scendant of the Poo,e family,
founders of Poolesville. Bishop
Dun and former U. S. Senator Rad
cliffe will speak. A history of the
church will be read by Mrs. Beryl
Grey. Those desiring to visit the
site of the old Monocacy Chapel of
Ease at Beallsville will then do so.
st. Peters Church in Poolesville,
like other Episcopal churches in
Maryland, had its origin in the
efforts of the early settlers to ,es-
tablisll the Church of England on
Maryland shores.
Built by Franklin Viers, in early
American style of brick made in
Poolesville and laid in American
bond style, the church has the dig
nifty of simple lines and fine pro-
portions in its three galleries and
nave. with Gothic windows.
The cost of $4,000 for the
church, which is 80 feet wide by &c
feet deep, was lightened by. the
generous gifts of friends in Balti-
more, without whose aid the build
ing could not have been under
taken. Various requests and lega-
cies through the century and an
endowment fund established in
1871 have aided in needed repairs
and equipment.
Though Northern soldiers were
encamped in large numbers in
Poolesville and the vicinity, st. Pc
ter's Church seems to have escaped
all damage from either Army dur
ing the tragic War Between the
States. However the Monocacy
Chapel at Beallsville was used to
stable horses by the Northern
troops who burned the pews, and
enough Notwithstanding to render
it unfit for use. Damages were
claimed, and were paid many years
later by the Federal Government.
The present Monocacy Chapel To-
Gated in the Cemtery at Beallsville,
was built in 1912 by the United
Daughters of the Confederacy. It
is used only for Chapter meetings,
interdenominational memorial serv-
ices and funerals.
st. Peters Church was conse.
Grated on February 18th, 1850, by
Bishop William R. Nottingham
of the Diocese of Maryland.
In 1890 recessed frame chan
eel, vestry room, and brick vesti-
bule and tower were added and the
Ichurch was redecorated in 1886. At
that time choir stalls carved with
crosses, made from the old church
pews by the late Rev. Guy Crook,
were installed. Electric lights re-
placed the old oil lamps in the fine
crystal chandelier and in the side
lights in 1928, and since then an
oil burner has replaced the old coal
furnace. A Hammond organ was
purchased by the Guild of st. Pc
ter's in recent years. The rectory,
a frame house, built in 1880 at a
cost of 1000, has now been sup
piled with an oil burner also.

To Amend Wage Low

The CIO suggested today that
Congress work out basis by
which the huge claims of unions
for back portal-to-portal pay
could be compromised or settled
through collective bargaining.
Lee Pressman, CIO general coun-
sci, made the suggestion in testify
ing before the Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee which is considering
legislation to ban or curb portal pay
suits resulting from a recent Su-
|preme Court decision.
Mr.. Pressman gave the first indi-
cation tina tthe CIO was willing to
compromise its suits with industry
after he had declared that the big
union organization was forced to
file the suits because industry re-
fused to bargain on the point and
because of AFL attempts to raid
CIO unions.
/ Under the Wage-Hour Act there
is no direct prohibition against set
tlement of claims through collective
bargaining, but compromises ar
rived at in that way do not release
pan employer from liability or court
claims for violation of the act.
