WILL APPEAL TO CONG RESS.

Street PAYERS and the Commissioners
Are at Outs.
A grievance OF lCng standing tetween
the Street PAYERS Protective Union, No.
676s. and the District government has
cropped out gain. nd ifno amicable settle
ment OF the differences can be made soon.
1t is very probable that the matter will be
a subject of legislation at the next ses-
sion OF Congress "-zrr
Tie trouble grew out OF a reduction OF
wages from 1925 per day for all kinds of
paving to S1.75. the present rate paid.
The first cut was made reariy two years
ago, when the price was reduced to 50
per day. This was Eot so very bad the
PAYERS say. and they stood it. but wher in
january last the wages were cut to SIS
per day they all quit work.
MIR. William Welsh. president of the
PAYERS Union. last night said that so far
as he could see 10 one was to blame for
the reduction of wages but the District
Commissioners. A nd why they should take
such step he SosIld ret understand. The
work. Ire said, is all paid for by ap-
propriation. and il he was not niisin-
formed the act making the appropriation
at the rate Of 1925 per day The matter
would. however. he brought before the
union ut its meeting tomorrow night and
would then be reported tothe Central Labor
Union. The central body. he said. would
no doubt send a special committee to the
Commissioners. but as a matter of fact
they could not expect any relief from that
quarter.
After giving the Commissioners an op-
portunity to right the wrong they have
done or sanctioned they viii then lay
the matter. with all the facts. relating to
it. before Chairman Babcock. of the House
District Committee.
Since quitting the cover nnient work
last January all the PAYERS have been
working for various contractors in the city.

of wages by the Commissioners. bat con-
