Two Offer 'Yoking' Excuse
In False Fire Alarm Cases

Two men arrested for pulling
false fire alarms offered the same
excuse that they had been yoked
and robbed and were seeking help,
police reported.
On their appearance yesterday
in Municipal Court, Kenneth Har-
mon, 81, of the TOO block of Third
street Sc, was convicted and given
six months probation and Alfred
Carson, SO, colored, of the first block
of Quincy street NV, was given a
continuance to hire a lawyer.
After a string of witnesses had
testified they saw Harmon pull an
alarm at Second street and MaSsa-
chusetts avenue NV. and then walk
away, the defendant declared he did
it because two unidentified men had
robbed him of his wallet and foun-
tain pen.
Judge Almond w. Scott, however,
found the man had been lettering for
some time around the box. He also
warned Harmon that as part of his
sentence, he will have to repay the
District the $125 it cost to dispatch
nine pieces of fire appartus to the
alarm.
Policeman J. r. Tiffany reported
that, when he arrested Carson at
Sixth and S streets Saturday morn
ing, the defendant told him SINH
lar story of robbery. Eight fire en-
gines responded to that call.

Contract Snagged, ,
500 Quit at Briggs
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, June 8-An estimated
800 employees of the Briggs Manu-
featuring Co. walked out today after
the CIO United Auto Workers broke
off wage negotiations with the firm.
A union official said the walkout
might spread. The UAW rep1 esentS
$4,000 at Briggs.
The men who walked out were
employed at the Vernon Plant. Pro-
duction was not affected lmm2d
ately, the company said.
A company spokesman said the
men were told to leave the plant
by officers of local 212, UAW-CIO." }"
Jack Pearson, recording secretary
of local 212, denied that such orders
had been issued. He said the walk
out occurred because the workers
were fed up with the tactics the
company is trying to ram down their
throats at bargaining sessions.
The new sore spot in the auto
labor picture arose as the UAW-ClO
Executive Board was called into ses-
sion.
Union negotiators walked out on
contract talks yesterday after Briggs
had offered a 13-cent hourly boost
and the two sides seemed near an
agreement.
A few hours later Emil Macy,
head of the UAW negotiating team
and acting UAW president charged
before the executive board that the
company had failed to bargain IN
good faith.
The board, which has scheduled
sessions through Friday, also will
discuss wage talks with the Ford
Motor Co., to get underway next
Monday.
Computation of vacation pay and
hiring rates for engineering en-
ployes apparently were two stum-
Hing hlockS to a Briggs settlement.

Legislators Remarks
In CIoakrooms Held
Immune 10 Suits

Members Of Congress are free to
say what they please in Capitol
cloakrooms without fear Of suit
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough OF
District Court ruled yesterday in dis
missing part Of defamation suit
brought against Representative
Rankin, Democrat, of Mississippi.
Justice Goldsborough, a former
member Of the House from Mary
land, made clear his belief that the
immunity enjoyed by members OF
Congress on the floor extends to the
cloakrooms.
He took a different view, however
Of conversations with newspaper
men.
The suit was brought by Brig. Gen
Herbert c. Holdridge, retired, a can
didate for the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination.
Gen. Holdridge accused Mr..
Rankin of calling him a "crackppt'
in a Capitol cloakroom in February,
1916. He also accused Mr.. Rankin
Of referring to him as crazy" in a
telephone conversation with news
paperman in June, 1916. Gen.
Holdridge asked 100000 damages.
Justice GoldSborough dismissed
the portions of the suit involving
the cloakroom conversation but did
not dismiss the part of the suit
dealing with the telephone conver-
sation. He did rule, however, that
any damage would have to be from
the conversation itself, if true, and
not from subsequent publication.
During arguments on motions in
the case last month, Justice Colds
borough said counsel for Gen. Hold
ridge would have to convince him
that the cloakroom is not part OF
the "hall of Congress.
II am firmly of the conviction,
the jurist said, that it would be an
outrageous thing If members of
Congress could not discuss matters
freely in the cloakroom."

Owner Of High Dairy
Is Fined Total Of $3.50
As Labor Law VioIator

C. Y. Stephens, owner of the
High Dairy Products Co., 1926 One
half street Sc, today was fined a
total of $3.50 on 16 counts of female
age-and hour law violations to
which he pleaded guilty before
Judge George D. Nelson in Munic-
ipal Court.
Mr.. Stephens, owner of the string
of about so Highs dairy stores here,
told the judge he did not know
personally that the violations were
being committed during March and
April. He said that he "just hired
the personnel, and left it up to his
branch managers to keep the en-
ployment records"
The charges, some of which were
third -offense violations, involved
about 20 woman employees. The
Minimum Wage Board complained
that the women were either en-
ployed more than eight hours day
or more than 48 hours week and
more than six days a week. The
board also charged the company
failed to keep daily records of hours
worked.
Judge Nelson imposed the fines
on the separate counts as follows:
5000 each on two second-offenSe
violations, $50 on one first-offense
charge and $3.50 on each of two
third-offense charges. He also i'm
posed $3.50 fines on each of IL
other charges, payments being
stayed on payment of the other
fines. Mr.. Stephens paid immedi-
ately after his court appearance.
The dairy firm was convicted and
fined $500 on similar charges in
1914 and fined another $50 on the
same charges in 1945, court records
showed.
1t was the stiffest penalty i'm
posed for such violations in more
than a year.
