HATTIESBURG, Miss, Dec. A.
Walter H. Sheriff., 29. chose today
to pay $4.610 toward the support of
a dead mans 10 children rather
than accept 2-to-20-year prison
sentence for manslaughter.
Sheriff. was convicted by jury
in connection with the death of
John D. Gardner, killed Septem-
ber 13 in a traffic accident. County
Judge William HARRISON gave the
defendant the alternative of con-
tributing $5 monthly to the support
of each of the Gardner children
until they reach the age OF 18. The
first payment is to be made within
a month.
If Sheriff. carries out the agree
ment he will complete payments
in 1861 when Robert, the youngest
Gardner child, reaches his 18th
birthday. If Sheriff. fails to COM
ply with the decision he is subject
to routine prison sentence, the
judge said.
Said Mrs. Gladys Gardner, widow
of the traffic victim:
"I can't go out and work, myself,
because by the time you get break
fast for 10 children and of them
are packed off to school. there isn't
much time to do anything, else"
Veterans Likes Verdict.
The II Gardners live about Is
miles north of Hattiesburg in an un-
painted three-room house. Tattered
canvas covers two paneless windows.
Mrs. Gardner said that the
family's sole source of income since
her husbands death has been the
$50 a week earned by her 16-year-
old son. John. who works in a Hat
tiesburg bakery.
Said Sheriff., an Army veteran OF
more than four years, service in
the Pacific: q :! 80
I'm satisfied. I think it is the
best decision ever made by Judge"
Sherrilps cheerfulness dimmed
when a newspaper photographer at
tempted to snap his picture upon
leaving the courtroom. The broad
shouldered defendant first threat
ened to smash the photographers
camera, then reconsidered and al
lowed the picture.
The Hattiesburg American has re-
ceived three IS bills from anony-
NOUS contributors to Sherrills un-
common debt. Two of the contri-
butors were veterans and the other
was a man who lust wanted to
help"
The judges offer was accepted
when Sheriff. came into court today

{ indian Congress Held
Planning 10 Torpedo
hoslem Separation
by the Assoc;ufsd srsss

! LONDON, Dec. 14.--Mahomed Ali
eJinnah, Moslem League president,
today accused the rival All-India
Congress of preparing to torpedo
completely" league demands for di-
:. vision Of India into separate Moslem
and Hindu nations--a step Jinnah
- asserted was fundamental to aclliev-
ing Indian independence.
He rejected British attempt to
resolve the Hindu -Moslem differ
ences by submitting disputed sec
tions of the Labor governments
plan for independence to an Indian
federal court. Il will trust no court
to decide on point like this he
said.
Jinnah, who claims to be the
spokesman for 100000, 900 Indian
Moslems, made the statements at a
news conference prior to his de-
parture for India, where q constit-
uent assembly is attempting to
draw up charter for Indian in
dependence. Jinnah declared the
Moslems would not participate in
that assembly until "the congress is
prepared to accept the long-term
scheme"
Insists on Separation.
He declared that division Of India
into Hindustan and Pakistan was
"the only practical way" Of solving
the formidable problem of Indian
independence and added:
THE sooner Britain decides that
the better. We wish the Hindus
Godspeed. Go ahead and frame your
constitution for Hindustan. Go
ahead, and let us frame constitu-
tion for Pakistan."
He charged congress leaders with
attempting to "overrule another
nation" the Moslem minority, and
said there must be some condi-
tions in the scheme which will pre-
vent a brute majority from taking
the bit in its mouth and running
away"
Jinnah warned of possible further
communal strife which has already
claimed thousands of lives in India
and said IF his majesty's govern
ment and Parliament do not realize
the gravity of the situation and
handle this issue boldly and frankly,
I am afraid that things will get
worse"
Has Hope in Parliament.
He said he did not share the
British governments views that this
weeks debate on Indian affairs in
the House of Commons might
jeopardize the independence move
ment.
II feel light is dawning on the
tremendous mess that already has
been made, and I think Parliament
is in a better position now with re-
gard to some of the facts than they
were all these months" he said.
The congress has agreed to SUBJ
init to Interpretation by a. federal
court of a troublesome section of
the Indian independence plan per-
tanning to a grouping of provinces
that would give the Moslems semi
autonomy. The federal court Is
made up of Hindus, Moslems and

Newsprint Shortage Menace
To Labor Press In New York

New York-(FP). = Problem of a
newsprint shortage is plaguing labor
paper editors in the city, forcing de-
lays in publication and reductions in
size of the papers, the Guild Reporter
newspaper of the American Newspap-
er Guild disclosed. March %.
While plants publishing labor pap
ers had fraternal and religious pub
locations are unable to get as much
paper as in 1915, the Newsprint Ser
vice Bureau revealed production for
the first two months of 1916 was up
21.9% over the same 1945 period and
stocks at North American mills were
up sharply over year ago. Daily pap
ers, meanwhile, had sufficient paper
for usual needs.
First publications hit by the news
print shortage were the Advance,

of Electrical Workers, the Hat Work
ers, United Hatters Cap & Millinery

UNIV Offers Cool Industry
Negotiable Suggestion"

1t won't do any more. The industry
is able to do something about it now.
It's operating at high volume, paying
excess profits. Your costs are loaded
with everything you can put in them.
We know what they are as we'll as
you."
Picturing the need of cooperation
within the industry, Mr.. Lewis said:
"We think there are many coal
operators in the industry who have
made a great investment in building
up collective bargaining that helps
to equalize competition in an industry
where labor costs is an important cost
and we think that far-sighted and
sound thinking men in the industry
on the operating side want stable
conditions and peace and mutual CO.
operation and increased production
and lower unit costs. That is what
we are asking for here now and that
is what we are prepared to give.
"We are all confronted with today
and tomorrow and yesterday is only
valuable to any of us as it ripened
our judgment through experience and
enables us to avoid the pitfalls we
encountered before"

Dress Industry Union. Management
Bock Efficient Management Course

New York City-1LNS).-A unique
experiment in education designed to
maintain New York City's annual
half billion dollar garment industry
as the capital of the fashion world is
being offered by New York Univer-
sity for manufacturers in collabora-
ton with industrial end organized
labor leaders, according to Prof. Paul
A. McGhee, director of the Univer-
sity's Division of General Education.
Authorities to Lecture
The New York Dress Institute, an
organization Of employers and union
leaders, is collaborating with New
York University in sponsoring a 12-
week course in efficient management,
which started March ID and continues
through May %.
Prof. McGhee said the university
has agreed to provide faculty and
curriclum for the course. Outstand-
ing authorities in specialized fields of
efficient Industrial management will
deliver "a lectures to the garment
industrialists. No fees will be
charged, he said, since the cost will
be borne by the Dress Institute.
The initial 12-week educational
program is regarded as the forerun-
ner of a broader and more intensive
study of the principles and techniques
of efficient management as applied to
New York's dressmaking industry,
Prof. McGhee said. He added that
the university is prepared to assist
in the development of more detailed
courses next fall.

Other labor papers, including the
Guild Reporter, printed by Pentagon
Press were also delayed. The Reporter
was notified that because of constant
ly curtailed deliveries" of newsprint,
"the number of pages as we'll as the
amount of printed copies" would have
to be reduced. Pentagon sent similar
notices to editors of papers for Food
Tobacco & Agricultural Workers, Init.
Fur & Leather Workers Union, Natl.
Maritime Union and Textile Workers
Union (all CIO).
Pentagon informed the Guild Re-
porter that it now was using 125 to
130 tons of newsprint monthly COM
pared to $50 tons a year ago but was
unable to get full quota from mills
First official union protest at the
threat to the labor press was filed
with the Civilian Production Admin
istration by the hat workers union,
which called for renewed govern
ment rationing system. Government
restrictions were lifted the first of the
year and newspapers went on volun-
tary rationing system.
Both Rogowski Press and Pentagon
Press told the Guild Reporter they
had been better off when newsprint
was handled by the government on a
quota system. Now cuts are on a
month-to-month basis with insuffi-
cient paper available to handle only
the same work as last year.
Pres. w. G. Chandler of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers Assn. adj
mitted to the Reporter that in gen.
eral the newsprint situation was tight,
with more newsprint being substituted
for roto, magazines and commercial
work to account for the shortage in
the U. S. despite increased production.
He said daily newspapers were hold
ing to 1945 quotas or less on news
print consumption.
"While no one wants to be qouted,"
the Reporter said, at was indicated
that perhaps newsprint was being
diverted to export by mills, for there
is no ceiling on paper exported" u.
S. newsprint at the mill is SGT per
ton, an increase of Sc on the first
of the year. Paper manufacturers
had asked boost to $50 per ton.
Meanwhile" the Reporter warned,
Tabor papers printed in New York
don't know if they will have paper
for their next ISSUE"

Western Union
Here To Stdy

New York-(FP). - Will Western
Union go out of business because it
was ordered by the War Labor Board
to pay a living wage to it's employees
Federated Press decided to find out
after the company announced it was
forced to skip its quarterly dividend
to holders of Glass A no-par stock.
Western Union saved about $500, ,OOO
by eliminating the soc dividend-not
much, but every penny counts, Pres.
= Joseph Egan indicated. Egan' claimed
that the WLB directive, ordering the
company to pay $31 million in retro
active pay and increase it's annual
wage bill by $25 million, would
amount to So million more than WU's
total earnings in 1916 before taxes.
Worried about WU's future if it
went on running up deficits, FTP con-
suited a company spokesman. Yes,
the figures were all true, he said
and it was all the fault of Western
Unions mercenary employees, who get
much more money than the poor stock
holders. (FP checked later and found
that one share of Glass A stock cost
$43.25. Average wage of WI work
er before the WLB award was $28.80.
If the award is interpreted in favor
of American Communications Assn,
wages will go up to about $34.80 a
week)
How could Western Union stay in
business if it's going to operate at a
loss or does it consider itself a pub
lie service, FTP asked the company
man. Oh, no, he said, every business
operates on the basis Of a reasonable
expectation of profits. Did Western
Union have reasonable expectation
of profits? How could it, he complain
ed, if it had to pay out all those in
creaes.
Then was Western Union going out
of business 81 can't speak for the
company on such question:" he said

ter safety regulations and health
and welfare fund in the form of
negotiable suggestions"

to issue flat and uncompromislng de-
mands were caught off balance by the
unions offer to engage in collective
bargaining on reasonable basis.
"We present no arbitrary formula
on hours or wages" UNIV President
John L. Lewis told the National BIZ
luminous Coal Wage Conference. "We
are ready to work for you in your
mines. What have you got to offer?
Make US an offer, gentlemen. Maybe,
we will buy"
In masterful summation of the
unions case, Mr.. Lewis castigated the
coal operators for the heavy proper
ton of deaths and accidents in coal
mines.
Citing shocking facts and figures
to support the unions request Tor a
health and welfare fund, Mr.. Lewis
added:
81 wonder if the public likes to
have it's coal smeared with blood.
wonder if the operators are interested
in preventing the smearing of blood
on coal"
Charging the operators with as
suming an "it can't be helped atti-
tude toward mine accidents, Mr.
Lewis continued
GLOW many operators died to pro-
duce that coal? None. How many
stockholders None"
At the public hearings, Mr.. Lewis
read wage statistics showing that
workers in other trades earned far
higher rates of pay than the 81 an
hour basic wage of the miners, which
has not been increased since l941.
"What are you going to do about
IT," he asked the operators. "Say
no? You've played that hand out.

Veterans Ahead

Washington, ID. C.-GLNS).-Jot

new Bureau of Labor Statistics sur
vey of veterans employment turn
over.
Employment, though increasing, is
not keeping pace with the number of
veterans seeking jobs, DR.. Hinrich re-
vealed. He pointed out that this en-
phasized the need for community eff
fort to find work for veterans.
Hinrichs' report was a feature of
the Goth Labor News Review" pre-
sented over WTOP of the Columbia
Broadcasting System by Albert N.
Dennis, the programs founder and
conductor. Introducing DR.. Hinrichs'
Dennis explained that anticipating a
demand for veterans employment in
formation, the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics had expanded the current reports
it obtains from manufacturing estab-
lishments to show, separately, the hir
ing, lay-offs and quits, in other words,
the so-called turnover" of veterans
and non-veterans.
DR.. Hinrichs said that the first
thing the new figures showed is that
veterans with jobs definitely have
greater job security" than non-veter
ans. "ln most industries" he added,
among veterans is less than half that
the rate of layoff and dismissal
among nOn-veterans. Thus the veter
ans with a job has an exceptionally
good chance to keep it,"
