Operating Engineers
Defer Strike for Talk!

Some 300 operating engineers
last night voted to defer a strike
against construction contractors
here at least until Monday for fur
ther negotiations on a new con-
tract.
The action was taken at the re-
quest Of the Federal Mediation
and Cancellation Service. accord
ing to j. c. Turner, business agent
for Local II of the AFL Operating
Engineers.
Negotiation on the new contract
had deadlocked on wages and well
fare fund contributions. The
union has asked a wage increase
of IS cents an hour to take effect
on approval by the Wage Stabiliza-
tion Board. Present top scale for
operating engineers is $2.85 an
hour.
Latest offer from the Construc-
ton Contractors Council is 8 cents
an hour, effective on approval of
the WSB, and another z cents an
hour on September l.
On the employer contribution to
the welfare fund, the union is ask
ing 10 cents an hour. The con-
tribution now is 3 per cent, which
the union figures amounts to 7.S
cents an hour. The council has
offered a fiat 8.5 cents an hour
Mr.. Turner said negotiating
sessions will be held with the con-
tractors between now and Mon
day, but that a meeting of the
local has been set for Sunday
afternoon in the event they prove
unsuccessful. /

Impeachment talk grew louder
on Capitol Hill today as Congress:
considered giving itself power tt
halt strikes with injunctions.
Some Republicans heretofore
lukewarm on impeachment pro.
posals said continued refusal by
President Truman to invoke the
Taft-Hartley law in the steel
dispute might leave Congress nc
alternative but to impeach him.
| AS the court battle between the
administration and the steel
masters 'seesawed toward the Su.
preme Court, there were these
other developments:
/. The House Armed Services
Committee scheduled hearings
starting probably next Tuesday
on a new anti-strike bill which
could block strikes Indefinitely in
emergency periods.
2. A technicality prevented the
House Judiciary Committee from
going ahead today with a sched-
Iuled vote on 10 impeachment and
related proposals.
3. Half a dozen committees
busted themselves directly or in
directly with various phases of
the steel controversy.
Barkley Sees Definition.
Vice President Barkley said in
Houston, Tex, yesterday he be-
llieves Congress eventually will de-
fine the rights of a President to
seize industry in time of emer-
Igency. Regarding the current
steel controversy, he said he
thought the courts will decide the
issue.
Out Of all the talk and activity
it became increasingly apparent
that Congress would not give the
President specific power to seize
strike-threatened plants.
But there is strong sentiment,
particularly in the House, for a

court in staying Judge Pines
order"
Government and industry at
torneys thronged to the bench.
Chief Judge Stephens and Judge
Edgerton fingered to listen infor-
mally. Company lawyers sug-
gested reconvening the full court
to consider a request that the stay
order be modified.
They said the order ought to
include a conditional provision"
to bar the Government from
changing wage rates and working
conditions in the industry during
the stay.
Judge Edgerton remarked that
i"I think you are little late" to
seek a night session. The COM
pany lawyers promised to file an
application today for such a modi-
fication. Chief Judge Stephens
told them he would try to arrange
a hearing by the full bench as soon
as the application was presented.
Time Limit Interpreted.
Because copies of the stay order
were not readily available, con-
fusion developed as to the time
limit. Attorneys for both sides
interpreted it this way:
| The appeals, court stopped the
effectiveness Of Judge Pines in
junction at least until 4:30 pm.
tomorrow. But this was on condi-
ton that the Government file its
petition for Supreme Court review
of Judge Pines order.
If such a petition is filed. the
stay would continue until the Su-
Ipreme Court decides whether to
accept it.
/ Mr.. Perlman said the Su-
preme Court might be able to
discuss the review petition at its
regular Saturday morning session.
He said Monday is a regular opin-
ion day, and the tribunal might
announce then whether it will ac-
cept the case.
If the Supreme Court refused a
review, the stay would continue
until the appeals court issued a
further order, attorneys explained.
Government seizure of the mills
would continue as long as the stay
did. This conceivably could be a
matter of weeks.
Refusal of the Supreme Court
to bypass the Court of Appeals
would not settle the seizure con-
troversy. The Government has
docketed in the appellate court it's
appeal from Judge Pines ruling.
and this presumably would be ar
gued there in the near future.
In an impassioned plea that
closed the arguments, Mr.. PERL
man predicted that a stay would
result in stopping the strike. In
dustry lawyers attacked that as
a rash assumption"
Fears for Nations Safety.
Mr.. Perlman, making his first
appearance at court proceedings
where Assistant Attorney General
Holmes Baldridge has handled the

He defended the seizure as legal,

Welfare Board Sees
Care Problems Ahead
For CoIored Children

The Public Welfare Department
soon will be faced with the prob
lem Of caring for more colored
children than white. Raymond r.
Clapp, statistician, told the Board
of Public Welfare at its meeting
yesterday afternoon in the Munici-
pal Center Building.
Mr.. Clapp exhibited charts
showing that the children in the
District in 1850 numbered 10000
OF grade and high school age. OF
these $4,000 were white and 10000
were colored. In 1860, he pre-
dicted there will be $4,000 white
children and $4,000 colored.
A certain percentage of these
children will come under the care
Of the Department Of Public We'll
fare he said. While there are
enough facilities to care for the
colored children now, he said, they
must be increased greatly by 1860.
Many Of the private agencies
can now help out in caring for
white children, he said. but have
difficulties in caring for colored
children. While the child popula-
ton is changing, Mr.. Clapp said
the adult population still shows
there are two or three times more
white persons than colored in
the District.
May Call Special Meeting.
Edgar Morris. chairman of the
board, said he considered Mr..
Clapp's report so important that
he would either call q special
meeting Of the board for fuller
report. or allow him time at the
next meeting.
Fred S. Kogod, vice chairman
of the board, said the Welfare De-
partment is getting more children
every month and that some effort
should be made to try and get
them back in the home. The Rev.
DR.. Norman Gerstenfeld, a mem
Der Of the board, said that an ef-
fort should be made to get
churches and outside agencies to
work with the parents. He sug-
gested that efforts be made to get
top officials of all faiths to help
in the work.
Miss Imogene Thompson, super
visor Of the adoption unit of Child
Welfare Division, reported that
older children are hard to place
for adoption. She also said high
court costs and lawyers fees in
Southern Maryland are prevent
ing many farmers in that area
from adopting children from the
District.
Board Gets Breakdown.
Welfare Director Gerald M. Shea
gave the board a breakdown of the
children admitted to the Indus
trial Home School annex. Out Of
469 children admitted from July /,
1851. to May l, 1852. he said, 112
were placed there because their
parents were evicted from their
homes; SO, because Of illness of
one Of both parents; II. because
of alcoholic parents. and 76, be-
cause their parents deserted them.
The board set UP a standard to
determine whether q legally re-
Sponsible relative Is financially
able to support or contribute to
the support Of a person getting
old-age assistance or aid to the
needy blind. II the relative earns
at least 81 ,685 q year. after taxes
and social security payments, he
is expected to contribute some

Thanksgiving Day 1852

One of the greatest of all our American traditions
is that Of Thanksgiving Day in which the nation in
acknowledgement of the great blessing that it has been
given during the year dedcaes its self to day of pray
and Thanksgiving to the God of mankind the giver
of every good and perfect gift.
Down on our knees in prayer and Thanksgiving for
the gifts and blessings of the past extend suppl
cations and beseech the continued gifts and blessing of
the future.
This is the American tradition of Thanksgiving
Day. e~&Ma
1t is tragic fact testified to by majority Of
intelligent opinion that in the worship of material
and intellectual progress Thanksgiving in day and
time is indeed but tradition having lost the sacred
content and purpose of the Thanksgiving Day first pro-
claimed and observed by the founding fathers of the
nation.
Thanksgiving Day 1852 finds the nation and its peo-
pie in period more foreboding and at the time
hopeful than any other period in the nations his
tory Here stand the youngest among the nations
of the world appearing at times to be almost tragcaly
immature having achievement the greatest material pro-
gress in the history of and at the time having
IN our possession the instruments and weapons that
abeS to bring about the destruction of the civilization
to which we have contributed much in a matter of
few days though it represents the total progress of
man since the beginning of time.
The main trouble with our world, with our nation
and with its people in these forebodng times is the lack
of the connecting link of the spirit with the great ruler
of the Universe evident the sacred content and pu
pose of the Thanksgiving Day of the founders of the
nation.
Thanksgiving Day 1852 can be great day for the
nation and perhaps be the turning point in the course of
fOrebodng world events the people of the nation sought
in the humility of its founding fathers to link themselves
again with the gver of every good and perfect gift

Progressive
Voters League
Extend Plans

In the November meeting of the
Progressive Veterans League, the
president recalled the success of
the Leagues suffrage drive. an
nounced plans for the second
phrase, and recommended the third
phrase. The meeting was moved
up from the third Tuesday in Dec
ember to the first Monday, because
of Yuletide activities.
The first phrase of the suffrage
drive came with the announcement
to get $4,000 Negroes registered
IN jackson. Precinct captains were
appointed and precinct committees
formed, with the result of many
people being registered. Praise
must be given to the precinct cap
tains. They have labored hard with
good results.
The second phrase of the drive
is the payment of poll tax. Every
person between the ages of 81 and
90 will be urged to pay poll tax. 1t
is a duty, not simply a privilege.
The precinct captains will be as
active in this effort as in the
former. 1t is expected that poll tax
paying will be doubled this COM
ing year in comparison to this one.
The third phrase will be lead
ership conference on suffrage edu-
cation to be held in late spring or
early summer. This phrase will be
high lighted in the meeting Mon
day night December l, at the Lynch
Street CINE. Church.
