Hc has boon active in YMCA Strike Is Against J. A. Jones Company Ail Around State By Jim Dickinson Approximately 125 A.F. of L. union workers walked off their jobs at Morehead planetarium yesterday morning and spokes-; men for the group said they are striking for hourly wage in creases of 25 and 37 cents. The strikers, employes of the J. A. Jones Construction company of Charlotte, left work at 7:30 and formed picket lines fronting the project grounds along Frank lin street. Strikes in State Officials at the A.F. of L. Labor temple in Durham said the strike is a general one in which skilled and non-skilled union workers are leaving the company's jobs in Charlotte and Greensboro. Other strikes were reported at a Liggett and Myers project m Durham and at Duke university. G. W. Wise, superintendant of the company's local conctruction unit, said the workers had left their jobs but declined to make any comment on the reason for the union action. Sympathy Strikers Striking iron workers, hoisting engineers and cement finishers said their groups are seeking a pay hike, but that other workers including bricklayers and carpent ers are on sympathy strike. Representatives of the latter group said their wages were in creased recently, but also stated they would return to wark only at such time as an agreement is reached between the company and those workers seeking a pay increase. A picketing, iron worker said, "The company offered to pay half the raise we are seeking but we intend to hold out for the full amount." The union is seeking an in crease of 37 and one half cents for steel hoisting engineers who now make $1.25and $1.50 an hour, and an increase of 25 cents an hour for workers in other trades who now make $1.75 an hour. Called a "Surprise" A company supervisor at the project said the strike was "some what of a surprise" to the company executives. Reports yesterday indicated that only unskilled workers who are not members of the union are still on their jobs here and at the Liggett and Myers pro ject in Durham. Union officials said another project at Neuse in Wake county will be affected today unless an agreement- is reached between the company and union. CLAUDE SHOTTS work in New York city, and has worked with boys in summer camps and with the Youth Hos- tel movement. . 1 f ? fin in r linn i mi tin i mil i 8 , . i iX X' : --i i tAMaffiaiBW"''" sss aaaMwieKaMrg Belgian Leary Says Redisricting To Be Completed Today By Chuck Hauser "A redistricting bill to present to the Student Legislature will be completed by tomorrow afternoon," Joe Leary, chairman of the Elections committee, stated yesterday eve ning, following the adjournment of an open meeting of the committee. The group considered the merits of three bills yesterday. The first was introduced in a recent Legis lature meeting by Leary, and was written by members of the Uni versity party. The second was proposed to the Legislature last week by Lindsay Tate. The third was a surprise, being suggested during yesterday afternoon's hearing by Gran Childress. Calls for Six The latest measure calls for six town men s voting districts, while the UP bill provides for four and the Tate bill for nine. The districts for dorm men, i dorm women are substantially the same in all three of the pro posals. The Childress bill calls for the following six districts for town men: (1) Victory Village, Pitts boro road trailer camp; (2) Area west of Pittsboro road and south of West Cameron avenue, but including all residences on both sides of Cameron; (3 Area north of West Cameron, south of' West Franklin and west of Old Fra ternity row (Porthole alley); (4) Area north of West Franklin and west of Columbia road; (5) Area north of West Franklin and east of Columbia road; (6) Area east, of Pittsboro road and Porthole alley and south of East Franklin street. Districts Listed The Tate bill drew up nine dis tricts by doing a little re-arranging and a little cutting-up of the ones named above. The Tate dis trict 3 is composed of the fra ternity houses onWest Cameron, including Little Fraternity court (Kappa Sig, Zeta house, etc.) and both sides of Pittsboro street from Cameron to McCauley. Dis trict 4 is all buildings on both sides of Columbia street between Franklin and McCauley, including Fraternity court (Sigma Chi, Sig ma Nu house, etc.). District 5 is the entire "business section of town, including everything north of the business district, running all the way out West Franklin (taking in both sides of the street) from the post office to Carrboro.

T.ickets for the concert, to be presented in Memorial hall at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, are 75 cents each and are available to all students, whether mem bers of the senior class or not. Dance bids are free, and are a vailable to all seniors and to un derclassmen who show two con cert tickets. "Krupa has been informed of the tastes of the Carolina student body," said Tate. "We've asked him to really knock himself out for the concert, and to play lots of slow, danceable numbers Sat urday night." The dance will be semi-formal in Woollen gym from 8 to 12 o'clock. The senior class will be unable to meet expenses, Tate said, un less all tickets to the concert are sold. Sales are going well, so far, yesterday being the best day. Everyone, particularly seniors, is urged to support the class in their attempt to present to the cam pus an open dance at a low price. "You'll never find another bar gain like this," Tate said. The committee has planned very few decorations for the dance, since they cannot count on complete sale of tickets.
