Move To Dust Out Of State Contractors
A statewide bid to drive out-of-state nonunion labor on Maryland road projects began in Cumberland with AFL locals 37-B and 616 signing a road pact. The agreement aims for uniform conditions, a 54 hour week, time and a half after 40 hours, and wage adjustments to counter southern labor underbids. Negotiations expand to Carpenters 1024 and Teamsters 453 as other crafts weigh deeper cuts to stay competitive.

Capital Ousts Starlings With Record Of Distress Cries
Frederick residents seek new ways to curb summer starling flocks. In Washington a test used a distress cry record to scare roosting starlings and deter arrivals. The Civil Aeronautics Administration and partners staged the experiment at the National Archives, with 10 young starlings captured to test the method. Observers noted panic and nonreturn by birds in treated areas, while other parts remained populated. If successful, the scare could be used to clear hangars and extend to pigeons and swallows.
