The movement for the 6-hour work day for which the railroad brotherhoods have long contended today had been advanced a notch. A resolution calling upon the Inter- state Commerce Commission to investi- gate the feasibility of establishing six hours as the basic work day was signed by President Hoover yesterday. By its terms, the report must be made to Con- gress by December 15. Eight hcurs now is the basic day. Al Classes Inclided. The commission report is to include estimates of the cost of establishing the “short day” for “all classes and each particular class” of workers. The com- mission is also directed to determine what effect the shorter day would have on_operations and_service. ‘Word that the President had signed the resolution was received with satis- faction in labor circles, where the shorter day is visioned as the spearhead of the attack on unemployment caused by substitution of machinery for man- power. 'nmnzt&:m, assistant to the presi- dent of Rallway Labor Executives' Association, now presiding at the meet- ing here of that organization which in- cludes all rail unions, declared that 35 per cent of the unemployment in all industry—railroads and other lines—is due to mechanical improvements, and that the workers must Lave some relief. Seen as Offset to Mergers. Bhea said that the shorter day also | would be instrumental in “taking up some of the slack” in unemployment that the labor leaders foresee as a re- sult of prejected railroad consolidations. TAX OFFICE FLOODED NEW YORK, March 16 (#).—Gov- ernment clerks mmr in their hands from opening envelopes today. ©Of the 700,000 income tll'm‘m here, 500,000 waited until the minute to flle their returns. Swamped officials said it would be several days before the total payments received can be computed. On the basis of receipts counted up to yester- day, however, they believed the amount would be 20 per cent under last year. CH WITH FLAVOR... l)ecause its rushed to your grocer gh_e roasting ovens AT LAST—the coffee you’ve dreamed of! A coffee that’s superbly blended to begin with—and reaches you absolutely fresh, at the very peak of its flavor. You can’t do better in a coffee than'this. For 66 years, Chase & Sanborn have been perfecting their blend of coffee, selecting it from the choicest coffee beans in the world. But no matter how fine a coffee is—it must be fresh. Only while fresh does coffee keep its full flavor. FOR COFFEE IS PERISHABLE. The delicate oils that carry the flavor and aroma turn rancid if coffee is allowed to get stale. Rancid oil in stale coffee spoils the flavor—and even causes sleeplessness, headaches, indigestion. So to guarantee you freshness—to make sure that you get this superb coffee at the very peak of its flavor—Chase & Sanborn now deliver their coffee like a fresh food. 3500 swift trucks rush it straight from the roasting ovens to the grocers TO GUARANTEER A THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, ’ Along Washington’s Path | | Fort Necessity Scene of * *Buckskin” General’s First | Battle and His Last Surrender—Permitted | to March His Men Home. BY JAMES MORGAN. FORT NECESSITY, Pa, March 16 (N.A.N.A).—The lone man who es- caped from Washington's first attack upon the Prench carried back to Fort Duguesne a tale that set Gallic blood bolling, and an expe hastened | forth to punish this latest treachery of | perfidious Albion. ' The “Buckskin General,” as the offi- | cers of Louis XV scornfully called the 21-year-old Virginian, was 30 miles | west of here when he learned of this | advance against him, and he started | for home. He hai been sent to pull the chestnuts of the Ohio Company out | of the fire and he had been left to do | it with bare hands. After appealing in vain for promised reinforcements and | equipment, there remained no recourse | but retreat. |~ With nearly a third of his men sick, | mostly from lack of food, the rest could not even crawl to safety on empty stomachs. Instead they crawled into this hole here, where the name of Fort Necessity was eloquent of their exhaus- tion and despair when they sank down within its frail protection. Laughed at by Indian. In his youthful innocence of warfare Washington had reported that this was “a charming field for encounter.” An | Indian chief, more wise, laughed at him |for thinking that the enemy would at- tack him from the open, treeless plain in front of the fort. Back of it there were—and still are—trees aplenty on the hill that commanded the fortifica- tion. Naturally the French and Indians chose that vantage point. Standing up, Washington's men pre- sented easy targets, and he ordered them to lie down, where they wallowed in the mud of & Summer torrent. Per- haps few of them could have stood if they had tried after the excess of rum over more solid rations had been poured into their empty stomachs. Still they somehow held out under an 8-hour attack upon their pig sty. When they eived in the evening the terms of their inevitable surrender, Washington was surprised to find that he was to be permitted to march them out with the honors of war and return home with them on parole. Generous as the terms were, they contained a word that continued for many years to taunt the young com- mander of Fort Necessity. Drawn up by none other than a brother of Jumon- ville, whom the Virginians had shot | |down only & few weeks before, the capitulation declared that the French did not intend to disturb the peace be- tween France and England, “but only | to revenge the assasination committed on one of our officers, bearer of a sum- mons.” Conditions Translated. In the light of a candle that sput- tered in the wind, the conditions were | translated from a rain-splotched plece | of paper by a Hollander, whose French | was even poorer than his English. He | interpreted the ugly term into “killed,” and Washington unsuspectingly signed | his name to a confession that he was an assassin. He was yet all unaware | of this second and crowning blunder of | inexperience in his ill-starred campaign | when he turned a sorrowful face home- ward at the head of a doleful proces- sion, with the Indians greedily pounc- ing on his slender stores. It is a dra- matic frony that such a humiliation should have befallen him on a July day in 1754, which in good time would No food The amazing purity of Ame: pare the crystal-clear, crystal. here of meat and vegetable there’s always enough!
