2 Th Ntwi-IUYlw, Rowburj, Or So., April 29. 1950 New York City Dwellers Still Yalking Stairs NEW YORK, April 29. UPt A conditional arbitration offer by landlord! wu rejected today by striking apartment home workeri, whose walkout has turned Manhat tan's skyscraper dwellings Into walkupa. Landlords had offered to submit the dispute to an arbitrator pro viding any awards granted the union would be deferred until land lords get relief from the current rent frt-ie. The union said employer! "must think ua naive" to expect accept ance of such an offer. Negotiations were to resume this afternoon In tin three-day-old strike, that has halted elevators and disrupted dotens of other services in Manhattan's tall, beehive-like dwellinrs. Garbaje was beginning to colli t and poil on the uppe- floors of the city a skyscraper apartment. Mail lay unsorted In the foyers. Grocery boys refused to deliver . food to the higher floors where whole families were mirooned. And tenants, short of breath and with aching feet and legs, plodded u flight after flight of stairs. Some of the 1,000 struck buildings have 30 floors or more. Meanwiiile, the jinking r embers of the FL Building Service Em ployes International union and the apartment house o-vners still were deadlocked over the major issue wsge . The strikers, who Include service men and Janitors as well as ele vator operators, want $2 75 more a week, a 40-hour Instead of a 49 hour week, and a pension plan. The union says present wagea average 145 50 to $50.32.

' Umpqua Hotel Lobby Tax Writers Hunt Mtthod To Evtn Cuts (Continued from page One) various levies on tobacco. It ap peared, too. to be ignoring Mr. Truman's request that a new 10 percent tax be levied on television seta. It slowed down the chopping when it got near the end of the excise list, after bursting out of the President's limits at the start. In the travel, transportation and communication items the President hsd suggested cuts of $505,000,000. The committee held them to $357, 000,000. In detail, this is what the com mittee recommended yesterday: Night clubs reversed Thurs day's action, to approve a slash from 20 percent to 10 in the im post on night club bills. This would save patrons about $19,000,000 a year, it decided, too, to exempt from the cabaret or night club tax the ordinary dance hall where pop is soia on tne sine. Local telephones slash the IS percent tax on residential tele phone bills to 10. Retain the IS per cent rate on business telephones On so-called "short-tolls" of resi dential or business telephones the tax would be reduced from 15 per cent to 10 on charges under 25 cents. President Truman had re quested no reduction in the tax on local telephones. Long distance telephone and radio telephone reduce the 25 percent tax to 20 percent. The President suggested a cut to IS percent. Telegraph slash the 25 percent rate to 10 percent. Here the cut was deepter than Mr. Truman pro posed. He suggested 15 percnet. Travel ticketa trim the IS percent impost to 10 percent This would mean a saving of $75,000, 000 a year for persons riding rail roads, airplanes, buses, and the like. The cut conforms with what the President asked. Transportation of freight cut the 3 percent tax to lVi percent. Mr. Truman asked that this tax be removed completely. The com mittee said also the transportation tax on coal should be cut from 4 cents a ton to 2 cents. Such reductions would save transport ers of freight about $165,000,000 annually. Leased wires 25 percent to 20 percent. Press wires already are exempt Rebuilt and reconditioned auto parte exempt them from the 5 percent manufacturera' excise I levy. j Radio acts exempt from the 1 10 percent manufacturera' excise j those communication and naviga tion acta sold to the government.

Countercharges Hurled In Milk Price War Charges, and countercharge were being tossed back and forth today in Roseburg's milk price war. Distributors claimed they were being threatened with "control of our businesses by the unions," while producers accused distrib utors of cuting prices to the farm ers but not passing benefits on to consumers. Meanwhile prospect were that picket lines, possibly starting on Monday, will curtail milk distribu tion. There la a principle involved in this matter that is just too much for us to take," said H. V. Sulli van of the Umpqua dairy, spokes man for the distributors. "If the unions can tell ua where we must buy our milk and what we must pay for It, they can tell a grocery man where he must buy bis mer chandise and how he must run his business. This is not in keep ing with American tradition. If it is permitted, free enterprise is doomed. Sullivan said that prices paid producers in the Roseburg area are aa high as in any comparable community. "Plenty of producers," he added, "are satisfied with our pricea, for we have offera of 2,000 gallons dally from Eugene, more milk from Grants Pass, and a large supply from the western part of Douglas county." Claiming that a surplus of both milk and butter exists, Sullivan said, "lower prices are needed to increase consumption." "The whole issue," said Sulli van, "is whether the unions can tell us how we shall run our bus inesseswhere we shall buy milk and what prices we shall pay." Organized producers, through their president, Al Binder, and secretary-treasurer, Al Hooten. to day issued a formal, statement as follows: "We producers are dairy farm ers affiliated with the Umpqua Valley Milk Producers association. The members of our organization produce over M per cent of the grade A milk in the Rosebuig area mllkshed. "We were very surprised to rend an advertisement in the local newspsper stating that we reeoe. nize and are cooperating to cut the price that we are receiving for our milk. At present we are wonting aoout it nours a day and our wagea average out about 40 cents an hour, and no overtime. We certainly do not feel we can accept any cut which will make this still lower. The distributors have intcrnreted the minimum rate to be paid to us farmers as Baby bottle warmer! repeal me iu percent tax. The committee decided the S percent tax should stay on burg' iar and fire alarms. they left our name out of this storyl AND... .. .. ed v.r. ol v being the maximum. They do not seem to interpret it that way when it applies to them, because we have a letter on file from Thomas Ohlsen to Mr. Hooten, stating that minimum price to be paid by the public is It cents a quart. It teems evident that the distributors want to pay ua the lowest they legally can, yet do not want to pass all of this along to the public. There haa been no change in the mini mum price set by the Milk Con trol board since last November. We expect to get the same rev enue from our Grade A milk as do the dairy farmera in the Grants rass and Medford areas. "We feel sure the people of noseourg want ua to opera's a buainesa above board, and when they know all the facts will sup port us against further cuts. We also leel sure the people of Rose burg know how necessary good, clean, sanitary, inspected grade A milk is to the Jiealth and wel fare of the entire community "We have heard that milk will be brought into the Roseburg area from the outside and that it would be marketed as grade A milk. We have reason to believe that the public may receive milk which is not produced under grade A standards, and we hope an inspec tor will carefully check this out. "The Oregon State college, through its statisticians, has set the cost of producing 4 per cent milk, during March, at $6.32. This is considerably above what we we r e getting before we were threatened with a cut." Distributors, according to their spokesmen, are anticipating Uut an attempt will be made to en force demands through use of a picket line. The producers' asso ciation recently affiliated with the A. F. of L. Union participation has been largely directed by the Tear sters union, because of its part in handling milk transporta tion. No formal statement has been forthcoming regarding the establishment of picket lines. Dis tributors said, however, they were anticipatng picket lines Monday. John B. Fullerton Passes At Home John B.

C, April 29 i.V Doukhobor women, bent on shucking their clothes, were quicker on the drawstring yesterday than police were on the draw. Asa result one managed to do a complete strip-act and others bared themselves to the waist at their trial here before blushing bobbies could cover them with blankets. The police were caught flat footed by a new surprise disrob ing technique. The women had al tered their garments so a quick pull on a hidden drawstring would leave them in eve's en semble. The undressing took only five seconds. Anticipating an outbreak of nu dism, the coppers had come equip ped with a big supply of blankets. The only trouble was the new zip-and-it's-off maneuver. All of which overshadowed the serious business of the trail. Thirty men and women, all members of the Doukhobor extremist branch, the Sons of Freedom, each were sentenced to three years in pri son They had been charged with parading in the nude. The Douks have traditionally dis robed as a symbol of protest and contend their nude demonstrations are signs of equality. P.O.

From now on, every customer will know exactly what day his milk delivery will come. Until now, there was much confusion because every other week the delivery was on a different day. Effective May 1, the delivery of milk to the homes will be the same day every week. This will be done by eliminating Sunday deliveries. You, the customer, will find this new delivery system very satisfactory. All the dairies are in full agreement and assure all their customers, as always, of faithful effort to complete satisfaction. Every customer will receive a pamphlet that will explain the new delivery plan.
