fishers spokesman reported no
progress yesterday in negotiations
between the striking Chicago Typo
graphical Union and the Chicago
Newspaper Publishers Association.
John F. OKeefe, association secre-

sisting that the publishers offer
of s6 weekly wage increase is
inadequate"

against Chicago's six major daily
newspapers since November "a. Mr..
OKeefe described the unions wage
demands as fantastic" but did not
give any figures.
A $6 raise would bring the print
ers' weekly scale to $9150 for day
work and $97 for night work.
Another negotiating session will
be held Monday, Mr.. O'Keefe said.

New York Printers
Refuse 10 Abandon
'Made-Work' Policy
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, April 9.-Represent-
atives of AFL union printers have
rejected the demands of major New
York City newspapers that the un-
ion give up its bogus clause" policy
and other practices described by the
publishers as "wasteful."
The union shall continue to re-
,sist any attempts on the part of
the publishers to negotiate these
clauses out of the contract" Lau-
renee H. Victory, president of the
AFL International Typographical
Unions New York local, said yes
terday. He defended the practices
as valuable to the newspaper indus
try and printers alike.
In Contracts Since 1907.
The bogus clause" has been car
7ried in the printers contracts with
the New York newspapers since 1907.
1t stipulates that advertising mate
rial received in ready-to-print form
by the newspapers must be reset in
the individual newspaper shops.
Mr.. Victory said retention of the
clause was essential in assuring a
stable and adequate work force for
the publishing industry, and as an
indispensable safeguard against
widespread unemployment on the
part of our members"
The 1TU local and the IA major
daily newspapers here have been
negotiating for several weeks to work
out a new contract to replace the
one that expired March 81. About
$500 printers, who have remained
on the job since expiration of the
contract, are involved in the nego-
tiations.
Some Issues Settled.
Mr.. Victory announced the
unions rejection of the publishers
demands at the close of yesterdays
session. Some issues already have
been disposed of and Mr.. Victory
expressed hope that 9 full settle
ment of all differences would be
reached over the weekend.
The publishers called for the
elimination of unnecessary cost
factors" at the Wednesday session.
The action was sought, a news
paper spokesman said, "In an effort
to be able to justify an additional
expenditure on wages"

Her hobbies are swimming and

Governor Lane has proclaimed
the week Of October 8 to 9 as Fire
Prevention Week in Maryland.
The need for considering the
wisdom of preventing fires in
Maryland was never more urgent
than at the present time, according
to State Insurance Commissioner
Claude A. Hanley, the General
Chairman of the Maryland Fire
Safety Committee.
Among other things, Commits
sioner Hanley stated that the prin-
cipal causes of fire are attributed
to the failure Of people to avoid
careless habits with respect to the
use of cigarettes and matches,
which is the chief offender, failure
to use common prudence in handl-
ing gasoline and other fiammable
liquids, faulty and makeshift cleo
trio wiring, permitting the accumu-
lation Of rubbish, neglecting needed
repairs in heating equipment and
defective fues.
The Commissioner further re-
marked that the tragic loss of life
and property can be easily reduced
to a minimum if the general public
will give little thought pd effort
to the problem.
During Fire Prevention Week
the attention of the people through
out the Nation will be drawn to fire
hazards and the ways and means
of eliminating all conditions which
contribute to fire losses.

which to observe Fire Prevention

The Charter-A Birds
Eye View
(Bu the Charter Committee

The proposed Charter for Mont
.gomery County, which will be sub
mitted to a vote on November 2, is
a framework for county govern
ment. 1t lays down, the basic rules
according to which our public bust
ness is to be conducted. In several
respects it is like constitution.
In their sovereign capacity as vot-
crs the, people. of the county, and
only they, can adopt it, amend it,
or do away with it entirely.
The Charter was drafted by a
Charter Board, composed of five
outstanding citizens of the county,
who We're chosen by majority of
the voters in 1916 to do the job.
During the six months allotted to
them by the Maryland Constitution
in which to complete their work
the Board held public hearings
throughout the county. Every citi-
zen who so desired was afforded
the opportunity to make sugges-
tons and recommendation as to
what it should contain. Many or
CARNATIONS and hundreds of indi-
viduals, either by letter, in person
or through authorized spokesmen,
made recommendations to. the
Board which were incorporated
into the final draft of the Charter.
So, the process by which it has
been presented to the electorate is
thoroughly democratic in all of its
aspects. If adopted, its operation
promises to be equally democratic.
AS a whole the Charter provides
for the Council-Manager form of
local government, which was de-
veloped over 40 years ago in re-
Spouse to widespread demand
for more businesslike, efficient
and economical method of han
ding public business. Its outstand-
ing success has resulted in its
adoption by over 800 communities
of all sizes throughout the United
States and number in foreign
countries.
The following outline of the
Charter is intended merely to af-
ford a bird's-eye view Of each Of
the component parts of the entire
instrument.
