More than this. Under no circum-
stances can a white man or woman
get her pay until the end of the week,
no matter how badly they may need
it and no matter how humbIy they
may plead for it. But the negroes get
their pay at the end of every day.
Of course, this has been going on
only since the American Federation
of Labor began organizing the stock
yards employees six weeks ago.
Before that the packers were quite
content with their imported white
labor from Southeastern Europe,
that, ignorant and friendless, they
then could bully and starve and over
work and underpay as they pleased.
Dennis Lane, president of the Cat
tie Butchers Union, touched on this
in his speech at the organization
meeting held in Columbia Hall, Back
o. the Yards, yesterday afternoon.

"Just to see how alarming the
black peril is, went out to the gates
a few days ago and counted the ne
groes as they went in. There were
only Is negroes in 1000 employees.
If the employers cannot get action
faster than that they are not going
to get very far, are they?"
But the threat of the negroes has
had its effect. There was only about
one-third the number of white work
ers that attended previous meetings
at the meeting yesterday.
Only, of those who were there yes
terday, ninety-nine per cent signed
an application to join the union after
the meeting was over.

GREATER HEBREW
TEMPLE IS URGED
President of Congregation Says
Larger Building Is Needed
for Large Growth.

Notwithstanding the spacious edifice OF
worship 1t now owns in Eighth street
northwest, the Washington Hebrew
Congregation is in need of more room
owing to the increase in numbers.
Every pew in the large temple Is taken.
and there is no room for expansion.
The rapid increase of the congregation
and need of a larger edifice is brough,
to light in the annual report of l. l..
Blout. president of the congregation.
Mr.. Blout urges the need Of building
a larger and more modern temple. He
also calls attention to the extensive i'm
provements made in the Hebrew Genet

Rabbi Abram Stern has signed a con-
tract to serve the congregation for the
remainder of his life at salary of
5000 a year. according to announce
ment made in the annual report of
Jacob Eisenmann. treasurer of the con-
gregation. Mr.. Eisenmann's report also
announces that Rabbi Abram Simon will
continue to serve the congregation for
the next five years at a salary of 81, 900
per annum.
Rabbi Simon, in his annual report.

SIMS WOULD GIVE
L.C. c. MORE POWER
Tennessean at Work on Bill to
Overcome Gripping Decision
of U. S. Supreme Court.

Important legislation to strengthen
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will be proposed in Congress at an
early date. Congressman Sims of Ten
ncssee is working on bill to overcome
a decision Of the Supreme Court some
weeks ago the effect of which was
seriously to cripple the commission.
The decision, which was little noticed
al the time, except by the officials OF
the commission and railroad lawyers
was in a Louisville and Nashville case
and was handed down by Justice
Lamar The essence Of il was that IN
deciding a rate controversy or question
the commission must confine itself to
the record in the particular case De-
fore IL and could not draw on sucn
other information as might be in Its
possession.
Inasmuch as the commission has been
at work for a generation in the particu-
lar business of accommodating inforIna-
tor as to the whole railroad situation
of the information gathered in one
case has distinct bearing on other
cases, il was felt when this decision
was given that ii was no light matter.
The more the attorneys for the COM
mission have studied ii, the more they
have concluded it was a body blow.
The same feeling obtains in Interstate
Commerce Committee circles In tne
House and Senate. Nice legal questions
are raised In connection with it and
with reference to the problem of pow 70
legislate SO as to overcome the decision.
1t is perfectly clear to men like
Chairman Adamson of the House
Committee on Interstate Commerce,
Judge Sims and other men on the
House and Senate Committees on m
terstate Commerce that II the COM
mission is to be of that real useful
ness which Congress contemplates. Il
must not be bound down by any such
technical rule as the Supreme Court
imposed in the case decided by Jus
tice Lamar, but that 1t must be en-
abled to apply to the rate contro-
versies that come before It. ITS vast
general knowledge of rate situations
The legislation Judge Sims will pro-
pose will be intended to enable 1t to
do this. 1t will provide in substance
th2. in deciding the reasonableness
a railroad, the commission may util-
ize any information in its possession.
This instance of need of legislation
TO strengthen the hands of the COM
mission has called attention to the
number Of times since 1t was created
that the commission has been Grip
pied by court decisions.
1t has been a perpetual fight to keep
the authority of the commission up
to the notch where It would be use
teen times, court decisions have
struck hard at the authority of the
commission In turn. Congress has
come to the rescue and backed up the
commission.
In recent years Congress has shown
clearly that there is one body in the
Government which it does not propose
to see shorn of power. This is the
Without much ooubt. the bill Judge
Sims will propose will be enacted.

leave in addition to their twenty days

The arguments advanced by the fire
men is that, under the regulations now
in force, each member of the Fire De,
partment Is allowed one day off in Ave
and therefore when any member takes
his twenty days furlOugh he loses the
four days he would receive were he on

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN
WANTS PRESIDENT
Wilson Has Distributed His
Patronage So Far, But Own
Church Has Claims.

The First Presbyterian Church may
be President Wilson's permanent
church home Underground wires are
now being laid to the White House in
the hope that the President will decide
Macleod presides.
Secretary of State Bryan has been
attending this church since his arrival
in Washington, but. in case the Presi-
dent decides to go there. he would un-
doubtedly shift to another church in
keeping with the unwritten custom that
Cabinet members and the Vice Presi-
dent do not attend the same church as
the President.
President Wilson has attended the
First Presbyterian Church once. Thus
far he has distributed his patronage,
but In the First Presbyterian Church
there is a strong feeling that soon he
will settle down" to a regular church.
Parishioners of DR.. Macleod are do
ing all they can to get Mr.. Wilson to
select the First Presbyterian az his
permanent headquarters. and there is a
strong intimation that he will be in
duced to attend there.
Prominent persons, acquainted with
both DR.. Macleod and President Will
son, are being sought out as the 60
betweens in negotiations to get the
Wilson family's patronage.
Thus far the President has kept the
matter of his church attendance a deep
secret. Each Sunday he has refused to
say where he would go until just be-
fore he was ready to go. He has indi-
Gated a desire to avoid publicity in his
worship.
The subject Of an invitation to Mr..
Wilson to join the First Presbyterian
is likely to come before the church for
action soon. When leading members
have a line" on his feelings in this
respect, it is probably that the whole
church will be called together to take
action.
