j. 5. Mediators
Meet as House
Gets! Strike Bill
Seek Final Offer
By Transit Company
On Wage Increase
By HERMAN r. sCHADEN

Federal mediators set up a
company-union negotiating ses-
sion this afternoon as legislation
designed to halt the 19-day-old
transit strike was introduced in
the House.
Mediators James A. Holden
and Gilbert S. McCutcheon
called the meeting for 2::30 pm.
in the Tariff Building. Back in
business after nine-day de-
railment hs other efforts, the
mediators said they had nothing
concrete to offer.
They wished to learn if the
company really meant final
offer" when it held out a 10
cent hourly wage and $5 month
pension increase to the striking
AFL Transit Union yesterday.
The union turned down the
offer at a meeting called by
Chairman Mcmillan and Rep
resentative Broyhill of the House
District Committee, who an
nounced later they were stepping
aside in settlement efforts.
Senate to Get Bill Later
A slightly revised version of
the Commissioners bill to re-
woke the company franchise and
run it's business until the dispute
is settled was to be introduced
in the Senate later today.
Representative Hyde, Repub-
lican, of Maryland and a resi-
dent of nearby Silver Spring,
decided to sponsor the bill in the
House.
Mr.. Hyde said he believed
Joint hearings should be held
with the Senate District Commit
tea suggestion that was
turned down yesterday by Mr.
Mcmillan, who repeated his OBJ
jections after the bill was intro
duced today.
IT have no fixed conviction
that this bill is the answer. but
we should hold joint hearings to
see what the answer is" he said
Congress should decide what to
do about the strike before it ad-
journs and not leave the District
helpless"
Mr.. Hyde planned to confer
on the bill with Commissioner
Samuel Spencer who took 1t ur
ito Congress yesterday.
Would Speed Hearings
Chairman Neely of the Senate
District Committee expects to
speed through hearings on the
controversial measure which h
proponents say will start the
buses and street cars rolling
again.
Opponents of company seizure
have predicted the bill will fall
fiat in the House. One of them
is Mr.. Mcmillan. who heads the
committee which would handle
the legislation.
Mr.. Mcmillan, handed a copy
of the bill yesterday, said i.e
would not introduce it.
Il don't think Congress car
go into the business of legislat-
ing pay increases for the strik-
ers and don't believe bill car
get through which provides fol
taking private property"
Provisions of Bill
The proposed legislation gives
the Commissioners the right tt
operate the company for a year,
period, when the franchise would
be forfeit, or until the strike dis
pute is settled. It also gives the
District government the right tc
increase employees wages.
The District Committee chair
mans opposition to the bill
spelled its doom in the minds
of many who have followed the
committees methods in the past

Among other projects that the
Oak Harbor Band Mothers have
used to raise money for those
badly needed new uniforms, is that
of selling candy. I'm not exaggerat-
ing when | say that it is the best
candy I've ever eaten, it is ribbon
candy, the thinnest, most delicate,
fragile, but at the same time most
flavorful of the confections com
monty associated with the Christ
mas season. | have bought ribbon
candy other years at this time, but
it was so thick and hard, you
could hardly break it enough to
get a piece in your mouth, and
oftentimes, no matter what color
the candy was, each piece would
taste just like the other.
These twelve delicious llavors
are included in each box - pepper
mint, spearmint, Glove, winter
green, lemon, tangerine, lime, en-
namon, vanilla, molaSses, molaSseS
peppermint, and sassalraS. fol
your protection the box has been
sterilized before packing, the ship
ping case in which it was packed
was also sterilized and WaXdipped
to protect you from all possible
contamination while being handled.
So, you see, this is really deluxe
eating, the candy is superb, and q
box of it would make a perfect
Christmas gift for some hard to
please of fastidious person. or just
for your own family If you know
any member of the Band Mothers
be sure to ask her for a sample of
this candy. If she doesn't have a
box as yet, tell her she can gel
one at the Mylander JcWclry store
in Oak Harbor. The candy sells for
$1.00 a box

If some of you farmers have
been the unfortunate possessors OF
a field of soy beans that were af
fected by early root rot, you'll be
very much interested in a certain
article printed in "Ohio Farm and
Home Research" for September
October Any Northwestern Ohio
farmer fields in ottawa and Pauld
ing counties are most susceptible
should read this article, it con
tains much information.
In the summer of 1854, a disease
nursery was established on the
farm Of Anthony Schihilla at Oal
Harbor Over 100 varieties anC
breeding dimes of soy beans were
tested for resistance to this r0ot
rot. Only one variety, Monroe
recommended in Ohio, was resist
ant. All the recommended, full-sea
son beans such as HaWkeye, Lin
coin, and Harosoy were quite Sc
verely damaged. This article states
that the patches of disetsed plants
occur generally in the poorly
drained areas of fields, so l sup

on sowing beans next spring in a
field that's low and inclined to be

Arasan or any other seed guards
did not decrease the blight, neither
did heavy applications Of fertilizer.
Other crops, such as alfalfa, red
clover. corn, wheat, oats and tim
othy when planted in infested soil
were not affected by the fungus.
After all these tests were taken,
such as when soil in SOY bean
field in which root rot hadn OF pre-
viously been observed was infested
with this gungus, fewer soy bean
plants rotted than in sterile soil
infested with it, it seemed pos
sible that the activity Of this fun
gus was somewhat suppressed by
fungi and other microOrganisms IN
the field soil. Such antag0niStic ac-
ton is likely to be enhanced by
rotation with other crops. Since II
il is possible that if this root rot
becomes widespread here in Otta-
wa County and Northwestern Ohio,
there may come a time when 1t
will be impossible 10 groy soy
beans. It is strongly recommended
that SOY beans not be continuously
cropped in problem areas, and that
Monroe or BlackhaWk (also resist
ant by not as good a producer as
Monroc) seed be planted.
The Department of Plant Path
ology at the Experiment Station
at Wooster, Ohio will greatly ap-
preciate a report of all cases Of
this disease, so if you have eVi-
dcnce of it in soy bean field
next summer, drop them card
and tell them about it.

The Zoo today acquired a pair
of rare Malay tapirs, a long,

is called a "saddleback" because
its black pelt is divided by a
broad band Of white.

the happy couple are the only
saddleback tapirs in captivity
in this country. aside from a
lonesome male in the San Fran
cisco Zoo. DR.. Mann's animal
emporium has not had any of
this species for several years.
The new pair is between two
and three years old-half grown,
as tapirs go. They stand about
four feet hikh and weigh up
wards of 100 pounds each.
These "saddlebacks' were cap
