Sionul Uniformity

One of the battling things that go
to make up Washington's trafiic
problem is the outmoded hand-sig-
nal system prescribed for automo-
bile drivers. If a driver in the Dis
trict extends his left arm hori-
zontally he is making the officially
approved signal for Cd left turn;
(2) right turn; 60 stop. Nearly
everywhere else in the United States
a horizontally extended left arm
signifies only one thing-an inten-
ton to turn left. If the driver in
most other jurisdictions wants to
turn right he extends his arm up
ward, and if he wants to signal a
stop or showdown he extends it
downward.
1t is only natural. therefore, that
many out-of-town drivers. after an
initial experience with local hand
signals, become thoroughly con-
vinced that Washington drivers do
not know where they are going and
do not seem to care. 1t is not the
District drivers who are to be
blamed for these cryptic signs, how
ever. They are a holdover from a
15-year-old signal code once In
favor with traffic authorities but
long since discarded as confusing.
The Traffic Advisory Council pre-
sumably had this background in
mind when it voted to recommend
to the Commissioners that Wash
ington fall in line with other
cities in the matter of hand
signals. The council favors adop-
ton here of the three-postion
system advocated by the National
= Highway Safety Congress and used
by a majority of Americas automo-
bile drivers. The fact that the Ma
tional Capital is a year-round mecca
for motorists from all parts of the
country is a compelling reason for
early adoption here Of the nation
ally prevailing hand-signal system.

for, II not to see to 1t that
the Yalta and Potsdam agreements.
to which Russia is a signatory, are
lived up to? 1t should likewise be
understood that Bulgaria is flooded
with Russian troops and that the
present regime is wholly Moscow
creation. Might not such circum-
stances be classed much more prop
erly under the definition of rude
interference?

Pittsburgh Strike Lesson


and costly conflict, the Pittsburgh
power strike has been settled by a
mutual agreement to arbitrate the
issues in dispute. 1t could have been
settled on the same basis without
any strike had the union been will
ing to accept an Identical arbitra-
ton proposal made by the manage
ment on August "a.
There is not, of course, an exact
parallel between the issues involved
in the Pittsburgh dispute and those
which underlie the hotel dispute
here. But the parallel Is close
enough to suggest the lesson that in
Washington, as in Pittsburgh, arbi-
tration should be and eventually will
be the basis of settlement.
If this assumption is correct, the
Intervention by the Washington
Central Labor Union in the hotel
strike provides a real opportunity
for abandonment of unyielding
attitudes and adoption by the par
ties of the conciliatory approach
essential to an adjustment of their
differences. This prospect is en-
hanced by the designation of Walter
White and John B. Haggerty to
assist Federal Conciliator Clyde
Mills.
There has been no progress to-
ward settlement of the strike since
Representatives of the workers and
management failed last Friday to
agree on the scope Of arbitration.
The management representative
offered to arbitrate the single issue
Of wages, with the range limited to
an arbitration award between the
management offer and the compro-
mise proposal advanced by the Fed
eral conciliator. The spokesman for
the hotels has said that this is
final proposal, and that he will not
bulge from it. This is too narrow
position to maintain.
What Is needed now is a counter
proposal from the union. Which of
the collateral issues-those in addi-
ton to wage rates-are deemed by
the strikers to constitute an essen
tial basis for arbitration?
A committee from the Central
Labor Union is expected to meet
with the District Commissioners on
Thursday. It could make real con-
tribution to the settlement of the
strike by bringing with it, after con-
sultation with the striking unions, a
firm and. specific statement of the
essential issues on which the strik-
ers are prepared to 60 to binding
arbitration.
If the CLU committee we're to
bring into the open a definite and
fair proposal of this sort 1t should
open the door to an early settle
ment. A spokesman for the hotels
says they have lost an estimated
$1,000, 900 already in this strike, and
that they are losing upward OF
S125000 each day that the strike
continues. The economic loss to the
strikers must be relatively as severe,
and the hardship being worked on
the community. while not measur-
able in dollars. is nonetheless real.
Perhaps all of the parties can
stand it little longer, but what is
the sense of that? Eventually this
strike is going to be settled, and
probably by some reasonable arbi-
tration. Why not settle it that way
now?

To the Editor Of The Star:

Questions Report on Alaska
To the Editor Of The star:
The Star for October 20 has brief
article entitled Report on Alaska" And
it starts with: what is it like in
Alaskan And then it goes on to relate
that nine experts few to Alaska in
July to obtain data for congressional
agricultural committee sessions in
January.
The report has to do with the Mata-
nuska Valley settlement and gives a
description of profitable gardens and
dairy farms and the possession Of cars
or trucks, radios, oil stoves, and so forth.
The report goes on to state the evils
of cheap liquor amongst the Indians
and Aleuts, and in this the report Is
correct.
But to one who lived for many years
in Alaska and travelled extensively there
winter and summer, this report seems
wholly inadequate for the purpose of the
jolly July trip, as it is stated In the
article that: "On the testimony of these
specialists will depend how much back
ing Congress will give to future colo
nization and agricultural development
in the Territory"
Alaska is twice the size of the giant
State of Texas and much OF its vast
interior is unexplored and unseen except
from fast-fying planes. The lone mis-
sionaries and traders and sourdoughs
IL H..
winter and canoe in summer are the
best qualified to report on that vast
region. j. v. O'HARE.

Two Laws Remembered

To the Editor Of The Star:
If history repeats, and there is good
authority that 1t does, we are in for "a
boom and bust"
The history referred to is that OF the
infiationary years Of 1920 and the de-
preston that followed. Conditions to-
day (the stage settins) are very similar
to those of that period. Prices of COM
modities are high (absurdly high) and
we again are blaming it on wall Stree"
not on work stoppages which have
halted the wheels of industry all over
the land.
Amid the maze of panaceas and
"cure-alls" for the Ills of the body poll
tic, it seems to the writer that there
are two laws claws Of nature) whose
immutability we will neglect at our
peril: What goes up must come down,
and the law of supply and demand
which always Eventually asserts itself
and controls prices.
