Yes, it is something fairly new

died before that time, the wife will
be buried in the same grave site

Phone Workers Told
To Remain on Job
Nv the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-About
$4,000 telephone workers who had
been poised for strike this morning
were told to stay on the job after a
settlement was reached giving them
an average pay increase of about
$40 weekly.
The strike would have affected
telephone service in most of the
Nation.
The agreement came yesterday on
the eve Of the strike deadline after
four months Of negotiations be-
tween the CIO American Communi-
cation Equipment Workers and the
Western Electric Co.
Must Be Ratified by Union.
Western Electric is q manufac-
turing subsidiary Of the American
Telephone k Telegraph Co. The
employees make, install and main
tain central-ofdce telephone equip
mert.
The settlement, which must be
ratified by union members, gives the
workers increases of to Is cents
an hour in the most populous areas,
and 8 to IA cents an hour In less
populous areas.
Ernest Weaver, union president,
said the increases would average II
cents an hour, or $40 week. Pre-
vious wages, he said, averaged $1.15
an hour, or $46 a week.
Union Is "Not Satisfied"
Philip Murray, CIO president, and
Stanley Bracken, Western Electric
president, participated in the nego-
tiations here which were climaxed
by an all-night session Wednesday
night.
Mr.. Weaver said the union was
mot satisfied with this settlement,
even though 1t is, to our knowledge,
the best made by any Bell System
Co"
He said the strike call was post
poned indefinitely, adding that he
felt a strike at this time to improve
the terms would not be worth
while"

The company made no immediate
comment on the agreement.
The new pact extends the contract
to November 30, 1850, but gives the
union the right to reopen the con-
tract on wages after September IS,

Questions and answers:

From Mrs. g. #. p, Oklahoma
City: Il am the dependent parent
Of a serviceman who was killed in
the war. My compensation is $54 a
month. Will 1t be raised to $50, as
you stated in your column, and if
so, when?"
Yes, it will, If you remain a de-
pendent parent. The increase went
into effect September l, which
means you won't notice it until your
September check arrives at the end
of the month.
From L. w. r., New Orleans: Can
veteran get a service connected
disability compensation for hay
fever?"
Very doubtful, I'd say. Hay fever,
like other allergic diseases, is some
thing you are born with. For in
stance, say you lived in Arizona be-
lore you went into the Army. When
sent overseas you began to get seri-
GUS attacks of asthma. You blamed
1t on the service and thought you
had a service-cornected disability.
But actually, you probably always
had the asthma. You just didn't
know about 1t because Arizona is a
place where you wouldn't. Bad
asthma cases go there to escape 1t.
VA doctors probably would say the
same thing about your hay fever.
Still. YOU certainly can apply for
compensation.

Keeeh Expected 10 Ac'
Today on New Stay !
of Patton Execution

District Court Justice Richmond
B. Keech was expected to act today
on a move to delay the execution of
Jesse James Patton, %, convicted
murderer, which was scheduled for
Friday.
AS was done in the case of Regi-
maid j. Wheeler, 26, scheduled to die
with Patton for the hold-up murder
of Maurice L. Bernstein at his drug
store in the 100 block of Florida
avenue NV. in June, 1916, a petit
ton for writ of habeas corpus
was filed in court yesterday.
Execution of the two men, both
colored, has been postponed nine
times, pending appeals and a plea
for executive clemency, all of which
failed.
Justice Edward A. Tamm refused
to issue writ in the Wheeler case,
but signed an order providing that
Wheeler's custody remain undis-
turbed, pending action on appeal
from his refusal to issue q writ.
The Patton petition, like that
filed in the Wheeler case, contended
that a statute requires the chief
justice of the United States Court
of Appeals to sit in at hearings on
all appeals. 1t said this was not
done when Patton's appeal was acted
on and his conviction affirmed by
the appellate court. The chief JUS
tice then was D. Lawrence Groner,
since retired.
The petition for Patton was filed
through Attorneys Wesley Williams
and Curtis Mitchell. Attorney
James J. Laughlin acted on behalf
of Wheeler.

Husky Man Disarms
Policeman, FIees After.
Attempt 10 Arrest Him

A search was under way today for
a husky man who disarmed and
threatened to shoot a policeman at
tempting to arrest him for tamper-
ing with an automobile.
The incident began about 1910
am. in front of the FL Salvador am
bassador's residence at 2142 Wy
oming avenue NV, and ended with
a score of policemen searching Rock
Creek Park for the fleeing man.
He was described as a 6-foot, 190-
pound colored man wearing dark
brown clothes.
Seized Near Car of Enjoys Son.
The policeman, Pvt. Louis Deeb,
of the thirteenth precinct, said he
saw him acting suspiciously near
the car belonging to DR.. Hector
Castro, a dentist, and son of the
Salvadorian Ambassador, Hector
David Castro.
When the man fled, Pvt. Deeb
fired one shot that brought him up
short. But as they. started for a
police call box at Connecticut and
Wyoming avenues, the suspect
dashed away and was collared after
"a 110-foot chase.
Seconds later the man started
struggling and both fell to the
ground, with the policeman on the
bottom. Selling the pistol, the sus-
pect fed again, with Pvt. Deeb in
pursuit. When the policeman al
most caught up at Twenty-third

warned him to stop or he would
shoot.

at his quarry and continued to
chase him until he was outdistanced

the episode was Miss Maria Castro,
