WASHINGTON Scene
By George Dixon

bermuda, Oct. 29-It is
- wonderful here in Bermuda,
and so unlike Washington. 1t
rains here. In Washington, as
every resident realizes while
pumping out his cellar, it is one
continuous drought.
They tell $me that the rain
here rs good for the growing
things, and l seem TO have heard
that somewhere before. How
ever, it is very comforting-yes
II is
THERE is a drinking spot here
Il called "2l" which has
simply wonderful idea, although
they tell me Bermudan wives do
not fancy it greatly. 1t has a
telephone arrangement where
by you can call out but no one
can telephone in.
Wish we had a place like that
IN Washington-but we're too
backward.
MIR. JOS EPH OUTER
w BRIDGE. secretary of the
Bermuda Trade Development
Board, told me a lovely story
about Bermuda onions.
Bermuda onions" he said,
"are world famous. We did
eXcellently with them on the
American market. But then the
state of Texas tried to get into
the business.
1T sent delegations over here
to learn the secret of our sue
cess, but we were not co-opera-
tive. They wanted to know how
we raised our seed, but we
wouldn't tell.
"The truth is that we have
never raised our own seed.
Conditions are too salty. We
always bought from Portugal.
We'll, one year we went TO
our regular Portuguese growers
for their annual output, but
they hemmed and hawed and
said they didn't have any. The
truth finally came out that they
had sold II all To Texas.
I'VE went TO other Portuguese
growers and contracted for their
next years crop. But, when we
went TO collect, we found they,
too, had sold out to Texas.
I'VE searched all over to find
growers who would keep their
word. We were desperate.
Finally we found them-and
they are standing nobly behind
US In our onion war with Texas.
"DO you know where we get
all our onion seed now? From
California;
Iguess that proves this 400
mile round trip hasn't been
wasted. l found out about
onions, didn't /?

the expense may not have justi-

from the foremen.
So he called it of, announc-
ing he did so ''in the public
interest" thereby becoming the
first labor leader / can recall
who even claimed he was stop
ping a strike for the public.
This should put him in the i'm
perishable hall of fame. Lewis
is always first in everything.
But here we are again out
in the clean fresh air, Light and
sunshine. Not a bad trip, was
it? You must come along with
me again sometime. Never a

veteran employment officers for
the purpose of establishing a

Superseniori+y

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a -
(LPA)-Superseniority received
another body-blo last week
with an arbitration award which
repudiated the anti-union inter
probation of the Selective Serv-
ice Act by Director Hershey.
Hershey's construc tion of
Memorandum 1904, issued bN
the Selective Service System
and used by anti-labor employ
ers as a union-busting weapon,
was exploded completely by
Dudley f. Whiting, arbitrator in
a dispute between the Dow
Chemical Co, Bay City, Mich,
and the United Auto Workers
CIO.
Not A Rule
The super-se seniority memo
randum, Whiting found, is not
rule or regulation by
which the parties are bound.
The Act does not empower the
Director to promulgate rules or
regulations of that nature and
the Memorandum does not sup
port to be SUCH"
The arbitrator emphasized
that the Selective Service inter
pretationS of the act have little
or no value and that Hershey's
construction of superseniority is
his own invention.

Out Bio Bonuses

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-(LPA)
While thousands of union work
ers throughout the country faced
icy billiards on picket lines and
other thousands prepared to
strike to win pay increases
Wall Streeters were enjoying
Christmas bonuses reminiscent
of the lush 1920's.
Banks, brokerage firms and
some industries found 1945 so
profitable that they handed up
almost unprecented bonuses and
in some cases salary hikes in ad-
dition.
Here are five typical ex-
amples: Bache & Co, employees
of five years standing received
Christmas bonus of six weeks
pay and those with one to five
years employment were given
five weeks wages; S. r. Melvin
& Co, dealer in unlisted secu-
rites, handed each employe a
bonus of 500 of 1943 salary
and also jumped all salaries
245% on Jan. 1; Ira Haupt &
Co. paid a Christmas bonus of
10 weeks salary to employees
with five to 10 years expert
ence; Sartorius Co. paid
bonus of three to four months
to clerical workers with the
company for one year or more;
Goodbody & Co. gave three
months salary to clerical wort-
ers with the firm more than 10
years and 212 months pay to
