Harmony Sought. ‘The strike of union carpenters at the, Library of Congress Annex con- | tinued to tie up work on that $6,.- 250,000 structure today, but labor leaders indicated efforts to bring about an agreement and end the strike would get under way early next week. About eight carpenters, employed in preliminary work at the job, went on strike, it was said, when they found they were to receive $1.25 an hour instead of $1.37% an hour. John Locher, president of the Cen- tral Labor Union, said the wage scale formerly was $1.25 an hour for car- penters and stood at that figure when specifications for the Library of Con- gress Annex were drafted long ago. In the meantime, however, the car- penters’ wage scale here, he said, had been increased to $1.37%. Both the Government and the contractor, Con- solidated Engineering Co., knew of the increase in the wage scale, Locher said. ‘The old figure of $1.25 as the pre- vailing wage scale remained, however, in the specifications and when car- penters, went to get their pay it is understood the company offered to pay them that figure. The Consolidated Engineering Co., which has built several big Govern- ment structures here, including the Department of Commerce and the House Office Building, always has em- ployed union labor. The carpenters are on strike only on this one job, according to Locher. All other union jobs throughout the city are paying the prevailing scale of $1.37%, Locher said.

They say there has not been a fatal acci- dent during the Bowie racing season for years because a special detail of State troopers regulates traffic. Likewise, it was recalled, that after a series of serious accidents a few years ago, Corpl. C. W. Cubbage was assigned to the Defense Highway for about four months, during which there was not a single fatal accident. Drove With Car. “The arrests Cubbage made were like a chain letter,” a gas station manager said. “Every time he ar- rested one man, 10 men heard about it and drove more carefully.” Because of the lack of State police on the road recently motorists are running wild, the manager asserted. Accidents occur which are never re- ported and wrecks stay on the high- way 24 hours because there are no State officers to authorize their re- moval, it is claimed. County police say they send a patrol car down the road each night, but such cars cannot cope with speeders and reckless drivers as well as officers on motor cycles. At least one State officer should be assigned to the road at al times, with at least four on Sundays and holidays, county authorities say. ¢ e Wife Granted Divorce.- ROCKVILLE, Md.
