New Fourth Floor?
New Fourth Floor?
ADVOCATES PLAN
TOENLARGE

A movement to get a fourth
floor added to the Customs
house will be undertaken short
ly by the Wilmington Chamber
of Commerce, John H. Farrell,
secretary, revealed yesterday.
The need for additional floor
space in the Customshouse is
only too apparent" Farrell
said. Government officials
now stationed in the building
say their offices have reached
the limit of expansion.
New Agencies
Further. we are expecting
several more governmental
agencies to set up permanent
offices in Wilmington. With
little or no room available in
the Customshouse and, for that
matter, anywhere else in the
city, it is only logical that a
fourth floor be added to the
building which already is head
quarters for governmental
agencies"

SORRY STORY

SORRY STORY - In response
to a lot of inquiries, complaints,
and requests we're going to print
yesterdays story again today-the
way it should have been printed
yesterday.
It seems that the linotype oper-
ator and the proofreader suffered
a complete breakdown, SO sadden-
ed were they by the news that
ITALIAN Hall has been closed.
Blinded by tears, they made a
sorry hash out of a sorry story,
and by the time it got into yes
terday's paper it was as unread
able as a neglected 10year-old bill
board.
Brace up, lads.
BLACK MARK - ITALIAN Hall
is closed.
The black mark of condemnation
rests darkly on its stored walls,
on the gilt of its high-flung bal
comics. on the now-empty stage
once brightly alive with the page
antry of playacting.
Behind its sealed doors, like the
crypt of Scheherezade, it entombs
the memories of a thousand-and-
ono nights-of Macbeth " of The

Loyalty Of Labor
Hailed byBortz
In Council Talk
By Gretchen Smith.
Women's Club Editor.

In spite OF frequently heard
charges that American labor is lean
ing toward communistic ideologies,
there is no more loyal group in the
country than members Of the AFL
and the CIO, according to Nelson
Bortz, chief of Labor Management
disputes, Department Of Labor.
Guest speaker at a meeting Of the
Woman's Council of the National
City Christian Church yesterday
Mr.. Bortz, in presenting various
angles of the labor question, de-
clared: There is no movement on
the part of labor or workers to dis
card the American system Of govern
ment. Most workers are for free
enterprise and for the American
economic system. There appears TO
be an impression that the entire
labor movement is subversive in
character. Members of labor groups
have as much patriotism as you
or T."
Taking for his subject, "A triangle
Of Misunderstanding - Labor Man.
agement- Consumer" the speaker
emphasized the need for tolerance
and patience on the part of the
public in its attitude toward labor
and the present-day situation.
"You must remember" he ex-
planned, that during the war, ac-
cording to agreement, labor abided
by the decision of no strikes-no
lockouts.' Labor leaders emphasized
when the agreement was signed that
it would only function during the
war. Following VI day, many
workers were reduced from a 49,
hour week with overtime to a 40
hour week and no overtime. In the
meantime, living has increased 2115
per cent in food alone since vi
day and, from statistics released yes
terday, food prices have risen SO per
cent since 1939."
Much of the unrest among work
ers is due to the situation, Mr.. Bortz
declared and their attempt to keep
even with the rise of prices"
A need for better understanding
between union heads and "the rank
and file" of labor also was voiced
by the Labor Department Official.
"The same is true on the side Of
management" he added. Some
times there may be complete under.
standing between union leaders anc
owners but the understanding has
not filtered down to the actuaI
plant among the superintendents
the foremen and the workers. There
is frequently friction because under.
standing has not been developed
along the line"
Mr.. Bortz declared that his plea
for tolerance, patience and observ.
ance of the golden rule was MOI
made merely from a religious OF
sentimental sense but from a practi.
cal sense in a country where 140,-
100000 people must live together

American Mission to Lepers, also

talk preceding Mr. Bortz, citing in
stances of community intolerance
which contributed to local unrest.
