And speaking of old timers, there's
Norbet Highland, Buffalo architect
who was in Bluffton looking up
friends the first of the week. He
specializes in designing residences
for building contractors and has a
widespread clientele extending from
the east coast to Colorado. AS a
youngster he was an expert in fly
ing kites and is said to have formu-
lated some early plans in pioneer
ing of the present day helicopter.
His father, David Highland, employ
ed in the oil field here some so
years ago lives in haywood, Calf,
with his sister, Mrs. Florence High
land Murphy.
DR.. Weldon Diller of Rawson, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Diller of
Jackson street, who recently return
ed from the Army to resume his
medical practice will be at Cedar
Point next week playing in the
National Checker Tournament. DR..
Diller, like his father, is checker
enthusiast and his ability in that
field was evidenced last week when
he was able to get a draw from
Newell Banks, worlds blindfold
checker champion in a match at
Findlay. DR.. Diller was one of four
opponents taken on simultaneously
by Banks who played blindfolded.
In the four games Banks won two
and played two to a draw. Spots
on the checkerboard were numbered
and moves" of his opponents were
called by numbers and Banks, speak
ing in numbers directed the moves"
of his pieces as readily as if he
could see the board.
Another former Blufftonite, Gene
Zuber, now superintendent of Whar-
ton schools, erstwhile state checker
champion was the only one to deefat
Banks when the latter took on ten
opponents simultaneously in straight
checkers, moving from one board to
another, sizing up the situations and
moving his own men.

A letter received Monday by the
Ralph Badertscher family of South
Jackson street, written in strange
language has aroused considerable
speculation as to its contents. The
envelope bears a Finnish stamp and
the letter consisting of several
pages, is believed to be an express
sion of gratitude for box sent last
October by the Badertschers for
central European war relief.

ally nervous trigger fingers which
get more itchy when some ill-advised
visitor rashly declares that there are
jackrabbits larger than those grown
in Texas.
Just to prove his point, Wenger
sends a clipping from Houston
newspaper recounting some of the
prize tall tales about the famed
Texas jackrabbits whether there are
facts to support the stories or not.
Take, for example around Ell Paso
where some of the native Texans
will solemnly aver that jackrabbits
there are so large they are often
mistaken for antelope and two of
them will feed $50 guests at a
barbecue. Ranchmen say the rabbits
are chasing their livestock.
At another place it is proposed
to solve the shortage of beef and
pork by substituting jackrabbit meat
and keep three packing plants run
ming full blast-anyway so say the
Texans and we are not the one to
dispute the six-shooter boys.

Longshoremen To
Refuse TO Lood
Relief Supplies

New York Members of the
international Longshoremen's Assn
will refuse to load ships with relief
supplies for Yugoslavia until proper
action is taken against those respon-
sible for shooting down our planes"
lila President Joseph Ryan said here
Sept. 9.
Ryan's statement came in the midst
of seaman's strike which had 81
UNRRA relief ships tied up in New
York harbor. Asked what action the
U. S. should take on Yugoslavia,
Ryan said That was cup to the State
Dept, but that there should be "suf-
ficient punishment of thost respon-
sible for the crimes to the satisfaction
of this country"
In Washington the State Dept. said
proper action" had already been
taken on the Yugloslav issue. Mar
shat Tito had sent the State Dept. eX
pressions of regret at the shootings
and had given assurances that no fur
ther U. S. planes would be shot down
Aside from discussions of indemnities,
which are still on, the case is consid-
cred closed, the State Dept said.
lila support of the AFL seasons
strike made the issue temporarily
academic since the striking Seafarers'
international Union has announced
that it would halt any attempt to sail
the vessels.

Service Workers
Ask Wage Raise

Philadelphia (FP)-In tileir first
major effort to gain wage increases
to match the rising cost of living,
some 5000 building service workers
here have presented demands for an
1872 cents hourly pay raise.
The workers, members of the new
ly consolidated Local 50, Building
Service Employees International
Union, include janitors, elevator oper-
ators and starters, scrubwomen and
firemen.
The elevator workers, formerly or
ganized in Local 50, Elevator Start
ers & Operators Union, joined the
other building service employees
only week before the joint wage ac-
ton.
The new unification makes probable
complete tieup of 1876 of Philadel-
phia's major building if the building
owners reject the workers demands.

said Mr.. Dilworth, looking up from a
copy of the Harvard Business Re-
view. "a very learned professor says
here that ;"
every learned?" Little Luther ask
ed. Il thought all professors were
crackpots."
"Well, that depends, son." said Mr..
Dilworth. "If they are New Dealers,
favor labor and stuff like that, they
ARE crackpots, running around in
silly black gowns and motorboard
hats, absent-minded, radical, dupes,
too stupid to come in out of the rain"
"Just like cartoon in Republican
or Democratic newspaper" Little
Luther suggested.
"That's it to a T!' Mr.. Dilworth
exclaimed. "On the other hand, of
course, if they're sound, solid, sober,
thoughtful men, averse to drifting
with every popular wind, then we
call them very learned professors.
81 call that kind either hypocrites.

Little Luther
Remind me to wash your mouth
out tonight, my boy" Mr.. Dilworth
said.
"Well, anyway" demanded Little
Luther, "what does this learned mag
got pate of your have to say?"
"He says" said Mr.. Dilworth, "that
what the nation needs now is MA
TURE labor leaders. The fighting's
over. Conflict emotions hamper a
mature labor leader trying to nego
tiate a contract or a grievance. To
keep his job, the labor leader thinks
he must be more militant than his
rival. But to succeed, once. he's
elected, he must forget about getting
people to hate the boss, and must be
mature"
you're sure that's mature spelled
with 't', are you?" asked Little Lu-
ther.-
Sounds to me as if your learned
professor is asking for sellout art
lists"
Nothing of the sort, Luther. Why,
labor's won its battle for recognition.
Who fights unions now? Unions can
put their dukes down. Enlightened
management wants to get along with
unions"
"They sure take a funny way of
showing it," said Little Luther.
"Labor's best friend is enlightened
management" said Mr.. Dilworth. "Do
you know that ?"
81 WONDER" said Little Luther, "if
I'd go to the chair if | could prove it
was mercy killing"

Utility Ordered
To Negofiofe
With Strikers

Pittsburgh (FP)-Less than one
hour after $500 power workers walk
ed off the job here, their union lead
ers called off the strike when a city
obtained injunction paved the way fol
settlement of their demands.
President George Mueller of the In
dependent Assn. of Employees of the
Duquesne Light Co. & Associated
Companies said purposes of the strike
had been accomplished by tempor-
ary common pleas court injunction
granted to the city which ordered the
Duquesne Light Co. to bring the di-
rectors of it's giant holding companies
to Pittsburgh to negotiate with the
union. The union is demanding a 20
per cent wage increase and 80 other
contract revisions.
The strike would have cut off all
light from the city and halted trolley
car service. The court petition by the
city asserted that a power strike
would ''paralyze governmental, indus
trial and civil life of this entire area"
Full blame for the crisis was placed
on the company by Mueller who
charged in a pre-strike broadcast that
local officials of the Wall Street-own-
ed Duquense Co. are only pawns of a
huge monopoly exploiting workers
and consumers alike. The Duquesne
Co. is subsidiary of the Philadelphia
Co. and the Philadelphia Co. is owned
by the Standard Gas and Electric
Corp. which in turn is part of a far
stretching power empire dominating
the production of electric and gas in
many states.
Work at Duquesne is considered so
dangerous that no insurance company
is willing to write policy to any of
t he working employees, Mueller
pointed out. He cited several job clas-
ifications showing that Washington
and Detroit power comanies pay $1.82
and $1.S4 an hour against $1.5S and
$1.47 paid by the Duquesne Co. to its
highest paid workers.

Injunction

would be contrary to the decision of
the supreme court. and our right guar
anteed by law" he said, referring to
a supreme court decision setting aside
and injunction issued against unions
in their 1912 strike.
A 24-hour picketing vigil is still
maintained at all T p & w functions
against the ever present threat of
strikebreaking. McNear's most recent
attempt at using scabs to run trains
was as much of a floop as all his
efforts. Although washouts have pre-
vented McNear's scabs from operat-
ing west of Peoria, they managed to
get a work train across the Illinois
river bridge. When they tried to re-
turn the train across the bridge, how
ever, they found a crowd of 300 AFL
and CIO pickets around the bridge
switch and were forced to abandon
the train.
The length of the strike has not
weakened the spirit of the pickets
who are demanding that McNear
operate his road under the standard
railroad contract. Nor have they for
gotten Arthur Browne and Irwin Pas
chon, the two victims Of McNear's
thugs who gave their lives in this all
important fight for organized labor.

Little or no consideration was given
to the cost of performing the individ-
ual service"
The prevailing system, it was
shown, results in charge of Ga cents
per 100 pounds of packinghouse prod
ucts from Atlanta, Ga. to New York.
The charge from Chicago, somewhat
farther by rail, is only 81 cents. The
same items cost 81 cents on shipment
from Charlotte N. c., whereas more
distant Detroit is charged but 46
cents. The picture is the same be-
tween Montgomery, Ala, and st.
Louis, Ill.-72 cents to 63 cents.
The report proposed thorough
study of methods of determining
taxes on all transport, and recon-
mended checking "the feasibility of
equalizing retirement tax rates on

sessment of unemployment taxes for
the benefit of maritime employees.
Railroads are, on the whole, un-

Railroad property taxes normally
comprise the greater part of their
total tax bill. In 1910 the assessed

their valuation by the Interstate
Commerce Commission for rate

Seeks Way Out OF
Maritime TongIe

Washington (FP) - Squirming in
the middle of hot griddle, the Ma
tional Wage Sterilization Board took
the u. S. maritime strike situation
two hearings which were boycotted by
AFL unions involved. A WSB rejec-
tionof a $40 monthly raise is the is
sue, involving tenth of the total per-
sonnel at sea.
Although neither the Sailors Union
of the Pacific nor the Seafarers Inter
national Union was represented, the
WSB got their side of the argument
from the representatives of the ship
owners who argued for approval of a
joint labor management agreement.
The situation finds the WSB in the
position of being forced to reverse
itself on the increase it had previous
ly denied, or of standing pat and al
lowing the strike to spread.
An AFL member of the WSB, Wal
ter Mason, said he would move for
reversal of the old position-a stand
in which he was supported by Direct
or Leslie Parks of the Atlantic a. Gulf
Owners Assn. and A. V. Cherbonnier,
labor relations counsel for eastern
shipowners.
The only labor representative at
tending the hearing was j. r. Ghorm-
ley, Baltimore port agent of the Mari
time Fireman Oilers Wipers e. Water
tenders. Ghormley warned the board
to act by a. m. Sept. 18th or his
$4,000 members will be on the
bricks" on strike.

Union Foremen To
Meet In chicoqo

Detroit (FP)-Flushed with judici-
al and election victories the fast
growing Foreman's Assn. of America
will convene at the Congress Hotel,
Chicago, Sept. 26 for a review of
progress and cail to further gains,
according to President Robert Keys,
smiling in his Detroit national head
quarters.
Defeated in balloting and defeated
in court, the Packard Motor Car Co.,
picked by the motor magnates to
fight the spreading FAA, has filed
notice of rehearing in the sixth cir
cult court of appeals at Cincinnati.
This, in Keys opinion, is just a for
mality before an appeal by the COM
pany to the U. S. supreme court
against the loweE court order to bar
gain collectively and in good faith
with the union.
Ford is the only one of the Big 3
under contract with the FAA. In four
big plants in Detroit the FAA won
bargaining rights from the Chrysler
Corp. Sept. 10 in an NLRB election
A small warehouse with 10 foreman
voted the other way. The Chrysler
plants that went union are Dodge,
DeSoto, Plymouth, and Dodge Forge.
Petitions for the 10 remaining plants
of Chrysler in the Detroit area are
being planned
The convention will open with dele
gates representing $4,000 union
foremen in 200 chapters in 2S states,
six chapters on the west
coast, Keys announced.

Both President Truman and DIR
Steelman emphasized that the ap,
proval of the seaman's pay boost does
not affect the Governments basic
wage stabilization policy. The regu-
lar wage-price formula still holds, DR.
Steelman told reporters.
The Steelman order directed that
the agency in charge of operations by

authorize to be paid, wages compar-
able to those paid by others in the i'm
dustry. But only if the Government
operations were less than half of the
industry and substantial part of the
rest of the industry paid comparable
wages.
