CONTRACT TERMS
TOPIC OF FARLEY
Clio and OakviIIe Plant
Hope to Reach Agreement
ment This Afternoon

Members Of the c. I. o. Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers Union
and the management OF the Oak
vile division of the Scovill Manu-
featuring Company will this AFTER
noon meet in conference in an at
tempt to arrive at conclusive
agreement on contract terms, over
which dispute has been prevalent
for long time.
Meanwhile the Boston Regional
War Labor Board will meet in Bos-
ton this afternoon to vote on ap-
pl1cation on night-shift differential
In the Oakville plant a matter that
has not been fully defined to date
to the mutual satisfaction of labor
or management. The dispute CEN
tiers principally on what constitutes
third shift.
Also in Boston today representa-
tives Of the G. l. o. will appear be-
fore the WLB there to ask extension
OF its contract with the Scoyill
Manufacturing Company pending
negotiations for new contract. The
present contract expired March 25.
Although the company has agreed
to extend certain portions of the
original contract the agreement, &C
cording to the labor authorities,
does not include maintenance of
membership and voluntary check
off of union dues.
The union is soliciting the board
in an attempt to maintain these
latter provisions until the new con-
tract is agreed upon. It is the COM
panyS contention that failure of the
old contract to be continued in
force Is the equivalent of '1apse"
and as such does not consider that
these latter features are still in
force.

Two hundred eleven restaurant
owners in Baltimore have been call
ed in to their War Price and Ration
ing Boards so far to explain viola
lions of the restaurant price regula-
ton, according to Leo H. Mccormick,
State OPA Director. 168 hearings
have already been conducted in Bal

duled throughout Maryland.
1.-THE suspected violations have
been uncovered" Mr.. Mccormick
stated "by Board Price Panels, who
have concentrated their efforts dur
ing the past several weeks surveying
restaurants throughout Maryland.
From reports received" Mr.. Nc
Cormick said, "the survey has shown
that many restaurants have increas-
ed the prices of some items above
their established ceiling price, while
some were charging illegal prices for
practically all the items on their
menus"

AUTOMOBILE INSPECTION

Nine of fourteen States with es-
tablished compulsory automobile in.
spection systems have either suspend
ed inspection entirely or reduced
them in number for the duration OF
the war. Only Pennsylvania, New
Mexico, Maine and Colorado have
refused to make any concession tC
wartime conditions.
This is revealed by George E. Ke-
neipp, Manager of Keystone Auto
mobile Club, in Maryland who made
public replies to QUESTIONABLE sent
to each of the States in which com
pulsory inspection has been in effect
Replies weer received from all but
Mississippi and New Jersey, but the
latter is included in the tabulation
as having reduced the number of in
spection from two to one.
The States which suspended in
spections for the duration are Mary
land, Connecticut, South Carolina
Delaware, Virginia. Those which re-
duced them in number are New Jer.
sey, New Hampshire, Massachusetts
and Vermont.
To the question asked by Key
stone. Have inspections resulted in
appreciable reduction in accidents?'
nine answered in the affirmative;
one, Massachusetts,, in the negative;
another, Colorado, Thought so," and
Vermont failed to reply.
To the Clubs question, Have you
statistical material upon which tc
support the opinion?', Maryland
Delaware, Massachusetts, Virginia
Maine, New Hampshire, and Vernon
admitted they had not. Pennsylvania
New Mexico, Colorado, South Caro-
lima and Connecticut supported theil
belief with opinions on the value Of

CONSERVATION MATERIALS Fol
FARMS

Contracts were awarded by the
Maryland Adjustment Agency for
229,6O0 tons of limestone products
for increasing war-food yields and
removing soil erosion hazards on the
States $4,000 farms this year under
the AAA farm plan. Thirty firms re-
ceived contracts.
The twenty-three County Agricul-
tural Conservation Associations OF
AAA farmers will take applications
for materials at once.
Leonard c. Burns, State AAA vice
chairman in charge of conservation
materials, predicts all of these ma
terials will be applied to the soil in
the about effort of Maryland farm
ers to produce record crops of war
foods this year. Some farmers will
buy additional materials directly
through trade channels.
Farmers who apply these materials
to their soil in accordance with ap-
proved farm practices may have the
cost deducted from their 1914 AAA
conservation payments up to the full
amount of their farm allowance,
which is 81 for each acre of cropland
commercial orchard land and perma-
nent pasture land, and $3.50 times
the acreage of commercial vegetables
grown on the farm in 1910 if three
acres or more. The cost of conseerva-
ton materials obtained by farmers
through regular trade channels may
also be deducted from AAA payments
at credit rates to be announced.
Limestone products obtained I'M
der the AAA conservation materials
plan may, be applied on any farm
land but the State AAA Committee
is encouraging their use to increase
hay yields and to improve pasture.

OPA SEES NEED TO KEEP FARM
MACHINERY PRICES IN CONTROL

AS many farmers need to replace
or add to the mechanical equipment
they require to produce this years
record crop of foodstuffs, the OPA
feels that it is increasingly import
ant that prices for the principally
used farm equipment sold at auction
be kept in line with prices for new
and used equipment sold by regular
farm implement dealers.
In attempting to keep prices for
used farm machinery sold at auction
in line with established prices for
dealers, OPA set ceiling auction
prices on nine of the larger-type
farm implements, which comprise
some so per cent of the total dollar
volume of sales of used farm machin-
cry sold at auction. These items are
combines, corn binders, corn pickers,
farm tractors Except crawler types),
motor or tractor operated hay balers,
hay leaders, manure spreaders, side
delivery rakes, and combinations of
these listed items with other items of
farm equipment designed for mount
ing thereon, when the combination
is sold as a unit.
Ceiling prices for these implements
are not to exceed IS per cent of the
original T. o. b. factory list price for
machinery less than one year old
and not to exceed 70 per cent where
the machinery has been used for
year or more.

STATE ACTIVE in JUVENILE
DELINQUENCY FIGHT, SAYS
O'CONOR

The State is moving ahead with
plans to combat the pressing problem
OF Juvenile Delinquency, Governor
Herbert r. O'Conor declares, but he
warns that the best the State can
ever do will not furnish the complete
answer to this vexing question.
Lack of parental care, lower NOR
al standards and broken homes are
contributing factors to juvenile de-
linauency which today persists as one
OF the major problems before the
American public" the Governor de-
clared. Additional buildings alone
cannot cure what is in essence
a social disease.
mo well informed person today
would ask whether it is the function
OF the State to provide institutions
for delinquents. That question was
settled long ago and all public Off
Gals recognize that there is such a
responsibility upon the State. Mary
land has been discharging this obli-
cation to greater degree through
larger financial appropriations than
ever before in its history.
Furthermore, after l became Gov
ernor, the State launched upon a
broader progam which would have
resulted in the construction of need
ed institutional buildings but the war
brought temporary stop to the OBJ
tention of needed materials and la
Dor. Fortunately, this time is being
taken by planning for needed con-
struction to be begun at the cessa-
ton of hostilities.
Il initiated the movement four
years ago which has probably pro-
duced the greatest results toward the
ultimate improvement in the field
of juvenile delinquency. Through
my appointment of the Juvenile De-
linquency Commission, of VIII ic b
Richard F. Cleveland was chairman,
and subsequently, of the Commission
authorized by the Administration
legislation, of which commission
James M. Hepbron was chairman,
there were brought forward the most
constructive and far-reaching pro-
posals that have been passed for final
action before the Maryland public
These groups did excellent work.
Their proposals were advocated
by me in Administration bills in the
Legislature, in accordance with the
recommendations of these Commits.
sions. Happily, these legislative en-
actments were carried through the
legislature and were approved by me
thus making them law. Included in
the notable improvements resulting
from these enactments are:
/. The creation of the Juvenile
Court, with appropriate jurisdiction
under the Supreme Bench of Balti

2. The establishment of Bureau
Of Child Welfare.
8. The creation Of q Division o.
