Inferfederafion Plans
New Constitution 10
Allow Positive Action

A move to strengthen the Inter-
federation Conference was underway
today after the organization last
night instructed a committee to
draw up a new constitution which
would greatly increase its powers to
take independent action.
The present constitution provides
that "any action Of this conference
shall be solely of an advisory nature
and is in no way binding on the
concurring bodies"
The committee will present its re-
port at the next meeting and If
accepted will be sent to the five
member federations for ratification.
These include the District of Colum-
bia Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, and the Civic Federations of
Arlington, Fairfax, Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties.
Mulligan Elected.
Foremost among those favoring a
greatly strengthened organization
was Walter F. Mulligan of Prince
Georges County, who last night was
elected chairman at the annual elec-
ton of officers. He replaces Joseph
B. Matre of Montgomery County.
IT have heard the Interfederation
Conference referred to as male
sewing circle" he said, land perhaps
that did not miss the point by a
great deal.
"As the new chairman I would
like to see the organizations powers
increased so we can be Of real, posi-
tive value in the accomplishment Of
practical objectives."
Fred w. Cast, also of Prince
Georges County, taking an opposing
viewpoint, pointed out that the Or
ganization had been instrumental
in instituting uniform closing laws
for liquor establishments and had
also, via the method of suggestion,
succeeded in introducing many valu-
able ideas to constituent federations
which were then acted on by those
groups.
Doubtful Of Procedure.
He also said he thought the con-
ference was merely an advisory body
and couldn't make itself over into q
legislative body by its own action.
The majority, however, favored q
strong, aggressive organization cap
able of concerted action.
The Amendment Committee con-
sists of Mrs. Franklin G.. Sartwell,
District of Columbia, chairman;
Richard H. Akers, Montgomery
County; William c. Hull, Arlington
County; Mr.. Mulligan and r. A.
Osborn, Fairfax County.
Other officials elected last night
include Mr.. Osborn, first vice presi-
dent; william G. Watt, Arlington
County, second vice president;
Franklin G. Sartwell, District Of
Columbia, third vice president; Mr..
Akers, fourth vice president, and
Henry Austin Of the District, secre-
tary.
The meeting was held in room 528.

Centerville. Every month or so
she took the train "home" to Aunt
Clara's for the week end.
1t was not at all as Laura had
dreamed it would be when she was
going to business school in Center
vile. She smiled sadly nowadays
when she remembered her excite
ment at getting a job in this busy
city. To get away from Center
vile and Aunt Clara! To be diff
ferent, truly different Laura, as
she knew she could be! Working in
an Office in the city, she found,
was not so different from working
in an office in Centerville - only
now she was more lonely than be-
fore. Aunt Clara was crabby and
sometimes vixenish, but she was
someone to talk to; and in Center
vile there'd sometimes been a
date.
HERE there was no one, thought
Laura drearily as she rolled her
hair into pin curls before going to
bed, wondering why she bothered.
There was MIR. Borden, her en-
ployer, who treated her with
friendly unconcern; and Mr.. Will
son, her landlady's husband, a
quiet little man who spoke to her
politely, but as if he did not see
her at all; and then there was Bill
Barnes, the young man who owned
the small restaurant where she ate
her lunches.
Bill Barnes had come out of five
years in the army with violent
dislike for powdered eggs, author
ity, and sameness in anyone or
anything. From now on" he'd
say to anyone who would listen,
I'm not taking orders - except
from customers. He'd sold his
bonds, got a CT loan, and opened
this small lunch room near Laura's
Office.
Laura wasn't the only girl who
primped before going into Bills
Lunch Room, but to her he was
more than just a good-looking
young man with big voice and
wary blue eyes. Besides MIR. Bor-
Evening star., 1947-06-15

den and Mr.. Wilson, Bill was the
only man she knew in all the city.
Hello" he'd say, what Il it be
today?' And once, (oh, happy
dayD he said, whistling, Say,
that's a cute little hat! Where'd
you get it?"
'At Flint and Reams," she said,
and then felt exquisitely embar-
rassed. Why could she never think
of clever things to say - as if he
cared where she bought the hat!
But now it was for Bill that
Laura rolled her hair into the
dozens of pin curls each night;
bought and used the perfumes
with their exciting, promising
labels. When she got a new dress,
it was for Bill; and lunch time was
her shining hour. She tried hard
not to look at him too often as he
worked behind the counter, but
she couldn't keep her eyes for long
from his face or his busy hands.
Sometimes she thought he looked
at her with special interest, but
later she'd tell herself sternly: "Of
course he didn't! It's that girl with
the hennaed hair, the one he calls
Red, that he likesr'
Now the rides to and from work
were almost an adventure. Laura
exhausted the signs on the buses,
and learned to read the street
signs and the advertisements
quickly as the bus whizzed by.
Some she especially liked: the big
red SAG sign on the service sta
tons; the SEDIH, SRUF, SINKS
on warehouse; the red of the
POTS, the green of the OG. The
signs of the city were in foreign
language known only to Laura.
She fhOltpht UIaintly "Tt'c like
being in a foreign country. How
odd the people are; how queer
their language - and no one
knows it but me"
And though it was only game.
it was curiously satisfying. Laura
moved further and further into

Boss Strike
DeodIocked

Strike of 100 employees OF the
Boss Mfg. Co. entered its second
month on Labor Day which was
lebrate d by the workers
marching in the CIO Parade. No
settlement of the issues is in
sight it was announced this
week by Chester Kapela, mana
ger of the Toledo Joint Board,
ACWA-CIO.
Standing in the way of settle
ment of the strike is the 20 per
cent wage hike and six paid
holidays asked by the union in
its negotiations with the COM
pany. The company management
has refused to even discuss holi-
day pay, according g to Mr..
Kapela.
Efforts of the union to refer
the case to an L-M-C panel have
been rejected by the company.
No meetings were in sight this
week according to union officials.

Back Pay Claims
Limited Severely
After Sept. II

ASHIN TON, Sept. 8
(LPA)-Union lawyers--already
showed under with the details
of life under the Taft-Hartley
law-are working rapidly this
week to protect workers who
otherwise may lose their rights
to back pay under the Fair
Labor Standards Act.
The ew "portal-to-portap'
law, passed by Congress last
May, says that claims for back
wages will be restricted to pay
lost during t he previous two
years, or a shorter period in
states where the statute of
limitations covers a shorte e r
period.
Sept. IL is the deadline for
filing such suits under the more
liberal rule that only the state
statute of Limitations decides
the period over which pay can
be claimed.

Good Turn

Those who doubt the truth
of the saying, Zone good turn
deserves another" or the
other "Cast your bread upon
the waters and it will return
to you," will be interested in a
story that concerns the Local IL
Children's Summer Camp and a
group of Mack Truck workers
who just one year ago were on
strike and came to Toledo to
lead the Labor Day Parade.
Local IL and other Toledo
UAW-CIO unions contributed
generously to the Mack strikers
cause aiding them to maintain
themselves and win their strike.
This week the favor was return
ed when the Mack Truck Local
GIT, Allentown, Pa, sent 5000 to
the Local IL Summer Camp and
its sincere wishes for the camps
success.
Mack Locals gift plus $25
donated by the Packard Unit
of Local IL and $100 from the
camp maintenance fund brought
the total donations given to the
Sand Lake project to $18,305.
Previously reported, $17,980.
Reported this week, 1925. Total
donations to date, $18,305.
Checks and money orders

and the CLOS reaction to it.
Thousands of m a r C h e S
literally interspersed their
ranks with signs, slogans and
significant floats to indicate their
awarness of their economic and
political interests and their in
tention of doing something about
it, held the interest of approx
mately 100000 spectators who
lined the parade route.
Principal target for the CIO
barbs was the Taft-Hartley bill
Many laughs were provoked by
six members of the Willys-Over-
land Unit of Local IL carrying q
coffin which carried the inscrip
ton, Hartley First. Next Taft. "
Immediately behind the coffin
Taft was carried, hung in effigy
Another telling shot at the

Glass Union
Wins Praise

Officers and members of Local
9, CIO-Federation of Glass,
Ceremic and Silica Sand Work
ers were praised for their CO.
operation with the Lib b y
Owens Ford Glass Co. here
recently by Tom B o d m n,
Cleveland Press labor editor.
Chief concern of the special
article in the Press is the
company's efforts aided by the
cooperation of the union to
hold the price line of their pro-
duct by "CIO production work
ers, who have a will to work
and encourage, rather than op-
pose introduction of labor saw
ing machinery"
Despite spiraling m a tie r l
costs, new wage increases and
uncertain demand, the article
states that the company is not
only managing to hold its prices
stable, but actually is offering
to supply glass for future
delivery to contractors at
"today'S prices for projects not
yet begun"
Outlines the Way
This stabilization of prices has
been accomplished by team
work by CIO production work
ers, skillful engineers and an
executive staff that is finding
new uses for glass.
The cooperation between the
union and company in the
matter of prices is recognized by
a quote from Joseph Froesch,
International Glass work ers
president stated at the time the
last wage increase was agreed
upon:
The union recognizes that full,
uninterrupted production at low
unit cost is necessary to take
the pressure off prices, curb in
flation, and bring down living
costs. The union will do every
thing possible publicly and
privately to urge its members to
individual cooperation in full

RouIef
DisoWns
His Own

The strange paradox of a
politician disavowing his own
brain child was illustrated on
Monday of this week when
Mayor Lloyd Roulet, sponsor
of the ''Roulet Plan" before City
Council last year, and in front
of the first meeting of the City
Government Study Committee
nine months ago, rejected his
plan on the ballot without
signers to petition and in the
face of the evidence that the
PR plan itself got on the ballot
some years ago through Council
action. Council voted 5 to 4
against the plan leaving the PR
system without m m e d ! a I e
threat and freer than it has been
for the past few years.
Voting against the proposal
were Mayor Lloyd Roulet and
Councilmen James B. Simmons,
Jr., Ollie Czelusta, Arthur M.
Jurrus and Earl o. Lehman.
Voting for the issue were
Vice-Mayor Michael v. Disable,
and Councilmen Tom Burke,
Len Donovan and Addison @.
Thacher.
Mayor Roulet advanced his
''plan" last year when the PR
system was seriously threatened
by a Mayor-21-man Council
