Lost Here in
.Gorose Fire


The life savings Of a retired stone
mason went up IN smoke late last
night when $1,000, kept IN a box
near his bunk, were consumed by
flames as Joseph Tesla, 20, attempt
ed to extinguish a blaze that totally
damaged the Scar garage IN which
he lived.
Fire Marshal Eugene Legge said
today that Tesla, employed BY
Adolph Kukas, owner Of the garage
at 800 Plank Road, returned from
q store and discovered Q cardboard
partition aflame. Tesla thought that
he had extlnguished the blaze, the
Marshal said, but Il broke out anew
and got out OF his control.
Four companies Of firemen under
the command Of Deputy Chief Rich
ard Sheehan responded shortly be-
fore II p. m. and fought the fire
for over 2 hours.
Marshal negge said that the blaze,
caused by an overheated wood stove,
also destroyed a 1899 truck, several
pieces a Of furniture belonging 10
Tesla and 300 worth OF tools as
well as the structure itself.
A 1889. coupe, kept in the garage,
was removed before firemen arrived,
the Marshal said. He revealed that
an examination Of the premises dis
closed a charTed paddock from the
wooden box where Testa's money
was kept, and sticlpin. Everything
else was destroyed.
Tesla, who received a head in
jury, was treated at st. Marys Hos
pital and later taken TO Police Head
quarters where he was given lodging
for the night.

industries will have proper relief
whenever relief Is needed.
Under no circumstances, how
ever will o. p. A. state a price or
promise a price adjustment in adj
vance OF a wage agreement. If
collective bargaining is to proceed
speedily and successfully both man.
agement and labor must understand
that there can be no exception to
this rule.
An announcement gratifying fully
the new procedures of both the
wage sterilization board and the
once of Price Administration under
the new Presidential directive will
be assured in the very near fu-
ture."
The following is the statement
of Mr.. Mankowski:
Economic Sterilization Director
Bowles' statement is crystal-clear
as to the responsibility of manage
ment in the present strike; and
fully supports previous union con-
tentions as to the procedure to be
followed. There is no longer any
excuse for the brass companies re-
fusing to negotiate a wage increase
with the union. The union is hope
full in view of this statement that
the companies will Immediately,
make an offer to the unions of an
1874 -cent increase in wages.
mfr. Bowles' statement points out
that collective bargaining and wage
settlements must take precedence
over everything else. The union
wishs to emphasize his declaration
that there will be absolutely no ex-
captions. Therefore. If the brass
companies desire to impress the
community with their good faith
and good intentions, they should
proceed to settlement OF the wage
dispute at once.
The 1914 cent demand of the
union should be agreed upon with
out delay as the basis for settle
ment. It is the minimum amount
acceptable by workers and theii
families for maintenance OF them
selves and their homes. It is the
figure being settled upon 10y many
other companies. some Of which are
not nearly as rich and profitable al
the Brass Big Three"

secretary. They reported the results
of their conferences to be very
satisfactory.
The following is the complete text
of Bowles statement as received by
The Democrat today.
There is some indication that
in certain industries collective bar
gaining is stalled because marriage
ment is insisting on specific price
adjustments or promises Of specific
price adjustments in advance OF
wage agreements. In justice W
everyone concerned it is essential
that the governments position on
this question shouold be thoroughly
understood.
IF We are really determined to
stop initiation now we can moi
handle wage and price adjustments
on a bargain counter basis. The
government can not be a party tc
economic horse trading.
After wage agreements have
been reached between labor and

o. p. A. will then cause them along
with other costs factors in adjusting
prices.
These adjustments will be based
on the modified standard outlined
in the Presidents executive order OF
February IA which provides that or

industry will be assured at Least
its pre-war earnings during thu
coming year.

possible speed in making the neces-
sary regular adjustments once wage
