 tho building tradesman-is not-is mystery to me, and to all build ing tradesmen. The mystery be- comes even greater when it is real ized that every painting contractor in Greater New Haven with which the Union deals agreed to the va cation with pay contract. Since the contractors agreed to this princi- pie, fail to see why the Wage Ad- justment Board turned it down. Even less do l understand why the labor members of the Board voted against us."
 kreas pointed out that the War Labor Board, which sets broad policy in regards to problems of wages and working conditions, is guided by the principle of vacations with pay for all workers, and has never announced any exceptions.
 "The decision of the Board that va cations with pay are impracticable in the building and construction trades is astonishing" Kreas said. "The plan which we worked out with the con tractors is simple one, and is very practicable. If 1t is impracticable, the contractors would have been the first to raise this point. It is surprising that the contractors, who would be affected daily by the vacation plan. considered 1t practicable, but the Wage Adjustment Board considered it impracticable. Again, it is even more surprising that the labor mem bers of the Board went along with the other members of the Board on this point"
 Kreas pointed out that the Wage Adjustment Board was one of the Federal Governments agencies de- signed to control wages, and prevent imitation.
 Our Government has already ruled that vacations with pay for workers are permissible under the Little Steel formula, and are non- inflationary. This was the only point for the Wage Adjustment Board to decide. The government has ordered vacations with pay even where employers objected, and always permits them where there is voluntary agreement. The Wage Adjustment Board went out of its province, when it decid- ed that building iradesmen may not have paid vacations because vacations with pey in the building trades are not customary and i'm. practicable. In this case they were not called upon to decide these is- sues."
 The appeal to be taken by Lo- cal l86 will be prosecuted with all the resources at its command. Le- gal counsel will be retained.
 O.K.'d by State Council
 The paid vacation plan of No. 186 has been unanimously endorsed by the Connecticut State Building and Con. Trades Council, which has recommended that all its affiliates in such a plan in its contracts when they are up for renewal.
 Business Agent Dennis P. Bynnes of Bridgeport Painters No. 19O, is now signing up the Bridgeport painting contractors for the plan, and Hartford has already done so. Copies of the plan have been called for by building trades locals in various parts of the country. That the appeal will be watched with national interest is foregone con- clusion, since the final decision in

When company and the un- ion representing its employees vol untarily agree upon wage increase and jointly apply to the War La bor Board for approval of the raise, neither party may withdraw the application without the consent of the other, the New England WLB ruled today in ordering the B.

was one of the jeeps purchased

that their contribution to Uncle

ing increase Of population in

Rockville Fire
Is Spectacular;
Woman Rescued
Firemen Have Busy Two
Weeks - Ten Calls Are
Listed

A spectacular fire in Rockville
just before noon Tuesday fur
nished thrills aplenty-flames and
smoke gushing from windows,
sirens sounding, crowds running,
the rescue of an aged woman
from a second story window by
firemen-all in good thriller fash
ion.
The house, one of the oldest in
town, owned by the estate of the
late Bernard Poss, was Quilted by
the fire and its contents COM
pletely destroyed. 1t was occu-
pied by four families. The wom-
an, Mrs. Eveline Davis, 78 years
old, was assisted from a second
story apartment by Marbery
Gates, president of the Rockville
Volunteer Fire Department, Bill
Burrows, and Leonard Beall, who
carried her down a ladder to
safety. Five adults and eight
children were lin the house when
the fire was discovered in the
kitchen of Mrs. Lindall Ward
who lived on the ground floor.
Mrs. Ward narrowly escaped
being injured by the falling cell
ing.
Chevy Chase fremen helped
the Rockville department fight thu
flames for several hours and kept
it from spreading to the ada
cent buildings. 1t is thought that
defective flue was the cause
of the fire which caused loss
of approximately $1,000.

give to its community is the de-

common interest among the small

people work in Washington and
sleep in Montgomery County. If
the newspapers can make these
people conscious of the fact that
they LIVE in Bethesda or Ia
koma or Silver Spring, they will
have justified their existence as
something more than advertising
sheets. Give them something to
be proud OTTO brag about-and
they will talk about living in
Bethesda or Takoma or Silver
