One of the oldest feuds in organized labor has been between two AFL unions, the Unit- i ed Brotherhood of Carpenters and the Inter national Association of Machinists. Both are powerful unions with over 850,0(30 members each. From about the dawn age of craft unions there have beerij disputes between carpenters and machinists over which Jcraft got certain types 01 jods. ine coniuci5,.iicu led to shutdown of work on jobs for! long periods of time until the dispute was settled, ' or else the dispute -was fought through to victdry. j 1 . i ).'. -J - It was announced Saturday that heads of the two unions, Maurice Hutchesonl for the carpenters and Al J. Hayes for the machinists had signed agreements which -i it . is hoped . will end the controversy. The agreement draws up job boundaries, but that in ; itself would not be enough! In the past there were toundaries chiefly what each union claimed as within its jurisdiction. .This agreement goes farther and sets up machinery iot set tling the dispute. The agreement runs for two years but either party mayj serve notice of desire for modification sixty days before its terminal date; so if either pary feels ag grieved it can wash the deal out after .two years. - , f ij ' ;f ' ; Four other unions signed an agreement to eettle interunion disputes: teamsters, carpen ters, bricklayers and laborers and operating engineers. Dave Beck would go into any blanket deal however, stating that the team sters preferred to negotiate directly. There has been no defense for the costly Jurisdictional boycotts or picketing. jA. long nreran itpH lahor. William Green and Philio Murray, resisted congressional action to ban jurisdictional boycotts od picketing. At long last the unions are making a real effort to end the recurring incidents of turmoil, which have distracted employers, the public and labor-itself over which union got the specific job. It is however too early to predict per- , manence af sweetness and light among unions. When men are fighting fort jobs and their union leaders for "jurisdiction" the scrap may become bitter unless the restraints j are strong and readily applicable. , f Variations in Pronunciation ' "Say 'Ah' " is a carryover from a physical ' examination for induction into service. But how you pronounce certain words will tell an expert like Prof. C. KJ I Thomas of Cornell University, where you came from. - Take the word "greasy"., Northerners pro-" nounce it greasy. Those, who come from south of the ! Mason k Dixon j line pronounce it "greazy.' Aid there are other regionalisms in our speech.? We are fiiniliar with the Southern drawl the Harvard accent, and the flat clackety-clack of the midwest. Thomas picks out seven words as the keys to identifying what part ;of the USA one comes from, and discusses their variations in an article in "Town' Journal' which is the successor to the old Pathfinder" magazine which! by the way has undergone numerous transformations since it was sort of supple mentary i reading in schools and a welcome "visitor in many homes of humble folk. The words? Greasy, heart, floor, on, can't, orange, water. Then he throws' in I a few extras, -road, fish, rainy day, bird. Take the word "can't": "In New England it often is said 'cahnt' (no affectation either, as it might be in other areas). In the South it's j frequently caint' to rhyme with paint. Else-i 'where 'can't' goes along with plant and scant." f 'i Or "on": "North of Philadelphia you turn your TV set 'ahn. In Philadelphia and south of therf, you turn it 'awn.' Both 'awn and 'greasy follow parallel belts past the Missis sippi, and then get all mixed up. If you find a new acquaintance who (rhymes greasy with fleecy and on with lawn, you might take a guess that he J comes from somewhere be tween Colorado and Seattle." i .. ' - We'v.e stolen enough from Prof. Thomas and Town Journal. If you want to find out where you come from find the article and see how you pronounce the key words. You may fifid you? come from some region yoti never knew about. t ' 0 Threat or Persuasion - While France plays hard-to-get in the westeni alliance,! little Belgium which suffer ed worse than France from invasions in two 1 wars (but showed far more gumption in get ' ting on its feet after World War II) takes a much more realistic attitude toward the future of Germany. Its foreign minister Paul Spaak,who has also been a leader in the European Consultative Organization with headquarters at Strasbourg, sounded a warn ing that the United States and Britain would withdraw troops from the continent unless Germany is allowed to rearm. If Belgium, twice the victim, of German aggression, is .willing to trust a Germany rearmed but within the western alliance it would seem that France need not be so timid. ! However the United States shouldn't apply bald and bold pressures or threats. National sovereignty is still a precious thingj. Spaak might voice his warning, but Britain land the United States had best rely on the tool of persuasion, j i ' .rfH ?;JT i'-Vi'J YTL- sre-.Vs. a-'eTVl V - I i f - J .

However, when it oc-' curs in a woman over the age of thirty-five, it may be due to a chronic or prolonged infection of the kidney. I 1 A woman's kidneys are more susceptible to infection than a man's, due to the difference in the body organs. In fact these infections sometimes have their origin : in early life, dating' back to babyhood. It, is often, difficult to diagnose hypertension that occurs because of a kidney disease. Unexplained fever and chills are often symp tomatic of it There may be sec ondary damage of the kidneys due to the hypertension. j Even if the kidney condition Is corrected, high blood pressure may continue, due to the permanent damage suffered by one or both kidneys.: j Careful examination by a phy sician should include a urinalysis as well as X-rays of the kidney, in order to determine if a kidney disease is or is not causing the hypertension.

It was my introduction to an impressive ceremony on the banks of the Saugus River the Saugus Iron works restoration. Saugus is 10 miles north of Bos ton and the performance noted above was-on the occasion of the revival. A lot of people spent a lot of tune making the place look like it did in the period from 1646 to 1670. , More than 300 years ago. Ham mersmith, as Saugus was called back there, was turning out iron pots and spiders (skillets to us modern folk) and bars and rods for the Puritans of New England, Today, the place has been re stored, completely. The project which. cost a pretty penny of pri vate money, was backed by the American Iron and Steel Insti tute.. ! : , When Boston was a yearling, or let's say less than 20 years of age, Hammersmith was the won der of the time. It had a blast furnace. Forges glowed. There was a big water-lifted hammer. to borrow the parlance of the times; and a slitting mill, and ore pits, and charcoal kilns.1 Unhappily, Hammersmith feu into bad times. By the 1670's the foundry was abandoned and went into ruins. But' 15 years ago a group of civic-minded citizens went to work on the job of restoring. Today, Hammersmith stands as it did in the long ago. The oxen in the first para graph, old "Duke" and "Bright' mean as they are, are close kin to the beasts that helped to build the place. Historians, in the re vival, dug and dug and finally came up with more , than six tons of relics. They are on display. And for $100 a day, John Tread well will show you his oxen.. Unity Among Demos Urged For Campaign NEW! YORK -1 Delegates 'to' this week's Democratic State Con vention flocked into the city Sun day amid pleas by party leaders for unity in the face of what could be a knock-down-drag-out fight for the gubernatorial nomination. Many party leaders have closed ranks behind Averell Harriman, former mutual 'security adminis trator and onetime holder' of otherj . . . . eaerai government posts. However, Rep.- Franklin D Kooseveit jr. claims strong up state strength and hopes to swing the big bloc of New York City delegates to his side. He says he will slug it out with Harriman forces on the floor of the convention, to be held Tues day : and Wednesday at the 165th Regiment Armory.; On a television program, Roose velt asserted he has "an excellent chance" to be the j Democratic nominee for governor 'and added, "I think I have a darn good chance of beating any Republican. Also in the r gubernatorial pic ture, although apparently unwill ingly, is Robert F. Wagner. Wag ner has said tie intends to serve out his full time as mayor of New York City but should the con vention become deadlocked he may emerge as a compromise candidate.

The McNary powerhouse is on i the Oregon side, two miles from i the town of Umatilla. The project; originally was known as" Umatilla i Dam, but its name was changed ; to honor the late Charles L.

Grand Coulee had three' such ceremonies, with former President Franklin Roose velt dedicating' the dam, and for mer President Truman officiating when the Coulee reservoir and irt ligation works were opened on separate occasions. - ! Truman also dedicated 109 mil lion dollar Hungry Horse Dam on Montana's Flathead River, a Co lumbia River tributary, in 1952. It was in the heat of the last presi dential campaign, and Truman led off with a blast at Eisenhower on the power issue. j ' - I V Congratulations L lit Robinson . -. - , - -- District Manager, Business Men's Assurance Co., 2685 E.
