! Wage Raises
Awarded 10 400
In Arnold Lines
Ten Cents Retroactive
To May; Nickel More
Due in February

"A wage increase Of 10 cents an
hour, retroactive to May 18, and
another raise of 5 cents by next
February, have been approved for
approximately 400 employees of the
Washington, Virginia & Maryland
Coach Co., Inc, (Arnold Lines.
The award, made by three-mem-
ber Arbitration Board, was criticized
by the union representative, w. M.
Homer, as grossly inadequate.
Concurring in the majority were
Douglas Hatch, for the company,
and John E. Dwyer, neutral men,
Der.
The pay increase followed by "a
hours an announcement that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
had authorized the Arnold Lines to
raise fares for passengers. Institu-
ton of the fare increase has been
deferred until october 13, however,
to permit citizens groups to be
heard.
Top Scale to Be S1.22.
Under the wage raise plan, Arnold
employees will receive an additional
cents per hour on November 18
and 2 cents more on February 49, |
The top scale will then be $122 an
hour. The employees had asked a |
38-cent increase over the SLOT rate
provided in the contract which ex-
pired May 18.
H. H. England, general manager
OF the bus company, estimated the
new wage scale will cost the system
$4,000 more monthly. He figured
the fare increase will raise revenues |
by about $4,000.
The Arbitration Board decision
also provided for a change in the
progression system, increasing wages
5 cents an hour after the first six
months work, but retaining a one
year top clause. 1t also guaranteed
higher pay for extra drivers, giving
a $3.50 weekly increase, retroactive
to May 18, adding ST more in No
vember and fixing the weekly pay
at $42.50 by February.
Severance Pay Plan Revised.
Drivers on predawn "owl" runs
were awarded an additional cents
per hour, and the severance pay
plan was revised to provide two
weeks pay after two years and
maximum of 10 weeks after 10 years.
To comply with the Virginia law,
the arbitration board removed the
union shop provision of the contract
between company and employees, but
retained the checkof system. The
company and union were directed
to work for a satisfactory pension
plan during the next contract year.
No action was taken on a union de-
mand for longer vacations with pay. |

Split for 7 Fathers
SpecioI Dispoteh 10 The Stor

WINCHESTER, Va, Oct. 1.-Two
Frederick County farm workers con-
victed of failure to send their chill
dren to school were due to begin
paying their debt to society today
on the installment plan.
The fathers will serve their FIVE
day terms in jail in two tricks, a
part of this week end and all of
next week end.
The arrangement was permitted
for Henry Crounse of Stephens City,
and Clarence Turbin of Whitacre,
by Trial Jusicte w. Earl Edwards, so

with failing to require three chill
dren to attend school, and Crounse
with failing to require one to at
tend
He fined each $40 and ordered 30
day Jail terms but suspended all of
the sentence except five days, on
probationary condition that the
fathers keep their children in
school for a year. He allowed the
men. a week OF liberty before be-
ginning to serve their time and
agreed to a split sentence.
Under the plan, the fathers must
report to Jail by pm. today and re-
main until Monday morning, return
next Friday and remain until the

Price Of Butter

Most Sections of U. S.
Face Cent-o-Loof
Increase for Breed

Washington dairies, following
the lead of retail grocery stores,
have cut butter prices from 2 to
S cents a pound in the last few
days. as consumer resistance to
high prices for butter increased.
A survey showed these reduc-
tions by diaries in top-grade butter
prices:
Embassy, 90 to SO cents pound;
Model Farms, SO to SO cents;
Thompson's, 90 to 81 cents; Chest
nut Farms-C Chevy Chase, SO to SO
cents; Highland Farms. 81 to 81
cents; Wakefield, SO to 80 cents.
Chain stores are now selling best
grade butter between IS and 81 cents
a pound, q. 2-cent drop from last
week.
Supplies are plentiful, dealers
said, but buying is light. Checks
with merchants in several cities
show general dropping off in over
the-counter sales.
Retall SdleS Decllne.
In Philadelphia, one dealer said
his sales had declined by two-thirds
during the week. In st. Louis a
supermarket operator declared 10
day moratorium on butter and egg
sales in three stores in protest
against "ridiculously high" whole
sale prices. A wholesaler here said
sales were off 80 to IS per cent be-
cause of consumer resistance.
There were declines in the whole
sale butter market in several cities
yesterday, including a drop of AZ
cents in New York and Philadelphia
and cents in Chicago. Top-grade
wholesale prices at yesterdays mar
ket close were IA cents at New York,
y to 1876 at Philadelphia and 72.5
cents at Chicago.
Meanwhile, in other developments
on the food-price situation, there
were reports by bakers that a re-
tail increase of 1-cent loaf in the
price of bread in several cities would
become effective soon in most Sec
tions of the country. Higher prices
for flour and other ingredients we're
causing the increase for bread, in
dustry spokesmen said.
Hogs Sell at S3025.
A load of strictly choice hogs sold
for $30.25 a hundredweight at In
dianapolis yesterday, setting an all
time high. But in other livestock
markets sales were slow. Hog re-
ceipts at Chicago increased to 5000,
the largest Friday volume in four
months.
Cattle prices at Chicago were
steady, with top of $34.
In the grain market at Chicago
wheat closed unchanged to l cent
lower. Corn futures broke about 7
cents on announcement by the
Agriculture Department that 80 per
cent of the crop was safe from frost
damage September 26, and private
estimates that the crop would run
about 100,000,000 bushels more than

put the Seattle steamship companies out of business and deal with lines based in Portland San Francisco or elsewhere Going ahead on this tack Governor of Alaska Ernest Gruening is making progress in Wash ingon towards wrecking the plan for government aid to the three Alaska steamship companies serving the Territory The Governor has stated that Alaska would rather go without any steamship service than to see the Seattle lines have exclusive agreement with the government in the Alaska shipping rehabilitation program
 Under this agreement with the Maritime Con- given favored treatment by the government in an effort to do something help the people of Alaska secure better water transportation It was to be temporary measure and of emergency, since the Alaska companies had stated that they could not operate independently expiration of their wartime operation as agents for the War Shipping Admnisra- tion because of increased costs of operation.
 From all over Alaska. Congress and the Maritime Commission received requests for government aid for service. That aid given, the contracts were signed Now Alaskan officials are doing their best to throw a monkey wrench into the wheels They want the government to extend the aid program to all shipping companies regardless of whether or not they have operated in Alaska before
 The real danger is that the Maritime Commission, rather than try to handle the hornets nest which throw the whole thing out the window That's some thing to think about It might happen If it does happen Alaska will have no steamship service.

It's a Big City!
lCincinnati EnnuirelN


 As an out-size samples of what is happening to American cities from coast to coast, the new budget of New York City is of than passing interest. As submitted by Mayor ODwyer, it totals $l 029 120 3l4 It is not only the largest budget of any govern mental unit in the country outside the Federal Gov ernmen itself but it also is by far the largest budget ever faced by the City of New York
 In round numbers this colossal sum is to be spent largely for education welfare work and debt service, with health and hospitals and then police protection next in size The money will very laregly from real estate taxes which will produce than four fifths of the citys income.
 Thus, for all practical purposes New York has not departed from the historic practice of supporting mun cipal services by the familiar direct tax real erty The result is to push the tax rate for the coming year to s295 each $1OO of assessed valua tion When borough levies added, the rate will be above S3 hundred in all the boroughs of New York.
 This is the striking since New York has continued to increase valuations with rising real prop erty values, and assesses property at 100 per cent of true vaue-compared to 85 per cent in Cin- cinnati In net results, the real tax rate in New York City is rather than twice as high as here in Cincinnati
 The principal for the increased budget lies in wage and salary adjustments for New Yorks 185000 employees To cover this and certain other increased costs the city planning to obtain S74000000 addi tona from other than property taxes and $6l GOO additional in real estate taxes

ITS TOUGH, NO
 MATTER WHICH
 WAY ONE LOOKS

Chicago, May 8-tR-Dale Rich ey lay in a hospital bed today fondling a new pair of roller skates. It was tough waiting to get well so he could try them out.
 But it was tougher for six-year- old Dale's father, Howard Richey, 37, who was faced with the task of telling Dale-well that maybe he hadn't better plan on using the skates for a while.
 Dale was burned April 9 in a backyard fire His injuries caused his father a double anxiety. Dale'S mother was expecting a new baby momentarily, and the father kept from her the knowledge of their sons condition.
 Last week the baby was born, and Richey then told the real ex- tent of Dale's injuries. She ac- cepted the news stoically. An adult learns how to bear those things.
 But Dale was only a little boy waiting for a chance to use his new skates. And his father is searching for a way to tell him that both his legs have been am- putated.

They would spend billions for war after it starts, yet save few thousand which might prevent war from starting. There is nothing Stalin dreads so much as American friendship with the Russian people. It undermines his power.

ALASKA'S SHIPPING PROBLEM

Last years three-month shipping stoppage as a result of labor troubles almost spelled doom for many Alaskan communities And the way things are shap- ing up it is beginning to look if there will be equally serious stoppages this year.
 Yesterday in Seldovia an Alaska Line freighter became strikebound because some fishermen on strike against the Alaska Salmon Industry and the freighter happens to have some cannery supplies aboard Regardless of whatever ether freight the ship is hauling she is being tied up a labor dispute which the steamship company has had nothing to do with However the steamship company must take loss on the trip and the people of Alaska suffer through lack of service. The sympathy strike IS certainly one form of strike which should be ouawed
 It is also rumored that trouble is brewing once again in Juneau between local ongshoremen and the shipping companies.
 strike is expected around June Is on the West Coast probably holding up shipping for some time
 These the things which are causing Alaska so much trouble in shipping It doesn't make any difference what steamship line what city the ships are based in-unt something is done towards settling labor disputes without these damaging teups the ship ping situation will continue to be unsatisfactory and shipping operators will have to boost rates in order to keep up some form of operation, however bad.
 Some would have believe, however, that all of our shipping troubles would solved if would just
