Dock Workers Win
JobIess Benefits I'm
Six-Week Strike

Baltimore, Md.-QLNS) = A
Court of Appeals decision that Bal
timore members of the Internation-
al Longshoremen's Association,
AFL, are entitled to unemployment
compensation for 6 weeks of a
1916 waterfront strike is hailed as
big labor victory.
Payment of the benefits had
been opposed by the Steamship
Trade Association and 8 Baltimore
firms.
What was then the State Unem-
ployment Compensation Board rul-
ed last year that the longshoremen
could be compensated for lack of
work from Sept. IA to Oct 26,
1916. Consecutive strikes by the
National Maritime Union (CIO),
the Masters, Mates and Pilots AS
sociation (AFL) and the Marine
Engineers Beneficial Association
(CIO) tied up Baltimore port ac-
tlvlty during the period.
The longshoremen said they could
not work because they feared their
safety in trying to cross picket
lines. They also asserted there was
no steam in American vessels when
they actually had orders to re-
port.
Attorney General Backs Union
The Trade Association replied
that the union made an agreement
with the strikers and that work
was available This made the long
shoremen interested parties to the
labor dispute and ineligible for
compensation association attorneys

The Appeals Court upheld a Bal
timore Superior Court decision
which affirmed the ruling of the
Unemployment Compen on
Board. The Maryland Attorney
Generals office joined the union
in fighting the appeal

The Individual A.F. Of L.
Member dnd Registration

"The success of the registration
and voting program of Labor's
Educational and Political League
depends in the final analysis, upon
its complete acceptance by the
rank-and-file membership of the
American Federation of Labor in
Ohio" says Phil Hannah, it's Secre-
ary-Treasurer.
Hannah continued:
at is the individual member, his
family and his friends who will ul-
timately bring success to the great
task which we are attempting; it
is the individual member who will
be the keystone, the very core of
Labor's Educational and Political
League.
"Without full, sincere participa-
tion by the individual member our
lofty aims will fail.
"Does the Individual member of
the American Federation of Labor
in Ohio want rising living stand
ards? Does he want to protect his
Union organization? Does he resent
the indignities that have been heap
ed upon Labor?
"With all our heart we are con-
vinced that he does. We are con-
vinced that he wants to defend the
gains won by his predecessors :.
the heroic members Of Organized
Labor who endured great trials
that we might achieve the status
we enjoy today.
eve believe that through his
friendly persuasion, his logic in
presenting the case of Labor versus
its Enemies, that thousands of
workers, their families and their
friends will pour out of homes,
plants, shops, factories, mines and
offices to march to registration
booths, to the polls :. in the great
demonstration of voting strength
ever witnessed in the State of
Ohio"

Food Prices S+oy AT High Level:
February Slump Had Little Effect

! Washington-Retail food price:
have stabilized at levels only about
21a per cent below the high peak
recorded during January despite
the highly publicized price break
which took place on the nations
primary markets in early Febru-
ary.
This was the conclusion to be
drawn from report released by
the Bureau of Labor statistics
which showed that retail prices de-
clined only slightly after the price
slump and have showed little
change during the period from mid
February to mid-March.
The BIS report on current prices
was based upon telegraphic sur
vey of II representative cities.
Meanwhile, retail prices for other
goods and services continued their
upward advance, the BIS declared.
The bureaus consumer price index
for mid-February was 1915 per-
cent of the 1859 average, eight
tenths of l per cent below the rec
ord peak of January.
Retail price increases between
January and February were re-
ported for almost all groups ex-
cept food. Recent changes in whole
sale prices in most lines, the bureau
said, gave little indication of i'm
minent declines.
The "a per cent decrease in re-
tail food prices was partly offset
by a 1.6 per cent increase in the
retail prices of apparel and frac-
tional increases in housefurnishings
fuel, electricity, ice and rent.
The bureaus comprehensive
wholesale price index for February,
reflecting the full amount of the
drop in agricultural prices, was
1907 per cent of the 1926 average.
The index was per cent below the
postwar peak of January and
slightly above the level of last No
vember.
Evan Clague, chief of the BIS,
pointed out that ordinarily primary
market price trends indicated the
direction which, retail prices would
take in the future.
The most recent information
available on general primary mar
ket prices is the bureaus weekly
index for the week ended March
20. That index now stands at 1915
per cent higher than in the week
ended March 13.
However, the comprehensive in
dex is almost 2 per cent lower than
it was at the start of the year,
mostly as a result of the February
drop in agriculture markets.

Rent increases of Is per cent are
sanctioned when landlord and
tenants agree on the terms of a
lease running through l949. Ten
ants who agreed to increase last
year cannot, however, be asked to
accept another one, and their pre-
sent rates are protected till the
termination of the act-March 81,
1949.
Hotel and MISUNDERSTANDING
rooming house accommodations are
decontrolled, where they are not
more than two paying guests in

All restrictions on the construc-
tion Of amusement and recreation
al buildings are done away with.
Most of the credit for the laws
being as good as it is must go to
Sen. Charles Tobey (R., n. HD.
Much of the blame for its being as
bad as it is goes to Rep. Jesse VOL
colt (R., Mich.).

leases, under provisions of exist
ing law, would be frozen" at the
stipulated rentals without any pyr-
amiding of an additional Is per
cent for the duration of the extern
sion.
Units operating under existing
voluntary" leases, that became
free from controls through vacancy
between Jan. l and the effective
date of the extension, would remain
uncontrolled.
Nonhousekeeping furnished rooms
in private homes lodging one or
two paying guests would be remov-
ed from controls
1t was made clear that it was
the intent of Congress that most
hotel accommodations were to be
removed from controls if customary
hotel services were made available,
even if not used.
Except for nonpayment or crea-
tion of a nuisance, a 60-day notice
would be required for eviction.
Evictions would also be possible for
dwelling alterations, occupancy by
landlords immediate family or
his election to withdraw the prop
erty from the rental market.
To combat the cooperative hous-
ing racket" in metropolitan areas,
it was provided that 65 per cent of
the stock in proposed cooperative
apartments had to be held by ten
ants and occupants. r~

Calling margarine taxes "dis-

of the international Association of

average workers earnings in 1947
amounted to about $500 a year.
"The workers budget of the U. S.

poses including food, and ran we'll
over $4,000 year for a family of

Similar views were expressed by
President j. A. Beirne of the Com
munications Workers of America
(ind. and others. The United Mine
Workers Journal said editorially:
"The argument of dairy interests

Continued from page thirty-three

didn't say her thoughts. She said,
Eyes, sir" with quiet dignity to
Mr.. Murphy, and creaked out.
OF course, she wasn't fired. A
half hour later, MIR. Murphy was
explaining he wouldn't think of
such thing. But for a day or
two, she'd be assigned to the sixth
floor, until that - he used a char
acterization never employed of a
Harden House guest, in the guests
presence - had left the hotel.
She was still there two years
later, somewhat creakier and more
stopped. Her bones we're a little
worse.
'They feel like there's a storm
always coming up" she explained
to a sympathetic guest, young
woman.
'Indeed?" The young woman
was finishing making up her face.
She glanced in a sudden, curious
moment of puzzlement at Mary.
There was something about the
phrase storm coming up" that
rang a half familiar bell distantly
in her mind. There was something
about the white hair, the faded
blue eyes and the creakiness that
was vaguely familiar.
Haven't met -" she began.
That is, weren't you here about
two years ago, when was last
here?"
Mary said Importantly, 1--we
been here more than thirty years"
The young woman frowned.
I'm almost sure it was you.
Remember "a phone call you
weren't going to say anything
about? Remember me now?"
. What is the name, ma amp"
Mary asked, politely.
'Corley now -"
1T sounds familiar -"
But it was Lee then"
Sounds very familiar" said
Mary. I'm quite sure do. Yes,
indeed. u. As l was saying about
my bones -"
BUT I heard you were fired"
said Mrs. Corley. Il heard my
mother had you discharged. l
even tried to find you through an
investigation agency, because -"
"Fned?" said Mary. Me! Why,
Mrs. - er - what's the name
again? - they wouldn't dream of
firing me! Why, do you know
what the President of the United
States once said to me? He said,

on and told precisely the other

had spoken to her. And all about

When Mary had finished, Mrs.
Corley said gently, you really

what is it again."
She knew, the next day, that
the guest in 929 had made an
error. He. or she, had slipped a
presumed dollar bill into an enve-
lope and left it on the table,
addressed to Mary, the Cham
bermaid." But it wasn't a one
dollar bill. Not by a fantastic
difference.
MARY, of course, turned the bill
in at the front Office. Mr.. Murphy
was highly pleased. Nothing is
better for a hotels reputation
than to have a guest make an
error like that, or leave his stuffed
wallet, or her ring behind pro-
viding it is found and promptly
turned in. He Immediately looked
up 929's former occupant and
wired a Mrs. H. G.. Corley, of
Shaker Heights, of her error. The
wire also stated that Harden
House was, of course, forwarding
its check by mail. He expected
that Mrs. Corley would be prop
erly grateful, perhaps to even
sending an appFeciatve note: or,
at least, spreading the word among
her friends of the remarkable hon.
esty of Harden House employees.
Instead he got a cryptic wire:
Have made no mistake. Gioe
Mary money and my regards.
MRS. H. G.. CORLEY
He followed instructions, of
course. He questioned Mary rather
closely as to the reason for the
staggering gift But Mary could
mt explain. She said she had never
heard of a Mrs. Corley in her life.
And she grew a little indignant
when Mr.. Murphy said it must
have been something she'd forgot
ten.
Her memory, she stated, was
perfect Why, she could remem-

the President said to her - and

"You see, Mary, Phyllis needs
careful watching. She is, ah, to
put it bluntly - somewhat man
crazy. You've no idea of the
trouble I've had keeping her from
making unfortunate alliances.
Why, for years I've had to watch
over her. guard her."
Mr.. Murphy found himself add
ing silently, of course -
o.. and spying on her and keep
ing her practically a prisoner"
Mr.. Murphy knew the type.
Mary said. I'm sorry no"
Something in her quietness con-
vinced Mrs. Lee it was hopeless.
She leaned back in her chair,
drew the dark furs closer, and this
time she let the agate look stay.
Fire her" she said coldly, to the
two managers.
Mr.. Boardman looked stunned.
But Mr.. Murphy had been ex-
pecting something of the sort.
He said, quietly - knowing it
would do no good - "Mary's been
here nearly thirty years, Mrs.
Lee"
Fire her." Mrs. Lee repeated
stonily.
AT her age, she could hardly
get another place." pointed out
Mr.. Murphy. He was curious as
to how far the old sadist would go.
He was positive now that's what
she was. Strange that 50 many of
the wealthy ones went in for good
works - but, of course, it gave
them the fullest opportunity of
bending victims to their wills.
MRS. LEE turned her hate-hard-
ened eyes on him. Fire her.

No sense in making scene.
Mr.. Murphy shrugged. glanced at
Mr.. Boardman, who was forcing
himself to remember that guests
are never insulted at Harden
House.
You're fired, Mary" said Mr..
Murphy:
1t was the fourth time Mary had
heard the word. 1t finally sank in
when Mr.. Murphy said it. She
opened her mouth to say some
thing - there was a rush of indig-
nant, incoherent thoughts through
her rusty old brain - something
about having worked in Harden
House for all these years, and if
her friend, the President of the
