Washington News WILLARD ORDERED 10 REINSTATE TWO BY LABOR BOARD Hotel Found Guilty of “Un- fair Labor Practices” in Dismissals. TOLD TO COMPENSATE BOTH FOR LOST PAY Cases of Webb and Miss Norman Considered Together by Federal Unit. Holding the Willard Hotel was guilty of “unfair labor practices” in the discharge of Garland P. Webb, a waiter, and Mabel Norman, waitress, who were active unionists, the Na- tional Labor Relations Board today ordered they be offered reinstate- ment and compensated for the mone- tary loss resulting from their dis- charge. The discharge of Webb, the board #aid, was ascribed by the hotel to *“errors committed” in serving break- fast ordered by the hotel manager, Harry P. Somerville. In finding un- fair labor practices in the Webb case, the board reversed its trial examiner. Miss Norman’s discharge, it said, first was laid to incompetency by the management, and then, when her associates went on a sit-down strike, to insubordination. It held her part in the Webb case was responsible. The hotel had not been advised this morning of the board's findings. Will Fight Report. *“If the decision is, as reported, ad- verse, we will most certainly go to the highest courts to combat it,” Bomerville said. Webb and Miss Norman each had been employed by the Willard eight years and were shop stewards in the Hotel and Restaurant Employes’ Alli- ance. Webb has had only part-time employment since his dismissal Jan- uary 1 and is entitled to $20 weekly to make up his loss, according to the board. which figured in both salary and tips in computing pay. Miss Norman was dropped February 28 and has not worked since. Her pay was reported to average $35 weekly. Hearing on the Webb case was started by Emmett P. Delaney, trial examiner, on January 25, and it had not been closed out when the Norman controversy arose, leading the board to consider them together in reaching s conclusions. Breakfast Discussed. The board findings went at length into the breakfast which reputedly had led to Webb's dismissal, the waiter having been accused of bringing thin You Don’t Believe Those Paul Bunyan Yarns? Well, Here’s Proof! in dispute, but whos The Foen WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1937. Scouts from Superior, Wis., who have named their troop after Paul Bunyan, giant woodsman, whose existence may be spirit spurs lumbermen to great deeds, have browght the above “positive proof.” Shown, left to right, ESGAPING BANDIT FIRES ON PURSUER Colored Man Drills Taxi With Three Bullets After Robbing Store. A well-dressed colored bandit put three bullets through the taxicab of his pursuer today and eluded capture after getting $20 in a grocery hold-up. The pistol fire roused the neighbor- hood of Seventeenth and § streets, where a taxicab commandeered by the bandit halted for a stop sign while his pursuer's cab drove up alongside. Nobody was injured by the flying shells, but the hold-up man, taking to his heels, had disappeared before on- hem when thick was ordered, serving ‘warm applesauce in peacock china when the rest of the meal was in gold band china and failing to include but- ter. The board concluded that these alleged derelictions could not have been responsible for his discharge, because, “although others were also $0 blame for the errors concerned with the serving of the breakfast, no one was discharged, or even repri- manded; indeed, they were not noti- fied of what had happened.” In the intermediate report on Feb- cuary 11, however, Examiner Delaney had found that unfair labor prac- tices had not been committed, but he recommended Webb's reinstate- ment. The union took exception to this report in March, after the Nor- man case had developed, and then the board consolidated both. Other Dismissal Cited. “The conclusion that the explana- tion of Webb's discharge is to be found in the antagonism of the respondent toward the union becomes reinforced upon consideration of the circum- stances surrounding the dismissal of Mabel Norman,” the board concluded finally. Reviewing both cases, the board held that in discharging Webb the hotel “discriminated in regard to hire and tenure of employment and there- by discouraged membership” in the Restaurant Employes’ Alliance, in vio- lation of the labor relations act. Miss Norman, it concluded, was dis- eharged “because she had given testi- mony under the act in the hearing involving Webb's discharge.” This, it was contended, also entailed coercion and restraint. Orders to Hotel. In addition to the reinstatement order, the board also directs the hotel to: “1, Cease and desist from: “(a) Discouraging membership in Hotel and Restaurant Employes’ Al- liance, Local 781, or any other labor organization of its employes, by dis- charging, refusing to reinstate or otherwise discriminate against its em- ployes in regard to hire or tenure of employment or any term or condition of employment; “(b) Discharging, refusing to rein- state or otherwise discriminating against an employe because he has given testimony under the national labor relations act; “(c) In any other manner interfer- Ing with, restraining or coercing its employes in the exercise of the right to self-organization, to form, join or as- sist labor organizations, to bargain col- lectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual sid or protection. “Post mnotices in conspicuous places in its place of business stating that: (1) The respondent will cease and de- sist in the manner aforesaid; and (2) ‘That such notices will remain posted for a period of at least thirty (30) consecutive days from the date of post- ng: “(c) Notity the regional director for the fifth region in writing within ten (10) days from the date of this order what steps the respondent has taken to comply herewith.” —_— Dog License Tags on Sale. Dog license tags for the new fiscal year were placed on sale at the Dis- trict Building today. Dogs found without tags after July 31 will be im- pounded, dog owners were warned. Twenty-seven thousand plates were Dlaced o sale at $2 each. lookers could recover their poise enough to set out in pursuit. Police broadcast a general alarm and assigned ur crack members of the robbery squ d to track down the ban- dit. The chase began after the robber held up the grocery store of Harry Levinson, at 2132 Florida avenue and pocketed $20 from the till. He would have obtained more except for the fact Levinson had sent his son to the bank with yesterday's receipts 15 minutes prior to the bandit's arrival. When the robber left the store, Frank Brownwell, 418 B street. Levin- son’s butcher, set out in pursuit. The colored man ran two blocks to Con- necticut avenue and hailed a cab. With Brownwell hot on his trail, the bandit changed cabs at Dupont Circle vhen his driver refused to go through a red light. The robber's second cab hurried up New Hampshire avenue, Brownwell right behind in another cab. At Seventeenth and § streets the colored man left his cab, firing at Brownwell and making good his escape on foot. DIVER SEARCHES VAINLY FOR BODY OF YOUTH, 16 Earl Capps, D. C. Boy, in Wading, Steps Into Deep Water and Disappears. A working crew from the Naval Academy, including a diver, joined Boy Scouts and Maryland police yes- terday in an unsuccessful effort to recover the body of Earl Capps, 16, of 333 Seventeenth street southeast, drowned Tuesday in the Severn River at Cedar Point. Capps was on an outing with 20 other boys when the tragedy occurred. He was wading in the river with four companions when he stepped in water over his head and disappeared. The Navy party based at Camp Linstead, near the point. The diver covered a considerable area of the bottom in his search. —_— D. C. PILOT IN TRAINING William Charles Neuenhahn of this City was one of 164 students to begin training today at the Army Primary Training School at Randolph Pield, Tex., the War Department announced. The men were chosen by the chief of the Army Air Corps from the ranks and civilian life. Too Many Police Enable Motorist To Escape Fines “Too many policemen” re- sulted in benefit to Russell Stargo When he was arraigned before Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Traffic Court today and pleaded guilty to 10 overtime parking charges. When the case was called, six stalwart officers rose and came forward, Looking them over, Judge Mattingly said: “Five dollars suspended in each case. There are too many police- men for me to hear this morn- ing.” Stargo, after being warned not to repeat the offense, was given back all his collateral. RE“EF FUNDS’ USE oScouts Bring Bunyan Exhibit QHUSBAND AEBUSEI] To Prove Woodsman’s Might IN STRIKE DENIED Spokesmen Will Try to In- | voke Emergency Clause, Escape Ban. Informed today by Welfare Director Elwood Street that relief funds would not be available to them, spokesmen for 450 striking members of the Laun- dry Workers, Cleaners and Dyers' Union, Local 187, said they would ap- peal tomorrow to the Commissioners. Meanwhile, with picket lines still intacc, operations were resumed on a curtailed basis in some of the 12 strike- bound cleaning plants. Union leaders declared their funds were sufficient to continue the strike “for an indefinite period.” The 20-odd members of the dele- gation at the District Building were told by Street that while Congress had appropriated $1,411,000 for public assistance here during the new fiscal year, the sum was not sufficient to grant aid to employable persons. Emergency Invocation Sought. Street revealed that the Board of Public Welfare had decided the appro- priation should be expended at the rate of one-twelfth per month and to limit the aid to persons classed as unemployable, unless the Commission- ers should rule an emergency exists. The delegation will urge the city heads to declare an emergency in their case and to void the Welfare Board ruling. Calvin Cousins, president of the lo- cal, gave out a statement today de- claring that Miss Alice Hill, public assistance director, had “confirmed the right of strikers to public relief.” Miss Hill could not be reached for confirmation. The Cousins statement said the astrike fund now was sufficient for con- tinuation of the strike at a dozen cleaning and dyeing shops for an in- definite period. He announced con- tributions from 30 trade unions, wom- en’s organizations and individuals would provide several hundred dollars & day. A mass meeting was planned for tonight. Street told the delegation unemploy- ables had been defined as those who are physically or mentally unable to work. He said doubt in any case would be resolved by a diagnosis by the staff of Gallinger Municipal ‘Hospital, whose decision would be final. . Customers Protected. Discussing the resumption of work on a curtailed basis, Samuel Ruben- stein, chairman of the Shop Owners’ Committee, explained that this was purely to protect tailor customers and those employes who had asked to be put to work. Samuel Rubenstein, chairman of the Shop Owners' Committee, ex- Pplained that resumption of work on a amall scale was purely to protect tai- lor customers and those employes who had asked to be put to work. “I want it clearly understood,” he said, “that the reopening of some of the plants will in no way affect nego- tiations with the strikers.” Though he declared there still seemed no means of getting together and that some concessions would have to be made by the union, Rubenstein indicated the committee would prob- ably meet with the union this after- noon. Strikers and union officials indi- cated no let-up in their demands for 8 40-hour week, an $18 wage mini- mum, time and a half for overtime and union recognition, — CIRCLE ELECTS New officers of the Ladies’ Circle of Takomsa Park Community Church were elected yesterday. They are Mrs. L. H. Shearer, president; Mrs. W. M. Cunningham, secretary, and Mrs. Willlam R. Sheets, treasurer. The organization projects a drive for $6,000 to construct a new church building. A chicken dinner will be held on July 15. Shows to-Aid Boys’ Club. Marionette shows, directed by LeRoy Gerlach, will be presented for the benefit of the Police Boys’ Club Satur- day and a week from Saturday at the Grafton Hotel, Connecticut avenue and De Sales street. Two shows will be given each day. (4 WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION are What-A-Man Paul’s false teeth, ax (lying on log), alarm clock, dinner horn, pistol, shovel, log hook (used for toothpick) and shotgun, with rifle in background. Massive Ax and Other Mementoes of Super-Lumber jack Support Tall Tales of Wisconsin Troops. The prodigious ax. guns and camp equipment of Paul Bunyan were brought here on flat cars by Wiscon- sin Scouts and unloaded with der- ricks, to be shown alongside a colossal, life-size picture of the mythical, in- comparable lumberjack, 50 feet tall. When Bunyan wanted to clear a forest, he tied his double-bladed ax on & log chain and whistled it around his head; he fished for trout with a 4-foot hook big enough for a whale. and blasted out one-way tunnels through the mountains with one barrel of his shotgun. He used both barrels when he wanted a two-way tunnel, big enough for ox teams to pass each other. The jamboree is indebted to Gitche Gumee Council of Northern Wisconsin for this huge educational exhibit. The Scouts brought along a lot of tall tales to go with it—none of which is the least exaggerated. For example, Bunyan ate flapjacks made in a frying pan so big the cooks had to tie hams to their feet and “skate” about on the inside to grease it. They poured 0 much but- ter in the pan that it drowned a colored cook one day. 75-Gallon Coffee Pot. The lumberjack drank his coffee from a 75-gallon pot—the Scouts brought along the pot to prove it. They ordered Bunyan's coffee in box- car loads, and he drank it so hot the steam sometimes blew the top off the cook shack. When Bunyan was ready to eat he blew & dinner horn that leveled the trees around the mess hall and kicked up a squall on the lake. After dinner, Bunyan picked his teeth with a cant hook. The Scouts brought Bunyan's dinner horn and false teeth along. The teeth are four feet across. Sometimes when Bunyan picked his teeth he knocked off a chunk of enamel and the dentist used a steam shovel to fill it. Bunyan fished for trout with a 4-foot hook and a steel cable for a line. When he landed a fish the level of the lake fell. The Scouts can show visitors the fish hook. Bunyan had a bull ox so prodigious that when he drove him through the North woods, the hoofmarks became lakes, upon filling up with rain water. Bunyan's ox is pictured just behind him on the 50 by 100 foot picture, which dominates the camp. Bunyan's feats were chronicled by Johnny Inkslinger, who was no sissy himself. When Johnny forgot to dot an “i"” or cross a “t" he saved a gallon of ink. Johnny is also included in the Bunyan group. Exhibit West of Bridge. This exhibit occupies one end of a camp on Memorial Highway just west of Highway Bridge, where Scouts from Wisconsin, Montana, North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Wyo- ming are quartered. The Paul Bun- yan Troop comes from Superior, Wis. Despite Paul Buryan's size, he was not big enough to cope with the North woods mosquitoes. One night they were particularly bad. Bunyan finally took refuge under his frying pan, which was as thick as the hull of a battleship. The mosquitoes were after Bunyan. They drove their bills through the metal top of the pan. Bunyan got & sledge hammer and began to brad the bills of the mosquitoes when they came through the pan. He overdid this, however, and after he got half a dozen insects fastened to the pan they flew away with it. It took quite an alarm clock to get Bunyan out of his blankets on frosty mornings. The clock, which was brought here, stands 5 feet high. Every time it ticks it sounds like & sledge hammer blow en an anvil. When Bunyan's alarm went off they turned out the volunteer fire com- panies in three neighboring States. Bunyan's pocket watch also was of heroic size. He carried it on a log chain. He had a knapsack of 1-ton capacity, and his mackinaw was as big as a squad tent. When the people of the great log- ging country heard the Scouts were bringing a Paul Bunyan exhibit to Washington they came from miles around in 5-ton trucks and wagons drawn by eight-mule teams, bringing additional trinkets of Bunyan's to add to the collection. The camp’s chief authority on Bun- yan lore is Al Kanzler, assistant scoutmaster of Troop 28 from Wisconsin. PENSION CHANGES ACCEPTED BY HOUSE Action on Bill to Aid Legislative, Judicial Workers Is Finished. The House today completed legisla- tive action on the bill sponsored by Chalrman Ramspeck of the House Civil Service Committee extending the retirement system ta employes of the legislative and judicial branches of the Government. Chairman Ramspeck accepted the Senate amendments which opened up the civil service retirement system to employes of the courts throughout the country. Participation in the retirement sys- tem under this bill is entirely permis- sive and retirement is not compulsory, S0 that a veteran employe of Congress may continue working as long as he can hold his job under the patronage system. e CARNIVAL UNDER WAY 8 Organisations Sponsor Event at Cabin John Park. “CABIN JOHN PARK, Md., July 1 (Special).—A carnival, sponsored by the Cabin John Park firemen, Tomlin- son Council, Daughters of America, and Cabin-Glen Council, Jr. O.

MURRAY ‘Mother, Adjudged in Con- tempt Over Children, Blames Husband for Separation. Mrs. Matilda Murray, who returned to Washington to fight her hus- band's divorce suit despite a pending contempt order for her commitment to jail, testified today her husband drank heavily and was cruel to her and their children before she left him. The 28-year-old mother, who defied & court order to turn her two children over to their father. Raymond C Murray, & taxicab driver, of 1368 Kenyon street, has filed a cross-bill in answer to her husband’s suit. Both husband and wife asked a limited divorce on the ground of cruelty. The two children, Lucille, 8, and Wylle, 4, are with their mother's rela- tives in West Haven, Conn. Left Husband Several Times. Mrs. Murray testified before Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue that she left her husband several times during their married life. The first time, she said, was in Florida, a few years after their marriage. She said she filed a divorce suit here in January, 1936, because her hus- band “forced me out.” She said he took the child to Tennessee, where his relatives live. She said she signed a separation agreement on February 26, 1936, in the hope of getting her children back. Later, she said, she was injured in an accident and her estranged husband returned to her apartment to live, add- ing that he brought their children back to Washington in April, 1936. Although he later started drinking and abused her, she testified, they lived together until last December, when she took the children and left. He flled suit for divorce, contending that taking away the children consti- tuted cruelty. Cited for Contempt. The court awarded custody of the children to Mrs. Murray, pending dis- position of the suit, but when informed she refused to let iheir father see them, directed her to turn them over to him. This she refused to do and the contempt citation and a 30-day com- mitment order followed. Mrs. Murray, however, remained outside of the juris- diction until yesterday. Justice O'Donoghue has not indi- cated whether he will enforce the con- tempt commitment, and Murray has told his attorney, Charles P. Henry, that he will not ask that his wife be sent to jail. FOUR NEW EMPLOYES IN POLICE COURT Made Possible Through Addi- tional Appropriation—Work- ers Are S8worn In. Pour additional employes, their ap- pointment made possible by an addi- tional appropriation, were sworn in at Police Court today. John Casey, former assistant pro- bation officer and deputy clerk at Juvenile Court, was assigned to the probation office as a deputy probation officer. Oliver Eastland, formerly of the Census Bureau, became a deputy clerk, while Grant Kirkham was transferred from the position of bailiff to clerk-typist in the probation office. Two new baliffs were sworn in. One was Edward J. Dougherty, a former P. W. A. employe, and the other, J. Malcolm Smith, who has been em- ployed by a Senate committee for the past year and a half. o =g . ADDRESSES WARNING Dimly Lighted Street Used as Taxi Hold-up Spot. Cab drivers foday were asked to notify police if a passenger requested to be taken to No. 53 K street south- east. It was pointed out the address, a fictitious one, had been used several times during the past week by hold-up men. The first block of K street is dimly lighted, police said. DNEILL ASSIGNED D. C.

Nichols Thinks Rise Will De- fray Cost of Compulsory Insurance. $20 TO $30 BURDEN ADDED PER CARRIER Oklahoma Representative Asserts Public Wili Be Glad to Pay for Protection. A 5-cent-per-zone increase in tax- icabs rates will be coupled with legis= lation requiring cab owners to carry liability insurance, it was predicted today by Representative Nichols, Democrat, of Oklahoma chols made the prophecy after the third of a series of public hearings on a compulsory liability insurance bill for taxicabs, before a House Dis= trict Subcommittee of which he is chairman. The five-cent raise, Nichols said, should enable cab owners to pay the insurance premium without a reduce tion in their present income. The cost of such inst ce was estimated to range from $20 to $30 a month. Cab operators and representatives of taxi associatioms, who testified during the hearing, said they would be une able to pay the i rance premiums unless there is an increase in existing zone rates. “I believe the public would be willing to pav a nickel more for the security they would feel in the knowledge that they were protected in the case of an accident,” Nichols said. Offers Reported Made. Earl J. Klein, president of the City Cab Association, told the subcommite tee he believed a 5-cent increase in zone rates would be adequate to pay the insurance premiums. He said his organization favored liability insurance | and pointed out offers had been made him by reputable ins to write the poli per cab Jack Royer of the Premier Cab As- ociation registered opposition to any Iplan designed to force taxicab owners to buy insurance from private come panies.

He is 34 years old—just a year older than the youngest member of the District Com- mittee, Representative Sterling Cole, Republican, of New York, who is 33. O'Neill is a modest young man—so modest, in fact, he declined to take advantage of the opportunity to re- veal the history of his life in the con- gressional directory. The book merely lists his name and the fact that his home is in Newark. “That's all there is to it.” he said. C'Neill came to Congress in the Democratic landslide without any pre- vious political experience. Before em- barking on a political career, however, O'Neill disclosed he was connected with the Armour Meat Packing Co. in Newark and the Federal Housing Ad- ministration there. O'Neill pointed out facetiously that while he worked for a meat-packing cogcern he did not know anything about a slaughter house. He had ref- erence to a bill pending before the Dis- trict Committee which would prevent establishment of slaughter houses and other so-called nuisanee industries. Representative O'Neill Marriage, Divorce Records Set. CUMBERLAND, Md,, July 1 (&) — Marriage and divorce set new records here during June. Deputy Court Clerk Joseph Boden said the 34 divorce suits filed totaled more than those filed in any month during the 15 years of his service. Marriage licenses totaled 555, as compared with the record of 466 sold in May. Licenses to Wed Obtained in June Set Record Here 991 Issued at District Court Nearly 50 Over Last Year. ‘The particular cupid who operates in this territory hung up an all-time record during June, with 991 marriage licenses. Perhaps not quite that many cou- ples were married, but it's a good bet that not more than half a dozen of the licenses will be returned unused. June always is the busiest for Mrs. Maude Rynex, marriage license clerk at Disirict Court, who believes the license total during the last month was the largest for any 30 days on record. The nearest approach was in June, 1936, when 946 licenses were issued. That was a big advance over 1935, when there were only 772. Other recent June figures were: 1934, 765; 1933, 626; 1932, 646; 1931, 666 1929—the boom year—749, and 1928, 688, his first | lic the same protection as afforded by insurance with reputable companies. Mrs. Lillian Botkin, one of Washe ington’s few woman taxi drivers and the sole support of two children, tes- | tified she believed in liability insure ance, but said under the present rate schedule she would be unable to pay | the premiums. “You don't know," | she declared, “how many two thin | dimes you get from the public.” Cover Most Judgments. Jack Dalton, Blue Light Cab Co,, expressed the opinion that $2,500 and $5.000 policies would cover 98 pey cent of judgments against taxi opera« tors. E. Irwin Dollar, Industrial Brothere hood of Taxi Drivers, opposed the bill “When you limit the number of cabe and hackers here and get us a zone rate increase,” he said, “we will talk about co-operating on a liability ine surance law.’ The bill is a companion of ons already on the House calendar. aue thorizing the Public Utilities Come mission to reduce the number of taxi= cabs in operation in Washington.
