Balm added that in fairness to
customers who pay us the money
with which We pay employees
wages. this counter proposal by
the union has been rejected He
indicated that to succumb to the
unions demands would result IN
higher rates to phone users.
At the same time, the govern
ment made a proposal late Sun
day of a 1914 PACKAGE weekly
boost in the salary of striking
telephone workers, according to
an Associated Press dispatch.
The disclosure from Washing
ton of the governments proposal,
was reported privately by persons
in close touch with developments,
although federal conciliators have
requested strict secrecy in the
walkout.
Meanwhile. in Boston. IN unof-
fetal tabulation indicated last
night that New England phone
workers were voting ratification
of a new company offer of salary
hikes ranging up TO S. per week.
In Raleigh, Gov. R. Gregg Cher
ry was reported to have main
tanned silence after a charge that
he had scorned democratic ideals
in advocating the use of strike
breakers in the Walkout if normal
service is not returned by Mon
day. According to the report.
Governor Cherry had suggested
the phone firms use substitute
employees if strikers did not Re
turn to work tomorrow. He was
repeatedly charged with taking an
undemocratic stand by H. F.
Tweedy, vice-president OF the
SFTW.
In the midwest, the AP reported
an Illinois Bell spokesman said
NFTW representatives were throw
ing their weight against an &C
ceptance of strike settlement
terms reached between three I'M
ions and the Illinois Bell Tele-
phone company.
The balloting was continuing in
Illinois, and if 16, 1000 workers
accept the latest company offer,
repeatedly a 81 a week raise, the
phone paralysis in Chicago would
end within a matter Of hours.
Dumas, meanwhile. disclosed
Governor Cherry's request that
Southern Bell put additional en-
ployes to work in the southern
states, if the strike does not end
tomorrow, had been answered.
In his reply to the Tar Heel
governor, Dumas pointed out that
of the IS exchanges in North Caro-
lima, 45 were operating efficiently
and as more workers returned to
their jobs daily, added efficiency
was being realized.
we are reluctant to I'LL the
places of people who are out
on strike" his letter said, Most
of them are fine men and women,
who have been misled by badly
mistaken leadership. We sincere
" hope the matter will be settled
without resorting to filling vacant
job positions
However, Dumas also asserted
that if the governors appeal does
not meet with a satisfactory re-
suit. I'VE shall give full response
to your request that we employ
replacing personnel"
The strike, now in its fourth
week, has cost idle workers $751;
800, 900 in lost wages. and $780,
900 man-days of idleness. The tel
ephone walkout is now the longest
strike since the maritime strike
last October, and is the biggest
walkout since the coal paralysis
in April of 1916.

The Homen1aker's
Corner
By MARY DOUGLAS

In Washington, the homemakers
are all excited over the exchange
of African Violet plants. l never
knew there were so many different
varieties, until one woman wrote
that she had Is varieties and wanted
more. Here are the ones that she
now has Saintpaulia ionantha
Qavender-b lue), Saintpaulia (very
small, pale, non hairy leaves).
Varieties: Blue Boy, Blue Girl (pat-
ented), Sailor Boy, Norseman, Blue
Dupont, Admiral (or viking), Nep-
tune, Commodore, Redland (Red-
head, Orchid Bicolor Lavender
Lady, Trilby), Plum, Pink Beauty
(patented), White (patented), Myr-
tie. a medium-reddish violet, name
not known.
She goes on to write that the
leaves root best in coarse clean
sand kept very wet, that they are
less apt to rot in sand than in either
water or SOIL also the roots are
much stronger and the young plants
come more rapidly. Reporting in
soil is done when the young plants
start to appear above the sand.
The varieties that this lady was
seeking to add to her collection
were as follows - Lavender-pink
Dupont round, small scalloped
leaves), Amethyst (pale orchid, very
dark leaves), Blushing Lady, also
called Dawn (creamy off
white), Sky Blue (bluish off-white,
very dark leaves).
So you can see there is quite
family of these cheerful little plants,
that if properly taken care of, bloom
almost continuously.
The following recipe is one that
l have just tried out and are they
goodl
RaiSin Buns
/ cup of scalded milk
p cup of butter, or other short
ening
l yeast cake dissolved in IA cup
of lukewarm water
| teaspoon of lemon extract Cop
tionaD
p teaspoonful of salt
1/3 cup of sugar
p cup of chopped raisinS
Put the shortening in the hot
milk, together with salt and sugar.
Allow to cool to lukewarm, then
add the yeast cake which has been
dissolved in the warm water. Add
the raisins (favGring if ddEired)
and enough flour for stiff dough.
Place in a creased bowl and let
rise, then make into buns and let
rise again. Bake in 375 to 400
degree oven for Is or 20 minutes.
A little cream brushed over the
tops and then sprinkled with sugar,
makes nice crust You can make
these right after breakfast and
after rising put the dough in the
refrigerator until about two hours
before you are ready to cook them.
Then make into buns and let rise.
(These are almost as good as the
ones you make, Jane.)
