Juvenile Court Bill Passed.
The Hebert bills on concealed
weapons and an alcoholic clinic were
passed by the House yesterday with
out murmur Of opposition. In ad-
dition to these. the House passed
and sent to the Senate bills to:
Permit the Juvenile Court to
waive jurisdiction and send to Dis
trict Court cases OF minors involved
In capital offenses.
Direct removal of the stone pillars
which have proved trafic hazard
at the north end Of West Executive

trict Court to Municipal Court.
Assure seniority benefits to Dis
trict police and firemen who lost
promotions during war service.
Broaden the licensing power of
the District Commissioners over
rooming houses.
Bill Facilitates Arrests.
The concealed weapons bill was
introduced by Mr.. Hebert, and re-
ceived speedy attention in the
House District Committees Judici-
ary Subcommittee after two street
shootings here which resulted in
one death and the critical wound
ing of a policeman.
The bill is aimed to plugging a
loophole in the law which now pre-
vents police from making arrests in
weapons cases unless they have a
warrant or see the suspect actually
committing a crime.
The alcoholic clinic bill would
authorize appropriation of $1o0, 900
for the 1948 fiscal year to the credit
of the District for purposes Of es-
tablishing and operating the pro-
gram. The measure would provide
that any resident of the District
might voluntarily apply to the
clinic for treatment, and that the
Commissioners might require that
any chronic alcoholic voluntarily
applying for treatment pay the
cost Of his subsistence and care. g..
The bill would provide also that
Municipal Court judges might, after
hearing, commit a criminal case de-
fendant to the clinic for diagnosis
and treatment for not more than
80 days where the evidence indi-

+ But it rejected. to S, over the
objections of Senator Taft, the
idea of outlawing jurisdictional
strikes and secondary boycotts, as
the House bill would do. Instead,

Eliminates Checkoff Ban.
Usually jurisdictional strike
arises from a row between two un-
ions-not with the employer-over
the right to do a certain job. In
secondary boycott, employees re-
fuse to handle products or goods
Of some one for whom they do not
work.
The Senate committee also:
Eliminated a provision to ban the
involuntary checkoff. The House
bill would outlaw it, permitting en-
ployers to collect dues for unions
through payroll deductions only if
each employe authorized it in writ
ing.
Killed provision to erase well
fare funds administered solely by
unions. The House bill still has
such section.
The committee decisions still are
subject to change, both in the COM
mittee and on the Senate floor.
House Republicans have in mind
the possibility of presidential veto
of their bill, Speaker Martin says
the bill will pass by more than
the two-thirds majority required to
overriSe veto.

Virginia Phone Union
Says Tuck hissfafed
Facts on lis Dispute
By The Assorioted Press

RICHMOND, Va, April 15.-Gov.
Tuck was charged with a faulty"
analysis Of yirginia's current tele-
phone labor dispute and with
fragrant and gross misstatenent
OF fact" in a letter mailed to the
governor yesterday by Alfred v. At
kinson. general chairman of the
Virginia Federation Of Telephone
Workers.
The Atkinson letter was In reply
to a communication from Gov. Tuck
in which he accused the union, in
effect, Of bargaining Ia bad faith:
said it was apparent to him that the
VFTW "at no time intended to
settle the Virginia dispute" until the
national phone troubles were set
tied, and declared that the union
had violated the spirit Of the States
new public utility labor relations
act.
The VFTW chairman's letter, like
the Governors, concentrated around
a review Of negotiations between
the union and the Chesapeake g.
Potomac Telephone Co. of Virginia,
which broke OF in stalemate more
than a week ago, to be followed late
last week by the unions formal
notice of intention to strike on
May II.
Mr.. Atkinson said the Governors
summary of the proceedings ito
state it mildly, was faulty"
He said the Governors attempts"
to influence public opinion through
the weighted prestige of your office"
have and will continue to backfire, "
he added:
I'm my opinion, serious situation
has developed when the State lends
its strength by joining forces with
industry to fight the telephone men
and women whose record of unfal-
tsring service is unblemished."

employees and Office workers walked
out at the expiration of their con-
tracts with the Bell company and
its subsidiaries.
The peace plan was presented to
both factions by Mr.. Schwellenbach
when 1t seemed that the negotia-
tions were hopelessly begged down.
Surrounded by his top aides, Mr.
Warren and Assistant Secretary of
Labor John w. Gibson, Mr.. Schwel-
lenbach gave his plan tc company
and union officials after hastily
summoning them to his office.
| Immediately after the meeting,
Mr.. Schellenbach called reporters to
his Office to announce his proposal.
The 81 other local issues would be
settled by negotiation under the
Schwellenbach plan, with the arbi-
tration board to make its report
within 80 days, he declared.
In the public interest, this dis
pute must be terminated" Mr..
Schwellenbach said. II have lived
in mortal fear that as a result of
this strike some child will be de-
prived of medical care, some woman
will be prevented from going to the
hospital-all because the telephone
was not available"
When Mr.. Schwellenbach called
the contending leaders to his Office,
Mr. Craig mad steadfastly refused
to bargain with the NFTW on the
10 national demands, saying that
the negotiations must be conducted
by the more than 20 operating COM
panies throughout the Nation. The
union, on the other hand, fighting
for more closely knit national
organization, sought to bargain for
all its affiliated groups on the 10
big demands and rejected all pro-
posals for local arbitration.
Majority Decision Would Hold.
Mr.. Schwellenbach sought to iron
out this impasse by setting up a
single board of five persons to be
chosen by both parties, but author
izing the companies and unions to
submit their cases on any basis ac-
ceptable to the board.
Both parties would agree to abide
by majority decision of the board.
The board would decide:
l. All elements of the basic wage
issue.
2. Revision Of town classifications
3. The length of time it take to
i progress from starting wages to top
pay.
4. Length of vacations.
5. Leaves of absence for union OF :
ficials
s. Any other issue both parties
agree to submit to arbitration and
any points not settled in the next
f48 hours.
Z. Effective date of any pay
changes.
| Pleads for Support of Nation.
The intense negotiation" Mr..
Schwellenbach called for tomorrow
and Thursday would include these
issues:
Union security, service assistant
jobs. the pension plan, jurisdiction
of work and other existing local de-
mands-Which all 80 of the striking
unions have by the score.
I'm my own mind I know that this
proposal is fair" Mr.. SchweIenbach
asserted, land I ask the American
people to stand behind me-"
Meanwhile, picketing continued at

THE DEVIL

By T. A.'HALL, Milford, Del.
Only God can tell the Devil,
To go down deep and find his level
He's got no right upon this earth,
He's not got what souls are worth.
He's the father of all lies,
Saints of God he does despiSe;
He will trick you if he can,
He tried to trick the Son of man.
He's got sense of a kind,
Got enough 10 lead the blind;
Never leads in ways of light,
But ever leads towards Hell's mid
night.
Makes promises he never keeps,
Drags souls down DER rock sleeps,
Has not mercy, not one bit,
But lands them in his bottOmless pit.
Studying the Bible | have found
The Devil can't drag us around;
When he finds us on our knees,
For it's then read, it says he fees.
So if he botherS you, my friend,
Just find little time TO spend,
Right by yourself in secret prayer,
I'll guarantee he won't come there. II
