Tax Division
Attempt Fails

LANSING, Feb. 81 - Up - An
eleventh-hour attempt to win pas
sage Of a city aid plan was frus-
trated late yesterday in the legis-
lature.
The issue, one Of the hottest be-
hind-the-scenes fights Of the Spe-
cial session, reached a final show
down in the Senate when Sen.
Haskell Nichols, r. Jackson, sought
to attach sales tax division plan
as rider to the deficiency appro-
priation.
After q lively floor debate, the
Nichols rider was ruled not GER
name to the deficiency bill. Nichols
appealed that decision and the
showing of handS-the closest ap-
proach to a test vote-resulted in a
Is to 10 defeat for the city aid
adherentS.
Nichols asked for distribution Of
s4,5O0,OO0 for each fiscal quarter
to cities, counties and townships on
a population basis. His amendment
provided that the funds were to
come from sales tax collections over
SOC, O0O,OOO a year.

Didn't Want To
Be Killed; AWOL
For Four Years

DETROIT, Feb. 81 - U.D - An
army deserter who hid in his own
home for four years because he
didn't want to be killed" was held
in the guardhouse today awaiting
disposition of his case by the Sixth
Service Command.
The soldier, Pvt. Walter Michal-
owski, %, gave himself up on the
advice of Judge o. 2. Ide, ending
the self-imposed confinement that
started in March, 1912, when he de-
serted from Camp Robinson, KY.
MichalowsH had been out Of
bis home only once. That was
during the summer of 1912 when
he sneaked out for a few hours
to 20 on q nocturnal fishing trip.
Only the deserter's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Michalowski, and
three other members of his family
knew his whereabouts.
The secret was divulged finally
by Michalowski's sister, Mrs. Helen
Frania, who tried to persuade him
to give himself up. He refused and
she consulted an attorney, Watson
WalkiewicZ.

Five More
Diaries Join
Milk Strike

Detroit, Feb. 81 up Workers
of five more diaries joined
spreading milk strike in the met
ropolitan area today as federal and
state mediators sought desperately
tt, avert complete famine Of dairy
supplies.
Federal and state mediatorS
sought today to hold in check the
insurgent milk strike which already
has shut off milk supplies from
some 100000 families.
Representatives of IS creameries
and the CIO United Dairy Work
erS were scheduled to meet in an
attempt to iron out a wage dispute
involving union demands for 20
cent hourly increase.
Russell Ballard, president Of
Local 80, called the strike "justi-
fled" in the face of a state labor
mediation board order for 80
DAY strike notice. The union had
given five days notice.
However, Ballard earlier asserted
the strikes were unauthorized and
that union officials were doing all
in their power to get the men back
to work
The unions 3,400 members in
clude some 1000 production work
erS-the only ones for whom the
pay increase is sought. The strike
by production workers idled sew
eral hundred drivers, boosting the
number of strike idle to around
1850.
Separate conferences of company
and union officials with the media
tors ended last night when COM
pany men withdrew from the pro-
ceedings. However, Chairman Phil
lip Weiss of the state labor media
ton board said the negotiations
had not been broken off.
Ballard disclosed that five COM
panies already had come to terms
on the basis of a 90 cents hourly
increase retroactive to January L,
meeting the unions demand. One
Of these, the Johnson creamery
employing about 100 men, was one
of the struck plants.
The union head claimed that he
had given several five-day strike
notices to the mediation board,
and had not been notified they
were illegal until a final decision
to strike was made last Tuesday.

Council Meets
With SCMWA
On Wage Boost

Municipal workers will meet with
the Mayor and city council We'd
nesday night to settle wage-hour
adjustments with city employees
asking a return to a 40-hour week
with 48-hour weekly take-home pay
or a six-day week with 1872 cent
hourly increase.
Yale Stuart, Detroit, field repre-
sentative Of the State, County, aid
Municipal Workers of America for
the Michigan area, presented the
request and said that if 4O-hour
week is set by the council, the en-
ployeS would not ask the 1919 cent
boost.
Pointing out that additional
wages will increase the tax bur-
den, Mayor Louis w. Benin said
the SLAP hour rate which Stu
art quoted would not be a fair
wage for this community" Tax
funds, which are expected to de
crease next year, would feel the
burden of the pay boost, council
man Harry Rouse said, and as a
result financial problems would
arise.
Stuart who reported Wyandotte
has the lowest prevailing rate, came
back by saying that its municipal
workers get the same pay for 90
hour week as they are now getting
for 48 hours. the adjustment won't
cost the city more.
A study Of pay scales of Wyan-
dotte with surrounding towns, made
by City Clerk Ford Wagar following
last weeks meeting, showed rates
for Trenton, Melvindale, EcorSe
River Rouge, and Lincoln Park
ranged from s1O4 to S1.27 in those
communities for laborers and truck
drivers.
