Mrs. Ada Morrison,
Former Biological
Survey Employe, Dies
.
Held Many Positions
During 42 Years'
Federal Service
Mrs. Ada Byron Morrison. 83, for
mer assistant to the chief of the
Bureau of Biological Survey, De
partment of Agriculture, and veteran
of more than 43 years’ service with
the department, died Saturday after
a long illness at her home, 1503 New
ton street N.W.
Bom at Morganton, N. C., Mrs.
Morrison was the daughter of the
late MK and Mrs. John Wilson Mc
Elrath. She was married in 1877
to Herbert Knowles Morrison, en
tomologist of Cambridge, Mass., who
died in 1886.
Appointed by Cleveland.
After her husband’s death Mrs.
Morrison came to Washington to
take a position in the Division of
Entomology of the then newly or
ganized Department of Agriculture.
She was appointed a clerk in that
division by President Cleveland Oc
tober 1, 1886.
Shortly after Mrs. Morrison came
to the department, its division of
ornithology and mamology, later to
become the Biological Survey, was
formed, and she was transferred to
that division of the bureau.
For a number of years she was
entrusted with confidential matters
concerning the work of the chief of
the bureau, at that time Dr. C. Hart
Merriam She was later assistant
to each of the four chiefs of the
bureau succeeding Dr. Merriam, and
the nature of her work gave her an
intimate knowledge of personnel
problems.
Held Many Positions.
Mrs. Morrison during the long
period of service, was successively
clerk, chief clerk and executive as
sistant. assistant biologist, admin
istrative assistant and assistant to
th> chief of bureau.

Court
_(Continued From First Page.)
of a motor vehicle entering the
State.
In the Watermen case Justice
Black pointed out that the Labor
Act provides that board findings
supported by evidence shall be con
clusive. He said: "It is of para
mount importance that the courts
do not encroach upon this exclusive
power of the board if effect is to
be given the Intention of Congress
to apply an orderly, informed and
specialized procedure to the com
plex, administrative problems aris
ing in the solution of industrial
disputes.
"As it did in setting up other ad
ministrative bodies, Congress has
left questions of law which arise be
fore the board—but not more—ulti
mately to the traditional review of
the judiciary. Not by accident, but
In line with the general policy, Con
gress has deemed it wise to entrust
the finding of facts to these spe
cialized agencies. It is essential
that courts regard this division of
responsibility, which Congress as a
matter of policy has embodied in
the very statute from which the
Court of Appeals derived its juris
diction to act.”
Union's Contentions.
In support of its contention that
the change in union affiliation was
responsible for dismissal of the men,
the Maritime Union cited seveial
facts. These, union officials said,
were remarks made by responsible
officers of the corporation; uncon
tradicted evidence that it was the
unbroken custom of the corporation
to retain part, if not all, of the
crews of laid-up ships for work on
repairs; convincing evidence of dis
crimination against the members of
the two crews in the allotment of
the repair work during the layup.
When the ships finally sailed, it
was with men from the A. F. of
L. affiliate. This, Waterman said,
was due to the fact that when the
time came to staff the ships after
the layup, the corporation was re
quired by its contract to hire mem
bers of the International Seamen’s
Union.
In arguing against the reinstate
ment of the men. Waterman had
said that the cost of paying them for
the time lost would run up to $200,
000.
Right to Employment.
In his decision. Justice Black said
that if the board shows sufficient
support for its findings that the sea
men had a continuing right to their
employment that the Circuit Court
of Appeals was required to enforce
the order. He added that from the
evidence “it is glaringly apparent’’
that this condition existed.
"In the words of the act,” the court
said, “an employer cannot terminate
his employes’ ’tenure of employment
or any term or condition of employ
ment’ because of union activity or
affiliation. These words are not lim
ited so as to outlaw discrimination
only Yher® there is in existence a
formal contract or relation of em
ployment between employer and em
ploye. They embrace as well all
elements of the employe relationship
which in fact customarily attend
employment and with respect to
which an employer’s discrimination
may as readily be the means of in
terfering with employes’ right of
self-organization as if these elements
were precise terms of a wirtten con
tract of employment.”
The decision was in line with re
cent rulings of the court, which has
upheld the powers of administrative
agencies in their particular fields.

Guns Booming
Nightly to Defend
Capitol
They've Umbered up the artillery
to defend the Capitol against an
aerial attack.
Capitol poUce are manning the
defenses and every night at dusk
they can be seen, peering with wor
ried eyes into the sky. Then comes
the boom of big guns as the at
tackers swoop down.
The attackers are starlings.
"They’ve chased the birds away
from downtown,” explained a lieu
tenant of the defense force, “and
they are coming to roost here.”
The police are using shotguns,
loaded with blank shells. They
wait until the birds settle on the
lower ledges of the Capitol, then
blast away. The starUngs rise in
great clouds. A short time later
they settle down once more and the
police guns boom again.
Finally the starUngs get dis
couraged and fly off elsewhere.
