Accord Reached
In Strike onU. ).
Building Jobs
War Department
Agrees to Employ
Private Contractor

The strike of 1000 District con-
Struction workers on Government
projects appeared settled today on
the basis of conference held at
the new War Department Building.
Clement F. Preller, president of
the Washington Building Trades
Conference (AFL, declared workers
would return to their jobs tomorrow
"if we get letter this afternoon
from the War Department in
cooperating the agreements we
reached this morning"
The strike started with the walk
out of 54 American Federation Of
Labor members from construction
of a new ordnance building at the
Bureau of Standards two weeks ago
because of the employment of sew
eral non-union members among II
civil service electricians by the
Army engineers office.
Agree to Private Builder.
War Department engineers agreed
that the remainder of the work at
the new ordnance building would be
carried out by private construction
firm. In that event, the private con-
tractor would be responsible for hir-
ing his own labor, union or nom
union. Drawing specifications and
advertising for bids will take a
month to six weeks, an engineer
said.
Although electrical work will be
held up at the Ordnance Building
pending the contracting for bids,
The work at other Government
building projects will be resumed.
The II Government electricians
were withdrawn from the job Fri
day. 1t. Col. w. A. Mowery, the
War Department negotiator, ex-
planned that the original contract
with a private construction firm was
suspended November 2 because of
lack of funds. When work was re-
sumed in December after Congress
voted additional funds, the Army
engineers entered into subcontracts
with nine other concerns but took
on the electrical work with its owa
civil service employees.
Ma ajority Are Union Members.
Col Mowery said he believed about
two-thirds of the civil service cleo
tricians are members of trade unions
and that there would be no difficulty
in selecting union members for the
job.
The construction projects affected
by the strike include an administra-
ton building and officers quarters
at Andrews Field, costing $4,000, 900,
a s5,oo0,oo0 Army map service prof.
ect at Dalecarlia, and smaller prof.
ects at Fort Belvoir and Walter Reed
Hospital.

tion, however, under any circum-
stances.
The tall, distinguished looking
wife of President Truman's first
appointee to the Supreme Court is
an outstanding presiding officer,
even in an organization that has
had many charming women at its
helm.
Mrs. Burton credits others for the
high caliber of the clubs programs
this year. Her own poise and gra-
cious manner, however, have made
definite contribution to such oc-
casions as the recent brunch for
Mrs. Winston Churchill and the
Friday programs which have hon

Mrs. Burtons interest in people"
is one of the keys to her success,
both as an executive and as the
wife Of a public official. People
are my hobby" she says. And she
has had many opportunities to enjoy
that hobby.
While Harold Burton was serving
as Mayor of Cleveland she was con-
stantly meeting interesting groups.
Cleveland is a very cosmopolitan
CITY," she points out, "and it was
rich experience"
Through the Congressional Club
she has been in contact with a cross
section of America representing
every State. And her opportun-
tiles for meeting people have been
increased by her husbands position
as moderator of the American
Unitarian Association.
Until his appointment to the
Supreme Court, her husband spent
many week ends visiting churches
throughout the East and Mrs. Burton
usually accompanied him.
Their companionship is one of the
joys of her life. Harold Burton,
she says simply, "is a real person.
She's known him since they were
youngsters in West Newton, Mass.
and she was Selma Florence Smith
They met at dancing school, at

were engaged when she graduated
from Wellesley. They were married
two years later, after Harold Burton

course at Harvard. I'm those DAYS
