Number OF
New Voters
Not Large
Small Number Due To
Preliminary Registra-
ton In June

The registrars of voters for Cecil
County who were on duty in the var
ious districts, report that only about
one hundred new voters were added
to the lists on the first registration
day, Oct. 1.
The reason assigned for the small
number of new voters, is because a
great majority of them had their
names added to qualified lists at the
pre-primary registration in June, and
by so doing they were eligible to par
ticipate in the primary elections.

Both Sides Expecting
To Ratify Agreement
In Tug Strike Today
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-An agree
ment to arbitrate New York har-
boris tugboat strike was submitted
for ratification today by employers
and union members as spokesmen
for both sides predicted acceptance.
The agreement. reached by COM
mittees representing the owners of
the strikebound companies and the
union, provided:
l. That the $500 tugmen return
to work Immediately on the signing
of an arbitration agreement.
Retroactive Wage Agreement.
2. The wage agreement that may
result from the arbitration would
be retroactive to January !, when
the former agreement was termi-
mated.
3. The Government seizure order
would be lifted after both sides ac-
cepted arbitration.
But Mayor William O'Dwyer, who
announced the agreement last night
after meeting with the committees,
declared the fuel crisis would not
be over even If the strike were
settled. Asked how such a set
tlement would affect the rigid fuel
oil rationing system, established
Saturday, and his executive orders
proclaiming a state of emergency
and closing schools, the Mayor re-
piled:
|. There will be no change. The
emergency won't be over-the strike
won't be settled for me until I see
the necessary amount of fuel in the
CITY,"
Standing by Demands.
Joseph P. Ryan, president Of the
AFL International Longshoreman's
Association, whose United Marine
Division called the strike last Mon
day, declared it was Uncomfortable"
that the tugmen would reject the
agreement. a 4sse.
/ I'VE are standing by our original
demands" he said.
Spokesman for the owners also
predicted they would agree to ar
bitrate the wage dispute.
Today's meeting is the first time
the striking workers were called on
to vote on proposal including the
arbitration factor. They twice pre-
viously rejected proposals to return
to work
The men struck against the New
York Tugboat Owners Association
in demands for a 40 instead of a
48-hour week; increases ranging
from As to IS cents an hour for
licensed employees earning from
s1.10 to S1.52 and a fiat $1.35 an
hour wage for unlicensed workers

100 Million Russians
Vote in First General
Election Since 1887

MOSCOW, FEB. 11.-More than
100, 900 900 ballots we're estimated
today to have been cast yesterday
in Russia's first general election
since 1887 as Russian citizens voted
for deputies to the Supreme Soviet
Parliament).
There was but one political party
participating-the Communists, sole
legal party in Russia. There was
but one issue-continuation of lead
ership by the Communist party and
Premier Stain. And there was only
one candidate for each position.
The only choice open to the in
dividual voter was whether to drop
his folded ballot In the ballot box
unmarked, which meant that he
voted for the candidate whose name
was printed on 1t, or mark of the
name Of the candidate, indicating
a negative vote.
(T1he Moscow radio, heard in
London last night, said Official
returns are not known so far,
but the generally manifested de-
votion to the Bolshevik party and
to Comrade Stain tells by itself
Of the doubtless victory of the
block Of Communists and nom
party people" The broadcast said
not less than 96 per cent of the
electorate voted.)
Final tabulations of the vote
counting of which began when the
polls closed at midnight, probably
will be delayed several days be-
cause of the vast distances involved

Union Waits GIN Offer
On Wages; 184 Gents
Called insufficient
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Feb. 1.-THE CIO
United Auto Workers today awaited
an increased wage offer that Gen.
eral Motors Corp. is reported to
have ready, but union strike leaders
showed little disposition to agree
to the 1871 cent hourly raise that
has settled other labor disputes.
AS the National Labor Relations
Board resumed its hearing on
charges that GIN failed to bargain
in good faith, union and corpora
ton officials planned to go back
to their negotiations aimed at set
tlement of the 83-day strike.
Indications of the imminence Of

which the corporation settled Satur-
day with CIO United Electrical

who evinced dissatisfaction with the
idea.

General Motors, whose highest
wage proposal to date has been a
1871 cent increase, made no COM
ment on the predicted new offer as
it went back into Federal Court to
resume the NLRB hearing, recessed
late in January after two days of

Workers Are Neutral
On Price Of Steel, Clio
Attorney Maintains
BY the Associated pr,s,.

By the Associated Press.
A CIO official told Senators to-
day that striking steel workers have
taken no stand on the request for
an increase in steel prices.
THAT Is an issue between the steel
industry and authorized Govern
ment agencies" Lee FRESHMAN, gen.
eral counsel for the Congress of In
dustrial Organization, told the Sem
ate Labor Committee.
Mr.. Pressman opposed enactment
of the ADMINISTRATORS finding
legislation or various substitutes for
it, including the drastic antistrike
bill passed by the House.
He said that CIO President Philip
Murray and the steel workers had
taken no position either for or
against higher steel prices.
Increases Linked to Prices.
Several Senators, including FL
lender, Democrat, of Louisiana; Ball,
Republican, of Minnesota and
Smith, Republican, of New Jersey,
said they believed that the issue
|of pay increases and higher prices
are linked together.
Mr.. PreSsman said the steel work.
ers proved they needed a pay raise,
are entitled to it, and that the steel
companies could pay It,"
Senator Ellender said that steel
workers had received hourly pay in
creases of 151a cents an hour dur
ing the war. He said that this, plus
the additional 1871 cents now re-
quested. would add 100000 900 a
year to industry costs.
The industry, Mr. Pressman said,
acquired 100000 tons capacity of
new, modern equipment during the
war to replace old high-cost ma
chinery; that prices of nonwar steel
products had gone up 100000, 900
during the war, and that the in
dustry must operate at near full
capacity in 1916 and 1947.
Quotes OPA Estimate.
The CIO attorney quoted an OPA
estimate that the industry needed
to operate at only So per cent of
capacity after the war to avoid
losing money.
This OPA estimate added, Mr..
Pressman said, that with operation
at rs per cent, the steel industry
would net $120,000,000 a year and
$4,000, 900 at 80 per cent capacity.
Mr.. Pressman said that in the
1936-1939 prewar era the steel in
dustry averaged $66 6,00o,00 yearly.
The union spokesman said the
steel workeds did not know If
these industry gains would offset
cost of the pay increase, adding
this was problem for Government.
Senator Smith said the CIO auto
workers in the General Motors strike
maintained they wanted no wage.
increase if auto prices are increased.
''It seems to us this is incon-
sistent with the CIO steel workers"
Senator Smith said, explaining that
a steel price rise would, increase
auto costs and prices. .-..
Denies Inconsistency.
Mr. sPressman said he and Presi-
dent AfmI4y of the steel workers
did no6eard this as inconsistent
because zach CIC union advanced
"its own arguments" for wage in
creaSes. se.t
Senator Ball said there is ample
evidence to show that wage and
price increases are related in Gov
ernment attempts to adjust the steel
strike.
1--WE can't find out what the Gov
ernment is doing or even if it has a
policy" the CIO witness said.
