Decorated Dishes Bring Big Prices At Local Auctions

A deitiaiid for the rare old decorated dishes that used to adorn gisiiilinothei's cupboard and sideboard has become evident in De cutur and community, a survey revealed today. A check with those in attendance at recent personal property auction sales disclosed that many of the highly decorated dishes and plates which "went out with the bustle" are being sought by a particular group. Antique collectors and dealers are believed largely responsible, but in a few cases residents who are not particularly interested In antiques have gone into the higher bracket bidding. Moat unusual of the incidents reported is one which occurred recently in a sale near Decatur. When an old colored glass dish was offered, the auctioneer waa HI ■ I I - m— l ini .I— HU— —■»—MW— I—■ "foreign shipH would not observe the economic rules and re quin incuts imposed on American flag lines, and thus would upset the economy of the American merchant marine and offset some of the heavy investments made by government and private interests in th American merchant marine." Steve Quarles, of the central Lades and labor council of New Orleans, said the project would "destroy countless Jolts In the ■Missis ippi Vail y." He said it would affect longshoremen, dray clerks, teamsters, warehou emi-11, railroad clerks and rall.oad operating employes.

lamis A. Schwartz, gen rul manager of the New Orleans traffic and transport it ion biiremt. mid the 1 oject would cmi-e New Orleans to lose substantially all of its foreign cotnnirre now originating ill or lolisigiied Io the Northern Mississippi valley. He said many of the steamship services in tiie area would have to b abandoned for la, k of business. _—o Teamsters Union Not Solidly Democratic Labor Vote Not In Democrat Pockets Indianapolis, Feb. 2K--tt i’t — Tin- Intel national Teamstern I'n ion IAFL) warned tiie Dctno-,-ratlc party today that it need not expect complete support of its candidate,; by tiie uatioii'x unions. The union's magazine, the inlernational Teamster, edited by president Daniel J. Tobin, said Hie “congressional elections next fall will probably find tiie teamsters supitortiiig some Republican candidates,” "In recent years the teamsters and most other union. l , have voted tiie Democrat ticket so consistently that many Democratic politicians believed we were part of their party machinery." the maga- { zine said "They will soon awaken Io the fait that the labor vote is not In ■ their pockets, laibor is not inter ested in what political party gets Irto office. Therefore it will support its friends in Itoth parties." The magazine said tha' the teamsters probably would support men "like Senator Morse of Ore- j gon and Congressman La Follette of Indiana." "They will not (support) men like Senator Taft of Ohio and Congressman Case of South Da kola, however." It add<-d . O’ ' — Vermont is Hie only New Eng ■ land state without a seacost.

amused to find lite bidding soar Ing far almve thu actual market value of the item. The purchaser paid |57 for the dish-one which was adorned by the glass figure of an old ben atop the cover. In another case a colored glasa plate, hardly anything more than those which used to adorn hundreds ut cupboards In Adama county, brought |IN. Since the DPA had no way ot knowing these items would be tn such demand at the outbreak ot the emergency, it was pointed out that no ceiling price had been listed. Lovers of antiques, therefore, find themselves in the midst of a bitter bidding battle when they finally search out a much sought after item at a sale.
