Nobody told me to strike. Ths

we wanted to bring this thing tt

'"The Marines had an organiza-

the brakeman.
Mr.. Wojcik said his main com
plant is that incorporating rail-
road workers have received pay

They're now working only five
days a week with no loss of pay
If they give it to one department
why not another?" he asked. The

What we are trying to do
Mrs. Greenhill explained, "is to
set up a trained body of volunteers
whose work will range from tipping
and clerical duties to sitting for
handicapped children"
Others, she added, will work in
clinics. give English lessons to
newly-arrived foreigners and help
them find housing, and drive per-
sons to and from clinics and hos
pitfalls.
She emphasized the volunteers
are not intended to replace trained
social workers but to supplement
them.
Already. "a persons have Of
fered their services to the bureau.
All volunteers will be inter-
viewed by the bureau and asked
what type of work they want to
do. Then, they will be given a
training course in which they will
become acquainted with the work
of the various welfare agencies.
Mrs. Greenhill urged any one
who wants to participate in the
program to write her at Bill PERISH
ing drive, Silver Spring, or call

Frank Wojcik is a brakeman at
Union Station.
On January 80 he quit work at
IL pm. and the next day he re-
ported in sick" He wasn't &C
tually sick, but with nearly $50
other switchmen Gall at the ter
minal except five) he didn't return
to work for six days.
This week the President Of the
United States compared the ma
tional heads of Franks union
the Brotherhood of Railroad
Tralnmen-with Russians" And
the Army, which technically cont
trolls the railroads, warned that
railroadmen who don't work will
be fired.
Frank Wojcik is resentful. He

the 18th Armored Division in the
Pacific war.
Earns S12.26 a Day.
The war over. he came back
to switching. His job, from to
IL pm. every day, is to couple
and uncouple passenger cars. He
makes $12.26 a day, minus the
ga per cent taken out for retire
ment.
Because of seniority, generally
he has to work only five of the
seven work days. When he works
more, he gets only straight pay
for overtime-just the regular
S12.26. He considers his work hard
and dangerous.
All brakemen at the terminal
get $12.26 a day. Their last raise
was in September. 1913.

Ruling Cited in Farm

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 10.-"The
hour-glass must supply the raw
ages of the scythe, and those who
have slept upon their rights must
be RENTED to the repose from

So spoke Chief Justice Melville
w. Fuller for the United States
Supreme Court in 1891. 1t still
holds true. Judge Charles Markell
of the Maryland Court of Appeals
said yesterday.
That is why Philip H. Dorsey,
jr., of Leonardstown, peoples
counsel for the Public Service
Commission, doesn't get his ia
theirs farms.
Mr.. Dorsey contended there was
an oral agreement that four farms
in st. Marys County were to be
inherited by him and his brother
on his fathers death. Their father,
Walter Dorsey, died in 1923.
However, an uncle, Philip Dor
sey, was listed as holder-of-record
and has been running the farms.
He will continue to do so.
The brothers took % years too
long before bringing the case to
court, Judge Markell wrote in his
opinion.
1T was suggested" Judge Mar
kell said, that the delay was ex-
cusable because of a desire not to
disturb the pleasant relations with
their bachelor uncle.

they ought to have spoken, they
should not now be permitted to

The Appeals Court also ruled in
