AWARDING OF CONTRACTS
WILL BE INVESTIGATED
Numerous Protests Cause Committee on Expenditures

Members of the Committee on Expen-
ditures in the Treasury Department Of
the House Of Representatives are making
no secret of ,the fact that 1t is the in
tention of the committee to call before
It, when the next session Of Congress
convenes, members OF the official COM
mittee which oversees the purchase of
supplies for the various government de-
partments. They assert that the COM
mittee is accommodating evidence which
tends to show that there Is in force a
system OF obtaining supplies for the gov
ernment which not only works a hard
ship on competing merchants and firms,
but which is costing the government an
unnecessary amount of money.
Following close on testimony delivered
before the committee by a leader IN fire
extinguishers to show that the awarding
of contracts for this commodity is a slip
shod and apparently unfair process, came
yesterday statements from Bertram Kell-
man. a soap dealer, who alleged that,
through a manipulation of contracts,
firm represented by him had met with
gross partiality in the matter of sup
plying the various departments with soap
and disinfectants.
Mr.. Kellman told the committee that
he had submitted to the general supply
committee bids for large quantities of
disinfectant to be used in the govern
ment buildings of Washington. He stated
that notwithstanding the fact that his
bid was between $500 and 800 lower
than that of his competitors, he received

also that he had submitted bid on

committee had given the award to a COM

the manner in which the public supply

instances the committee had discovered

that a large part of the time 1t was nee

To Limit Hours of Labor.

The community will find itself in &C
cord with the Central Labor Unions
bill to restrict the public service cor
porations of the District in respect TO
the hours of labor which they shall re-
quire of their employees. if the alleged
abuses really are being practiced. If it
be true that some corporations require
their men to work eighteen and twenty
hours day, some legal steps should be
taken to protect the employees. National
legislation has been enacted which has
had the effect of almost entirely de-
stroying this abuse of human labor on
the part of the interstate carriers. The
hours of labor which a railroad may
require from its operatives are now re-
stricted to the reasonable limits of what
should be expected from them.
If, through lack of such law in the
District, any corporation has taken ad-
vantage of the fact to abuse its men by
working them eighteen and twenty
hours day, it is time that the law
should be put upon the books The
public may not always be in sympathy
with the labor unions in seeking to cut
down the length of the working day,
but it doubtless will be fully in SYM
pathy with the organization in this in
stance.

At Last.

If ever a movement in the right direc-
ton was started by Congress, it was the
introduction last Tuesday, by Repre-
sentative Norris, of Nebraska, of a
resolution requesting President Taft 20
ask the governors of the different States
to send two representatives each to a
congress of delegates, to be held in the
Capitol, for the purpose of forming a
uniform law of marriage and divorce, to
be submitted to the various legislatures.
This was followed yesterday by the in
PRODUCTION of a similar resolution by
Representative Howard, of Georgia.
The Federal government is to defray
all the expenses of the conference, and
that is as it should be, for, undoubtedly.
the time has arrived when the Federal
government must do something to check
a growing evil, which ultimately can
but lead to national decay.
What all the bar associations and
other civic and religious organizations
have attempted without avail may now
be accomplished by. the assistance of the
Federal government, provided that Con-
gress will take action. We do not be-
lieve that there is single member of
either House who would oppose the step
to cleanse the national Augean stables,
especially as the rights of the States
are fully safeguarded. 1t is not an
amendment to the Constitution, nor a
Federal law which is sought, but State
legislation upon uniform basis. And
it cannot be denied that the children
born to parents in California or Wy
oming are entitled to the same social
protection, assuring their legitimacy and
right of inheritance, as those born in
New York or Massachusetts.
We can learn from experience. After
the new German empire had been es-
tablished, as result of the Franco
Prussian war, the new regime faced con-
ditions exactly like those which con-
front us in regard to 4 uniform code

The Parent Bill.

Next to nonsupport of wife and chill
dren, the failure or neglect to provide
for ones aged and helpless parents is
deserving of punishment. In recognizing
this, the Commissioners have done well,
and their bill to enforce upon adults
who are able to do so the support of
infrm and destitute parents should be-
come law.
In this respect, the American people
may we'll copy the example of the
Chinese, whose care for their parents
amounts to a religion. No law is nee
essary in benighted China to force sons
and daughters to provide for their par
ents. Respect and veneration for an
cestors was and is one of the funda-
mental tenetS of the Chinese religion.
True, honor thy father and thy mother
is one of the cardinal principles of the
Christian religion, but so is the injunc-
ton against adultery. Neither seems to
have sufficiently strong hold upon mod
ern communities to obviate the necessity
for stringent legislation.
1t is always difficult to make a man
moral by force of law, but through its
laws the community can see to it that
its weak members are protected This
is the object of the Commissioners bill
providing a fine and workhouse Sentence
for delinquents in duty to parents.
