INES had changed Even though the pay
for night watchn1en had been increased six
times. 1t no longer attracted robust young
lrlshmen. The Harden House guard had aged
until the youngest was sixty-four, the oldest
seventy-two. They were all semi-pensioners
now, like Benjamin Rourke. who had been
an hotel electrician until his eyes grew too
weak to see defects in the wiringe Then he
took telephone messages in Engineering -
until deafness came upon him. Then he moved
light boxes in Storeroom - until he was too
feeble even for that. So they made him a night
watchman. That is they fitted him into an
imposing blue uniform with bright silver
buttons, and assigned him to patrol the eighth.

locking the door behind him, the tiny

the chambermaid to 60 in and clean up.
When the window was white, the guest
was inside, but hadn't locked his door.
They were wonderful - but they had
a flaw. Sneak thieves. who occasionally
penetrated to the red-carpeted corridors,
caught onto them and had picnic for
while. They strobe confidently into
rooms where the lock windows showed
white in the small hours of the morning,
and generally found the occupants asleep.

DETROIT, Oct. s. Republican
National Chairman Carroll Reece
declared today that if price controls
are re-established, the Nation will
have to bring back rationing ano
controls on wages.
Mr.. Reece, in a speech at the f1na'
session of the two-day conference
of Republican women leaders from
10 Mid-Western States, termed the
cost of living more than a politica
issue"
ut is significant that many of the
advocates of restoration of price
controls are also persons who look
with friendly eye upon con-
trolled economy - and If we go
back to such controlled economy
at this time it may well be that we
will have such system fastened
upon us permanently" he added.
Mr.. Reece asserted, THE cold
brutal fact is that we have In the
United States today a serious de-
gree of imitation and we are threat
ened with more imitation, like pow
er, fed upon ITSELF"
Mr.. Reece said the New Dea
spending policies, combined with it:
"slaughtering of pigs" plowine
under of cotton and restricting the
acreage of corn and wheat" had

Expressmen's 5 Strike
In New York flinders
Store Shipping Here

Downtown Washington stores in
dicated today that many of them
have been seriously inconvenienced
by the strike of the 1000 Railway
Express workers in New York which
has virtually stopped the shipment
Of certain types of merchandise in
and out of New York.
Some Washington stores already
have resorted to the use of parcel
post and air freight for the ship
ment Of women's hats and ready
to-wear clothing.
S. w. Hughes, Washington agent
for Railway Express, estimated to-
day that business had fallen off
about Is per cent here as a result
OF the New York strike, and ad-
mitted he might have to consider
laying off some of his drivers If
the strike continued. He said driv-
ers making the deliveries to depart
ment stores probably would be the
first laid off.
No talk of a sympathy strike to
aid the New York drivers has been
reported on the part of Railway
Express drivers. The drivers are
members of the Railway Clerks
Union, while the 400 strikers in New
York are members of the Teamsters
Union.
Mayor William O'Dwyer entered
the strike in New York yesterday
in half-hour meeting with officials
Of the striking union. After the
meeting he said only that he would
continue efforts to settle the dis
pute, which hinges on wage in
