MAY REGULATE CHEAP SHOWS
Corporation Counsel Hands Decision
to the Commissioners.

am of the opinion that the Commits
sioners should claim the power to pass a
police regulation making it unlawful for
the proprietor or manager of a scent
theater 20 permit crowds TO gather. so as
10 constitute a nuisance, or to render
egress or ingress TO nearby business
places or dwellings impossible or difficult,
or TO seriously obstruet the passage Of
the public" says Corporation Counsel
Thomas
The decision is made on the report from
the police department in reference TO the
crowds collecting in front OF the 5-cent
theaters.
Numerous complaints have been made
against the shows and the crowds con-
gregating about them by residents and
property owners.
Capt. " H. Matthews, of the Fifth
precinct, called the attention of Maj
sylvester to the state of affairs, that on
the southeast corner Of East Capitol and
Ninth streets there is a new scent thea-
ter, in q strictly residential section. On
the north side OF East Capitol street
from Eighth to Tenth streets. there are
seventeen residents, of whom six object
and eleven do not On the south side of
East Capitol street there are twenty-one
residents. Of whom six object and fifteen
do not. On the east side of Ninth street
there are nine residents. of whom four
object and five do not On the west side
of Ninth street three residents object and
three do not object.
In view Of this. the corporation counsel
is of the opinion that 'the Commissioners
have a right TO make the consent of a
certain proportion Of the property owners
and residents q prerequisite to the issu-
ance OF the license for so-called cheap
shows in the residential sections"

Hearing on the bill recently submitted
by the Commissioners to Congress. regu-
lating the awarding of contracts for Dis
trict government work to bidders, who
do not observe the eight-hour law, was
given a delegation from the Board Of
Trade. Chamber Of Commerce, and Lum-
ber Exchange before the Commissioners
yesterday.
In the delegation were ". T. Galliher,
Thomas w. Smith. and Lee L. Herren.
They sought information as to the scope
and purpose of the bill forwarded TO
Congress by the Commissioners. which
gives the Commissioners power to award
contracts to persons employing labor
eight hours day and for furnishing ma
terial used in the erection of buildings.
The Proposed Measure.
AS drafted by P ]. Ryan. of the Cen
tral Labor Union. the bin reads:
Whenever a proposal Is submitted for
materials 10 be furnished or for work to
be done for the District in connection
with the erection Of any building Of the
District and II be shown to the Commits
sioners by timely objection before the
acceptance of any proposal, that the low
est bidder requires the service Of any
laborer or mechanic on such work or ma
teTials exceeding eight hours a day, ex-
cept in cases OF extraordinary emer-
gency, the Commissioners Of the District
are authorized to reject the proposal OF
any such bidder and 10 accept any higher
proposal which does not require the serv-
ice of any laborer or mechanic for more
than eight hours on any calendar day, or
TO reject all proposals"
Commissioner West, who had charge Of
the proposed legislation, explained that
Washington firm, which was compelled
10 observe the eight-hour law. had lost
a contract for furnishing certain ma
terial which could have been manufac-
tured here because it was not the lowest
bidder the successful competitor being a
Philadelphia firm which worked its en-
ployes nine hours a day. He stated,
further that the only point involved in
the proposed law was the comforting OF
discretion upon the Commissioners when
cases like this arose in the future 20
take into consideration any difference in
bids which might be based upon the hours
of labor IN local establishments as COM
pared with concerns managed elsewhere
In the opinion of Commissioner West
the Commissioners do not believe persons
engaged in business in Washington should
be handicapped by reason of the fact
that they could not on account of the
eight-hour law underbd outside COM

With this view. the delegation agreed
but suggested that. perhaps. the proposed
law in its practical operation might be
held to have a much broader scope and
that the Commissioners might be able
to restrict it to cases such as had been
mentioned.
Commissioner Macfarland said the mat
ter had been brought 10 his attention. and
he was IN sympathy with the principles
involved in the bill, inasmuch as undsr
present conditions Washington bidders
were practically shut out from competi-
ton. 1t was finally agreed the delegation
should consider the proposed measure and
suggest amendments which would insure
its restriction to the lines laid down by
the Commissioners.
