WIGNER ATS FATE TO GUO _ usor POU) Sapreme Court Ruling - On Work Relations ( Expecfl Today 'NEW LEGISLATION i AWAEDECISION éBiIl Intended To Reduce Strikes By Recourse To Bargaining WASHINGTON, March 20-@P) '-Congressional leaders indicated today a more definite labpr policy fiat the administration might fol- low the supreme court's decision on constitutionality of the Wagner labor relations act. The court assembled after a two weeks' recess, during which the justices devoted their entire time to writing decisions This bolstered the belief of some observers that the Wagner ision would be announced dur- the session opening at noon, n standard time. Labor Legislation Waits Senator Robinson of Arkansas, majority leader, and others have said there was no point in consid- ering further labor legislation un- til after a ruling on the Wagner act. This law guarantees to work- men the right to collective bar- mith their on wages, hours and working con- ditions. It was intended by the administration to reduce strikes and other disputes which would affect interstate commerce. For the time being at least, the dministration has indicated a ands off\ attitude will be pur- sued toward sit-down strikes, al- though some members of congress have proposed legislation to ban them. Robinson said after a white house conference Saturday that no, condition had arisen so far to war- rant federal intervention. He said federal action could not be invoked unless federal laws were violated, federal property in- terfered with, or state authorities requested federal aid to preserve law and order. Green Denounces Sit-Downs Although the administration silent on sit-down strikes, were denounced in a «state- ut last night by Williar- Green, lent of the American Federa- ion 'of Labor. 'The sit-down tech- nique has been used by the A. F. of L's rival, the Committee for Industrial Organization. Green asserted this form of strike held \grave implications detrimental to labor's interest.\ \I publicly warn labor against this illegal procedure,\ he said. There was no immediate from John L. L&wis, bushy-halred chieftain of the O. His unions initiated the sit-down technique in this country, using them.in con- troversies with the automobile manufacturing. companies. Green said there were two ma- jaro reasons why \thinking men and women of labor\ must disavow sit-down strikes. He said these were that public opinion would not rt them and that they would \Inevitably lead to perma- nent injury.\ Another development was an opinion I? the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers' legal divi- gion, sent to all association mem- bers, that the sit-down is ilegal. It said this was true because \It necessarily involves a seizure of property of others\ and because a sit-down striker is trespasser.

XXXIX Ne. 14 As Milady Varied Hues And Shapes In Hats Enliven Duthits By FAY MARTIN Frozen ts, red nose and hair wildly blowing about in the March gale were all forgotten as I caught glimpses of more and more breath-taking Easter ensem- bles on fleeing maidens dashing for shelter to their cars, homes or churches, leaving the deserted vil- lage streets denuded of all the gay finery in yesterday's Easter pa- rade. Styles, Colors Bright Looking through the maze of newest fashions, trickier this year than ever before, combining the lavishness of the 18th century, the daring of the '80's, and the braz- enness of the post-war days, this year's crop of sport suits and thing-a-jig hats are perhaps the most flattering - and popular, Beige and blues of every descrip- tion showed themselves more in the scurrying blasts than any other colors. And those three- piece suits in tweeds and wool, looking snappy enough to be worn with lots of assuredness at any afternoon affair in town or coun- try, withstood chill gales with careless ease. Miss Joan Raynor and Miss Gay Edwards, Freeport high school classmates, walked down the street wearing outfits that would make any sports-minded woman look back over her shoulder several, times.

Price Cutting Hinted Minimum prices established by the law include a wholesale charge of 10 3-4 cents a quart. Milk sold in stores brings 12 cents and when | delivered to the home, 13 cents. Local dealers have not yet been notified by their Manhattan of- fices about any revision of prices, it was said this morning at the Rockville Centre unit of Borden's Farm Products. The possibility of price-cutting by small dealers was hinted by a company official who said that \it was practically impossible now to make any profit. There may be some who will try to sell at less than the former minimum price.\ At Albany yesterday, it was said that the price-fixing features would expire automatically since reply |the legislature had recessed until April 5 without extending them. Other ms such as those providing for bonding and licens- ing of dealers and establishing health requirements for producers and distributors, however, are per- manent, The division was created in 1933 when the milk control law was enacted as an emergency measure to assume functions formerly held by a milk control board headed by the commissioner of agriculture and markets.

Gay Colors Feature Easter Fashions RUDE WiNDs RUFFLE | NEW EASTER FINERY New hats were sent by a wind with a velocity 30 miles ap hour that roared through Nassau yesterday to ruffle the finery of Easter promenaders. The spring holi- day was reported as one of the coldest on record in recent years. Weather experts at Mitchel field said that unrecorded gusts of wind at.time hit a higher velocity than 30 miles. The lowest temperatures of the day were reached at 6:30 a. m. and at 10:30 p. m., when the mer- cury dropped to 28 degrees. The peak came at 3:30 p. m., when the mercury rose to 34 degrees and stayed at that point for an hour. ® The outlook for today and to- morrow is fair and slightly warmer with a probability that the temperature will rise to 40 | degrees. 2,000 WELCOME - EASTER AT DAM | Services Held At Bethpage: Are Well Attended | Despite Cold \ ore than 2,000 persons braved !a wintery dawn yesterday morning 'to participate inat thethe second annual Eastern service Bethpage state park. The affair was pro- “munced « suc ess by the sponsors, | Rotary clubs of Long Island, tad“! 'and it was indicated the service Emay become a permanent activity 'of the Rotarians. | Choir Greets Sun The choir of 100 mixed voices under the direction of Mrs. Elwood A. Curtis of Hicksville, my their (Easter message in the cold al¥ as; \the sun rose over the hilltops n!‘ {the 1,300-acre state park. The) Aida brass quartet, well-known! for their performances on the [radio, wearing fur coats over their | robes, accomp.nied the singers: and gave several selections. The processional from the club- house to the nearby scene of the services was led by the quartet, followed in turn by ministers of participating churches, the choir and the Rotarians. The services were staged on a natural plateau near the parking area and club- house. | The audience faced the tiling“ sun which tried bravely to break through the overhanging clouds. The Rev. August F. Brunn of A ityville pronounced the invoca- tion, the Rev. J. G. Sherman of Farmingdale read the ripture and the Rev, William Striker of Hicksville gave the bertediction. The address of welcome was given by Talsey B. Knapp, difector of the State Institute of Applied Ag- riculture and member of the Fo gdale Rotary club. Breakfast Served Dr. Harry N, Holmes, active worker for the World Alliance for International Friendship, was principal speaker. His topic was the Resurrection. Selections of the Aida brass quar- tet included \Call to the Dawn\ by Bach, \Great Is the Lord\ by Buzzi-Peccia, and \Eastern Halle- lujah\ by Andrews. The choir sang \Send Out Th t\ by Grounod and \The tau \ by Stephens Adams. The audience joined the choir in \Christ the Is F sen Today\ by Davidica 1705 and an Easter hymn.

Suits Predeminate Most of those who were hardy enough to withstand the cold, however, chose bright new suits. While navy and grey were much in evidence, as they are each year, beige held its own, and many of the younger girls sported outfits of bright shades of blue, coral, yellow or green. Three piece suits were, as a rule, of two colors. A brown loose-weave skirt, with | flecks of tan, proved an effective background for a gold colored swagger coat. It was worn with a brain felt hat with trimmings and streamers of brown and gold | chiffon, and brown accessories. | The smart new black suits in plain, solid weaves, made their ap- pearance. One smart outfit in- cluded a white sheer blouse, made high and full in the neckline, and worn with black accessories. Those who chose to play safe and wear their winter coats for another week or so, enlivened their outfits with shiny new straws in black or colors, light or bright gloves and shoes, and a gay bouteniere. ELEGTRIG RATES REVISION 16 SEEN Seasonal Customers Nassau County Will Benefit By Change In The Long Island Light com- pany has f tric rates the- comffission, reducing the length of the \term\ of the residential and general rates in the western di- vision of its territory and estab- lishing rates for \breakdown\ or auxiliary service to customers whose electric requirements are not entirely supplied by the com- pany. The \term\ of the residential and general rates is reduced from one year to four months in all of the western division which in- cludes Nassau county and the western part of Suffolk county. The commission directed the can- cellation of some short term rates of the company some time ago. Payments Reduced For seasonal customers in Nas- sau county this means a reduction in the number of monthly mini- mum charges which must be paid from 12 to 4, although the actual effect depends upon the extent to which the one year term was en- forced. For seasonal customers in western Suffolk county the change means reductions, which in some cases will be quite substantial, for certain consumption ranges de- pending upon the number of months during which service is taken. , The company has 'also filed a reduction in its wholesale power rate applicable to the entire terri- tory served by the company ex- cept Fire Island Beach; The com- pany states that of 81 customers served under the rate at present, 14 will receive reductions estima- ted as amofinting in total to $7,- 500 per year and the company will be able to retain a customer who proposed to use approxi- mately $30,000 of energy per year, Other changes made in the rate schedules include the consolida~ tion into a single schedule with two rate districts of the rules, regulations and rates now con- tained: in two separate schedules. Minor changes are made in the rules and regulations. These changes result in the ex- ténsion into additional area of cer- secondary service during only, and has a mi charge of not less than $25 month. .

MedaLngged | Leather Trophy Spiked: By Cops No Matter Who Wins Garden City cops feel they have, right in their own police headquarters, the best exam- ple of really friendly rivalry existing in Nassau county. For the past month, the cops and members of the Gar- den City Rifle and Pistol club have been battling, at week- end shoots, for possession of a huge leather medal, awarded after each target contest, to the winning team. The medal, a disc at least seven inches in diameter and a half - inch thick, was created by a mem- ber of the pistol club when , police shooters suggested that some bol of vie should go to. the successful marksmen after each meet. - However, the lavish ideas of the medal's creator created a problem. If the cops win, it was pointed out, they have but to hang the huge medal on a peg in the stationhouse, but if the club wins, it has the added problem of transport- ing the trophy, And besides, the pistol clubbers com- plained, they have no club- house, and no peg on which to hang it. So, armed with a hammer and goodwill, Acting Chief A. M. Vandewater installed an- other peg, on the opposite side of the office in the main desk room of the heéadquar- ters. Now when the medal changes hands, it merely travels from peg to pe«. \That ought to spike any rumors of unfriendly compe- tition,\ Chief Vandewater commented. \This lan fills our need; it hits the fail right on the head.\ FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED | BY “REMOTAIECONTROL”i Patchogue Firemen Work From District Line, 100 Feet Away Though he still doesn't believe in it as a general rule, Chief Wil- liam Sinn of the Patchogue fire department was today quite satis- fied over his first experiment with \remote control\ fire fighting methods.
