SfeeIworkers Will Ask
Annual Pay Guarantee
In AIcoa Negotiations
sx the Assoeieted Press

PITTSBURGH, Dec. flames
Thimmes, vice president of the
CIO United Steelworkers, said
today that a Substantial wage
increase" and guaranteed annual
wage will be among the demands
presented to the Aluminium Co.
of American at contract negotia-
tions starting tomorrow.
He said the union also will seek
an improved vacation plan," health
and welfare foundation and union
shop. The present contract, expir-
ing Friday, provides for mainte-
nance of union membership.
The contract demands were dis
cussed generally at a meeting of
the unions Negotiating Committee
yesterday. Mr.. Thimmes said more
specific demands would not be dis
closed until after the unions Wage
Policy Committee meets December
Is and 10 to shape demands to be
presented to all the Nations steel
plants under contract with the CIOI
union.
Probably VIII Extend Contract.
Mr.. Thimmes said that since cer-
tain demands like the wage increase
and amount of guaranteed annual
pay will not be known until the
wage committee acts, the union will
aegotiate with the aluminium COM
pany on other points and probably
extend the contract until after the
committee meeting.
THE amount of the general wage
increase will be left open until after
the committee acts" he said.
Mr.. Thimmes explained that the
guaranteed annual wage will be
built on the basis of "52 weeks pay |
In a year."
In discussing the wage increase
to be sought for steel workers gen.
orally, Philip Murray, CIO presi-
dent said here Saturday night that
the mill employees "are making
$1304 less, according to the actual
value of the dollar, than they were
making in April of 1945."
Steel Profits Cited.
1--WE are not asking for imitation"
he told a meeting of union district
officials. ''We think the steel in
dustry can make substantial pay in
creases without necessarily increas-
ing the cost of their commodity"
''It is anticipated that in the next
quarter steel profits will amount to
SIPS, 900, 900. This next year will be
the greatest steel year in history.
Therefore the industry is in a posi-
ton to make these increases.
The steelworkers' present contract
with the aluminium company, signed
in June of 1945, covers about $4,000
workers in 16 plants. It was the
first negotiated with Alcoa since
merger of the CIO aluminium work
ers with the United Steelworkers in
1914.
Plants involved are at Alcoa,
Tenn; Badin, N. c.; Bauxite. Ark;

on the issue Of whether municipali-

and bargain collectively with them.
Mr. Mattison, who is city attorney
of Milwaukee, declared that the
right to strike in public employment
has been denied In so many juris-
dictionS that 1t was no longer open
to question. He said neither the
injunction or compulsory arbitration
appeared to be the solution to labor
problems Of cities but called on the
conference to help propose some sat-
isfactory solution.
Two speakers, Thomas L. Parson-

pioned the labor unions.

what we have been going
through" he said, "is trying to pre-
vent workers from getting increased
pay instead Of helping to solve
their problem"
"If we stop hiding our heads IN
the sand leaving the rest of us ex-
posed for punishment, perhaps we
can stop strikes and not keep these
workers enslaved."
He proposed that grievance COM
mittees of employees and manage
ment members be set up to make
recommendation in labor contro-
versies. Recommendations of these
committees, he said, should be pub
lished and solution of the contro-
versy left to the pressure of public
opinion.
Mr.. Helmke said Fort Wayne
recognized organized labor among
Fcity employees, bargained with them,
raised wages, improved conditions
and had had no strikes.

Toast Guard searches
For -Four Small Boats
Caught in Bay Winds
BY The Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 2. Coast
Guard air-sea rescue craft pressed a
search of Chesapeake Bay today for
four small vessels caught by high
winds.
Officers said eight persons were be-
lieved aboard three of the boats. The
fourth was abandoned, and its pas
sengers were believed to have rowed
ashore.
A cabin cruiser, with four persons
aboard, was reported aground near
the western terminus of the Mata-
peake-Sandy Point Ferry. Coast
Guard personnel said no trace of it
could be found after an all-night
search.
Michael Boniarski. "a, and Henry
Krajewski, both of Baltimore. were
aboard second boat, the 20-foot
cruiser Dottie, last heard from when
she left Middle River yesterday
morning for Sandy Beach, about an
hours trip.
D. D. Donnelly and a companion
were aboard another boat, which
left the mouth of the Magothy
River yesterday afternoon. When
no word had been received by this
morning, Mr.. Donnelly's son, John F.
Donnelly, Annapolis, requested a
Coast Guard search.
Still another cruiser, the Wace-
able, ran aground last night off Bal
timore Light. Coast Guardsmen
said Younger Council, Thomas
Chase and DR.. Clyde Karns were
aboard when the craft ran out of
fuel between Kent Island to the
Magothy River. DR.. Karns and Mr..
Chase rowed ashore in the dinghy
but the cruiser struck bottom short
ly after they left and began taking
on water badly.
Mr.. Council, a University Of Vir-
ginia student, then swan 100 yards
to shore but the boat was nowhere
to be found when the Coast Guard
vessel reached the area.

whether it would be necessary to use

Senator Bilbo injected the con-
troversal issue of cross-examinatino
in a last-minute request to the COM
mittee.
The request was made after the
five Senate committee members be-
gan to arrive last night, and is
understood to have provoked sharp
difference of opinion.
The hearings are being held In a
Federal courtroom, above the Jack
son post Office. The corridors out
side were crowded early with spec
tators, waiting for admission. but
the hearing room was kept closed
until the committee arrived.

Senator Bilbo is surrounded by
political friends and attorneys as
the curtain rises on the first of two
separate Senate inquiries he faces
this fall.
The second is the Senate War
Investigating Committees hearings
on Senator Bilbo's alleged financial
transactions with war contractors
several years ago, which is scheduled
to open in Washington December

The hearings here will be con-

The committee ordered the hear

Chairman Ellender said on his
arrival from his home in Louisiana
last night that he understands some
Negroes were not permitted to reg
lister. He said they should be called
in to find out why they were not reg
istered. He said the same thing
may have happened as to voting.
"I understand that in some coun-
ties quite a few colored people who
presented themselves were told to
come back later, and when they
did come back later were pretty
roughly handled" Senator Ellender
continued.
The chairman also told reporters
that committee investigators found
-four or five cases of violence"
An authoritative source said, how
ever, there Is nothing in the re-
ports of the committee investiga-
tors to show-that Senator Bilbo had
any connection with these alleged
instances.
Senator Elender said he under
stands that quite few people from
outside the State are clamoring to
testify" but he made it clear he
still believes the hearings should
not be opened to nonresidents.
"If the people of Mississippi can't
prove a case against Senator Bilbo,
I don't see why we should go out
side the State" he said, adding that

purse Saturday night and added
that they had recovered the clasp
of purse from the fireplace.
Neighbors told police that they
had seen Bronson, who had been
dismissed by Mrs. Davidson about
a year ago, in the apartment house
Friday, when he told them that he
wanted to see his former employer
about buying radio.
Police said they arrested the man
at 10 o'clock last night at his home.
Mrs. Davidson, widow, had
managed the apartment house since
the death of her husband in 1910.
Police believed that she admitted
her assailant to the apartment.
They based this theory on the fact
that her apartment was carefully
protected against entry with sew
eral locks and chains on the doors
ard heavy window screens.
Mrs. Davidson's jewelry was found
intact and hillfold containing SGT
was discovered untouched in small
locked safe.
Police said this was the time of
month that Mrs. Davidson started
collecting rents and they advanced
the possibility that her slayer took
this money.
Discovered by Present Janitor.
Mrs. Davidson's body was discov-
cred by Major Henderson, 26-year-
old colored janitor of the building,
and Mrs. John Zorb, tenant. The
janitor said he had gone to Mrs.
Davidson's apartment to get two
furnace gauges for repairman and
became suspicious when there was
no answer to his knock He then
called Mrs. zorb, who had a pass
key.
They found the dead woman on
the living room floor witt the letter
opener in her chest. The killer
had stabbed her twice, one thrust
penetrating the lower lobe Of her
left lung, and the second severing
the main artery from the heart. Two
slash wounds were found on Mrs.
Davidson's left arm, indicating she
had tried to ward off the attack.
From the account given by Hen
derson, who said he had last seen
Mrs. Davidson early Saturday eve
ming, police believe that she was
killed later that night. Coroner A.
Magruder Macdonald said an ex-
animation showed that she had
eaten about an hour before her
death.
When discovered, she was clad in
a plaid housedress and apron. The
horn-rim glasses she wore were not
broken.
Was Friendly and Kind.
Neighbors described Mrs. David
son as friendly and kindly woman.
She is survived by twin stepsons
here, Francis A. and Alfred E.
Davidson, sons of her late husband,
A. F. Davidson, a native of London
and graduate of oxford. Alfred
Davidson said he last saw her about
10 days ago.
He said that Mrs. DAVIDSON nad
a good income from the apartment
house during the last few years,
but that she did not carry large
sums of money with her.
Mrs. Davidson came to the Wash
ington area in 1916 with her hus-
band and soon afterward purchased
farm i, CovinptOn Va. The farm
was sold later and the couple moved
to Oxon Hill, Md. They purchased
the Southeast apartment house in
1926.
Mrs. Davidson was married In
1916, two years after the death of
her first husband, Joseph Cramer.
