Graduation Exercises Are Held
At Phyllis Wheatley Branch YWCA

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(SNS) -
One hundred and fifty-two young
women-the first class to finish the
hostess training course at the Phyl-
lis Wheatley Branch of the YWCA
were presented with USO Junior
Hostess diplomas at formal grad
uation exercises at the Washington,
D. c., institution Tuesday night.
The presentations were made by
DR.. Mary Mcleod Bethune, presi-
dent of the National Council of Ne
gro Women and Director of Negro
Affairs for the National Youth Ad-
miniStration. DR.. Bethune expressed
pride in the fact that young women
today are accepting their response
bilities to the war effort and urged
the graduates to approach their
duties in this manner.
The 152 graduates raised to more
than 1000 the number of white and
Negro Junior Hostesses who have
completed 10-hours training courses
in the District of Columbia. Calling
attention to this fact, Miss Mabel
r. Cook, area representative of the
National USO, reminded the grad
yates that their work afforded
them one of the last opportunities
to send the soldiers to war with
memories which they could cherish
throughout the grim task which

Begun in January with the Or
ganization of a Consumer Interest
Council, the group has made such
Roadway in their area that the local
War Price and Rationing Board
has now furnished it with official
forms for reporting violations of
price ceilings.
LEARNED PRICES
Based on the practical determine
ton to save dollars for themselves
and any other families, members of
the Council set out to do a
thorough job, first by learning OPA
price regulations and their appli-
cation to everyday shopping prob
lens, then by using this knowledge
to see that local merchants charg-
ed no more than the legal ceiling
for commodities covered by price
regulations.
Drawing in interested women
from Hampton, Yorktown, Phoebus
and various suburban areas, the
group accomplished its first OBJ
jective by calling a Consumer In
stitute at which local and national
OPA staff members supplied their
listeners with information and
material to assist them in carry
ing out the project.
Following this, Mrs. Stephens
and about Is active members of the
Council, acting entirely on a
volunteer basis, set out to check
prices in scores Of stores, paying
particular attention tc those in
Negro neighborhods.
EVADE CEILINGS
After a month of such work,
they found that out of q major
stores covered, only two were OBJ
serving OPA regulations. For ex-
ample, by buying butter at several
different stores, and comparing
prices they were required to pay
with those established by the OPA,
they found that many merchants
were evading ceiling prices on
this item. A complete report was
made to the local War Price and
Rationing board which immediate
ly went to work. Two weeks later
when the same stores were re-
checked, the group found that
butter prices had come down and
nearly all stores charged no more
than OPA ceiling prices.
Another technique successfully
used by Mrs. Stephens and the
other workers was to advise a
storekeeper that a close competitor
charged no more than the ceiling
on a certain commodity. In many
cases, Mrs. Stephens said, this re-
suited in the storekeeper refiguring
his own price.
Findings by the group, which
were termed "of great Importance,
included: home cured bacon was
sold at the top price for packaged
de-rined bacon in violation of
regulations; stores in Negro neigh
borhoods patronized largely by
whites; dollars and cents ceilings
actually have lowered prices on
many retail foods, and well-train-
ed, full time price swardens are
needed to protect the value of the
food dollar of the average family.

New Wildcat Cool Strikes

Pittsburgh, Nov. 11.-CUP)-Wilds cat strikes spread through the west~ ern Pennsylvania coal fields today as angry mine workers walked out in protest to a government order barring overtime pay for Armis- tice day.
 A spokesman for the Western Pennsylvania Coal Operators As. sociation estimated that only about 9 per cent of the normal conple- ment in his area were working. A survey showed that at least 16,290 men were idle in 23 pits.
 An apparently spontaneous move- ment, the Talkouts came only three days after the end of a general strike over terms of new contract, now signed, which had cut deeply into iron and steel production.
 The strikers were represented as feeling that they should be paid time and one-half for working to- day, even though they received over~ time rates for Memorial day, which, with Armistice day. is an alternate holiday under the miners contract.
 The walkouts hit both commercial and captive mines with equal sever- ity, although Pittsburgh Coal Co.,, one of the worlds largest com- mercial producers, suffered most
