on Saturday only to those employees who have worked 40 hours in the week prior to Saturday. The union had requested time and a half on Saturdays for all working, regard less of whether they had put in 40 hours previously or not.
 However, according to MT. Keni- shea, the company has agreed to minimize short-time work during the week so that if an employe is called to work on Saturday, he would probably have put in 40 hours during the regular work week.
 The company is willing to pay time and-one-half for Sundays and holidays, not double time as the union had requested, MT. Kenishea said.
 Sherman Dalyrimple, information al president of the union, who has been participating in the confer ences, has returned to his headquar- ters and on the way was to stop at New York city to discuss the situa- tion with officials there. it was said.

 Gas Going Up
 Gasoline dealers here will close on Sunday at D. m. and will not re- open until Monday morning at ', it was learned today from 8 reliable source. It is probable also that the price of regular and high-test gaso- line will increase one cent by tomor- row.
 This is due to the shortage of gas- oline. Indications are that dealers fear their supply of gasoline will be used up too quickly if they do not close on Sunday.
 This will probably mean that many will get gasoline in their cars Sunday morning or earlier, but in- dications are that some will run out of gas before Monday morning.

He Hided that sometimes work is speed- cd up 20 per cent or 30 per cent above these standard figures.

THE LATE SIR MARK

Already the FBI has case in which the victim was retired munitions manufacturer His con- fidence was gained through an im- posing person with British ac- cent, who was introduced as Sir Mark Webster Jenkinson, "finan- cial director of Vickers Company, Ltd, London. The victim even took the precaution of checking a vol ume on the British peerage. Sir Mark was there all right, but what the edition didn't show was that the real Sir Mark had been dead nearly a year. The proposition made to the victim was that he was to take an executive post in big new factory. Conferences were held in several cities and minute details of the new plant were discussed, the con men never slipping once in their glib discus sion of munition manufacture tech nicalities.
 From there on, however, the game developed into the hoary old ''race-horse sWindle." With variations, this is a simple little drama in which one or more Of the con men appears to win a huge

 NEW YORK, Oct, l4-There was the punch that felled gallant Jim Braddock, the blow that up- rooted Pauline. Uzcudun, the blast that paralyzed Max Schmeling. These were the great Louis punches and to these must be added the right hand smash that destroyed Lou Nova.
 It was one of Joe's masterpieces. It was thrown so speedily that those at the ringside had difficulty fol- towing it. It came so quickly that Nova had no defense <. SO quickly hat he couldn't thrust up an arm to partially block it or duck or swerve his head ..s. it was bulls- eye.
 It could be compared with the cIout that stopped Pauline. It was just as sudden. There was no action leading up to it. It was just as clean and devastating blow but not quite as dead-center as the punch six years ago that caught the Spaniard flush on the mouth.

sum of money which cannot be collected until bank credits are es- tablished. The victim, either through promises of big split in the profits or merely because of friendship, is persuaded to put up part of the sum, which is the last he ever sees of his money or his new-found friends. In this instance, the con ring collected $30,000. In another similar case in which paving contracts in an adjoining state were used as bait. a gang got $20O,o0O. OIL SPINDLE MORE REFINED
 The race-h horse swindle doesn t have all the refinements of the. oil lease swindle. In this case, the yic- tim is offered a generous sum for the lease of his land, and an op- ton is taken. A confederate shows up day or so later and offers far greater sum. The victim then pays over a tidy fee to get out of his option and, of course, the lease never is executed.
 There are other con game Swil- eiles, but in the upper brackets they all add up to the same thing, promises of great profits for the temporary use" of lesser sums.
 The con man is the aristocrat of criminals. Suavity, ready wit, an outer personality that begets confidence are the tools of his trade And because his victim so often is ashamed to confess that he has been duped or fears to re- veal that he has lost large sums, the con man sometimes can oper- ate for years before the police are even aware of his activities.
 However, in the seven years since the FBI has had its new legal bludgeon against the men who work the sucker racket, Di- rector J. Edgar Hoover's boys have built up sweet file on the big timers in the con game. In the case of the munitions manufac- turer, it was only 24 hours after he laid his story before the FB1 that all the principals in the little show had been identified = and the hunt was on.

NEW YORK. oct. IA. = The Dodgers, it would seem, need simpler signals. Signals that couldn't be missed. For it's very likely that a missed signal cost the Dodgers the first game of the World Series, against the Yankees.
 In the midst of Brooklyn rally in the seventh inning Durocher says he gave signal to third base coach Charlie Dressen to be re- layed on to pinch-hitter Jim Was dell. It was the sign to bunt. Wasdell declares he didn't get the signal. And he tried to hi. with disastrous results.
 It seemed that diamond luck was turning Brooklyns way early in that seventh inning. Rookie Riz- zuto contributed the first and only error of the contest with low throw that gave Cookie Lavagetto life at first base. Then Pee Wee Reese hit dribbler across second base that went between Rizzuto and Gordon.
 There was chance for the bunt But Durocher sent Riggs up to hit, and he dropped single into centerfield to score Lavagetto. Still no one out with runners on first and second, the Dodgers needing one run to tie.
 Here was another chance for a bunt
 And Durocher says he called for 1t and Wasdell missed it A bunt would have moved both runners ahead. with one very likely to score from third with a long fly bah hitter like Dixie Walker coming up.
 But Wasdell hit. He popped up 9 foul that Red Roife caught near the Yankee dugout. And this set the stage for Hal Reese; on sec ond base, to get in his bit of back firing strategy. He elected to go to third after the catch, This en- abled Rolfe to turn the maneuvcr into double play. catching Reese as he slid into the bag with q throw to Rizzuto:
 So what seemed promising situation for Brooklyn quickly turned into disaster. For Walker. grounded for the third out.
 Maybe the bunt would have worked and maybe it wouldn't. But the second -guessers will have their innings telling you it would.
 Bucky Harris, Washington man. ager, who had .wasdell. for two years, added another angle. to the confusion by volunteering the in- formation, that Wasdell never missed a signal with the Sena- tors.
 It's strange how often in a short series the normally light hitters will be batting stars. The weak end of the Brooklyn batting order five Of the six Dodger hits. The big end could produce no more than a little roller by Medwick that never got as far down the. line as third base. And Reese came up with just half of the Brooklyn blows three hits.
