Court Action Planned
To Settle Price Of
Training School Site

Court proceedings to determine
the final price arrangements for the
purchase of Jolly Acres" near
Laurel, Md. for use by the Districts
National Training School for Girls,
will be instituted by the Justice De-
partment in Baltimore next month
Welfare Director Ray L. Huff said
yesterday that he had been in
formed.
Condemnation proceedings on the
land. now owned by the Lutheran
Inner Mission Society of Baltimore,
began several months ago.
Congress appropriated $1,000 for
the acquisition of the site and last
year approved $4,000 additional
for the purchase Last year, the
District government asked the War
Department to appraise the prop
erty. 1t was set roughly at $4,000,
but at that time this sum was re-
ported to be only one-third of the
amount asked for the property.
Depends on Jury Trial.
If, at the jury trial in Federal
Court in Baltimore, it is decided
that the price of the property should
should be above 100000, the Board
of Public Welfare would have to
return to Congress for additional
funds before the training school
could be moved
Plans for the move have been
under way for more than year now
1t is proposed to move the training
school now located at $500 Little
Falls road NV. to the Maryland
site and to transfer the Industrial
Home School, where Mr.. Huff re-
Gently declared conditions we're bad,
to the present training school build
ings.
The Industrial Home School, 2453
Wisconsin avenue NV, has been
condemned frequently as obsolete,
and after committee from the Dis
trict Federation of Women's Clubs
charged that it was eft only for
demolition" Mr.. Huff agreed that
conditions are bad. facilities obso-
lete, and segregation not adequate"
The Navy has requested use of the
land where the Industrial Home
School now is.
Plans of Welfare Board.
Plans by the Welfare Board call
for removal of the Industrial Home
School to the training school by fall,
if the Maryland site is acquired.
The Commissioners already have
$4,000 for improvement of build
ings now on the Maryland site.
The home school would occupy
the training school buildings only
until it is possible to build a new
|children's center planned for con-
struction in the vicinity of Laurel.
This center would house the In
dustrial Home School for White
Children, the National Training
School for Girls, and the District
Training School, now located at
Laurel.

Plan Evolved ToCutStrikes
 Union Recognition
 Proposal Developed

Washington, Nov. 12- (UP) - A committee of the labor manage ment conference has agreed tenta- lively on plan designed to lessen and perhaps eliminate the hundreds of strikes over union recognition, 1t was learned today.
 Tn brief, the proposal would give employers a greater voice in peti- tioning the National Labor Rela- tions Board for elections among their workers to determine union representation.
 The plan, developed by the com mittee on representation and juris- dietional disputes, is aimed at dis putes which arise from these two causes:
 l. Where a union claims bar gaining rights in a plant in which no collective bargaining agreement exists.
 2. Where an employer, upon the expiration of contract, doubts that union continues to represent the majority of his employees.
 In neither case can an employer now petition the NLRB for a repre- sentation election, thereby having no way to Forestall strikes to force recognition. At the present time, an employer can request such an elec- tion only If two or more unions claim to be the bargaining agent.

By THE OUT EASTER

We knew James J. Ferriter of l43 South street, a police officer who died within the week or so. Like all of his many friends, we felt sorry and sad, by reason of our respect and admiration for the man.
 There was certainly something about the makeup of Jim Fer riter most appealing. We found this out almost at our first meet ing He never put on; he was just the same sort of person as a policeman as he was before he entered the department. The late Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile in- formed us years ago that Jim Ferriter, in his opinion, was one of the best versed individuals on Irish history he had ever met And Frank Guilfoile's knowledge of the subject was never excelled, we always thought, by anyone hereabouts. We always felt Prank Guilfoile was the most intellect ual person in Waterbury.
 Born in Ireland, Jim Ferriter was just "a bit of a lad, when he came to this country around 40 years ago. But he was healthy, strong and husky He went with the Mfgs Foundry down South Waterbury way, where he served his time, and left as full fledged iron moulder. From here he went 10 the Wterbury Farrel foundry, where he continued at his trade until he joined the police depart ment. As rookie policeman, he followed the routine course of procedure, and patrolled the high ways during the night season. Later he was transferred to a day post, and eventually was ad- vanced to the office of sergeant. This position carries with 1t, con- tact with the every day and night patrolman. The sergeant D aced along until he meets the policeman face to face sometimes in the days of the past, the post officer used to blush at the presence of the roundsman. But none of the present day cops had to blush when they encountered Sergeant Ferriter, or for that matter, any of the other present day officers of the same rank. Times have changed since the force had only three sergeants on its roster.
 "The average cCp Is all right" Jim used to say He Knows his beat, and knows his people far better than we dc"
