The market for agricultural products in Vienna, in short, Commodity Exchange, is a in 1869 founded produce exchange, without time bargain. It is located since 1890 in a 1887-1890 specifically created building in Tabor street in Vienna's Leopoldstadt.
During National Socialism in Austria (1938-1945) as well as because of market organisation act, from 1949 to 1994 the stock market possessed no power. With Austria's EU accession in 1995 the stock market was reactivated and resumed the function of the finding of the target price (Richtpreisfindung) for the Austrian market by the major market participants. Stock exchange listings are taking place on a weekly basis.
In addition, the Vienna Commodity Exchange has a tribunal that is responsible for all members and trading partners in the event of disputes.
History
Since 1812, the grain trade is a free business in Austria, therefore, therefore, corn a commodity. With the development of trade in 1853 arose the Viennese fruit and flour stock exchange. This was for the moment subordinated under the Vienna Magistrate and was only on 24 June 1869 independent. This was the birth year of the Vienna Commodity Exchange. Whose trade for the moment took place in the café Commodity Exchanges in Vienna's Leopoldstadt (2nd district). With the increase of trading volume and the trading participants, the construction of a separate stock exchange building was decided. The contract for this got in 1887 the architect Karl König, who built the Stock Exchange building in Tabor street, near the café in the Neo-Renaissance style. The completion and the start of trading took place on 23 August, 1890. In Latin letters the motto of the stock market was walled in: in usum negotiatorum cuiuscumque Nationis ac linguae ("the merchants of all nations and all languages dedicated").
Until the First World War, the Stock Exchange was the most important market for agricultural products of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. After its demise, and the years of inflation, stock exchange trading experienced a large decline, of which the stock market not recovered until the mid-20s.
In 1938, after the annexation of Austria to Germany, the stock market was closed. During the Second World War, the stock market was hit in air raids on Vienna, the trading hall burned down . After the war was began with the rebuilding. On 10 November 1948 followed the reconstitution of the Stock Exchange Chamber and on Wednesday, the 29th July 1949, the first stock exchange meeting was held in Taborstraße in the repaired stock exchange building. The stock market was now, however, because of market regulation law determining the fixing of prices by the social partnership largely meaningless. It merely served as a weekly meeting place of key market participants. From the 1980s on, the great hall was used by the Odeon Theatre.
With the accession of Austria to the EU market in 1995, the Market Organsation Act had to be abrogated. The Commodity Exchange sat together again and took up again its function as place of target price finding of the key market participants.
The Vienna Commodity Exchange was decisively involved in the making of a unified Italian-Austrian-German model agreement for the grain trade.
Stock exchange dealing
Merchandises
Actual trading does not take place at the Produce Exchange. However, there are business transactions from a certain minium dimension for the purpose of target price finding of the traded commodities - depending on traded good, differently high, as a rule, not less than 100 tons - recorded. The exchange traffic includes substantially all in the region grown agricultural raw materials and semi-finished products which are used for human and animal consumption. Excluded from the exchange traffic are forestry products, spices, herbs as well as raw materials serving for the production of fabrics and spun yarns, such as jute. Also excluded are almost all "colonial goods", ie sugar, coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa, and the like.
Trade practices
As binding basis of the in business occurring terms, business conditions, deadlines, settlement procedures and trade practices are serving the practices of the stock exchange for agricultural products Vienna. They should prevent misunderstandings and misinterpretations and thus facilitate domestic and international trade.
In addition, special provisions specify what requirements quality or brand denominations must fulfill - such as, "quality" or "Premium Wheat".
Quotation
The quotations occure on the basis of actual having taken place trade, hence, without contracts such as options and futures, which are not traded in Vienna, once a week on Wednesday at 13.30 clock. For assessment used are only large trades from a certain minimum quantity at wholesale price. Fixed are the prices ultimately by the Price Determination Commission, which is under the supervision of the Exchange Commissioner. The publication of the prices takes place in the official list.
Organs
Exchange Chamber
The management of the stock exchange for agricultural products behooves the chamber of the market for agricultural products in Vienna. This is composed of 30 stock exchange councilors called members, who are elected or appointed for a term of four years. They are appointed in equal numbers by the Ministry of Agriculture from by the Austrian Chambers of Agriculture proposed persons. More, in all, three members are appointed by the Chambers of Agriculture of Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland. The remaining 17 members are elected by the stock exchange members six of which must be coming from the milling industry or the milling craft, one from the flour processing industry or sector, six from the grain trade. The other four may belong to other professional groups participating in the exchange market. A further condition on the 30 trading councils is, that at least half of them reside in Vienna.
Out of the stock exchange councils, as well for four years are elected a governing body, the executive of the stock exchange plus the chairman of the stock exchange with his three vice-presidents and the treasurer.
As supervising organ acts the commissioner of the stock exchange with his two deputies, which are provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Economy.
Also appointed by the stock exchange chamber are the four-member panel of arbitrators and the three-member college of experts.

Arbitration
Members of the Exchange are legally bound by the trade practices. These fixe also the recognition of the Arbitration Court of the Vienna Stock Exchange for agricultural products as competent tribunal in the event of disputes or disagreements. This is not bound by procedural requirements of the ordinary courts, and therefore against judgments of the tribunal also can not be appealed. The procedures usually last less than a month and the sayings of the tribunal on the Vienna Stock Exchange are, in contrast to many other European stock exchanges, immediately enforceable executory titles.

The young arbitrators' groups from the ICC International Court of Arbitration (ICC Young Arbitrators Forum), the Comité Français de l'Arbitrage (CFA-40) and the Paris Very Young Arbitration Practitioners held a joint networking event on the evening of the 12 April 2018 to conclude Paris Arbitration Week.
I have 2 stories about this famous house. This company is now out of service and this firehouse is now being used as a museum for Black firemen
The first story I have is from my old Lt. Bill Ryan that he told me. It seemed for several days when ever the men sat down for dinner they would get a fire call and always a false alarm at that. But when they returned the food would be gone. This happen over and over. So he went to a veterinarian he knew and got some Croton oil that they used on horses as a laxative. He purchased a roast beef at a meat market and he cook it at the firehouse. He then poured the Croton oil on the beef and he said as they sat down for dinner the bell went off and when they returned the beef was gone. But he said they never had that problem again
The second story is about that famous video that was shown all over the world. I got my information from a fireman I knew who was there at the party.
I must first tell you I know Captain Ezra McCann. I knew him as a fireman and we talked often about the fire department. I liked the man, he was very big and always had a great smile and fun to talk to. When he became the Captain of Engine 100, I was told he ask all the white firemen to put in for a transfer because he wanted the house to be all black. The video you saw was taken by a black fire girl out of a locker of a white fireman and given to Captain McCann.
I will say taking a video of this party was not a very good idea, kind of stupid I would have to say.
The men on duty had a retirement party for a man on there company and had it at the firehouse. I have been to parties like these over time and they were not uncommon. The video shows the men drinking and having beer in a firehouse was not on the list of things to have.
But I was told that the men working that day did not drink any of the beer just the many men who came in on there days off to say good bye to the man of the hour. Companies from all over the district came over to say there good byes as well. Chiefs and officiers alike. White firemen and black firemen were all there. At one time someone said that Rap was not music and anyone could do it. A black firemen wrote down the lyrics to a Rap song and challenged a white firemen to sing it. We all saw what he did and all who were at that party both black and white had a good laugh. I point out no firemen on duty that day were drinking and it all happen a year or more before you saw the video. Captain McCann was all to happy to make a race issue out of it. The city tried to fire the men at that party, just the white men no charges were against the black firemen or officiers who attained the party. They fired the men, but a year or more later a arbitrator reinstated the men and the city still did not give back there jobs, It went to court and a judge ruled against the city and the men got back there jobs with back pay. What happen to that black girl who stole the video I don't know but most likely she got promoted.

On the prison world of Zartak, darkness has fallen on arbitrators and inmates alike. The Night Lords have come, and with them the shadow of fear and pain. But they are not the only ones with an interest in Zartak. From the void, running on silent, another fleet emerges. Its warriors are grey-clad and white-faced, and their eyes are as black as the Outer Dark – the savage Carcharodon Astra. As these two packs of ancient, merciless predators stalk the shadows of the prison colony, both seeking a single young inmate with unnatural talents, the corridors run red, and both factions will have to fight tooth and claw to leave Zartak alive.
The fifth workshop of the Asia edition of the ICC Advanced Arbitration Academy took place in Singapore on 28 June 2019.
The pub closed due to an unsustainable rent review. After three years' through courts and 'industry expert' hands and arbitration rent went up in 2008 from £54K to £65K against the rise to £96K that S&NPC were after, saying they believed the pub 'could comfortably afford that increase' if it were managed by 'a reasonably competent operator'. The wisdom of the Arbitrator led to ONLY a 20% increase as the world went into financial meltdown and left us owing the pubco an immediately payable bill for back rent and legal fees of £165K.
This whole shambles is typical of what is rolling out against pubs all over the UK as Pub Companies raise rents and beer prices so they can pay off gargantuan debts they raised against their 'assets and future income' (£billions) in acts act of Private Equity greed identical to banks' disgraceful behaviour. Here's CAMRA's video about the big pubcos and the beer tie which leads to pub closures all over the UK: bit.ly/RWoBQu

Biden faces a looming economic disaster that he can actually stop
Rail carriers estimate a strike could cost $2 billion a day.
The Biden White House keeps getting punched in the face on the economy.
First came the inflation-plagued recovery from Covid, then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its energy price hikes. Now the administration is racing the clock to avoid a crippling freight railroad worker strike that could make prices for consumer goods skyrocket, threaten the basic necessities of life — food, water, power — and possibly push the entire U.S. economy into recession just as the midterm elections arrive.
The rail strike, which could begin as soon as 12:01 a.m. Friday, is the only one of these economic threats that President Joe Biden actually has the power to stop — bringing extreme urgency to White House efforts to seal a deal between the nation’s freight carriers and 13 of its unions. If Biden succeeds, he’ll be able to claim a much-needed win for U.S. consumers. If he fails, Americans will be facing shuttered railroads unable to deliver food to grocery stores, feed to animals, chlorine for drinking water or coal for power plants immediately before the high-volume harvest and holiday seasons.
Rail carriers estimate that a work stoppage could cost the U.S. economy more than $2 billion a day — and do so just weeks before voters are slated to head to the polls to render a judgment on how Biden and Democrats in Congress are performing.
“I cannot imagine a larger and more rapid hit to supply chains than a rail strike,” said Jason Furman, a Harvard economics professor and former top adviser in President Barack Obama’s White House. “It would be faster and more immediate than any of the supply chain problems we’ve seen in the last year and a half and a large majority of Americans would notice it, whether it’s delays in packages arriving, higher prices, more traffic and the like. It would be about as big, rapid and negative as you can get.”
The unions and the freight companies met Wednesday at the Labor Department’s headquarters in Washington at the behest of Secretary Marty Walsh, who is one of the Cabinet members stepping up involvement this week.
Engineers and conductors, needed to drive the trains, have rejected a compromise deal crafted by a Presidential Emergency Board of Biden-appointed arbitrators without changes to work rules including attendance policies that penalize workers for going to the doctor. Members of a union representing machinists voted Wednesday to authorize a strike and reject a tentative pact, a sign of how precarious the situation remains.
If even one union decides to strike, the entire rail system could come to a standstill. Even the unions that have reached tentative agreements with the freights would be unlikely to cross a picket line if another union is on strike.
The White House is already contending with uncontrollable forces that threaten to undermine Democrats’ efforts to keep their majority in Congress: Inflation is sticking near four-decade highs and the Federal Reserve is bumping up interest rates to try to cool the economy off and bring prices down. Wall Street suffered one of its worst days of the year on Tuesday with all the major indexes crashing between 4 and 5 percent on a hotter-than-expected inflation report.
“A railroad strike would constitute yet another stagflationary shock to an economy that is struggling with the burden of high inflation, a Federal Reserve lacking policy credibility and growth dynamics that, while outperforming most other countries, are far from guaranteed,” said Mohamed A. El-Erian, president of Queens’ College, Cambridge and chief economic adviser at Allianz.
Raising the stakes: a concurrent labor dispute on the West Coast, where unionized port workers are also in the throes of negotiating an expired contract with the employers that operate some of the largest terminals in the world.
A work stoppage could be particularly damaging for farmers in rural regions that aren’t in close proximity to other modes of transit, especially as they prepare to harvest in the coming weeks.
North Dakota farmer Josh Gackle, who sits on the board of the American Soybean Association, said farmers in his state move as much as 75 percent of their grain by rail.
“Even if there were a work stoppage just for a short amount of time, the ripple effect I think would be pretty damaging,” Gackle said.
With no other means of delivering their goods, millions of tons of crops would be left to rot in elevators or other storage until the work stoppage is resolved.
“You can’t get enough trucks to do it,” Gackle said. “The contingency is just keeping things local until there’s a resolution and the trains start moving again.”
Americans could even feel the effects of a strike at the pump. Roughly 300,000 barrels of crude oil move by rail each day, so any delay in delivery could spike prices.
Most U.S. gasoline is 10 percent ethanol, transported from the midcontinent via rail. Already, its delivery has caused production cuts at some facilities. A strike would make this tenuous situation even worse.
In a sign of how dire the situation is, the private sector has significantly amped up efforts to convince lawmakers to step in. Congress has the ability to intervene in the event a service disruption appears imminent, and has done so in the past.
“A nationwide rail shutdown that could cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars a day and adversely affect millions of Americans,” Business Roundtable CEO Joshua Bolten said. “Bringing national rail operations to a halt would lead to widespread plant shutdowns, supply chain challenges, retail product shortages and lost jobs and productivity — a crisis that would exacerbate the economic downturn.”

Unless otherwise specified on the front of this document, Photographer may deliver, and Client agrees to accept, Images encoded in an industry-standard data format that Photographer may select, at a resolution that Photographer determines will be suitable to the subject matter of each Image and the reproduction technology and uses for which the Image is licensed. It is Client's responsibility to verify that the digital data (including color profile, if provided) are suitable for image
reproduction of the expected quality and color accuracy, and that all necessary steps are taken to ensure correct reproduction. If the data are not deemed suitable, Photographer's sole obligation will be to replace or repair the data, but in no event will Photographer be liable for poor reproduction quality, delays, or consequential damages. Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, Photographer has no obligation to retain or archive any of the Images after they have been delivered to Client. Client is responsible for sending an authorized representative to the assignment or for having an authorized representative review the images remotely during the assignment. If no review is made during the assignment, Client is obligated to accept Photographer's judgment as to the acceptability of the Images.
[2] Rights: All Images and rights relating to them, including copyright and ownership rights in the media in which the Images are stored, remain the sole and exclusive property of Photographer. Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, any grant of rights is limited to a term of one (1) year from the date hereof and to usage in print (conventional non-electronic and non-digital) media in North America.
Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, no image licensed for use on a cover of a publication may be used for promotional or advertising purposes without the express permission of Photographer and the payment of additional fees.
No rights are transferred to Client unless and until Photographer has received payment in full. The parties agree that any usage of any Image without the prior permission of Photographer will be invoiced at three times Photographer's customary fee for such usage. Client agrees to provide Photographer with three copies of each published use of each Image not later than 60 days after the date of first publication of each use. If any Image is being published only in an electronic medium, Client agrees to Provide Photographer with an electronic tearsheet, such as a PDF facsimile or URL of the published use of each such photograph, within fifteen (15) days after the date of first publication of each use. Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, all usage rights are limited to print media, and no digital usages of any kind are permitted. This prohibition includes any rights or privileges that may be claimed under §201(c) of the Copyright Act of 1976 or any similar provision of any applicable law.
Digital files may contain copyright and other information embedded in the header of the image file or elsewhere; removing and/or altering such information is strictly prohibited and constitutes violation of the Copyright Act.
All fees and expenses payable under this agreement are required irrespective of whether Client makes actual use of the Images or the licenses to use them. Unless specifically provided elsewhere in this document, no reprographic, reprint, republication or other secondary reproduction usages may be made, and usage rights are granted only for one-time, English language North American editorial print editions of the publication listed on the front of this document and six month searchable archive use on the website of that publication.
[3] Return and Removal of Images: Client assumes insurer's liability (a) to indemnify Photographer for loss, damage, or misuse of any Images, and (b) to return all Images prepaid and fully insured, safe and undamaged. Unless the right to archive Images has been specifically granted by Photographer on the front of this document, Client agrees to remove and return or destroy all digital copies of all Images. All Images shall be returned, and all digital files created by or on behalf of Client containing any Images shall be delivered to Photographer, deleted or destroyed, within thirty (30) days after the later of: (1) the final licensed use as provided in this document, and (2) if not used, within thirty (30) days after the date of the expiration of the license. Failure to return Images on time will result in loss to Photographer due to his resulting inability to license such Images. Client therefore agrees to pay a holding fee of five dollars and fifty cents ($5.50) per day for each image from the return date until the day on which the Images are actually received by Photographer. Client assumes full liability for its principals, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns (including without limitation independent contractors, messengers, and freelance researchers) for any loss, damage, delay in returning or deleting, failure to return, or misuse of the Images.
[4] Loss or Damage:
Reimbursement for loss or damage of each digital file shall be in the amount of Two Hundred Dollars ($200). Photographer and Client agree that said amount represents the fair and reasonable cost of the time and materials required to replace each item. Client understands that its acceptance of the stipulated value of the Images is a material consideration in Photographer's acceptance of the terms and prices in this agreement.
[5] Photo Credit: All published usages of Images will be accompanied by written credit to Photographer or copyright notice as specified on the reverse side. If no placement of a credit or copyright notice is specified on the reverse side, no credit or notice is required. If a credit is required but not actually provided, Client agrees that the amount of the invoiced fee will be subject to a three-times multiple as reasonable compensation to Photographer for the lost value of the credit line.
[6] Alterations:
Client may make or permit any alterations, including but not limited to additions, subtractions, or adaptations in respect of the Images alone or with any other material, including making digital scans, subject to the provisions as stated in [7] below.
[7] Indemnification: Client will indemnify and defend Photographer against all claims, liability, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of the creation or any use of any Images or arising out of use of or relating to any materials furnished by Client. Unless delivered to Client by Photographer, no model or property release exists, and it is Client's responsibility to obtain the necessary permissions for usages that require any model or property releases not delivered by Photographer. It is Client's sole responsibility to determine whether any model or property releases delivered by Photographer are suitable for Client's purposes. Photographer's liability for all claims shall not exceed in any event the total amount paid under this invoice.
[8] Assumption of Risk: Client assumes full risk of loss or damage to or arising from materials furnished by Client and warrants that said materials are adequately insured against such loss, damage, or liability.
[9] Transfer and Assignment: Client may not assign or transfer this agreement or any rights granted under it. This agreement binds Client and inures to the benefit of Photographer, as well as their respective principals, employees, agents, and affiliates, heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. Client and its principals, employees, agents, and affiliates are jointly and severally liable for the performance of all payments and other obligations hereunder. No amendment or waiver of any terms is binding unless set forth in writing and signed by the parties. However, the invoice may reflect, and Client is bound by, Client's oral authorizations for additional Images, fees and expenses that could not be confirmed in writing because of insufficient time or other practical considerations. This agreement incorporates by reference the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended. It also incorporates by reference those provisions of Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code that do not conflict with any specific provisions of this agreement; to the extent that any provision of this agreement may be in direct, indirect, or partial conflict with any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, the terms of this agreement shall prevail. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties intend that this agreement shall not be governed by or subject to the UCITA of any state. Photographer is an independent contractor and not an employee. If photographer is deemed under any law to be an employee of Client, and if the Images are therefore considered works made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, Client hereby transfers the copyright to all such Images to Photographer. Client agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by Photographer to accomplish, expedite or implement such transfer.
[10] Disputes: Except as provided in [11] below, any dispute regarding this agreement shall, at Photographer's sole discretion, either:
(1) be arbitrated in Bülach (Zurich), 8180, Switzerland, under rules of the American Arbitration Association and the laws of Switzerland, provided, however, that irrespective of any specific provision in the rules of the American Arbitration Association, the parties are not required to use the services of arbitrators participating in the American Arbitration Association or to pay the arbitrators in accordance with the fee schedules specified in those rules.

(3) In the event of a dispute, Client shall pay all court costs, Photographer's reasonable legal fees, and expenses, and legal interest on any award or judgment in favor of Photographer.
[11] Federal Jurisdiction: Client hereby expressly consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts with respect to claims by Photographer under the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, including subsidiary and related claims.
[12] Overtime: In the event a shoot extends beyond eight (8) consecutive hours, Photographer may charge for such excess time of assistants and freelance staff at the rate of 11/2 times their hourly rates.
[13] Reshoots: Client will be charged 100 percent fee and expenses for any reshoot required by Client. For any reshoot required because of any reason outside the control of Client, specifically including but not limited to acts of God, nature, war, terrorism, civil disturbance or the fault of a third party, Photographer will charge no additional fee, and Client will pay all expenses.
If Photographer charges for special contingency insurance and is paid in full for the shoot, Client will not be charged for any expenses covered by insurance. A list of exclusions from such insurance will be provided on request.
[14] Assignment Cancellations and Postponements: Cancellations: Client is responsible for payment of all expenses incurred up to the time of cancellation of the assignment, plus 50 percent of Photographer's fee; however, if notice of cancellation is given less than two (2) business days before the shoot date, Client will be charged 100 percent fee. Postponements: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Client will be charged a 100 percent fee if postponement of the assignment occurs after photographer has departed for location, and 50 percent fee if postponement occurs before departure to location. Fees for cancellations and postponements will apply irrespective of the reasons for them, specifically including but not limited to weather conditions, acts of God, nature, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, and the fault of a third party.

"Acrocorinth (Greek: Ακροκόρινθος), 'Upper Corinth', the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. 'It is the most impressive of the acropoleis of mainland Greece,' in the estimation of George Forrest. Acrocorinth was continuously occupied from archaic times to the early 19th century. Along with Demetrias and Chalcis, the Acrocorinth during the Hellenistic period formed one of the so-called 'Fetters of Greece' – three fortresses garrisoned by the Macedonians to secure their control of the Greek city-states. The city's archaic acropolis, already an easily defensible position due to its geomorphology, was further heavily fortified during the Byzantine Empire as it became the seat of the strategos of the thema of Hellas and later of the Peloponnese. It was defended against the Crusaders for three years by Leo Sgouros.
"Afterwards it became a fortress of the Frankish Principality of Achaea, the Venetians and the Ottoman Turks. With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth's fortress was used as the last line of defence in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry into the Peloponnese peninsula. Three circuit walls formed the man-made defence of the hill. The highest peak on the site was home to a temple to Aphrodite which was converted to a church, and then became a mosque. The American School's Corinth Excavations began excavations on it in 1929. Currently, Acrocorinth is one of the most important medieval castle sites of Greece.
"In a Corinthian myth related in the 2nd century CE to Pausanias, Briareus, one of the Hecatonchires, was the arbitrator in a dispute between Poseidon and Helios, between the sea and the sun: his verdict was that the Isthmus of Corinth belonged to Poseidon and the acropolis of Corinth (Acrocorinth) to Helios."

This image is of an unidentified Washington, D.C. truckers strike, probably in the 1940s.
There are five images that may be related to each other. All have marked on the back “Washington truck strike,” but this notation was probably added later than the image was produced. A sixth was taken by the Washington Daily News.
This image appears to be of the same strike that is portrayed in at least two other photographs on this site. The location is the same, autos are the same and some of the participants are the same. See flic.kr/p/yrDqm7 and flic.kr/p/2iNLwqi
The warehouse picketed seems to be at the intersection of Florida and New York Avenues NE where the Fed Ex building now stands.
Two other images may also be related. They appear to be taken near the same intersection of Florida and New York Avenue NE. The building with the flag on the right of one of these images seems to be the building at Florida Avenue and Eckington Place NE. See flic.kr/p/yb532R and flic.kr/p/yaYQVw.
There were at least four trucking company strikes that took place in the 1940s. A 1941 strike called by Teamsters Local 639, a 1942 wildcat strike against Jacobs Trucking Company and a 1949 strike called by the Teamsters.
There was also a 1945 strike that targeted about a dozen trucking companies and seems the most likely to be portrayed.
The 300 union members who walked off the job October 24, 1945 were seeking raises of up to 12 ½ cents-per-hour for regular drivers and new higher paying classifications of over-the-road drivers and semi-tractor trailer drivers among other demands.
Goods piled up at the city’s rail yards where the Federation of Business Men’s Associations estimated that about 60 percent of more than three million dollars in holiday goods were tied up by December.
The District Trucking Association held firm and refused the demands and the strike dragged on 47-days until December 11th when the companies agreed to arbitration of all issues.
Pressure from the District of Columbia Commissioners concerned about commerce during the holiday season helped convince the Trucking Association, which had earlier refused to arbitrate, to accept the resolution.
A Pennsylvania Railroad spokesperson said when the strike ended that “it would be a week or 10 days, at least, before our yards are sufficiently clear to admit any more cars.”
The affected companies were Associated Transport, Brook Transport, Elliot Motor Lines, Baltimore Transfer, W. T. Cowan, Capitol Motor Lines, Davidson Transfer, Eagle Transfer, Eastern States Trucking, Kane Transfer, Universal Cartage and Liberty Express.
However, arbitration did not work out well for the Teamsters. On January 7, 1946 arbitrator Hugh Sheridan announced that the union would be granted a 6 ½ cent-per-hour raise instead of the 12 ½ cents sought.
Other union demands for six new classifications for drivers were turned down by the arbitrator. The only significant gain for the workers was improved vacation.
Aubrey Stream, business agent for the union, commented on the wage scale, “I might say…that with our men being granted only $0.89 cents-per-0hour, many may be attracted to quit truck driving for bus driving with Capital Transit Co.”
The unionized bus and streetcar operators were granted $1.14 per-hour wages by an arbitration award the previous week.
The strike was part of a strike wave that swept the nation following World War II that involved millions of workers. However the labor movement failed to consolidate their gains and the backlash resulted in the passage of the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 that crippled labor unions and began their long decline.

"Acrocorinth (Greek: Ακροκόρινθος), 'Upper Corinth', the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. 'It is the most impressive of the acropoleis of mainland Greece,' in the estimation of George Forrest. Acrocorinth was continuously occupied from archaic times to the early 19th century. Along with Demetrias and Chalcis, the Acrocorinth during the Hellenistic period formed one of the so-called 'Fetters of Greece' – three fortresses garrisoned by the Macedonians to secure their control of the Greek city-states. The city's archaic acropolis, already an easily defensible position due to its geomorphology, was further heavily fortified during the Byzantine Empire as it became the seat of the strategos of the thema of Hellas and later of the Peloponnese. It was defended against the Crusaders for three years by Leo Sgouros.
"Afterwards it became a fortress of the Frankish Principality of Achaea, the Venetians and the Ottoman Turks. With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth's fortress was used as the last line of defence in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry into the Peloponnese peninsula. Three circuit walls formed the man-made defence of the hill. The highest peak on the site was home to a temple to Aphrodite which was converted to a church, and then became a mosque. The American School's Corinth Excavations began excavations on it in 1929. Currently, Acrocorinth is one of the most important medieval castle sites of Greece.
"In a Corinthian myth related in the 2nd century CE to Pausanias, Briareus, one of the Hecatonchires, was the arbitrator in a dispute between Poseidon and Helios, between the sea and the sun: his verdict was that the Isthmus of Corinth belonged to Poseidon and the acropolis of Corinth (Acrocorinth) to Helios."

Piano-shaped tombstone of Thomas Giles Heintzman (May 16, 1941 - October 24, 2019) and his wife. Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto, Canada. Fall morning, 2022.
Obituary from The Globe and Mail, October 31, 2019 to November 4, 2019:
THOMAS GILES HEINTZMAN O.C., Q.C., LLD (Hon.) 1941 - 2019 Thomas Giles Heintzman died peacefully at home surrounded by his wife and two sons as morning was breaking on October 24, 2019. Tom will be lovingly remembered by his lifelong dear friend and wife Mary Jane, his sons Tom and Andrew, daughters-in-law Martha McCall and Roz (Evans) Heintzman, his adored grandchildren, Molly, Theodore, Luke and Sloan, and his brother Ralph. He was predeceased by his parents Mary and George Heintzman and his older brother George. Tom grew up in Toronto and attended Upper Canada College. He received his university education at Harvard University, the University of London and Osgoode Hall Law School. He joined McCarthy & McCarthy (now McCarthy Tétrault) in 1967, where he practiced litigation for the next 44 years. He acted as counsel in courts across Canada including numerous appearances before the Supreme Court of Canada. In 2012, Tom retired from McCarthy Tétrault and joined Arbitration Place where he enjoyed a second career as a mediator and arbitrator. Tom believed strongly in the role of the justice system in society, and he spent considerable time giving back to the profession. He was president of both the Ontario Bar Association (1989-1990) and the Canadian Bar Association (1994-1995). He was a bencher of the Law Society of Upper Canada between 2003 and 2011. He was an adjunct professor at Osgoode Hall, University of Toronto and Western law schools. For the past 15 years he was the author of Heintzman & Goldsmith on Canadian Building Contracts, an annual publication, which has been cited in many judicial decisions. In recognition of his advocacy and contributions to the legal profession, Tom received numerous awards and recognitions, including being appointed Queen's Counsel in 1980 and receiving the Ontario Bar Association Award for Excellence in Civil Litigation in 2008 and the Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012. Tom was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1998 and was presented a Doctor of Laws degree by the Law Society of Upper Canada in 2017. With his boundless energy, Tom was also actively involved in community organizations including as a director of the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, Trustee of the Canadian Outward Bound Wilderness School, Chairman of the Upper Canada College Association and Foundation, Governor of Upper Canada College, and President of the Harvard Club of Toronto. He was a founding counsellor of Camp Ooch, where he volunteered for ten summers. Tom had many passions and interests. He was a voracious reader, who loved to discuss books of all topics with anyone who was interested. He was also a lover of music and played many instruments, regaling friends late at night at Bar Association meetings, under the stars by a campfire, or as a dinner party drew to a close. Tom loved the outdoors and was never happier than when walking his paths and tending his property in Hockley Valley amongst his friends, the trees. Tom was a proud and dedicated Canadian, and in particular identified deeply with the francophone history and music of Canada. In the latter part of Tom's life, he became an active member of the First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto, where he explored the big questions of spiritual life. Tom's abiding love for his family was legendary, and he took a constant interest in his children's and grandchildren's lives. He was a perennial presence on the sidelines of sporting matches and in the front row for their musical concerts. Tom had a passion for life and for those around him that was unparalleled and left everyone in his presence changed for the better. Tom was especially grateful for the wonderful medical care he received over the past four years at Sunnybrook, Princess Margaret, and Mount Sinai Hospitals and from the Temmy Latner palliative care team of superb nurses and doctors, far too many extraordinary professionals to name. A Celebration of Tom's Life will be held at Upper Canada College, Laidlaw Hall, on Sunday, November 24, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, you might consider supporting a young person by donating to one of the following charities: The National Youth Orchestra of Canada Dixon Hall Music School Peacebuilders International (Canada) Pathways to Education

The pub closed due to an unsustainable rent review. After three years' through courts and 'industry expert' hands and arbitration rent went up in 2008 from £54K to £65K against the rise to £96K that S&NPC were after, saying they believed the pub 'could comfortably afford that increase' if it were managed by 'a reasonably competent operator'. The wisdom of the Arbitrator led to ONLY a 20% increase as the world went into financial meltdown and left us owing the pubco an immediately payable bill for back rent and legal fees of £165K.
This whole shambles is typical of what is rolling out against pubs all over the UK as Pub Companies raise rents and beer prices so they can pay off gargantuan debts they raised against their 'assets and future income' (£billions) in acts act of Private Equity greed identical to banks' disgraceful behaviour.

Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, no image licensed for use on a cover of a publication may be used for promotional or advertising purposes without the express permission of Photographer and the payment of additional fees.
No rights are transferred to Client unless and until Photographer has received payment in full. The parties agree that any usage of any Image without the prior permission of Photographer will be invoiced at three times Photographer's customary fee for such usage. Client agrees to provide Photographer with three copies of each published use of each Image not later than 60 days after the date of first publication of each use. If any Image is being published only in an electronic medium, Client agrees to Provide Photographer with an electronic tearsheet, such as a PDF facsimile or URL of the published use of each such photograph, within fifteen (15) days after the date of first publication of each use.

This prohibition includes any rights or privileges that may be claimed under §201(c) of the Copyright Act of 1976 or any similar provision of any applicable law.
Digital files may contain copyright and other information embedded in the header of the image file or elsewhere; removing and/or altering such information is strictly prohibited and constitutes violation of the Copyright Act.
All fees and expenses payable under this agreement are required irrespective of whether Client makes actual use of the Images or the licenses to use them. Unless specifically provided elsewhere in this document, no reprographic, reprint, republication or other secondary reproduction usages may be made, and usage rights are granted only for one-time, English language North American editorial print editions of the publication listed on the front of this document and six month searchable archive use on the website of that publication.
[3] Return and Removal of Images: Client assumes insurer's liability (a) to indemnify Photographer for loss, damage, or misuse of any Images, and (b) to return all Images prepaid and fully insured, safe and undamaged. Unless the right to archive Images has been specifically granted by Photographer on the front of this document, Client agrees to remove and return or destroy all digital copies of all Images. All Images shall be returned, and all digital files created by or on behalf of Client containing any Images shall be delivered to Photographer, deleted or destroyed, within thirty (30) days after the later of: (1) the final licensed use as provided in this document, and (2) if not used, within thirty (30) days after the date of the expiration of the license. Failure to return Images on time will result in loss to Photographer due to his resulting inability to license such Images. Client therefore agrees to pay a holding fee of five dollars and fifty cents ($5.50) per day for each image from the return date until the day on which the Images are actually received by Photographer. Client assumes full liability for its principals, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns (including without limitation independent contractors, messengers, and freelance researchers) for any loss, damage, delay in returning or deleting, failure to return, or misuse of the Images.
[4] Loss or Damage:
Reimbursement for loss or damage of each digital file shall be in the amount of Two Hundred Dollars ($200).

[7] Indemnification: Client will indemnify and defend Photographer against all claims, liability, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of the creation or any use of any Images or arising out of use of or relating to any materials furnished by Client. Unless delivered to Client by Photographer, no model or property release exists, and it is Client's responsibility to obtain the necessary permissions for usages that require any model or property releases not delivered by Photographer. It is Client's sole responsibility to determine whether any model or property releases delivered by Photographer are suitable for Client's purposes. Photographer's liability for all claims shall not exceed in any event the total amount paid under this invoice.
[8] Assumption of Risk: Client assumes full risk of loss or damage to or arising from materials furnished by Client and warrants that said materials are adequately insured against such loss, damage, or liability.
[9] Transfer and Assignment: Client may not assign or transfer this agreement or any rights granted under it. This agreement binds Client and inures to the benefit of Photographer, as well as their respective principals, employees, agents, and affiliates, heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. Client and its principals, employees, agents, and affiliates are jointly and severally liable for the performance of all payments and other obligations hereunder. No amendment or waiver of any terms is binding unless set forth in writing and signed by the parties. However, the invoice may reflect, and Client is bound by, Client's oral authorizations for additional Images, fees and expenses that could not be confirmed in writing because of insufficient time or other practical considerations. This agreement incorporates by reference the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended. It also incorporates by reference those provisions of Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code that do not conflict with any specific provisions of this agreement; to the extent that any provision of this agreement may be in direct, indirect, or partial conflict with any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, the terms of this agreement shall prevail. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties intend that this agreement shall not be governed by or subject to the UCITA of any state. Photographer is an independent contractor and not an employee. If photographer is deemed under any law to be an employee of Client, and if the Images are therefore considered works made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, Client hereby transfers the copyright to all such Images to Photographer. Client agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by Photographer to accomplish, expedite or implement such transfer.
[10] Disputes: Except as provided in [11] below, any dispute regarding this agreement shall, at Photographer's sole discretion, either:
(1) be arbitrated in Bülach (Zurich), 8180, Switzerland, under rules of the American Arbitration Association and the laws of Switzerland, provided, however, that irrespective of any specific provision in the rules of the American Arbitration Association, the parties are not required to use the services of arbitrators participating in the American Arbitration Association or to pay the arbitrators in accordance with the fee schedules specified in those rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any dispute involving $5,000 or less may be submitted without arbitration to any court having jurisdiction thereof.
OR
(2) be adjudicated in Bülach (Zurich), 8180, Switzerland under the laws of the United States and/or of Switzerland.
(3) In the event of a dispute, Client shall pay all court costs, Photographer's reasonable legal fees, and expenses, and legal interest on any award or judgment in favor of Photographer.
[11] Federal Jurisdiction: Client hereby expressly consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts with respect to claims by Photographer under the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, including subsidiary and related claims.
[12] Overtime: In the event a shoot extends beyond eight (8) consecutive hours, Photographer may charge for such excess time of assistants and freelance staff at the rate of 11/2 times their hourly rates.
[13] Reshoots: Client will be charged 100 percent fee and expenses for any reshoot required by Client. For any reshoot required because of any reason outside the control of Client, specifically including but not limited to acts of God, nature, war, terrorism, civil disturbance or the fault of a third party, Photographer will charge no additional fee, and Client will pay all expenses.
If Photographer charges for special contingency insurance and is paid in full for the shoot, Client will not be charged for any expenses covered by insurance. A list of exclusions from such insurance will be provided on request.
[14] Assignment Cancellations and Postponements: Cancellations: Client is responsible for payment of all expenses incurred up to the time of cancellation of the assignment, plus 50 percent of Photographer's fee; however, if notice of cancellation is given less than two (2) business days before the shoot date, Client will be charged 100 percent fee. Postponements: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Client will be charged a 100 percent fee if postponement of the assignment occurs after photographer has departed for location, and 50 percent fee if postponement occurs before departure to location. Fees for cancellations and postponements will apply irrespective of the reasons for them, specifically including but not limited to weather conditions, acts of God, nature, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, and the fault of a third party.

DALE, Sir David, of West Lodge, Darlington, bart. died 28 April 1906 (Durham Directory, 1907)
Dale had married into the wealthy Backhouse family. He was the right-hand man of the Pease family and owned Consett Ironworks. He was also involved in the railway and shipbuilding industries. Being a Quaker, he had an interest in peaceably resolving disputes, considering strikes and lock-outs within the iron industry “barbarous, cruel and stupid”. Together with John Kane who is also buried in the West Cemetery in Darlington, he set up the Board of Arbitration and Conciliation for the Manufactured Iron Trade of the North of England, which eventually brought peace within the troubled industry. During the 19th century the arbitration board pioneered in Darlington became an accepted practice in most industries in resolving industrial disputes. He died in 1906.
A portrait of Sir David Dale can be seen in the Darlington Borough Council art collection.

"David Dale (1829-1906),1st Baronet was an English industrialist.
1829 December 11th. Born at Murshidabad, Bengal, the younger son of David Dale, an employee of the East India Company and judge of the city court there, and his wife, Ann Elizabeth, daughter of the Revd George Douglas of Aberdeen.
Dale's great-uncle was David Dale, the Glasgow banker and philanthropist, whose daughter married the socialist Robert Owen and was mother of Robert Dale Owen.
His elder brother, James Douglas (1820–1865), joined the Indian army on the Madras establishment, and became lieutenant-colonel.
Dale's father died on board the Providence on 23 June 1830, during the voyage home with his wife and children. Mrs Dale became a member of the Society of Friends in 1841, and died in 1879.
Dale was educated privately at Edinburgh, Durham, and Stockton. Brought up among Quakers, Dale remained a member of the Society of Friends until the late 1880s.
Dale's adult career began in the office of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, and in 1852, at the age of twenty-three, he was appointed secretary to the Middlesbrough and Guisborough section of the line.
On 27 January 1853 he married a widow, Annie Backhouse Whitwell, née Robson (d. 1886), who already had two children; another son and daughter were born to them.
In 1858 Dale entered into partnership with William Bouch and became lessee of the Shildon Works; the partnership ended in the early 1870s. Henceforth his activities rapidly expanded.
He was concerned with the formation of the Consett Iron Co, of which he was appointed inspector in 1858, subsequently becoming managing director in 1869 and chairman in 1884.
In 1866 he embarked on extensive shipbuilding enterprises in co-operation with the firms of Richardson, Denton, and Duck of Stockton, Denton and Grey of Hartlepool, and T. Richardson and Sons of Hartlepool, who combined together with a view to amalgamation.
Dale became vice-chairman of this ambitious undertaking, but the union was not successful, and the companies reverted shortly afterwards to their former independent positions. Dale retained an interest in the two first-named concerns. He was also managing partner of Pease & Partners Ltd, and chairman of companies working iron ore mines near Bilbao in Spain.
In 1881 he became a director of the North Eastern Railway, having previously served as director of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, and on the formation of the Sunderland Iron Ore Company in 1902 he was appointed chairman.
He was an active member of the Durham Coal Owners' Association and of the Cleveland Mine Owners' Association
1894 Treasurer of the Iron and Steel Institute[1]
1906 April 28th. Died. He died as chairman of the Consett Iron Co and the mining firm Pease and Partners, and as a director of the North Eastern Railway Company.
Dale owes his main distinction to his pioneer application of the principle of arbitration to industrial disputes.

1906 Obituary [3]
Sir DAVID DALE, Bart., Past-President, died at York on April 28, 1906, of heart affection whilst on his way back to West Lodge, Darlington, from a visit to the Continent for the benefit of his health. He was born on December 11, 1829. He came of a family several of whose members have been distinguished in industrial and commercial history, his great-uncle having been David Dale, the well-known Glasgow merchant and banker, who introduced cotton-spinning into Scotland. His father was Judge of the City Court of Moorshedabad in the Province of Bengal, and there he was born. His father having died in 1830, Darlington became the home of his mother. He was educated at Edinburgh, Durham, Stockton, and Darlington.
His business training was obtained by passing through all the departments of the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company. He quickly grasped the requirements of trade, and he showed such conspicuous business aptitude that, when little more than twenty years of age, he was appointed secretary to the Middlesbrough and Guisborough section of the Stockton and Darlington railway system.
He subsequently joined the late Mr. William Bouch in a contract for working and maintaining the locomotive engines and trucks of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. This business was carried on under the designation of the Shildon Works Company, the headquarters of this large undertaking being first at Shildon and later at Darlington. Withdrawing from this contract after some years of successful working, he was appointed the managing director of what had by this time become the Darlington section of the North-Eastern Railway. This position he resigned in 1872 to become the managing partner of Joseph Pease & Partners' extensive colliery firm, and of J. W. Pease & Company's important ironstone mines. When these concerns were converted into a private limited liability company under the designation of Pease & Partners, Limited, he became the vice-chairman, and subsequently the chairman.
In 1858 he was appointed an inspector in the interest of leading creditors of the great ironworks at Consett, then carried on by the Derwent Iron Company. When that concern was formed in 1864 into the Consett Iron Company, Limited, he became a managing director, and subsequently the chairman of the company, which position he held until his death. This led to his also becoming chairman of the Consett Spanish Ore Company, Limited, and, in 1879, of the Orconera Iron Ore Company, Limited, the most important of the companies working iron mines near Bilbao. More recently he was appointed chairman of the Dunderland Iron Ore Company, Limited. In 1881 his connection with the railway interest was renewed by his being appointed a director of the North-Eastern Railway Company. He was at the time of his death chairman of that company's Ways and Works Committee. He was also a director of the Barrow Hematite Steel Company, Limited, and chairman of the Weardale and Shildon Water Works Company, a very large undertaking supplying water to the greater part of the county of Durham. He was an active member of the Durham Coal Owners Association, and of the Cleveland Mine Owners Association, and was chairman of the joint committee of the Cleveland Mine Owners and Miners Associations. He was also chairman of the Durham Coal Trade Conciliation Board, and chairman of the Board of Examinations for the Mining District of South Durham and Cleveland.
Arbitration was still young when it was determined to apply it to the iron trade of the North of England in 1869. The first Board of Arbitration was formed in March 1869, and Sir David (then Mr.) Dale was chosen President. The success of the Northern Board of Arbitration in the iron trade was in a large measure due to the tact, firmness, and discrimination of its president. In recognition of his valuable services to that Board he was publicly presented in 1881 with an address and a portrait of himself, painted by Mr. W. W. Ouless at a cost of 500 guineas, subscribed for by the representatives of every firm connected with the Institution. Sir David's connection with the Board continued as standing "referee" until his death.
He was created a baronet in 1895. Prior to this he had served on several important Royal Commissions, chief amongst which were the Royal Commission on Trade Depression, 1885-86; the Royal Commission on Mining Royalties, 1889-93; and the Royal Commission on Labour, 1891-94, and was chairman of one of the three sections of the last-named Commission. To this arduous inquiry he devoted more than three years of assiduous attention. He was also one of the representatives of Great Britain at the Berlin Labour Conference of 1890. He was an active promoter of conciliation and arbitration in various leading trades throughout the country, and acted very frequently as arbitrator in important industrial disputes.
Sir David was a justice of the peace and a deputy-lieutenant of the county of Durham. He served as Alderman for that county, and in 1888 he was High Sheriff. He received the honorary degree of D.C.L. of Durham University.
Sir David was one of the most zealous advocates of the movement for forming the Iron and Steel Institute in 1869, and acted as hon. treasurer from its inauguration until Isis election as President in 1895. His presidential address embodied a remarkably comprehensive statement of the progress of the iron and steel industries as indicated by the evidence afforded by statistics, and has proved a work of reference of far-reaching value. Portraits and memoirs of Sir David Dale were published in the Engineer (May 4, 1906, p. 443), Engineering (May 4, 1906, p. 589), Iron and Coal Trades Review (May 4, 1906, p. 1483), Ironmonger (May 5, 1906, p. 177), and other technical journals."

New King James Version (NKJV)
The Parable of the Rich Fool
Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?” And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’ “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
