Postwar Tips For Shoemen

Boston, March 2.-(UP)-Presi- dent H. o. Rondeau of the New England Shoe and Leather Associa- ton today urged his industry to plan now 60 eliminate snarls in postwar business.
 Rondeau said that the war had forced upon manufacturers and dis tributors the realization that with an even flow of production, business can be profitable despite increased costs and smaller volume.
 He said experts were working on plans to eliminate peaks and val- leys in shoe production. The plans, he added, would:
 1. Eliminate many of the styl- ing errors.
 2, Greatly reduce the time be- tween purchase and delivery dates and insure on-time deliveries.
 3. Reduced the mortality rate of manufacturers and retailers.
 4, Make taxpayers of "cur bus inessmen" who previously did not earn enough to pay taxes.
 5. Give employees the security of a regular weekly wage.
 6. Give the consumer consist ent product of better quality.

City police officers, who have re- ceived orders to crack down on 6 number of offenses, are keeping the city court docket crowded. The lat est offenders to receive strict sur veillance are pedestrians who jay walk, motorists who speed, and mo- torists who have neglected to ob- tain their lo45 inserts.
 Tn city court this morning, two men who were alleged to have crossed central thoroughfare, against lights, and failed to heed police officers signal to return paid $5 each for nolle on a charge of jay-Walking.

FDR Sat To Give s beech
BY FREDERICK Q. OTHMAN

|. Washington, March 9 - (UP) - President Roosevelt, contrary to his practice in the past, addressed Con- greSs sitting down yesterday. He apologized and explained why.
 In one of his rare allusions to the physical disability-the result of in- fantile paralysis-Which makes 1t impossible for him to walk like ether men, the President said the Con- gress would realize that talking while seated makes 1t easier fol mo
 Il was easier, he said, not only be- cause he carried "l0 pounds of steel around the bottom of my legs" but also because he had just completed a 14,000-mile round trip" to and from Yalta.
 The President digressed from his prepared address at the onset to ex. plain why he was sitting down this time Instead Of standing on the ros- trum. He also took note of rumors that he had been i'll.
 Prom the time I left I was not i'll second until I arrived back" the President said, land then I heard all the rumors that had been current"
 The President rolled Into the House chamber in his wheel chair ana transferred to a red plush seat in the ell Of the chamber--the space on the floor just in front of the ros- trum.
 The President unbuttoned his dark blue, double- breasted coat, adjusted the eye glasses which sparkled In the glare of q dozen spotllghts, took q drink of water and immediately began to speak.
 The table in front of him was loaded down with 13 microphones and q jug Of water, which made 1t almost impossible for the listeners in front to see him.
 Directly before him were his cab, tnet members, including secretary of Labor Frances Perkins Next to Madam Secretary sat Harold l.. Ickes, looking glum. Back of the cabinet were the senate IS, and in the rear the 400-odd representatives, with a scattering of ambassadors and ministers on the edges.
 The Presidents first personal ap- pearance at the capitol in more than two years was the occasion for per. hops 100 bluecoats to line them. selves in front of the ancient edifice for secret service men to post them- selves behind almost every pillar, and for workmen to erect steel cables and wooden barricades so that nobody got Inside withuot special ticket.
 The secret service even cleared the press galleries before the speech. Then the reporters with special tickets were permitted to enter again, Five Red Cross nurses in white uni- forms spotted themselves around the crowded public galleries.

Cent Cos Tox Increase Hit

Hartford, March 2-CUP)-The legislature closes its ninth week to- day with a light calendar.
 No major bills were in the imme- diate offing for senate or house ac- tion, but there were prospects of a disagreement later over proposal to set up a state labor relations act. Several bills are before the labor committee covering this subject, one of which has been endorsed by both the CIO and Connecticut Federation of Labor. It resembles the national and the New York state acts.
 Another measure, patterned af- ter the Wisconsin act, stirred @ lively debate at committee hear ing earlier in the week.
 A third bill, from the governors office, was submitted as possible compromise, should the general as- sembly fail to concur on the others. Its principal difference from the other bills was that 1t defines unfair labor practices, both on the part of the workers and employees.
 Meantime, the Automobile Legal association protested proposal of the governor that the gasoline tax be increased one cent gallon after the war. State ALA Manager Charles B. Butler declared that motor vehicle owners should not be called upon to pay an additional $4,000,000 in taxes for the simple reason that they are already over- burdened as 1t is, and will be for years to come"

Dime Royalty On Ton Asked
BY CHARLES II. HERROLD

Washington, March 2. (UP)-The nations soft coal mine owners pre- pared their answer today to the United Mine Workers demand for l0-cent royalty on every tone of bituminous coal mined in this cot,n- try.
 One operator did not wait for a formal reply by the industry; he said the royalty idea was absurd"
 UNIV President John L. Lewis made the demand, together with 10 other requests, yesterday at the start of negotiations for new con- tract to replace the one expiring March 3l. The operators were caught completely off guar dby the un- precedented royalty demand.
 Their formal reply will be given when Lewis finishes telling them, perhaps late at today's session, why he believes his 100000 union mem- bers are entitled to the royalty. On the basis of l944 production, 1t would cost the operators $62 900 a year,
 A UNIV spokesman said Lewis demands, other than the royalty, would mean $1-a-day pay increase for the miners. A spokesman for the operators said it would mean more than $2.
 Lewis told the operators that none of his demands would violate the governments little steel wage stab- ilization formula. Ire labor leader who sent the miners on four strikers in l943 made 1t clear that he meant business with the royalty proposal and he asked the government 10 keep out of the wage negotiations
 Lewis proposed that the "partici- pating royalty" be paid by each pro- fducer to the UNIV lin behalf of Its members" The union would use the funds to provide modern medical and surgical service, disqualification, insurance, rehabilitation and eco- homie protection for its members,
 This they do not now receive" Lewis said. We assert our inten- tion to obtain for them that pro- tection."
 Lewis said the royalty would run
 
 no time to gag over a few million dollars"
 T hope I won't hear anyone in this conference object to this To- cents ton royalty" he said.
 Lewis other principal money" demands were:
 Employers to furnish explosives. accessories and safety equipment and pay for all slate, rock or impur- ities; 10 and i5 cents an hour extra for second and third shifts respec- lively; vacation pay increase from $50 to $l00 year; pay for six holi- days, and full pay for travel time inside the mine.
 The secondary money demands, which will affect workers in various districts. include 80 per 7-hour- day for electricians and mechanics; ap- plication of mobile and conveyor operators rates to all men in mobile and conveyor units; and elimination of existing "inequitable' differentials and between districts.
 The other demands include:
 An indefinite contract but sub- ject to termination on 20 days notice by either party; war veterans re- rights; improved hous- Ing, grievance procedure modified. tions, and the right to cease worl, to prevent shipment of coal to a consumer whose employees are en- gagged in a legal strike.

GREENWICH
 REPLACES 3OO-
 YR. TIMEPIE:CES

London, Nov. 2--CUP)--1reen wich Mean Time, because of the war, is not coming from Greenwich Observatory at all, but from two widely separated stations in the country.
 The accuracy of the time, how ever, remains the same, and is be. ing made even better by the installation of new crystal quartz clocks to replace the pendulum timepieces that have been in use for over 200 years, according to Sir Harold Spencer Jones, the Astron- omer Royal
 The ,hange- over is being made because a quartz crystal clock can be relied upon to about one-thou- sandth of second accuracy in 24 hours, whereas pendulum clock IS accurate within only one to two- hundredths of second, Sir Harold explained.
 Tt is possible nowadays" he said, "to provide time with an ac curacy which few years ago was undreamt of. The war has undoubt- edly hastened developments, but even without war, these develop mentS would have come about. As a matter of fact, I had installed one quartz clock at Greenwich be- fore the present war started, and now We have three in use alto- gether."
 Further refinements may be ex- pected in the future, the Astrono- mer Royal said.
 T think the possibility of giving the 24hour time interval with a precision of one part in a thou sand million is now within sight O. fulfillment," he predicted. When that is achieved 1t will be of im- mense benefit both to industry and navigation. It will provide a means for the proper standardization of a great variety of equipment"
 Sir Harold now keeps tab on the two wartime stations from his house in another part Of Britain, where he has turned one of his bedrooms into an office. He looks more like a soldier than an astron- omer. He Is tall. broad -shoul- dered man of 55. with smooth gray hair and a close-clipped mustache.
 Testing of military equipment goes on continually at the Observ- atory.
 Some O. these tests include the placing of chronometers and watch es in hot ovens or refrigerators," Sir Harold said This Is done be- cause ships and aircraft may oper- ate one day in the tropics or on an- other day in arctic regions. We also test pilots wristwatches in the same way"

Bath Quarrel Proves FotoI

Ocean Springs, Miss, March D. (UP)--Edward s. Borsage, 22, Bi- loxi, Miss, merchant seaman who police said hammered q young di- vorcee to death because she wouldn't let him take a bath before her, was held for murder today.
 Police quoted Borsage as saying he met dark-haired Mrs. Lillian Pierce, 9, in New Orleans Tuesday. He said she was former waitress who told him she had come to New Orleans from Denver, Colo, to mar ry an army sergeant.
 Instead, Borsage said in state- ment to police, she travelling to Ocean Springs with him, and they registered in Q hotel as Mir and Mrs. Johnson of New Orleans.
 Borsage said he had drink, and while he was having q few more Mrs. Pierce said she was going to bathe. Borsage said he told her that he wanted to bathe first. They argued, Borsage said, until he picked up hammer @ bellboy had left in the room.
 "She slapped at me-" Borsage said, "and struck her on the head. She staggered from the bathroom to the bed think hit her again.
 When came to my senses" Borsage's statement continued, T got a towel and wiped her head. I tried to revive her and discovered her dead. I got my whiskey, took a drink, and left"
 Borsage was arrested yesterday at the home of his grandmother in Bayou La Batre, Ala. Mrs. Pierce's body was found in the hotel room Wednesday afternoon, the bloody hammer beside her.
