Beer Strikers
Will Ballot on
Pact Tomorrow
Approval of Contract
Expected to Put End
To Three-Week Tieup

End of the three-week beer
strike appeared in sight today as
union members called a meeting
in Laborers' Temple tomorrow
to consider settlement terms.
Prospects were bright that the
truck drivers and brewery workers
would approve the new contract
drawn up by their representatives
and those of the Christian Heurich
Brewery and 26 distributing firms,
with the assistance of Cancellation
Commissioner. James Holden.
The union members were scheduled
to take a vote after hearing their
business agent, Thomas A. Cation,
outline the settlement terms.
Most of Washington's beer supply
has been cut off since abouN 200
brewery workers and 100 drivers left
their jobs.
The dispute was complicated by
the fact that some of the workers
had been affiliated with now de-
funct independent union, whose
contract had to be welded with that
of the Beer and Soda Water Drivers
| and Helpers Local 81 (AFL).
Another complication was wide
range of classifications, involving
inside workers, drivers handling
cases of beer and others handling
kegs. To fix wages for all classifica-
tions took time.

Questions and Answers
On
National Representation
For the District of Columbia
(Sirth of a Series)
RIGHTS and Privileges Denied

Question: In What particulars
are you depriDed of the rights
and privileges of Americans 1oho
are citizens of a State?
Answer-In relation to national
laws the sole function of the
District residents is to obey. They
take no part in making the laws
which they must obey.
In relation to national taxes,
their sole function is to pay.
They have nothing to say, like
other taxpayers, concerning the
amount and kind of taxes they
shall pay and how the tax money
shall be spent.
In relation to national war,
their sole function is to fight in
obedience to command. They
have no voice, like other Ameri-
cans, in the councils which de-
termine war or peace. They have
no representation in Government
which requires them to fight, to
bleed and perhaps die.
Since the 938,450 (1945 eSti-
mate), Americans of the District
pay national taxes, obey national
laws and go to war in the Ma
tons defense, they are entitled
on American principles to be
represented in the national Gov
ernment which taxes them,
which makes all laws for them
and which sends them to war.
Confers an Honor and Arms
With Power.
Question: On Whdt other
grounds than as an american
Evening star., 1946-11-01

right and privilege do you seek
national representation?
Answer-This distinctive Amer
ican privilege decorates the
American with a badge of honor
and arms him with power. It's
lack slurs the Washingtonian as
unfit and defective, and slurs the
Nation as in this respect un-
American and impotent.
What the amendment proposes
is equitable in itself and COM
pulsory in accordance with
American principles and tradi-
tions.
1t gives to residents of the
District rights and privileges
which, under our scheme of gov
eminent, belong to all who pay
national taxes and fight as ma
tional soldiers.
It gives to residents of the
District a self-protecting power
in the national councils which is
denied to the residents Of no
other community in all of the
mainland and contiguous United
States, from Maine to Texas and
from New York to California.
Washington will cease to be
the only American community
numerous, intelligent, prosper
Gus, public-spirited and patri-
otic-in all the expanse of con-
tinental and contiguous United
States whose fitness to exercise
national privileges, as well as to
bear national burdens, is denied. !.

itaI punishment. =

call at least 20 or Is witnesses in
cluding Thomas F. Nusbickle,
