Local Architect Back From

Antigua, Site of U.S. Air Base

Antigua is a tiny isle; ‘you'd have

to look sharp to see it even flying | : over it because ‘it’s just one of the i

dots on the map that curve like a

dropped necklace from the Do- § minican Republic down. to South 7

America. But Antigua, which until a few months ago. was just a 100-square-mile dot in the sea, a small exporter of sugar cane to England, has become. bustling and important. It contains one - of the eight bases traded by England to the United States for 50 old destroyers. . Robert Frost Daggett Jr., who lives at 4904 Washington Blvd., has just returned from Antigua. He was employed ‘there by the United States as an architectural draftsman, and although he says the weather was pleasant there all the time, .it’s nice to be home, eating fresh, tender meat, and green vegetables. The population of Antigue is 40,000, of which only from 4 to 5 per cent is white. The natives are ‘a mixture of Syrian, Portugese, African and Caribs, the original West Indians. Since this is a British" possession, the natives have learned to speak

REVISED LABOR BILL DRAFTED]

Committee Version Extracts Some ‘Teeth’ Urged by House Leaders.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (U.P.).— The House Labor Committee today approved revised strike-curb legislation that would set up a largely

Jvoluntary system of mediation and

| arbitration in defense labor dis-

putes and authorize Government seizure-of struck plants. The bill, minus some of the “teeth” which it originally contained to enforce defense labor peace, was approved after the committee had

‘|received a flat ultimatum from

English with an Oxford accent, and §

Mr. Daggett says ‘it’s startling to address a coal-black native police-

man, and have him answer in clear, § clipped, British tones, even to the §

broad “A.”

There are about 700 Americans

there now, preparing the island for’

the great air base that will help protect this country. Antigua is about 300 miles north of ‘Trinidad, and about 150 north of Martinique, the French island. The men who have been brought there by contractors live in “parracks”; others, government employees, live in rooming houses in the town of St. John, which is Antigua’s metropolis — population

activities embrace| 7000

x direction of the Mr. Maxwell me's Christ mas distribution, and R. O. T. C. promotion in the metropolitan area. Mr. Maxwell is a native Hoosier. He was born in Greencastle, and attended DePauw University,

Mr. Daggett roomed with two English spinsters—the Misses Alice and Nell Humphries. Both were born on the island. He said British custom is strictly observed in Antigua. Tea is served

“WHERE BETTER ruRNITORE IS SOLD”

WE SELL DEFENSE STAMPS

House leaders to produce some kind of a measure today or lose jurisdiction over the labor program. The bill would set up a.procedure for collective bargaining and conciliation of defense labor disputes and create a new National Defense Mediation Board with statutory power to act with only its public representatives in attendanee, when labor and industry representatives are hopelessly deadlocked.

‘Cooling Off’ Period

The board would be authorized to take jurisdiction of disputes which were not settled by conciliation. The board could issue an order against the “calling or assisting in any manner” of a strike during a 69day mediation period. This would be in effect, a “cooling off” period. But the bill specifically states that no order of the board or process of ‘any court shall prevent any employee of any plant from striking, or make such refusal to work an illegal act. ‘The board’s order against “assisting” a strike apparently would be directed against picketing, payment of strike benefits and other devices used by organized labor to enforce strikes, during the 60-day “cooling off” period only. .

The Seizure Provision

The committee’s government seizure provision would authorize President Roosevelt to seize and operate plants involved in an unsettleable dispute. There would be nothing to prevent the President from granting a closed shop, suspending a closed shop, granting wage ‘increases or working condition demands, or deciding which of two rival unions he chose to recognize in any dispute. The print of the bill was presented for the consideration of the committee as a substitute for a previous proposal for compulsory arbitration of defense strikes. The plant seizure provision differed from the bill by Sen. Tom Connally (D. Tex.), which was ap proved simultaneously by a 12-to-2 vote of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Under Mr. Connally’s bill, which deals solely with Government seizure of struck plants and mines, labor conditions at such establishments would be frozen during the period of government operation. Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.) voted to report the Connally measure.

PLANS FOR PARLEY SNAGGED BY ITALY

Somewhere in Europe, Nov. 28.— That much-discussed <Franco-Ger-man conference was originally scheduled for Berlin ons Wednesday of this week and not Occupied France, and was expected to include Italians, paralleling the 13-na-tion conferences in the German capital, according to the account heard in foreign circles today. (Reports have gone so far as to state that Marshal Petain was to meet with high German officials, perhaps Hitler himself.) This Franco-German-Italian parley failed to occur, it is said, due to Italian insistence that the Nazis ress Italy's territorial claims— hich the Nazis declined on the grounds that the time was inopportune. The inference seems to be that the Nazis are unwilling to jeopardize the concessions they themselves are seeking from Vichy France.

By UNITED PRESS ' The C. I. O. mobilized Youley. to fight proposed anti-strike legislation as.the number of defense labor disputes appeared dwindling. C. I. O. President Philip Murray called C. I. O, leaders to a conference ‘Monday to study Congressional moves to restrict strikes. He said the union leaders must co-op-erate if “labor ‘is. to be protected against the early enactment of such repressive legislation.” In Washington, George Meany, secretary-treasurer of the A. F. of L., said that an agreement has been reached to ent the controversy between the machinists and hoisting engineers which caused a strike earlier this week at 400 industrial plants. in the St. Louis area. At Buffalo, N. Y., the long controversy between the Bel! Aircraft Corp. and the United Automobile Workers (C. I. O) grew more serious. ‘The union ‘announced that a strike deadiine would be tixed at a mass meeting Sunday. Indicating that railway workers have backed down somewhat from their original wage demands, Charles M. Hay, counsel for the rail brotherhoods, today told Fresident Roosevelt’s special fact-finding board that railroads can afford tage raises totaling $400,000,000 as well as they can afford’ raises recommended by the board.
