CURTIS BAY EMPl OYEES
MUST BUILD HOMES
Necessary for Workmen to Live
Near Place of Work.
NEGOTIATIONS UNDER WAY.
Many Private Dwellings Already Con-
tracted for---Businesa is Hum
ming There.

Negotiations are under way for the
erection by Baltimore builders of more
than one hundred houses at Curtis Bay
TO provide homes for the FIVE thousand
or more men employed at the various
plants in course of erection there or
else completed.
During the construction of the
buildings most of the workmen had
lived in Baltimore city. making the
trip TO and from the plants at much
inconvenience and loss OF time. Des-
pite heroic efforts on the part of the
United Railways, it has been impossi-
Bile to provide the necessary accommo
dations for the workmen during the
rush hours. Many of the workmen
have ben reaching the plants by way
of the Broadway ferry from the city.
Hundreds of the workmen are anx-
ious TO establish their homes near the
places of employment, and with that
end in view several tracts of land at
Curtis Bay have been bought up by
promoters who intend as soon as the
weather conditions permit. to start ex
tensive building operations. When all
of the plants are in full swing in the
early summer they will be the seat OF
much activity and they will require
the services of hundreds of men per
manently That a village of homes
will spring up in that section seems to
be a forgone conclusion.
AT the present time $500 men are
employed on the construction of the
huge plant for the Curtis Bay Chem
ical Company at Stone House Cove.
Wonderful progress has been made on
the buildings, and it is reported in in
dustrial circles that operations will be
started very soon. Besides one mas
sive central building there are being
erected twelve subsidiary structures
of steel and concrete. 1t is said that
the output of the plant will be second
to none in the country.
About 1,1O0 men are employed build
ing tht plant of the Curtis Bay Distil
ling Company, a subsidiary of the Uni
ted States Distillmg Co. Hundreds

are being installed for the making of
alcohol from molasse So scarce is
labor it is reported that carpenters
are being paid $40 week who work
on the plants at Curtis Bay, and that
boys just out of school are being paid
from $40 to S25 per week.
Baltimore and Ohio officials report
that rapid progress is being made on
the new pier under construction in
that section 1t viii cost 81 100000

bor-saving machinery. Much headway
is also being made on the improve

altogether probable that Company NJ
will readily win its group champion

ners indicates that they will also be
easy winners, as Bel Air the other
member of the group, has just started
the game This means that the two
local teams will be in the final compe-
tition. Company A, at Frederick, is the
likely champion of the group which
also contains the companies at Ha-
gerstown and Silver Springs.
Should both the local companies
win in their groups. the two games in
the finals should be splendid sporting

COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENT
IN THE SENATE
Legislative Action Split at the
State House Today.
LOCAL APPLICANTS FOR JOBS.
The Political Plum Tree About to be
Shaken---Legislature Adjourns
Again Till Monday Night.

Committee assignments in the Senate
with the Republicans eontending for
greater representation. and patronage
and places for the boys" in the House
are the two rocks upon which the tide
of legislative action are split at the
State House today
After but brief sessions in both
branches, recess was taken until go
at which time it is hoped that the COM
| mittee assignments in the Senate will
have been Slaughtered out and the or
ganization committee in the House viii
be ready to report.
The organization matter in the SEN
ate was disposed of by the announce
ment of the list of employees i'm that
body. Anne Arundel gets on the first
round of this matter. two. pages and
cloak room keeper. The pages are
Francis Geraci and William Doyle.
while the job of cloak room keeper
goes to Louis Stern.
The proposition of committee as
signments here is complicated by the
demands of the minority floor leader.
Mr.. Zihlman. for more men on the
committees and, to, in a measure,
meet the uproar for good jobs, the
Senate today passed an order increas-
ing the membership of the more inn
portant committees by two in each
case.
While no final assignments 10 COM
mittees has been announced, il is very
generally understood that Senator F.
NJ. Duvall. of Anne Arundel county.
will be chairman of the important
Chesapeake Bay and Tributaries Com
mittee of the Senate
Over in the House the employees
fight is centered about the offer to
keep the number of helpers down to
the number recommended by the Good
now Commission. To do this therl, has
been experienced trouble in getting the
the members to take the trained or ed
ucated and really competent employees
and giving up thereby the places for
, "the boys"
During the committee on organiza-
tion meeting this morning the effort
was made to get the Baltimore city
members to agree to take this class of
employees as part of their allotment
of patronage and permit the county
members to have free rein in getting
the doorkeepers, messengers and sim
liar places for their less polished con
stituents. When the noon adjourn
ment of the committee was taken this
had not been settled.
In the House the first thing after
meeting was a question of personal
privilege raised by Delegate Shartzer,
of Garrett county, who contended thar
he was recorded as voting wrong" on
the Spicher local option bill two years
ago. and his request that the House
pass an order giving him access to the
original copy of this roll call that he
might get certified copies to show his
people back home" that he had been
placed in a false position His order
was adopted.
If the committee assignments in both
| branches can be Strengthened out and
the House employe tangle IS unraveled
this afternoon, there is every indica-
tion that both houses will then adj
journ until Monday night. Otherwise
there will be sessions OF goth branches
