Shutdown Of Furriers
To Be Urged tuesday
In Labor Dispute
BY the Assoeioisd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 18.-Complete
shutdown in the industry here is
threatened by directors Of the Asso-
ciated Fur Coat and Trimming Man.
ufacturers, Inc, because Of a labor
dispute.
The Board Of Directors, which an
nounced yesterday it will urge the
75o member companies to close down
because Of the dispute, also said
more than $4,000 of the $4,000 work
ers in the city fur industry are un-
employed because of current black
business.
The employers are at odds with the
Furriers' Joint Council of New York,
unit Of the International Fur and
Leather Workers Union (CIO)
mainly over wages and job security.
viii Meet Tuesday.
Closing will be recommended at
a meeting Of all members next Tues
day.
Irving Potash, vice president of
the union and chief of the New York
Joint Council, said the closing move
Is proposed lockout" and is
ridiculous because only a handful
of men are now working" Those
working are on part-time basis,
he added.
Mr.. Potash estimated 1880 of
the $4,000 are idle.
The employers association, claim
ing its members represent the major
part of the industry in the Nation
as well as the city, said that II q
shutdown could be averted the pro-
gressive unemployment of the past
several weeks would level off soon.
Wage Spiral Assailed.
J. George Greenberg, executive
manager of the association, said,
Manufacturers are in most pre-
carious position in continuing oper-
ations." He declared "the constant
spiral Of wages without the right
OF reasonable adjustments is q dis
ttnct menace to the future welfare
Of both labor and management"
Both Mr.. Potash and employer
spokesmen agree that the main is
sue Of the dispute is the "two-price
system" which provides lower pay
rates during the January-to-June
slow season than during the July
to-December heavy season.
This system was dropped during
the war, when demand for furs was
consistently heavy, but an employer
spokesman said yesterday the in
dustry wants to reinstate it. He said
the employers also want the union
officers to sign non Communist af-
f1davits under the Taft Hartley law.

Do Not Scour
Your Tinware

Arizona homemakers are warned
by Grace Ryan, extension service
home-management specialist, not
to 'scour Mexican tinware that is
used so much here in the South
west.
The way to clean tin barbecue
plates, sandwich trays, sconces, and
other tinware is to use dry baking
soda and a dry soft cloth. Never
use a harsh abrasive. This same
rule applies to chromium as we'll as
tin.
Tin baking pans should be allow
ed to become dull. They cannot be
kept shining without damage.
There is no advantage in shining
baking tins, because they absorb
heat better when they are dull.
Chroium is soft metal and wears
off easily if rubbed with metal pol
ish or cleaning powder. 1t keeps it's
shine with no more strenuous
cleaning than washing in soapy
water and rinsing.
The popular metal-Surface sinks
should not be secured with abra-
sives, either, for they too will be
scratched. They will keep a good
surface with ordinary cleaning with
non-abrasive meaterials.

Negro Loops Obstacle
Is "Territory"

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 27 (UP)
Territorial rights were named
by President George M. Trautman
of the National Association of Pro
fessional Baseball Leagues as the
"big obstacle" to the admission
of Negro leagues into organized
baseball.
Trautman's statement was made
yesterday in reply to disclosures
by John H. Johnson, president OF
the Negro National League, and
j. B. Martin of the Negro Ameri-
can League that their loops had
applied for status as minor leagues
and had been denied.
Trautman said the Negro league
Fclubs were "for the most part
playing in major league and minor
league parks, in territory control
led by these clubs"
Trautman disclosed that letter
he sent to Johnson and Martin on
Dec. II, 1947, read in part:
"The committee was of the opin-
ion that it would be impossible tc
do anything with these applica-
tions at this time, other than tc
express a sympathy for your prob
lens and to offer our aid in help
ing you set up an organization that
would meet your needs. Just what
could be done eventually abou'
this situation, am not now pre-
pared to say"

Mrs. w. Kenny Visits
Home State on Baha'i
Lecture Tour

Mrs. Robert w. Kenny, wife of
the former Attorney General of
California and chairman of the Ba-
hal Teaching Committee of Los
Angeles, has inspired audiences at
the Baha'i Centers in Phoenix and
Tucson, during recent visit to
Arizona, with lectures on Baha'i
faith. She also spoke at Arizona
State College in Tempe.
Having spent several years stu
dying the critical trend of world
events while living in London and
Paris, Mrs. Kenny returned to
Phoenix where her father, DR.. Will
liam Duffield, practiced medicine
in the early 1900s. She has recent
ly been elected a delegate to the
annual Baha'i Convention to be
held in the beautiful Baha'i Temple
in Chicago during April and May.
Mrs. Kenny stresses the need
for a universal faith by which hu-
manity can guide itself through the
turbulent months to come. She en-
phasized that the belief in one God
and the brotherhood of man is COM
mon to all great religions. "Why
then should the various religions
fight among themselves over non
essential differences? This is the
message of BAHIA 'llah, the Found
er of the Baha'i Faith, who called
all races and peoples to come to-
gether in concord and harmony
over 80 years ago. This world faith
will inspire the establishment of
a world civilization which was also
outlined to the rulers and kings of
the world at the time America was
passing through the Civil War.
The Guardian of the Baha'i Faith
who resides at Haifa, Palestine, the
World Center of the Faith, predicts
this future for humanity when
they have embraced this world
faith, National rivalries, hatreds,
and intrigues will cease, and racial
animosity and prejudice will be re-
placed by racial amity, and under
standing and cooperation. The
causes of religious strife will be
permanently removed, economic
barriers and restrictions will be
completely abolished. Destitution
on the one hand, and gross accu-
mutation of ownership on the 9TH
er, will disappear.
Weekly study and discussion
classes in Phoenix are held at the
Baha'i Center, 1876 West Van Bur-
en-, Sunday evenings at 8 p. m. The
topic for Sunday, March 7, is "The
Purpose of Religion" Childrens
classes are held at same address
Sunday mornings at II a. m. The
public is invited to attend.

New Grass Killers
Reported at Confab

Several grass killers, some of
them Selective, are among the most
promising new developments in the
weed control field, reports Profess
or Howard P. Cords of the Univer-
sity of Arizona, who recently at
tended the tenth annual meeting
of the Western States Weed Con-
troll conference held in Sacramen-
to.
The meeting drew a number OF
national and international special
lists in weed control who, with the
western officials, drew up a set OF
recommendations for the coming
year which will be made public
soon. Equipment companies dis
played and demonstrated about 81
different types of machines to ap-
ply herbicides, including seven
kinds of airplane equipment.
New chemical weed. killers were
reported on by Lewis Evans of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture,
who told the record crowd of 5OU
that some of the most promising
ones are ammonium trichloroace-
tate a grass killer; sodium isopro-
py1 xanthate, a general weed kill
er; and allyl chloropheny1 carbon
ate, a selective grass killer.
A national weed conference was
suggested as desirable in the far
from finished fight against weeds.
Although none of the weed kill
ers mentioned above have been
tried in Arizona as yet, undoubted-
ly all or some of them will be tried
here in the future, Professor Cords
explains.
