Union Curbs Delivery
by Competitors Of
Connecticut Pie Co.

Bakery Sales Drivers Local Union
No. 80 today ordered drivers of two
District pie companies not to make
deliveries to former customers of the
Connecticut Pie Co., which re-
opened yesterday. It had been
closed by District Court order re-
straining it from baking pies until
Health Department sanitary regula-
tions were completed.
Robert C. Lester, business agent of
the union, said the move was made
to aid the drivers of the Connecticut
Co. "and not the company" itself.
While the pie firm was closed, Mr.
Lester said, drivers of the other
companies picked up their business.
IF we hadn't acted. drivers of the
company would have had to start
all over again in getting customers,
he added.
The union official said the order
would be in effect only long enough
to permit the Connecticut Co. driv-
ers to contact their customers
again. THE Connecticut Co. driv-
ers shouldn't be penalized for some
thing which was not their fault" he
said.
Drivers for the three pie firms
here all work on a salary and COM
mission basis, it was said. Mr.
Lester said that before the shut
down the Connecticut Co. had fur
nished about so per cent of the Dis
trict's pie output.
The union warned its member
drivers that any violation of the
edict would result in disciplinary
action and possible fines.
The Connecticut Co., during the
time it was closed down, took steps
to improve sanitary conditions te
comply with the court ruling. Off,
cials of the firm said that every
health requirement has now beer
met. The District Court order wa.
issued November 2.

Overtime Parking Rules
Relaxed for EMERGENCY

Enforcement of overtime parking
regulations will be relaxed until
transportation facilities return to
normal, Acting Police Supt. Harvey
j. Callahan said today.
Parking overtime in restricted
zones will be allowed. However
parking between streetcar platforms
and the adjacent curb, too close to
fire plugs, in crosswalks and in alleys
or loading zones, where such parking
will interfere with deliveries, will
not be permitted.
Also, parking in any place which

At present wage rates, adoption OF
the additional service will cost in

company added.
Figures for the first 10 months Of

cline in revenues has begun to
make itself felt while the company

14-Day Truce Ended.
This mornings vote ended a IA
day truce" between the factions,
which officially was to end at mid
might tonight.
BY whatever term the union
workers chose to call the stoppage,
it was nothing less than a strike to
Government workers and others
who found their usual source of
transportation absent this morning.
/ Unlike the work stoppage Noyem-
ber 6, Washington was not caught
wholly unprepared for today's tie-up
as many workers accustomed to
riding buses and streetcars arranged
with neighbors for transportation.
Most of the more than 200 900
Government employees contrived to
reach their Offices on a share-the-
ride basis. Many others OF the
500 900 morning transit customers
tagged busy taxis or hitch-hiked
from loading platforms.
School Attendance Hit.
While the War and Navy Depart
ments, the Civil Service Commission
and the Agriculture Department
were reporting fewer cases OF alb
senteeism and tardiness, the strike
had a more telling effect on school
attendance.
Boise L. Bristor, school board stat
istician, said 80 per cent of the Dis
trict's $1,000 school children were
absent, a rise of II per cent over
the absenteeism two weeks ago.
The decrease was most marked in
vocational and colored high schools
where about rs per cent of the en-
rollment was absent. Explanation
for this may be that these schools
are centrally located and miles away
from the homes of most pupils, off,
cials said.
Another possible ~ cause of the
school absenteeism was the Thanks
giving holiday, which some pupils
doubtless started day early, it was
said.
