AFL Organizes
$4,000 Ford
Workers

Washington, D. C.-Culmin-
ating a long but quietly conduct
ed organizing campaign, the
American Federation of Labor
announced that a majority of
the production workers at the
Lincoln and River Rouge plants
of the Ford Motor Company
have been organized into two
Federal labor unions chartered
by the A. F. of L. About 3d.
900 workers are employed in the
two plants.
In a statement announcing the
chartering of the two local
unions, President William Green
made it clear that it is not the
purpose of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor to destroy the
Ford Motor Company but to CO.
operate, if possible, with the
management through the pro-
cesses of collective bargaining.
"The next step to be taken" !"
Mr.. Green said, Twill be to es-
tablish collective bargaining and
the recognition of these Amer
ican Federation of Labor unions
as collective bargaining agen-
cies, in conformity with the pro-
visions of the National Labor
Relations Act, for the employees
at the Lincoln plant and the
Rouge River plant of the Ford
Motor Company.

AFL Unit Limits
Initiation Fees

John P. Coyne, president of
the Building and Construction
Trades Department of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, an
nounced that the building unions
have fixed initiation fees which
must not be exceeded by any To-
cal union. Some locals of the
United Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters and Joiners, for example,
he said, which have charged
more than $500, now will have
maximum fee of $50.
The International Hod Car
riers, Building and Common Lab
orers Union, he said, now will
charge a maximum of $25, but
the minimum will be $3.50 or
less. Similarly, he added, the
Hosting Engineers, Bricklayers
and other unions have fixed
maximum fees.
Mr.. Coyne pointed out that
another union concession was
the voluntary REIMBURSEMENT of
overtime rates in localities
where building trades unions, by
agreements, worked a six-hour
day. In these cases, he said,
overtime rates would begin after
40 hours of work instead of SO.
These concessions will not affect
private industry, but a defense
project is defined by the unions
as including any plant expansion
by private industry financed
partly or wholly by government
funds.
when the defense program
began there was talk of lab
or shortage" he said. "A sur
vey through our 312 local coun-
ellis revealed that 100000 of our
men were idle and available for
defense work.
"The Army and Navy certified
! their needs to us and we sup
piled their wants. We sent
skilled mechanics half way
across the continent without
charge to work on government
projects.
"We sent $4,000 skilled men
to work at the Camp Blanding,
Fla, Naval training base when
you could not find but hand
full of skilled men in that vicin-
ity.
"We sent $4,000 skilled men
to work on the Corpus Christi
Naval training base from all
over the country when you could
not find 200 skilled mechanics
within several hundred miles of
the project. This was without
charge to the Government.
"We took 375,000 men and
made transient workers of them.
Now the peak of the cantonment
work is passed. That was a
ninety-day job. By February or
March 375,000 of our men will
again be idle, but we hope many
will be used on the next phase
of the defense program, the ex-
pansion of manufacturing and
industrial plants"
Mr.. Coyne estimated that at
least rs per cent of defense con-
struction had been done by A. F.
of L. members.

Department announced after
completing a nationwide survey.

Another device is the "Sig-
nalyst" which is the most mod
ern signal generator available
to the service man. The purpose
is to generate signals aiding in
the adjustments of radios.
Then there is the "Volt
Ohmyst" used for measuring
voltages in radios without dis
turbing their operation.
The foregoing instruments and
many more comprise the costly
devices which the successful ra-
dio service man must have.
There are radio tube checkers,
condenser testers and other ma
chimes to aid in ferreting out
radio troubles that plague the
average fan.
One of the biggest troubles a
radio service man has and the
one which bothers the radio fan
the most, is that of loose con-
nections, said Mr.. Mcconnell.
They may be handy to get at and
Immediately discernable, or it
might be necessary to literally
dismantle the receiver to get
at them.
Besides the countless radio
"bugs" which he is able to fer
ret out Mr.. Mcconnell also is
no slouch at metal working. He
just recently purchased new
South Bend lathe, and turns out
many small repair parts to be
used in service work as well as
other useful and ornamental
gadgets.
He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. C. Mcconnell, and lives with
them at II Shields street. Is 80
years old and when asked about
getting married he replied,
"Maybe some day. I've been
too busy to think much about
that"

Child Labor

Child labor in industry was
reduced rs per cent between 1887
and 1889, and decreased still
further in 1910, as result of
the minimum age standards in
the Federal Wage-Hour Act and
the child labor laws of many
states, it was reported this week
by Katharine F. Lenroot, chief
of the Children's Bureau, U. S.
Department of Labor.
"a darker side of the picture"
said Miss Lenroot, is the fact
that these laws do not protect
children "on industrialized
farms, where too many young
children are employed in fac
tory-like repetitive processes, for
long hours at low wages.

were cut apart by the Panama
Canal, which runs through Central
America.
In much the same way, Africa and
Asia were cut apart by the Suez
Canal. Those continents were
joined by land until modern times.
Less than century ago the work OF
digging the canal was started.
The building of the Suez Canal
cost about s127,OOO,COO. This was
less than one-third of the amount
which later was spent on the
Panama Canal.
There were no huge landslides to
worry about in the case of the
suez Canal. Neither were there any
locks to build. These points help
explain the smaller cost.
A Frenchman, Ferdinand de Les
seps, is honored for the Suez Canal.
1t was his dream which at last be-
came real.
For years De Lesseps worked on
plans and tried to raise the mil
lions needed for the canal. At last,
in 1859, work was started. Ten and
a half years later it was finished.
That was great day for the
world. 1t meant shorter water
route from Western Europe to India
and China.
Before that time vessels from
Great Britain had sailed around
Southern Africa to reach India.

in time of peace. We may figure
that such rules are lifted when
there seems danger of airplane at
tack during warfare.
Germany's drive into the Balkans
may have been due, in part, to a
desire to reach the Suez Canal.
Hitler and Mussolini have wanted
to block the passage of British ships
through the waterway.
Thanks to British sea power, the
italian colonies in Eastern Africa
were cut off from commerce after
Italy entered the present war. Mus

South lost spade and diamond
and his temper. He squawked to
high heaven that North didn't have
the semblance of a double raise.
North maintained stoutly that
his strong trump support and side
strength were ample for double
raise after he had passed originally.
He intended to double raise to
invite game but had no idea at all
Of encouraging South to bid a slam.
I'VE have agreed to accept your
decision. Who was right?"
South was right; North wasn't
even close to a double raise. Despite
the strong trumps, North had only
two queens, one king and not even
a singleton. With only fair distri-
button, double raise must promise
about average high-card strength
whether or not the bidder has passed
originally.
The correct bid for North is
debatable point. Two hearts is best
with a fine partner. An ultra
conservative partner may have to be
nursed along with a manufactured
bid of one spade Cor two of minor;
to be followed, of course, by heart
raise on the next round. But three
hearts is much too strong a bid for
the North hand under any circum-
stances.

0ff.Street Parking
Studied
In Montgomery
One and Two Family
Houses Would Have
Facilities Under Plon

A proposal that provision be made
for off-street parking for all one
and two family dwellings erected in
the future in Montgomery County
is being studied by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
The proposal was advanced by
Washington I. Cleveland, represent
ing the Greater Kensington Civic
League, at hearing before the COM
mission Friday night.
His was one Of number of cit
liens suggestions for improvement
of proposed new zoning ordinance
for the county. AS now drafted, the
regulations would merely require
apartment buildings to provide each
housekeeping unit with park
ing space J
Backed by Organization.
Mr.. Cleveland declared that his
organization was unanimously in
favor of extending this to require
off-street parking facilities for one
car beside all single-family dwell
ings and parking facilities for two
cars for each two-family dwelling.
He also said that the apartment
house regulation requiring one park
ing space for each housekeeping unit
should apply also to apartments
erected in D commercial zone.
In addition. ne asserted that
parking facilities should be estab-
lished in connection with all build
lngs where a substantial number
of persons congregate, such as
churches, hospitals, theaters and
business houses.
He pointed out that the new zon-
ing ordinance of Arlington County,
Va, has provided for parking space
for each family unit in apartment
and other residential districts.
Would Limit Height.
Other recommendation made by
Mr.. Cleveland concerned creation
of a height limit in buildings erect
ed in G residential area; a re-
quirement for front yards for apart
ment houses built in a D residen-
tlal zone, and a specific prohibi-
tion against the building of row
houses in the county.
Among other organizations which
appeared at the hearing were the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton, whose spokesman seconded MIR.
Cleveland's request for a specific
regulation against row houses: the
Sandy Spring Citizens Association.
the Sligo Park Citizens Associa-
ton, the Chevy Chase Garden
Citizens Association and the Chevy

gate John H. Kenney, Baltimore
Democrat, said today he planned to
submit to the Maryland General As
sembly a bill to amend the State
Constitution to create a Legislature
with only one House of 35 members.
A similar bill to establish a uni
cameral Legislature was introduced
unsuccessfully by Mr.. Kenney in
1899.
Mr.. Kennedy asserted the Legisla-
ture was headed for one of the
worst jams in its history" and added
he thought such last-minute tie-upS
were "the most disgusting feature of
the two-House system"
He estimated $4,000 per session
could be saved under a unicameral

An official board last night was
Investigating the fire which yester-

Its findings will not be made
known for two or three days.
Until the board reports, Fort Myer
officials would give no estimate OF
damage to the building, which was
built about 1890 at cost OF S40,-
900; Capt. Robert N. Walker, pubic
relations officer, said.
District Fire Chief Stephen Por-
ter. who was in charge OF the Dis
trict apparatus that responded 10
the fire, said there was insufficient
water in the mains to combat the
blaze properly. He said he did not
know whether this was due to in
suficient pressure. The reServa-

Capt. Walker said reports that the
board of investigation would study
the water situation are "unfounded.
The building blazed for more than
three hours and the one fire engine
truck on the reservation was aug

Hundreds of automobiles blocked

the barracks, until Arlington Coun-

Col. Gordon was at the scene OF
the fire until it was under control
and named the board of investiga-
ton while witnessing the blaze.
Capt. Walker said that there is
no evidence to indicate incendi-
ariSm.
