"I don't like him because he won't
give anybody coal and pretty soon
our radiator won't work." she said.

10 Vote
To Be Debated
Public Hearing Dec. Is
To Determine Virginia
Franchise for 4 500

"A decision on the issue Of permit
ting the 4,500 Government girls at
Arlington Farms to vote in Vir-
ginia will hinge largely on the out
come of a public hearing set for
p.m., December Is. it was disclosed
today.
Ralph M. Kimble, secretary Of the
County RediStricting Committee,
said the hearing would be held at
the courthouse and the question of
including Arlington Farms In one
Of the voting precincts Is due to be
discussed.
Although the residents Of Arling-
ton Farms are required to pay Vir-
ginia taxes under terms Of an act
OF Congress, they have not been
permitted to vote in Arlington.
Charles r. Fenwick, chairman Of
the court appointed Redistricting
Committee, said that the matter Of
including the Federal area would be
considered" by his group. He said
that a definite decision would not
be made until after the public hear
ing.
The committee will submit its re-
port to Judge Walter T. Mccarthy
of the Arlington Circuit Court.
Judge Mccarthy said today that he
hoped" the committee would in
clude Arlington Farms.
It was recalled by old county res
idents that the Arlington Farms
area, for years site of the Agri-
culture Department experimental
farms, was at one time included in
the Rosslyn voting precinct and
that the few persons who lived on
the farm cast their ballots at
Rosslyn. The area was left out OF
the precinct, however, in a re-
districting some years ago.

Meafcutfers Accept
70 Pei. Pay Boost,
Ending Strike Threat

Washington area meatcutters OF
three grocery chains were on the
job as usual today, assured wage
increases averaging 20 per cent after
accepting new contracts.
What could have turned into a
paralyzing food store strike ended In
complete harmony at an overflow
meeting at SIS New Jersey avenue
NV. last night when leaders OF the
Amalgamated Meatcutters and
Butcher Workers, Local SIS (AFL),
urged the 200 members to accept
the terms.
Although the three contracts
varied, apprentices and journeymen
meatcutters will get up to is cents
an hour more and wages Of head
meatcutters and market managers
will be increased up to SIS week.
An effort to trim the work week
from As to 40 hours failed, but the
companies agreed to abandon the
practice of having meatcutters show
up for work Is minutes early. Un-
der the new contracts. head meat
cutters and market managers will
draw UP to 500 q week.
Business Agent w. F. Strong, who
advised the members to ratify the
contracts, said retail clerks and
store managers were meeting at the
same time at Turner's arena, ready
to support the butchers If they had
decided to strike last night.
, A strike decision would have closed
all Safeway, A. g. p. and American
Stores in the Washington area, Mr.
Strong said.
He said the union was satisfied
with the provisions and credited
Federal Conciliators Lucien F. Rye
and James Holden with helping
work out a formula that averted
strike.
The union had filed 30-day strike
notice and was prepared to walk
out If any of the three contracts
was rejected.
The members Of Local SIS were
overflowing into the union hall
aisles when Mr.. Strong put the
contract matter to vote. They
unanimously agreed to accept.

Former U. 5. Employees
In Top Brackets Failing
To Find Jobs Here

Former Government employees
who held down 5000 to $4,000 jobs
in Federal departments during the
war are spending an average of two
months trying to get another Gov
ernment job and then going home
disappointed, the United States En-
plcyment Service Office here reported
today.
In its monthly report to employ
ers, the USES reported that fair
sized group" of applicants who for
merly held Government classifica-
tions from CAF-7 to CAF-13 are
trying to find work here.
Few opportunities now are avail
able In the Federal service for such
workers. and private employment in
this area offers even less in salaries
Of this level" the report said.
Indications are that most of
these types of applicants stay in
the area for a. period of about two
months seeking employment with
the Government In an effort to SAL
wage some of the advances they
earned during war years.
Some accept the best offers they
are able to obtain either with Gov
ernment or private employers, but
most leave for their home COM
munities after unsuccessful attempts
to find work at salaries approach
ing their former Government jobs. .
The large cuts in Government
payrolls also has produce sur
plus of clerks, the USES reported,
but typists and stenographers still
are in demand. The Government
has openings for the latter and
private employers continue to ask
for competent stenographers.
The greatest demand at present
is for 1000 temporary post office
workers for the Christmas rush
and for workers to take care Of
holiday crowds in local stores.
On the books of the USES are
q number of untitled jobs for spe-
cialists, some wanted by the Gov
ernment and some by other COM
munities. In demand are cera-
mic engineers, material engineers,
licensed pharmacists, graduate
nurses, seismologists. physiothera-
pists, cabinet makers, book binders,
boiler makers, sheet metal workers,
Office machine servicemen and Ger
tain types Of. skilled construction
