Beware ofthe Cats Paw

Frustrated individuals who have long used legitimate
and popular organizations and publications pawns in
their game yeped loud this week because the Tribune
gave readers the FACTS in the Murray Corporation
strike
The TRIBUNE always believes in giving its readers
the facts on any important issue before the community.
Why did this radical communistic faction Of labor
movement protest the printing OF the story?
Why didn't this faction give the readers Of the
Negro press opportunity read the facts in the case?
Why did they want the facts of the soft-pedal-
ed before the strike vote?
We believed the workers should have the facts before
voting to strike and them the facts.
Not satisfied with attempting to inftrate the Amer
lean labor movement this group attempts 60 influence
the NAACP and use il cats paw 20 pull their chest
out of the fire Il racial issue but they

We are firm believers in free labor
ment and free press.
But unalterably opposed to wildcat strikes
and stoppages that endanger the labor movement and
opposed to fooling the Of workers into
making martyrs out Of who have deliberately vio-
lated their contract We opposed to making the
jory of workers and their families suffer because Of the
responsibility of a few.
We object to communist leaders who seek to use the
labor movement the NAACP and the Negro press
complish their own unsavory goals and selfish ends
Intelligent members of the union and employees Of

forces We hope that their to strike prove it.

A committee Of five governors
visited Meharry Medical College
at Nashville. Tenn. on the invi-
tation OF the trustees and re-
ported favorably on the offer
to make the college a regional
state-supported institution.
Included on the committee
were Willard Caldwell of Flo
rida, chairman; William Tuck of
Virginia. NJ. E. Thompson OF
Georgia. w. Preston Lane Of
Maryland. and James McCord
of Tennessee.
The governors hope by the
establishment of a regional uni

now-famous case OF Mrs. Ada
Lois Sipuel-Fisher for whom the
court ordered immediate law

AS Delegates Elected
BY Fairfax Democrats

Forty-five delegates were elected
last night to attend the Fairfax
County Democratic Convention next
Monday.
The delegates were chosen at
meetings in the six magisterial dis
tricts. Delegates were elected ac-
cording to precincts. with each pre-
cinct choosing its delegates during
caucus sessions at the district meet
ings. Delegates were chosen from
among candidates who filed before
the deadline last week. There was
a contest in only one precinct,
Vienna.
In Vienna seven candidates filed
for the six delegates allotted from
that precinct. Elected were Mrs.
Eula J. O'Sullivan, Mrs. Jean Dunn
Freeman, Jesse j. Ramey, Hubert
j. Gerken, w. Alvord Sherman and
Walter J. Dowling. The defeated
candidate was Charles E. Babcock
A contest also was anticipated in
Annandale, where five candidates
had filed and only four delegates
could be elected. One of the candi-
dates, Edwin Lynch, withdrew. and
Edward K. Uhler, John C. Webb,
Omar L. Hirst and Mrs. Eleanor K.
Morrow were elected.

Arlington Schools Gel
$4,000 Less Than
Expected for Year

Arlington County schools are pre-
pared to operate during the fiscal
year beginning July on a budget
of $2,217,000, an amount 1927 900 less
than the School Board had antici-
pated.
The reduced budget, adopted at a
meeting last night, was necessitated
by refusal of the County Board to
grant the full appropriation re-
quested by school authorities. The
School Board had requested ST.
975,00O from the county but re-
ceived only $1,75o,0O0. The total
budget also includes $447,00O from
the State and $4,000 from tuitions
and fees.
Because Of the reduced County
Board appropriation, the School
Board voted to eliminate plans for
full day sessions in first and second
grades; cost of living and depend
ency bonuses for teachers, and a
$4,000 item for recreation. Cost
of the full day sessions had been
estimated at $115 900 and the teach
ers' bonuses at 100000. The board
also reduced budgetary items for
maintenance by $4,000 and for in
structional supplies by $4,000, and
pared several items in order to set
up a 100000 contingency fund.
Because the County Boards con-
tribution was made in the form OF
lump sum, rather than as a per-
centage of tax receipts, the School
Board cannot look forward to addi-
tional funds because of excess tax
collections. Therefore, board men,
bers said, the contingency fund is
necessary.
commemorative Attorney Den
man T. Rucker told the board that
it has legal authority to employ
attorneys to represent it before the
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
in a suit brought by the former
School Board. Defense Of the suit,
in which the constitutionality of the
present board is challenged, has
been supplied free by attorneys,
with expenses met by public sub
scription.

street to Wilson boulevard.
Water was played on storage tanks
and on the fractioning tank to cool
them down as firemen sought to
quell the blaze at its source. This
was finally accomplished by Mr..
Biggs in his daring trip to the valve
at the base of the burning tank.
The nearest building to the fam
ing tanks was the distance of a
city block away and was not in
danger.
MI. Worthington refused to esti-
mate the damage He said, how
ever, that the plant would be forced
to close until repairs could be made.
The second man injured as re-
suit of the fire was Charles Wheat
ley, an Arlington fireman who hurt
his foot when he tripped over hose.
He was released after treatment at
Arlington Hospital.

Alexandra Carnival Da|strom Again Held
Closes Ahead Of Time On Traffic Charqe

The Alexandria carnival, which
last week prompted a gambling con-
troversy, left the city week ahead
Of schedule.
The carnival, Prell's Broadway
Shows, was being sponsored by the
st. Mary's and ST. Pauls Boys
Clubs, which were to receive a
share OF the profits.
The gambling controversy began
when City Councilman Jack Tulloch
said he had received complaints
that games of chance were being
conducted at the carnival. The next
night Is games at the carnival were
shut down.
Many Of the games were permitted
to reopen when it was decided they
were games of skill rather than
gambling.
Edward J. Weiners of St Mary's
Boys Club, said show officials de-
cided to move on rather than cause
ANY more commotion." He said he
would not know for some time
whether the two boys clubs would
receive any money from the venture.
