Magazine Pictures
Horror OF Baltimore
BY Federated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 10 - Home
may mean million different
things to many people but to a
Baltimore war worker it is likely
to be anything with top on it,
according to a profusely illustrated
article in the current issue of Pic
Magazine.
can influx of over 250,000 men
and women into the city's war
plants has taxed housing facilities
beyond belief and has turned the
entire edge of the city into a rag
ged and dirty border. Whole fam
lilies are living in overturned boats,
shacks, discarded and rotten houses,
old buses and abandoned street
cars" the magazine said.
"a war worker is considered
lucky if he can find a decent trailer
and space for it on a trailer camp
site, few of which have been
established by the government.
Many of Baltimore's new citizens
are not so fortunate.
"Some live in so-called defense
workers homes, just off the marsh
land. These are obviously hurriedly
joined road signs and remnants of
decaying houses. There is no cleo
tricity, no sewer disposal system,
and no pure drinking water.
"If these housing conditions seem
bad, the sections available to Negro
workers are completely unbeliev-
able. Now comprising one-fifth of
the population of Baltimore, they
are living in one-fiftieth of its
area. Old chicken houses, coal
sheds and garages are typical resi-
dences for these Americans and
their families ).
--latest reports being circulated
seem to indicate that the billeting
of workers in private homes or the
confiscation of unoccupied resi-
dences might soon be considered as
solution to the housing problem.
Whatever the solution, it should be
made not soon, but now!"

President To Ask
Congress To Curb
Investment Income
By Federated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 = The
President will urge Congress to
more fully implement a cardinal
point of his seven-point program
in 1943, extending the $4,000 net
salary limitation to investment in
come.
This was reliably reported Dec.
1 by a government official. 1t will
be move heartily welcomed by
organized labor. The CIO has
pointed out consistently that it is
in the interest of the war program.
The President, it was said, has
believed all along that all earnings
should be limited to the $4,000
after allowance for taxation. Ac-
tually they could receive before
taxation $67 200, plus anything in
dividuals want to give to charity
or pay on debts or insurance if
they can show that such payments
would be great hardship other
wise.
Reason the President limited the
executive ban to salary so far is
that he was told he didn't have
authority to do otherwise under the
Wage Sterilization Act.

NafienaI Supply

Swayne Field is the home of the
National Supply League. 1t is con-
venient to the plant, and with gas
oline rationing in effect makes
a handy place for the players to
gather before game time and put
in a few practice balls.
All in all, Local 12's teams are
found in almost every bowling es-
tablishment in the city, and alley
owners are glad to have their
patronage. With the war taking
more bowlers each month, and
many plant employees being de-
ferred because of their value in
war plants, factory workers now
constitute by far the largest group
of bowlers in the city.
Women bowlers are on the in
crease also, particularly in the fac
tories, and these, together with the
mems teams bowling under factory
names and departments, make a
great contribution to the game,
which has increased in popularity
from year to year.

Good Hunting Season
BY o. J. Pecord

The 1912 hunting season, which
opened November 20, proved the
prediction that game is plentiful.
Reports coming from the seven
district offices Of the Ohio Division
Of Conservation and Natural re-
sources indicated that large
number Of hunters-almost as
many as usual-were out on the
first day and that the majority
bagged their limit Of pheasants
and rabbits.
The bird season ended December
5, but the rabbit season viii con-
tinue through January 5.
The hunters travel must be
carefully planned this year. To con-
sumo the least gas and use the
least rubber possible, he is sharing
mis- car with others. And when he
succeeds in breaking away for a
few days relaxation, he viii pro-
ceed to his destination at the novel
speed Of 35 miles per hour.
Every time he fires his gun he
will pick up the elected shell to
save the brass. Though he pursues
his game on remote wild lands, he
still will keep his eye open for old
scrap iron to be collected and re-
ported to the game protectors, or
direct to the Conservation Division
who viii arrange for its collection.
If he kills a duck or a goose he
is requested to save the feathers
and to build a reserve against the
growing scarcity Of eiderdown.

NofI. Supply
Team Moves
Upward
BY L. X. BARNARD

One Of the teams in the Local II
All-Star League which has been
showing consistent improvement in
the past few weeks is the National
Supply five.
National Supply teams in the
Swayne Field League are going
strong and from the way the
scores are holding up, it looks
like close race. Some of the team
members are wondering which
team is going to be first in the
league, but up to now, it's any
body's race.
Gasoline rationing has occasioned
some change in the habits of our
bowlers. Instead Of going home
from work on their bowling nights,
most Of the team members remain
in the neighborhood Of the alleys
and save gas. This shows fine
pirit Of cooperation with the gov
ernment in its attempt to conserve
tires.
League leaders are Bob Welton
and H. Black tied with averages of
$50 each. L. LaFevre is hot on the
heels Of the leaders with a nice
179, and "old man" Bordner isn't
out of the battle for top honors,
sporting a fine III average and
promising to pick it up every week.
Everybody is really in there
pitching trying to raise their aver
ages and with such competitive
spirit anything can still happen.
Maybe some dark horse will come
in first like George c. Bryce, who
was surprised" when Council
named him last Monday.

AFL-CIO Committee
Will Decide
JurisdictionaI Disputes
BY Federated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 = The
text of the statement made avail
able by the AFL on the AFL-CIO
conference on Dec. 1-2, indorsed by
members of both the AFL and CIO
committees, reads:
"The AFL and CIO peace com
mittees,in an effort to make its
maximum contribution to our coun-
try in the war and for the further
ance and protection of the condi-
tions of the workers, today agreed
upon the following:
"'We are convinced that if peace
negotiations are to be successful
and unity achieved, cooperation
among our respective members and
organizations must be encouraged
Fand promoted. 1t is our belief that
it would be extremely difficult to
make satisfactory progress toward
unity through these negotiations if
in the meantime there is an alb
sence of practical cooperation be-
tween the two organizations.
"'We agree to the establishment
of a joint AFL-CIO committee to
hear and decide any disputed juris-
dictional differences that may arise
between the two above named or
ganizations. If the joint committee
fails to agree upon a complaint
lodged with the committee it shall
select a disinterested arbiter to rem
der a decision on the dispute in
question.
" "'The arbiter's decision shall be
final and binding on both parties.
In the event an arbiter cannot be
agreed upon by the committee
within five days, the President of
the United States shall be request
ed to name an arbiter. We recon-
mend that this understanding shall
remain in force until labor unity
is effected. This agreement is sub
ject to the approval of the Execu-
tive Councils of the two organiza-
tions'."

BY Federated Press

DECATUR, ILL.,, Dec. 10-Arith-
metic took a beating at the meet
ing of representatives of 1000 So
called smaller newspapers most of
them representing an investment of
$500,000 or more, each) called here
to defend the Associated Press
against the Justice Departments
antitrust suit, which followed a
complaint against AP made by
Federated Press.
The government contends that
the AP is monopoly because,
among other reasons, it restricts
the number of newspapers which
may buy its non-profit service. AL
though it would seem that an in
crease in the number of paying
newspapers would decrease the cost
of AP to the individual newspaper,
the spokesman for the so-called
smaller newspapers contended the
direct opposite.
In addition to bad arithmetic, the
spokesmen for these so called
smaller newspapers had much to
say about the governments al
legged attempt to seize control of
the press.
Ignored was the fact that most
of these small city dailies have a
stranglehold on circulation and ad-
vertising in their own communities
and one of the means by which they
maintain these highly profitable
monopolies is the exclusive AP
franchise.
