Strike;
Deadlock Continues
Police Stop Efforts
To Hold Up Trucks;
Picket Lines Planned

An outbreak, of violence was
threatened today in the three-day-
old strike of 400 brick company
employees as Government concili-
ators continued efforts to settle the
dispute before the trouble spreads
to important national defense
building projects.
Police mingled with strikers and
pickets at the United Clay Prod
ucts Corp. yard at Bladensburg road
and New York avenue NE, where
one man welding a heavy stick ad-
vanced on a truck moving bricks
from the yard this morning.
Released by Police.
The truck cab was dented slightly
by blows from the cudgel, but the
driver, who kept his truck moving,
was not hurt. Police grabbed one
of the men, but released him after
others protested he had not welded
the club.
Pickets said about Is loads of
bricks had left the yard this morn
ing Plant officials declined to COM
ment on movement of the trucks.
Many of the loaded vehicles were
escorted over the dirt roadway from
the plant to Bladensburg road by a
police squad car.
Larry Kelly, representative of
the laborers' union, said today the
union is ready to arbitrate but that
the employers have declined to ac-
cept this procedure of settlement.
Equal Basis Demanded.
An official of one of the brick
concerns said that since some of
the companies pay higher wages
than others they consider the
unions blanket demand for pay in
creases in all companies unreason-
able. There can be no arbitration
until all companies have been put
on an equal basis" he added.
Bricklaying at many Government
and private construction projects in
the city has been held up by the
strike, and union leaders have
threatened to establish picket lines
at major national defense construc-
ton projects unless a settlement is
reached by Tuesday. The teamsters'
local union has joined the laborers
in picketing some of the brick
concerns.

resentatives from the tax, finance

program here. From one source, he
declared, he learned the. present

Ing sufficient funds to finance the
highway program. But from an
other quarter, he said, comes q
complaint that the Highway De-
partment of the District needs more
funds, and that a 1-cent increase
in the gasoline tax would provide
the necessary money.
Full Hearing Planned.
Representative Poage explained
that 1t is his intention to give every
person interested in the gasoline
tax subject an opportunity to be
heard at the public hearings to be
held by the committee, but added:
Unless a prima facie case is
built up in support Of the bill there
will be no use listening to the op-
position. I am not going to support
the measure If 1t is shown there Is
no need for an increase In the gas

Montgomery County
New Buildings Gain
3 Per Cent in July
Largest TotoI for
Construction Work
Shown in 1910

D.. "A gain OF approximately .one-third
was shown in the building permits
issued iii Montgomery County last
month as compared with June, 1910,
and July. 1889.
The marked increase. revealed in
the report of j. S. Eaton, chief
county building inspector, is the
largest total for construction work
for any month. so far this year in
either the Bethesda Chevy Chase or
the Silver Spring areas.
1t is made up almost entirely Of
single family dwellings.
The permits range from moder-
ate-priced homes to palatial resi-
dence on River road. estimated to
cost approximately $4,000. Among
the non-residential projects was one
for an addition to the Landon
School, at Wilson lane and Bradley
boulevard. which will cost $40, 1000.
New Restaurant.
Not included in the total was
100000 Hot Shoppe Restaurant at
Wisconsin avenue and East-West
highway. The preliminary work of
grading has been started, but final
approval of plans has not been
granted. The restaurant building
will cost $55.000, and paving and
parking facilities for about 200 cars
are estimated at S45,000. 1t is ex-
pected to open about September /.
The building permit issued last
month in the western suburban dis
trict totaled approximately s860,000
as compared with s495,O0 in June
and 1854 900 in July, 1899, Mr.. Eaton
announced. Permits in the eastern
suburban area of the county last
month amounted to 1908 900, as COM
pared with S504,000 in June and
s5l3,000 in July, 1899.
Total Is S1,763,000.
The totals of the permits for the
entire metropolitan area show ST.
763, 900 for last month, as compared
with $999 900 in June and 81 ,067 900
in July, 1899.
Mr.. Eaton could offer no reason
for the unprecedented increase, eX-
cept that home owners are finding
suburban Montgomery County at
tractive. He pointed out that the
few large construction projects are
included in the totals and that most
of the permits were issued for homes
in the middle-price range, from
5000 to 5000.
Government construction projects
such as the Naval Hospital are
not included in county totals, be-
cause no county permit is required
on Government work. Some of the
new construction, however, is the
result of location of the hospital
and the United States Public Health
Service research station on Wiscon-
sin avenue, he said.
The major portion of the con-
struction, he pointed out, is in real
estate developments in all parts of
the metropolitan area.
