Onion Black Market,
With Prices Doubled
Is Reported Here
Charge Of $50 Bog
Before Thanksgiving
Predicted by DeoIer

A charge that onions, now almost
unobtainable here, are being sold on
a black market in the District at
more than double OPA ceilings con-
fronted District OPA enforcement
oficials today.
The charge was made late yester-
day by James Deoudes of the
George Deoudes Co., one of the
Districts largest onion dealers, who
said onions brought to the city from
Baltimore were being sold at $3.50
a bag. Ceilings for onions from
New York State are $3.50 a bag and
for Western onions $2.44 for regular
sizes and $264 for jumbos.
Mr.. Deoudes estimated that the
black market price would reach SIS
a bag before Thursday because of
the demand for onions with which
to stuff Thanksgiving turkeys.
John L. Laskey, District OPA en-
forcement attorney, said his Office
was investigating persistent rumors
regarding black market operations
In onions here. His offlce Is con-
VlnCeo something Is wrong, ne
asserted.
According to Mr.. Deoudes, the
shortage is due to Government buy
ing for the armed forces. II have
just returned from the onion pro-
ducing centers of Pine Island and
Middletown, N. Y" he said, "and
there Is hardly an onion to be had
there. The Government is holding
some 100 carloads in storage. Some
Of these are being trucked to mill
tary centers, the rest are being held
for dehydration prior to shipment
abroad"
Onions are not likely to reach the
Washington market in any consid-
cradle quantity much before Christ
mas, according to Mr.. Deoudes.

District Court Appea
May Be Filed Today
By Gas Light Co.
PUG Denies PIeu
For Reconsideration
Of Rote Cut Order

The Washington Gas Light Co
Is expected to file an appeal in
District Court, possibly today. from
the order Of the Public Utilities
Commission on November 8, reduc-
ing the rate Of return from S.
per cent to SIS per cent. The re-
ductlon would mean a saving OF
sl32 300 for consumers for the rate
year beginning September l.
The new schedules were to GO
into effect last Friday, but were
stayed temporarily when the COM
pany filed an application for recon-
sideration, which was denied yes
terday. Although the original deci-
sion of the PUG was a 2-to-l vote.
the decision to deny the applica-
ton was unanimous.
When the application was filed
last week the company pointed out
that its action was "a legal prerequi-
site to an appeal to the District
Court" The company said that the
principal question it wished to raise
was whether. as a matter of law,
the commission can establish a rate
Of return as low as SIS per cent,
when the company claims it is less
than the cost of its capital obliga-
tions
The company has also raised legal
questions involving the method of
computing the cost of capital and
whether the evidence presented is
adequate to support the findings
set forth in the PUG order.
II the company files, it will put
the last two decisions of the PUG
in the courts. Last years decision.
which gave the company a 5000, 900
increase. has been challenged by
the Federal Government, and liti-
cation in the case is slated for re-
view by the Supreme Court.

Liquor Men Propose
Limit Of One Bottle
To Each Customer
ABC Board Weighing
Rotioning Plan for
Spreading Supplies

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today was studying a ration
ing proposal of the District Retail
Liquor Dealers Association for
limiting sales of whisky to one bot
tie for Washingtonians.
The ABC Board through its chair
man, Thomas E. Lodge, said 1t had
no comment to make on the pro-
posal submitted yesterday, but that
the matter was under study.
Not only would customers be limited
to sales of one bottle unit"-which
apparently means anything from a
half pint to quart-but they would
be required to show an OPA ration
book, issued in the District.
If the purchaser wishes to buy
more than one bottle permission
from the ABC Board would have
to be obtained under the liquor
dealers plan. Similarly, a non-
resident without a local ration book
would be required to obtain per-
mission from the board for a pur-
chase.
The retailers plan, adopted at a
meeting of the Executive Board of
the association yesterday, also calls
for the following points:
Appointment of a three man COM
mittee to work out details on the
number of bottles allowed customers
per month. the committee to be
composed of representative of the
wholesalers and of the ABC Board
and retailers;
Elimination of the some IS or 40
dealers who carry on both a whole
sale and retail business:
Meeting of representatives of
wholesalers ard retailers, Ito the
end that there will be a fair and
established distribution from whole
saler to retailer to the consuming
public;
Regulations to be drawn requiring
wholesalers to post daily receipts
with the ABC Board, along with
prices and information on the quail
ity of whisky on hand.
Harry c. Wechsler, president of
the association, said his group felt
that their proposals would bring out
more of the dealers supply of whisky
on the shelves.

Senate Housing Unit
To Inspect Projects
In Nearby Maryland
Lily Ponds Development
And Calvert Apartments
On Groups Itinerary

Making what may be the final
tour In their investigation Of housing
conditions here, members of the Sen
ate District Subcommittee headed
by Senator Burton, Republican, of
Ohio, tomorrow will inspect develop
ments for war workers erected in
nearby Maryland by the National
Capital Housing Authority. They
will be accompanied by Representa-
tives Beall, Republican, and Scasser,
Democrat, of Maryland, in whose
districts the properties are located.
In addition to the Maryland prop
critics, the group also will visit the
Lily Ponds Houses, 50O-unit NCHA
development for white war workers
at Kenilworth, Eastern and Ana
costa avenues NE. The NCHA's
Maryland properties are the Calvert
Houses, 500 units for white occu-
pancy, on Baltimore boulevard be-
tween Riverdale and College Park,
Nd, and the Fairway Houses, 238
units for white families, on Forest
Glen road, Silver Spring.
John 1hlder, executive officer of
the NCHA, pointed out these three
developments are comparable to
properties built in nearby Virginia
by the Federal Public Housing Au-
thority, which were inspected by the
subcommittee 10 days ago. All are
examples of temporary war housing.
The Fairway houses are de
mountables," but the Calvert and
Lily Ponds units, like the FPHA
houses, are "demolishables" and will
have only salvage value when
cleared away after the war emer-
gency period. Both the Lily Ponds
and Calvert properties were erected
under Government restrictions linn
iting the total cost for land, site
development and construction to
50 900 for each unit.
Mr.. Ihlder said that with tomor-
rows tour. the subcommittee will
have inspected all the different types
OF housing built or managed by the
NCHA. Whether the subcommittee
will make additional tours to view
the remaining NCHA properties sim
liar to those already visited, remains
to be decided by Senator Burton, Mr..
Ihlder said

By the Associated Press
The Office of Price Administra-
tion has announced plans to modify
a "highest-price line limitation

garments for women, girls and chill
dren
An amendment of the limitation
order to be issued Thursday will
permit these stores to sell slightly
higher-price line of such garments.
The action is necessary, OPA ex-
planned yesterday. because of a shift
OF production from lower priced
garments to merchandise costing a

In my opinion, this is industrial

of existing mediation and arbitra-
ton agencies on the Federal, State.
and local levels, short OF compulsory
arbitratiO because I think such
plans lead to industrial democracy
Mr.. Bannell challenges: Prof Mum
indicates adherence for establish
ing standards of wages, hours and
working conditions. Standards such
as these must be inevitably set any
way if we are to enjoy industrial
peace. A final determination of
grievances arising between unions
and managementS can be obtained
only by submission CT the contro-
verSy to an impartial body-be it
private or judicial-authorized to
render an enforceable award. Strikes
and lockouts gain nothing. They
are economic wars, the barbarouS
method for settling disputes 1t Ger
tainly is not alien to our economic
and political institutions to refer
differences of opinion to tribunals
for final adjudication.
Prof. Num- replies: Over the last
two decades this country has been
evolving an industrial relations
policy. 1t does not call for the set
ting of wages, hours and working
conditions BY Government. The
Government merely determines min
imum standards. and says the actual
standards are to be set by collective
bargaining between unions and en-
ployers. The job of Government
is to maintain a balance through
such laws as the Norris-La Guardia
Act, the National Labor Relations
Act, etc. If Government removes
from labor the right to strike, no
semblance of balance will be main
tanned because labor will have lost
its chief economic force.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!
Should Compulsory Arbitration Replace
The Strike and Lockout?
As Debated bY.
RAYMOND Fl. RANNETJ

MA MpIND II. bANNELI,
Vice President, Hartford Steel Bail Co.
Mr.. Bannell Orens: In post
America the organized strike and
lockout should not be revived
They must be prohibited by law
We know our democracy, based on
the premise might does not make
right is on trial Democracy will
still be on trial after the war. We
will have seen the collapse of the
concept might makes right"
To revert to pre-war methods of
settling grievances through the eco
nomlc leverage Of strikes and lock-
outs is to prove We have gained
little from the terrible experiences
OF this war.
Once the grievances of manage
ment and labor have been estab-
lished they should be referred to
an impartial individual, or tribunal
mutually agreed upon. The arbi-
traitor, or tribunal. should have au-
thority to make final determination
of the dispute. If the parties can
not agree on this procedure of
Voluntary arbitration the law should
compel them to plead their cases
before judicial body with power
to enforce the award.
This is the peaceful method.
Management and labor should re-
sort to it as a definite example we
have learned might does not make
hight" We cannot convince beaten,
bewildered peoples of the world we
are capable of leadership unless
our own house is in order.
Prof. Num- Challenges: 1t is be-
cause l believe in democracy that
] oppose legislation to outlaw strikes
and lockouts. Neither England nor
America in this war has found it
necessary to prohibit by law either
strikes or lockoutS. If such legis-
lation, which is advocated by my
opponent, is desirable during peace
it clearly should be even more de-
sirable while the Nation is fighting
for its very existence Actually. one
of the issues of this war is the right
of workers to organize and bargain
collectively for wages. hours and
working conditions No such right
exists in the totalitarian countries;
these are democratic institutions.
MIR. Bannell Replies: The right of
workers to organize and bargain
collectively for wages, hours and
working conditions is unquestioned
These rights are truly democratic
The right to collectively enforce de-
mands by force. through the strike
or lockout, and thereby dismiss the
orderly methods of adjudication, is
not democracy. Legislation compell-
Ing disputants to place their griev-
ances before an impartial tribunal
when voluntary methods have
failed, is most desirable in war or in
peace Victory gained by strike or
lockout is not proof that the side
which lost is wrong, or the side
which won is right. 1t merely
demonstrates the might
makes right"
