Plumber Strike
Ties Up Large
Projects Here
Wage TuIks Foil;
D. c. Library, Other
Jobs Affected

Some 900 plumbers in the
Washington area went on strike
today.
Wage negotiations of. the
Plumbers Local No. 5 (AFL)
broke down last night. Work
tied up includes some of the
biggest jobs in the area, running
into the millions of dollars, a
spokesman said.
The union, asking a 25-cents-
an-hour wage increase on the
present $3.50, had rejected a
management offer of Is cents
more per hour.
The unions contract is with
the Plumbing Contractors Asso-
citation, which includes the big
gest plumbing contractors in the
area.
Contract Expires Sept. IA.
Frank Hanes, of the negotiating
committee for the association,
said the contract does not ex-
pire until September IA, but that
there was re-opener on wages
if and when wage controls ex-
pired.
These controls went off in
March and accordingly nego-
tiations began.
Mr.. Hanes said management
came in with a 15-cent wage
hike proposal Immediately. It
was withdrawn after the union
failed to accept it, but was re-
newed after further negotiations.
The Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service is seeking to
arrange a meeting with both
sides. The strike began at
7:30 am.
Library Work Held Up.
Archie E. Hutson, District di-
rector of construction, said he
had received notice that the con-
struction of the new Cleveland
Park Library would be held up
by the strike.
Other projects of the District
which may be affected include
the Industrial Home School for
white children at Laurel, Md:
the new infrmary building at
Blue Plains and an elementary
school at Ninth street and Waller
place Sc.
The Public Buildings Admins
tration reported that should the
strike last more than a few days,
its major National Institutes of
Health project at Bethesda may
be affected seriously. The de-
lay would involve the installa-
tion of mechanical equipment
for the hospital.
Other Work Threatened.
1t was estimated it would take
about two weeks for the new
receiving building at st. Eliza
beths Hospital to be affected.
The PBA was checking to see
whether two other fairly large
projects-remodeling work at the
Bureau of Standards and a
dental building at Howard Uni
versity-were threatened with
delay.
Observers pointed out that
the extent of delay caused by
stoppage of plumbing work de-
pends on the stage of construc-
tion. In the rough stages where
plumbing must be installed be-
fore masonry, the delay would
be pretty much across the board.
A holdup on installation of fix
lures would be less serious.

By Dolores Phillips

Between the parties of summer
and the overburdened Christmas
season comes a pause in the
social whirl, which is known as
the hunters hour. With hounds
meeting every day with either
Orange County, Piedmont or
Middleburg, every week shows up
with it's quota of hunt breakfasts
and luncheons.
The James P. McCormicks
gave a luncheon at their anceS-
torial home when Middleburg
met at Dover last week. Jamie
mounted 10 riders from his
stable for the days runs and
Peggy saw to it that they were
fed as well as they had been
mounted. Mrs. Norman Toerge
again entertained Orange County
after they went out on Monday
and today, and the Henry
Weavers are having a hunt
breakfast after Middleburg comes
in from their 9 am. meet at the
Weaver's Glengyle, between Aldie
and Arcola.
Kitty Weaver, who has only
been hunting for the past few
seasons, is a constant devotee who
let's nothing interfere with her
sport now that her crew of bull
dozerS, which lived around Glen
gyle for weeks last year, have
departed, leaving a beautifully
Handicapped estate.
Tomorrow Piedmont is meet
ing at the Paul Melons Oak
Spring near Upperville and on
Saturday, Middleburg hounds
will meet, of all places, in
Middleburg.
Next week, the really big hunt
Of the year will gather at Fox
croft on Thanksgiving. Last
year there were almost a hun
dred riders in the field, most
of whom dropped out. after. a
flourish of derbies and a short
run, to gather at Miss Char
lotte Noland's annual hunt
breakfast. Miss Charlotte is en-
tertaining the Middleburg hunt
and their guests again this year.
In-between the horses hoofs
are the usual comings and 60
ings that are part of any town
also the unusual comings and 60
ings. The Fred Astaires have
been down visiting Fred's sis
ter, Mrs. Kingman Douglas, at
the Douglas farm near Middle
burg, creating quite quiet stir
in that section. Mrs. Arthur
White gave one of the largest
parties for them on Saturday
night at Chiffon.
