BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. '27.-New
York's vast transit system-normal
means of travel for millions-op-
Grated today for the first time in a
week free of the threat of strike.
Basis of the labor peace was the
withdrawal by Michael ]. Quilts
CIO Transport Workers Union of
demand for collective bargaining
rights for the $4,000 employees on
the municipality owned subways,
trolleys, elevated and bus lines.
Instead, the union, in a pact
signed by Mr.. Quill and Mayor Will
liam ODwyer, agreed to submit its
demands for wage increases and i'm
proved working conditions to a five
man inquiry board. The union also
seeks a $2-a-day wage increase.
Mr.. Quill hailed the agreement
as a "Statesmanlike formula" for
solution of his unions demands.
The agreement was reached early
yesterday, but its announcement
was withheld by the Mayor until

Ford-UAW Contract,
Giving 1S-Cent Raise,
Awaits OK by Locals

DETROIT Feb. 27.-A new con-
tract, believed by the Ford Motor
Co. to herald improved labor re-
lationships," will go into force be-
tween the company and the CIO
United Auto Workers as soon as the
unions locals give their approval.
About 100000 Ford workers
throughout the country gain an 1S-
cent hourly wage increase under
terms Of the agreement, signed last
night by management and union
officials. Also included In the con-
tract, to continue in effect until May
30, l947, are clauses providing union
and company security.
Announcement of the Ford sign
ing came as UAW negotiators met
again with the General Motors Corp.
in an effort to settle a strike of u.s.
600 production workers now in its
99th day.
Other Issues Caused Delay.
The Ford wage increase, a COM
promise of the unions original de-
mand for SO per cent increase, was
agreed to by both parties January
26, but other contract problems
forced continuation of negotiations
until last night.
Richard T. Leonard, head of the
unions negotiators, said the agree
ment would be submitted to the
locals soon.
Under the maintenance member
ship agreement, according to John
S. Bugas, Ford director of industrial
relations, the union "llas under
taken to control it's membership
and prevent illegal work stoppages. "
Penalty for Illegal Strikes.
THE contract provides that any
employe found guilty of instigating
fomenting or actively supporting or
giving leadership to illegal work
stoppages is to be subject to dis
charge" Mr.. Bugas said.
Ford officials previously had esti-
mated the pay raise would cost the
company $38,000,O00 annually. The
increase boosts average earnings of
Ford production workers to $139
per hour, and the company's other
hourly-rated workers will receive
s137.
Mr. Leonard said the increase
would be retroactive to January s

NlMRODS RETURN
FROM DEER HUNT
Three Men Bag Semper
Deer In Drive On St.
Vincents Island

A story Of venison on the hoof,
and in the ice box to make the To-
cal Nimrod's mouths ooze, was
told Tuesday by e. P. Goodwin who
returned from a deer hunt in Flori-
da.
Goodwin who with Hayes W. Beat
ty, Ivanhoe and Willis johnson and
R. M. Carr, Wallace, hunted on
st. Vincents Island, off the coast
in the Gulf of Mexico, for a week,
reported a dressed 1925 pound Sam
per deer bagged and brought back
to the Port City intact. This, God
win says is a.small sample of the
specie.
Human instinct in tracking the
Semper down, instead of dog
chases was given as the feature of
the different kind of hunting" de-
scribed by Goodwin.
Goodwin. explained that the Sem
per will not normally compare with
local deer in size. Although the is
land abounds with native deer,
they are dwarfed by the Semper
tribe. The average native dee.
weighs around 1875 to $50 pounds
dressed. The largest known ap-
proximating 200 pounds.
Goodwin explained how Johnsoa
and Carr actually killed the giant
deer, one shooting from the rear,
the other from the front. The huge
animal was stored at the Whining
ton Cold Storage company
until yesterday when it was remov'
ed to Wallace.
The Island which is situated ir
the Gull of Mexico also abound:
with wild boar and wild cattle as
well as native deer, Goodwin said.

annual tournament in Tabor City,
prospects are very bright for an
exceptionally strong team. He has
practically every member Of his
entire squad back tor further COM
petition, including the complete
starting lineup.
The lassies won a great percent
age of their battles during last
season, besides capturing the Co
lumbus title, but expect to run into
much sitter competition during the
coming schedule. Then, too, they
will come up against more outside
opponents than they have during
the past few seasons; already hav-
ing games booked with teams from
Laurinburg tentative), Lumberton,
Fairmont and others, besides play
ing the regular county ticket.
Drills have been held twice week
ly for the past month, during the
regular gym period, but will be
