Phone Union Lifts
Pickets After Day
Talks Between Management and
Labor Resume as 17-HOur
Strike Ends

Telephone service went back to nor
NAL yesterday in Western Maryland
as picketing members of Commune
cations Workers of America, CLIO,
were removed from Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone company buildings
at midnight Tuesday night.
In Oakland telephone service re-
NAMED about as usual, although there
were pickets at the exchange and
business offices on Third street, in
the business area, and the garage on
north Third. Attempts to persuade
telephone office employees not to cross
the picket lines appeared not to be
too successful.
Robert o. Slemmer, president of the
local 21O5, CWA-CIO, termed the
strike Every successful" in Cum
berland, where operators refused to
cross picket lines. Elsewhere in the
district the union received less CO.
operation.
walkout was in Cumberland, Frost
burg, Oakland, Hagerstown and Fred
erick, to express the unions dissatis-
faction with lack of progress made
in contract talks. He said the union
feels its men are entitled to as good
wage and contract settlement as in
other parts of the Bell System.
Pickets were on duty II hours be-
ginning at a. m.
w. Griffin Morrel, vice-president of
the company, declared, 1.-THE action of
the union in calling this strike is
characteristic of the tactics they have
employed throughout the contract
negotiations. The company sees no
justification in this strike, particu-
larly in view of the c t that it
comes at a time when the union has
before it liberalized wage proposal
made by the company on July H."
Union and company negotiators
went back into conference in Balti-
more. Plant and commercial employees
are seeking seniority rights, readjust-
ment of wages and holiday pay in a
new contract. The union says it is
seeking 10 percent increase. The
company's last reported offer provided
increases ranging from 81 to $12 a
week.
Workers Sign Contract
The telephone company and its
plant and commercial employees last
night signed new one-year contract
calling for pay increases ranging
from So to $40 week. Vice president
Morrel declared the company would
need more income to meet "record
high labor costs and other rising
costs"
The utility has applied to the Mary
land Public Service Commission for
an increase in telephone rates. The
request has not yet come before the
commission for action.

GOVERNOR SEEKS
zELLER'S REPORT
IN TRUCK CASE
Grantsville Magistrates Decision
Appealed BY States Attorney
Dwight Slower

Governor McKeldin yesterday asked
Magistrate Charles S. Zeller, Grants
vile, for complete report" on the
recent dismissal of truck overweight
charges against John o. Riley, of Ac-
cident.
Zeller, in dismissing the case July
9, called Maryland's new truck over
weight law confusing, poorly writ
ten and a hardship" The state
charged Riley with driving truck
overweighted 100 pounds.
McKeldins request came the day
after Maryland's attorney general an
nounced that the state has the right
to take an appeal to the Circuit Court
in cases where magistrates return an
acqu;ttal verdict for truckers found
not guilty of overlooking charges.
McKeldins letter to Zeller was
released as an Improvement associa-
ton in Baltimore urged Zeller's dis
missal for committing a "rebellious
act" and as Zeller's verdict was APP
pealed.
McKeldin specifically asked the
magistrate for detailed reasons for
his saying the law is so confusing as
to be unenforceable-i Zeller was
quoted correctly as saying that.
Last night Zeller said he did not
call the law unenforceable, but he did
say ''the law is subject to several in
terpretations. 1t really is working a
hardship in this section X and it
is poorly written"
Zeller said he hadn't received the
governors letter, but upon hearing
the contents of the Governors letter
he said Il would recommend to any
fairminded person to read the law
and see if it is confusing" He said
Riley's attorneys objected to the way
the state figured the amount of over
weight. They pointed out that the law
specifies "axleload" but the state
measures the weight by sticking scales
under the wheel, thereby weighing the
wheel and axle as well. He said he
agreed with that point and dismissed
the charge.
Another case the Roads commission
is appealing is the amount of fine
levied on Emmett Hall, driver for
HopwOod Lumber company. He was
found guilty Of driving a truck over
loaded by 11,6OO pounds. Zeller fined
him 1896 plus costs. The State con-
tends the fine should have been 1896.
Governor McKeldin, in his letter,
said he had no right or disposition to
interfere with conduct of judicial pro-
ceedings, but pointed out that courts
both high and low were bound by laws
enacted by the Legislature, and that
judges have the duty Of enforcing
those laws even when they disagree
with their policy.
A Salisbury magistrate found a
trucker guilty last week of overload
ing by 1910 pounds and sent him to
Jail in default of $534.60 fine. Area
truckers fined on overweight counts
for the week June % to 80 included
John Brenneman, Accident, $55.45;
Richard Coddington, Friendsville,
$26.75; Paul Glotfelty, Oakland,
$26.75; Donald Glotfelty, Oakland,
$3O.75.

Work on Blister Rust
Eradication Completed

About $1,700 has been spent in this
county during the past year for white
pine blister rust eradication work, ac-
cording to William H. johnson, dis
trict forester. Gooseberry bushes,
which harbor the blister disease,
were destroyed in an 8OO-acre area,
johnson said. All gooseberry bushes
within 900 feet of white pine stands
were cut out and burned.
This completed a four year pro-
gram and the spread of the disease
has been stopped, it was stated. No
further work in this program is con-
templated for the next five years.
Pavilion Completed
At a cost of $4,000 the state has
built a large pavilion at Swallow
Falls recreation area which can take
care of 100 persons. The structure is
65 by "a feet and has stone walls and
fireplaces ateither end.
A siX-party cabin has been built
Iltl lnSJ hldIlOI VI logs anu Is
rented out the same as other state
owned cabins in recreation areas. 1t
cost $1,000.
RefOrestation Outlined
The first phase of a reforestation
project at Savage River dam has
been completed. Next spring a large
number of trees will be set out to
cover the places where the land was
uncovered in preparing for the huge
dam. The tract under treatment is
81 acres in size. During the past year
10000 shrubs of various types such
as multif1ora rose, clovers, dogwood,
bluegrass, dry grass and other
foliage was set out.
This treatment will help stabilize
the soil and provide cover for wild
life until trees are planted. Reforesta-
ton next spring will consist of red
and white pine and spruce trees. The
County Soil Conservation service CO.
operated in the work.

Moderated COrruptiOn"
BY FRANK r. KENT

1t is agreed that on the state as
we'll as national level, Democratic
politicians are deeply concerned over
the revelations of cheap graft, in
huence peddling and tolerated cor
wption" in the Truman administra-
ton. A test as to whether people
generally are in revolt against this
sort of thing will be had in New
York next month in the candidacy
for president of the City Council of
Mr.. Rudolph HALEY, famous counsel
for the Kefauver Crime committee.
1t was through Mr.. HALEY that the
Kefauver Committee revealed the
link between the Democratic organ
izations and the corrupt gangsters of
the Costello type and disclosed the
unsavoIy fact that the Democratic
campaign was largely financed by
gamblers and racketeers Recently
other scandals have increased the
smell of rotteness There have been

lance between the big gangsters and

favors and of the narcotics racket
Mr.. HALEY is the candidate Of the
Liberal, City Fusion and Independent
parties and has made the issue-cor-
ruption, graft, bribery and the Tam
many-Costello type of government.
He is violently opposed by the
powerful Democratic machine, but he
is making an effective campaign, has
strong newspaper support and is
given a fair chance of winning.
Should he be elected, it would be I'M

can really be aroused on a moral
