By A.FL News Service.
Washington, D. C.—Spokesmen for Washington newspaper publishers and
printers have agreed to a new contract providing a wage increase of 37 cents
an hour—totaling $13 for a 35-hour week.
The settlement was approved by members of the negotiating committee
of Typographical Union No. 101 and its ratification was assured by leaders
of that organization.
Starting November 12 under the proposed agreement, printers’ scales
will be $77, $82, and $87 per week, depending on the shifts. The increase
amounted to 20 per cent of existing rates.
A total of 600 printers on the four Washington dailies plus the National
Tribune and Labor, weekly newspapers, are affected.
Union President Jesse B. Manbeck said elimination of a mandatory ar-
bitration clause and an improved vacation clause were included in the new
contract.
He predicted the settlement would help break the stalemate in nego-
tiations with the Government Printing Office and commercial printing em-
ployers.
Manbeck said the 1600 Government printers had been offered an increase
of 22 cents an hour, making the rate $1,79, but that-the printers had rejected
the offer.
Commercial printing employers of 500 printers have offered a 34 cents
an hour increase, upping the hourly rate of $1.87. The 500 job printers have
rejected the offer.
Elmer Brown, vice president of the International Typographical Union,
who has been negotiating fop the local with the Graphic Arts Association,
employer organization, is expected to return to Washington for further ne-
gotiations next week, Manbeck said.
The newspaper printers originally sought a $3.20 per hour day scale for
first shift. This was later modified to $2.50 an hour. The present rates are
$1.83, $1.97 and $2.11 per hour. The new scale will be $2.30, $2.34 and $2.49
an hour.

Washington, D. C.—The almost unbelievable climb in living costs in the
United States in the last seven years is thrown into bold relief by a com-
parison of food advertisements published in Washington newspapers in June,
1939, and those appearing November 1, 1946.
Increases as high as 500 and 600 per cent were noted in basic and routine
items on the average American table.
In the field of meat an examination of the advertisements by the same
chain store revealed that rib roast of beef on June 23, 1939, was being sold in
Washington at 25 cents a pound and had soared by November 1, 1946, to 69
cents a pound. I
Chuck roast, which seven years ago sold for from 15 to 17 cents per pound,
is being currently offered at 45 cents.
Leg o’ lamb, which went begging at 27 cents a pound, now draws 55 cents,
if and when it can be had.
Pork roast in the middle of 1939 was being advertised here at 11 cents
a pound. Today it was listed at 63 cents a pound.
Hams, which sold seven years ago at 25 cents a pound, today bring 49
cents.
ants to the above described property be
fixed and determined; that such property
be adjudged’ incapable of partition in
kind; and that a Receiver be appointed to
sell such property at private sale for
cash, and report such sale to this Court
for confirmation; ' "

THOROUGH
ANALYSIS
A careful examination and
properly fitted glasses afford
your eyes real comfort and
give you real satisfaction.
Our examinations are thor-
ough and complete.
Veal cutlets, priced at 33 cents in 1939, today are 69 cents a pound.
Eggs were advertised in 1939 at two dozen for 35 cents. Today a single
dozen sells for between 49 and 75 cents per dozen.
Peas back in 1939, in No. 2 cans, were being advertised two cans for 23
cents. Today they are being offered at from 13 to 29 cents for the same
size can.
Coffee was being advertised in 1939 at two pounds for 35 cents. Today
the same brand is being offered at two pounds for 61 cents.
Tuna fish, which seven years ago sold at two seven-ounce cans for 23
cents, today costs 34 cents per can.
Sliced peaches, which could be purchased in 1939 at two cans for 25
cents, now sell for 25 cents per can.
These are only a few typical examples of the enormous soaring in Ameri-
can living costs within the last seven years. Attention has been called
repeatedly by labor leaders to these steadily increasing living costs as justi-
fication for requests in pay revisions. Speculation plays no part in these
reports. They are taken solely from paid advertisements in daily papers.
Some other articles highly advertised in 1939, but for which no immediate
comparison is found in current food advertisements, are:
Beans and pork, three one-pound cans at 10 cents; strip bacon, 17 cents a
pound; shoulder veal roast, 13 cents a pound; frankfurters, 19 cents a pound;
bologna, 17 cents; fresh cherries, 14 cents a pound; toilet tissue, four rolls
at from 15 to 25 cents.
This is only a comparison of food and other important item costs and
does not take into consideration the accompanying increase in other necessi-
ties, including clothing and home furnishings.
Government agencies reporting on the increased cost of living, and a num-
ber of private indexes, have differed on their conclusions chiefly because
their studies are reported to have been spread over varying periods.
However, it is unanimously conceded by reports of all these surveys that
the cost of living in the United States throughout the war and since has ex-
perienced a tremendous increase. The most recent report of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics puts the shrinkage of the dollar at 31 cents between January,
1941, and last September 15.

On or about the first day of January,
A. D., 1946, plaintiff A. M. Carlson being
in awui possession of the above de-
scribed property when defendants unlaw-
fully entered said property and dispos-
sessed him and withheld from him the
possession thereof;
Plaintiff shows that in addition to be-
ing the owner and holder of the record
title thereto he, the plaintiff, has had
and held peaceable, continuous and ad-
verse possession under title from and
under the State of Texas to the above de-
scribed property for more than three
years prior to the commencement of this
suit and for more than five years and
for more than ten years prior to the
commencement of this suit, and plain-
tiff now pleads the three, five and ten
years statutes of limitation and also
pleads the twenty-five years statute of
limitation, as provided in Articles 5507,
5508, 5509, 5510, 5519 and 5519a of the Re-
vised Statutes of Texas.
Plaintiff shows that he and those
through whom he holds title have had
peaceable and adverse possession of said
lots under title and color of title for
more than three years next preceding
the filing of this suit and plaintiff now
pleads the three years statute of limita-
tion, as provided in Revised Statutes of
Texas, Articles 5507 and 5508:
Plaintiff shows that he and those
through whom he holds title have had
peaceable and continuous and adverse
possession of. the above property, culti-
vating, using, occupying and enjoying the
same and paying taxes thereon annual-
ly as they accrued and claiming the same
under deeds duly registered for more
than five years before the commence-
ment of this suit and plaintiff now pleads
the five years statute of limitation, as
provided in Revised Statutes of Texas,
Article 5509:
Plaintiff shows that he and those
through whom he holds title, have had
peaceable, continuous and adverse pos-
session of the above described property,
occupying, cultivating, using and enjoy-
ing the same for more than ten years
preceding the commencement of this suit
and plaintif now pleads the ten years
statute of limitation, as provided in Re-
vised Statutes of Texas, Article 5510:
And plaintiff says that none of the de-
fendants have at any time for more than
twenty-five years made any claim of
title or in any way disputed the claim
of title of plaintiff who holds and owns
the same and he, therefore, pleads the
twenty-five years statute of limitation,
as provided in Revised Statutes of Tex-
as, Articles 5519 and 5519a:
And plaintiff shows that none of the
above defendants have paid any taxes
on said property at any time during the
period of more than twenty-five years
next preceding the filing of this suit and
have not exercised any dominion over
said property for more than twenty-five
years prior to the commencement of this
suit and that the plaintiff and those
whose estate he owns have openly ex-
ercised dominion over and asserted claim
to the above property and have . paid
taxes thereon, as provided by law and
plaintiff, therefore, pleads the twenty-
five years statute, being Article 5519 and
5519a of the Revised Statutes of Texas.
The common source of title is N. B.
Sligh:
Wherefore, plaintiff prays due process
of law to defendants and that upon trial
of this cause he have judgment for the
title and possession of the above de-
scribed premises and for his damages
and costs of suit, and for such other and
further relief that he may be entitled to
either in law or in equity and in duty
bound will ever pray, etc., as is more
fully set forth in said original petition
