AWARD CONTRACT
FOR new SCHOOL
WILL BE CONSTRUCTED ON
FORT STREET FOR COL
oRED CHILDREN

The contract for the construc-
ton of schoolhouse for colored
children on Fort street was
awarded Saturday afternoon to
the Mackle-Leach Company.
Their bid, $63.669.38, was the
lowest submitted to the school
board.
The amount to erect the build.
ing leaves the board approx
mately $4,000 to pay for the
land and to furnish the school
house. OF the $83,50O the board
has, $4,000 of it was provided
by the county and the balance
by the Federal Works Agency.
Four hundred and fifty stu
dents will be accommodated in
the proposed schoolhouse, which
will have 20 rooms. It's proposed
construction resulted from the
Nays acquiring the former
schoolhouse and its site through
condemnation proceedings to
expand the Navy Yard.

one was stopped. another was
reported elsewhere in the city.
1t was feared that the riots

ton of war material in General
Motors plants, when the police
received reports at 5 O'Clock this
morning that groups of white
men, on their way to the plants
at that time to begin work, were
attacked by negroes. Squads of
policemen hurried to the scene,
broke up the rioting and remain
ed on duty in that locality to
protect other men on their way
to or from the plants.

of which jails here are crowded.

Getting In Wrong

! Throughout the northeast in particu-

land still have not managed to save
.enough fuel oil to assure them against
acute suffering. The only relief in sight,
slight as it may be - unless the wealth
sernan performs miracles will come
from whatever conversions can be made
to coal. SO what happens? First there
is a strike over increased dues to John
L. Lewis union. It is settled by Presi-
Dental intervention. Meanwhile, there
has been loss of approximately one
third, temporarily, in the mines poten-
tial output. Harold Ickes, New Dealer
and surely no enemy of organized labor,
pointed out the effect in press release
after operations had taken an upturn:
"Even with increased production :. and
emergency distribution measures insti-
tuted, the east coast fuel situation re-
mains acute"
Donald Nelson, trying to clarity the
issues in another dispute, said that t1ve
military needs are receiving prime pri-
critics. They are shipbuilding, aircraft,
synthetic rubber, anti-Submarine escort
vessel and high-octane gasoline. SO
what happens? Petty strikes here and
there in each industry - particularly,
IN view OF 1CS size ana urSeHI HuPOiU-
ance, in the synthetic rubber prepare

a pay rise for coal miners. This is on
top Of the fact that, by holding onto the
5-day, 35-hour week, as pay basis, when
national emergency demands 6-day work,
his constituents are getting time-and-a-
half for hours for which most war work.
srs have to be satified with straight time
rates.
The Gime-and-a-half over IS hours
provision has forced the OPA to authorize
1 price increase. The wage rise, If bulled
through, will shove up the cost of coal
again. These are merely hit-and-miss,
passing commentaries upon reasons why
there IS an increasing criticism of organ
Ized labor by persons who hitherto have
aot INDUCED. It may be significant that
these blasts often come from men who
nave recently seen at first-hand what the
S50-a-month men in uniform are suffer-

leaders will begin looking ahead to that

Views OF The Press
BONANZA OR NOT?
(New York Herald- Tribune)

(New York Herald
A careful survey confirms the
general impression that business Is
booming In New York's hotels. In
deed, the, bookings are probably at
the highest point in history. And
this does not include only the large
hotels near the railroad stations and
the amusement center; even the
smaller residential hotels, from
Brooklyn Heights to the upper
reaches of Manhattan, report that
they are crowded. The reasons for
this are many and obvious-the
large number Of service men who
come to the city for one reason or
another, the inroadS Of suburbanites
and country jewellers who have been
driven in by such matters as gaso-
line and fuel rationing, and so on.
Ordinarily such situation would
mean rejoicing among the hotel
men. The hotels, for many years,
have had tough shedding. Thirteen
years of prohibition was hard
enough. Then, since repeal. although
business was generally better, they
have had their problems. They are
not exactly down-hearted over the
present influx Of patrons, but they
can point out-and clearly with a
good deal Of logic-that all is not
rosy. The hotel men too have their
worries in these times. They ind
1t hard to get enough food. Many
materials necessary for the up-to-
date operation Of Q hotel are UNI
obtainable. They feel the fuel
problem. And in the matter Of per-
sonnet they are terribly hard hit.

Added Working Hours

The question of the forty-eight hour
week has become the topic Of the day.
The new ruling of the forty-eight hour
week will work out to good advantage
in some instances, for example, in in
dustrial plants; in other instances the
added hours are not thought necessary.
If working forty-eight hours is going to
speed up production and help generally,
there should be no. grumbling. There are
branches of industry which, allowing for
forty hours week, really need a forty
eight hour week to accomplish what
should be accomplished.
Many offices and stores do not actu-
ally need forty-eight hours of service.
Eight more hours would result in wasted
effort. This can be appreciated in many
instances where the forty-hour worker
just barely rounds out forty hours. In
fact, he works under rather than over
the allotted time in many instances.
It goes without saying that whatever
is thought expedient in the way of help
ing along the cause, that is to step up
production, will meet with general
approval

Sink The Army

During World War Secretary Daniels
sought to dry up the Navy by an anti
imbibing order. It's overall effect was
not notable, but it. did let sailors and their
officers in for some merciless kidding
from the Army. Now the tables are
turned. The last GASES in Army camps,
the officers clubs, have been ordered dry
by Chief of Staff Marshall. Naval Off
GERS are taking a sadistic delight in
inviting Army officers to their clubs and
messes for drink of something stronger
than 3.2 beer Times do change, and he
who laughs last has sweet laugh.

There used to be familiar saying that

waste of fats and such things Is appal-
ing. So now in the interests of salvage
we join with food boards in denouncing
the scandalous custom of throwing out
such things. Now, If never before, we
must become intelligent about these
things. We must learn how to handle
surplus fats, clear them and make them
disable for ourselves and the meat dealer
who will pass them along to the salvage
committees for further uses. Down the

be out for the duration of the war and
