EMPLOYES OPPOSED BY ICKES WEDNESDAY, Odd Feathers, Huge Beaks Intrigue Zoo Fans OCTOBER 20, PAGE B—1 D.C. JURY INDICTS QUANTRILLE IN 3 CRIMINAL CASES Marketing Expert for Wool- worth Co. Would Have Scale Run Up to $15. CUT IN JOBS, INJURY TO BUSINESS WARNED Too High a Standard, Professor Says, Might Force Some to Close Up Shop. The battle over the minimum wage $o be fixed for Washington's 8.000 re- tail trade workers was continued today as spokesmen for employers made public the recommendations of a mar- keting expert for the F. W. Woolworth Co. that the scale be graded from $14 to $15 per week The recommendations were those of Dr. Paul Nystrom, Columbia Univer- #ity professor, who is to testify at the next meeting of the Minimum Wage Board Conference Monday night, as & witness for Jacob Hemminger, man- ager of the Woolworth F street store, & conference member. Nystrom coupled his wage recom- mendations with a warning that the establishment of too high a wage prob- ably would result in discharge of some elerks, reduction of the size of sales | #tafls and possibly force some retailers eut of business. His brief, distributed today to all 13 members of the conference, was ealled up by the employers after the eonference struggled for three hours last night to arrive at a decision but | found itself in a deadlock, which it| hopes to break next week. Workers Want $21.51. Representatives of employes have eontended the budget for unattached female workers sohuld be no less than $21.51 per week. Emplover spokes- man have insisted a weekly budget of $14.57 would be sufficient. Nystrom declared the minimum should be $14 for those worikng 40 hours a week, $14.50 for clerks work- Ing 44 hours a week and $15 a week for those working 48 hours. He said the scales should be $1 less per week for minors and $1 less for workers having less than one year of experi- ence. Declaring establishment. of a mini- mum wage “almost inevitably” will re- eult in dismissal of some employes “whose productiveness is not equal in value to the minimum wage.” Dr. Nystrom cited reports of the Bureau of Labor Statistics to show that in Oregan there was a 15 per eent decline in the number of girls employed in re- tail stores after a minimum wage went into effect. May Lose to Virginia. Dr. Nystrom argued that while profits vary among stores and among different types of retall stores, “it is unlikely that the profits of all the stores in Washington affected by the wage law will average more than 2, per cent of sales. Some stores are not even now making any profit. They are hanging on and continuing in the hope of future improvement. A minimum wage fixed too high will effectually erush such hopes.” The expert also warned that if the Wwage calses an increase in operating eoets, which is passed along to the eonsumer through price increases. Washington may lose some of its trade to stores in Marvland and Virginia, which have no minimum wage laws, or even to places farther removed which ean be reached easily through modern transportation Supporting one of the major con- fentions of the employer spokesmen on the conference, Dr. Nystrom said the cost of living today is about 20 per cent. lower than it was in 1929. Proposals Not Disclosed. Members of the conference declined #o reveal proposals offered by spokes- men for the public, the employes or the employers, but indications were that the conference members were still far apart at the conclusion of a three-hour session, which had been scheduled us the final meeting of the retail conference. John J. Esch. a representative of the general public, who is chairman of the conference, said the body de- voted most of last night’s meeting to 8 discussion of the widely different ftems in the four main elements of the proposed budgets —rent, food, elothing and sundries. - . A rate of $16.50 per week was fixed | nearly 20 years ago for retail trade workers by the original District Mini- mum Wage Board. This was effective for several vears but eventually was declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. The law was revived last March by a de- » eision by the high court in which the former ruling was reversed. The members of the Wage Board are Mrs. William Kittle, chairman, who is a public representative: Arthur L. Schoenthal, spokesman for em- ploves, and John H. Hanna, spokes- man for employers. Hanna yester- day submitted his resignation from the board, to take effect at the con- elusion of the work of the Retail Trade Conference. . CHEST DIRECTOR CITES AID TO D. C.

Mrs. Luvie | Moore Pearson told District Court to- | day she had come to the conclusion Abell was not a “fit and proper cus- | todian" for the boy.

(CHRISTIAN CHARITY DECLARED FORGOTTEN Father Mullaney Asserts This Is True in Homes and Among Nations. The Rev. William F. Mullaney. O. M. L., of the Oblate Scholasticate, Brook- land, declared the meaning of Chris- tizn charity has been forgotten, both | in homes and among nations, in an | address which marked the closing of |the 40 hours' devotions in Sacred | Heart Ghurch last night. “In these days of trials and calami- ‘nes," he said, “when the fear of war, with its consequent slaughter of human lives grips all nations, the peace and Jove which Jesus Christ taught the world of His times must be instilled into the hearts of men. We must learn again the meaning of Christian charity which embraces the love of God and the love of our neighbor: otherwise there can be no true peace, no love, nor joy in indi- vidual lives in homes and family life, or even among nations.” A large group of Sacred Heart Grammar School pupils participated in the ceremonies. CONSUMER PRESSURE URGED FOR WORKERS Labor Writer Advocates Plan to Improve Conditions in Ad- dress Here, Miss Leane Zugsmith, labor writer, yesterday urged the Washington League of Women Shoppers to use consumer pressure to aid workers in struggles for improved working . con- ditions. Speaking at a meeting of the league at the Washington Association of University Women club house, Miss Zugsmith said the group of organized consumers should support justifiable strikes through appeals to employers and direct picketing and boycotts when necessary. She said the league had aided greatly in improving working condi- tions in New York City. Other branches of the league are func- tioning in Philadelphia, Chicago, Bos- ton, Newark, Los Angeles and Hud- son County, N. Y. ‘ ut ROPER ASKS TRADE AS WAY T0 PEACE “Study Others’ Economic Needs,” Secretary Urges in Rotary Talk. Trade as a means of peace instead | of an agency of war was discussed by Secretary of Commerce Roper this afternoon in an address before a pan-American good will forum, held | in Memorial Continental Hall by the Washington Rotary Club as a feature | of its twenty-fifth anniversary pro-| gram. Maurice Duperry of Paris. president | of Rotary International, spoke on “Rotary as a Vehicle.” “Let every country” Secretary Roper suggested, “study more broadly the other’s economic and social needs | in the light of the individual country. This would mean the abandonment of high-powered salesmanship meth- | ods, with a view to selling the people of the countries what they need rather | than what we desire to sell. | “This procedure would naturally enlist lasting mutual respect. It would reveal and sustain a neighborliness | that would bind the Americas in an indissoluble union that outside sinister | propaganda could not sever. Prosper- | ity to all would this be brought in| commerce through understanding.” United Action Urged. Roper urged “united action through- out the Americas for the publication of verified facts about every country, | stressing constructive events and objectives rather than specializing on prejudices, crimes and disrupting hap- penings.” He added: “We all need to cultivate faith, confidence in and respect for each other, dispelling suspicions based on | inaccurate knowledge and misunder- standing.” Other measures which he suggested were the wider study of foreign lan- guages in every country and the en- couragement of tourist travel among all the Americas. “In the process of adjustment to new conditions,” Secretary Roper add- | ed. “it is significant that the cardinal | principles of Rotary International are as fundamental to safe progress and a safeguarded future for our country as when civilization was in the stage of a simpler economy. Your organiza- tion stands as an instrument of mutual understanding in nearly all of the im- portant countries of the world.” Calls on President. M. Duperrey called at the White House earlier in the day and paid his respects to President Roosevelt. He was accompanied by Jules Henry, Charge d’Affaires of the French Em- bassy, and George W. Harris of the Washington Rotary Club. The silver anniversary dinner of the Washington Rotary Club will be held at the Mayflower Hotel at 7 o'clock tonight. M. Duperrey will be the only speaker. Prominent Rotarians from other cities and a number of dis- tinguished guests will attend. President Roosevelt planned to re- ceive M. Duperrey during the day, and the head of world Rotary also expected to call on Secretary of State Hull. Luncheon for Mme. Duperrey. Social events of the day included luncheon at the Congressional Country Club, which the wives of Rotarians tendered Mme. Duperrey. Officers and directors of the Wash- ington Rotary Club gave M. Duperrey a luncheon at the Army and Navy Club. His hosts included Robert B. Swope, president; Albert F. E. Horn, vice president; Joseph K. Moyer, secre- tary; Richard W. Hynson, treasurer; W. Spencer Brenizer, sergeant at arms; the Rev. Charles T. Warner, past president; James S. J. Clark, Percival Hall, Henry E. Stringer, Roy W. Crampton, E. Carlyn Guy, M. X. Wilberding, Clayton A.

TRAFFIC CONDITIONS IN CAPITAL ASSAILED Palmisano Announces Conference Has Been Arranged to Pre- pare Relief Program. Trafic conditions in Washington were vigorously condemned by Secre- tary of the Interior Ickes today in a letter to Commissioner Hazen in which he also opposed the theory of stag- gering the opening and closing hours | in the Government departments as a | means of alleviating congestion. Secretary Ickes particularly objected | to a proposal to require Interior De- partment employes to report for duty at 8:15 a.m. throughout the year. In the short days of the Winter, he de- clared, the plan would work undue particularly | on employes, those who live in the suburbs. Conference on Traffic. Meanwhile Chairman Palmisano of the House District Committee an- nounced conferences will be held with District officials to develop a compre- hensive and continuing program of traffic relief as soon as the special ses- sion of Congress convenes. It is daily emphasized, Palmisano said. that the traffic situation is grow- ing worse and that definite steps must be taken toward a permanent relief | for the future. At the same time, he expressed belief the problem will not | be solved by underground parking areas in the business district or by subways or elevated structures. He added. however, he plans to approach | the subject “with an open mind.” Special attention was called by | Ickes to a number of traffic violations | which tend to snarl traffic and in- | tensify congestion. He mentioned specifically “loitering by drivers, cars occupying two traffic lanes, motorists making turns from the wrong lane, | the blocking of intersections at traffic lights, dirregard of stop signs, the re- fusal of slow drivers to heed the signal for passing and the common disre- | gard of one-way traffic during the congested period: “There is never an occasion during my travel to and from the office.” he said, “that I do not see numerous vio- lations of regulations or the tenets of good driving.” Hits Double Parking of Trucks. Secretary Ickes likewise pointed out that one of the more common ob- | structions to traffic is the double park- | ing of delivery trucks. “It would seem | to me,” he declared, “that this privi- lege might be withdrawn if parking by passenger automobiles were pro- | hibited in front of business establish- hardship | ments and other places where deliv- eries are necessary. This would per- mit the trucks to draw up to the curb instead of stopping in the middle of the street. You will find flagrant ex- amples of this practice on Seventeenth street between P street and Florida | avenue.” “I believe that, if the main thor- oughfares were patroled vigorous traffic would be greatly accelerated and the need for staggered hours would be less apparent,” Secretary Ickes added. “I dn not mean a pro- gram of wholesale arrests, but a cam- paign of education for drivers by the uniformed police whose warnings | would be observed. It has been my experience that in many of the north and south thoroughfares there is only one traffic lane in some sections due to authorized and unauthorized park- ing and double parking.” ENTENCED ON TRAFFFIC CHARGES Hazel B. Petrello Arraigned on Five Counts After Arrest in Wild Chase. Arraigned on five traffic charges, Hazel B. Petrello, 1309 M street, was sentenced by Judge Robert Newman in Traffic Court today to serve 30 days each on two charges of reckless driving. She also was fined $15 for speeding and her personal bond was taken on charges of leaving after colliding and operating on an expired permit. Miss Petrello’s arrest came after what Motor Cycle Policemen H. W. Carmichael and A. D. Clark described as one of the wildest chases in which they ever participated. MATERNAL DEATH RATE CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED Dozen Groups Join to Promote Better Care for Mothers in Childbirth. By the Associated Press. Leaders of a dozen national er- ganizations began preparations today to unify and ‘expand a campaign to give women more adequate care be- fore, during and after childbirth. They attended a conference called by the Children’s Bureau to arrange a Nation-wide meeting, probably in January, to discuss ways to lower the Nation's maternal and infant mor- tality rates. The conferees were told that every 42 minutes a mother dies of condi- tions associated with pregnancy. A baby is born every 15 seconds, but in 1935, the delegates were told, 52,262 lived no longer than a month because of injuries. at birth or of causes aris- ing during pregnancy. Retreat Master Named.

The Capital Transit Co. reported to the Public Utilities Commission yes- terday that the brake rod which failed on one of its cars Monday, resulting in a crash in which seven passengers were injured, was comparatively new and had met all of the prescribed tests prior to its installation September 25. The brake rod, the company said, was manufactured in the company's shops of a special type of steel. Exam- ination showed it broke in a diagonal shape at a point where it was welded in the process of manufacture. The company also said such brake rods are tested every 1,500 miles. and that the car on which the rod broke had traveled only 1,284 miles. An independent investigation of the cause of the crash is being made by commission inspectors.

They can’t stand the covert snickers of the feminine patrons,” she said. According to Gail the entrance of women into business since the war is the cause of it all.
