forces of the nation was advocated

that this theory had already been put
into practice in his State.
Governor Simon Bamberger of

BABY DIED BECAUSE
ICE WAS REFUSED
Other Cases of Ruthless Drivers
Cited At Standard Weight
Hearing.

The Government officials in the
District Of Columbia recently com
planned to an ice man that the lump
he was delivering was under weight
and should be weighed.
He threw the ice back into the
wagon, said Go to the devil and
drove on" the official report of George
NJ Roberts, sealer Of weights and
measures in the District.
Another man told Congressman
Ben johnson that his baby died be
cause he was unable to get ice.
THE ice man told him he would
have to agree to take so much ice a
day or he would get none at all" Mr.
johnson told the House District Com
mittee which is holding hearings on
a bill to standardize weights and
measures in the District.
Ice Cost Cent a Pound.
II the bill to standardize weights
and measures is passed all ice will be
weighed as it is delivered During
the recent ice shortage ice was sold
at the rate of 81 per 100 pounds, Mr..
Roberts told the committee.
One case was cited where a man
with a sick baby in the house COM
planned of the smallness Of the lump
of ice. The ice man left some ice, but
said: "In future get your ice from
somebody else" He did not return to
that house afterward.
Fred p. Downing, of the Bureau Of
Markets, told the committee today
that one of the most vicious form OF
profiteering in the District is by use
Of the short weights measure for fruit
and vegetables. He explained how
measures are camouf1aged as full
measures, when, in fact, the consumer
loses two to FIVE quarts on each
bushel.
The bill under consideration would
remedy this condition.
Check on Gasoline.
The bill also provides for checking
up on gasoline stations. Mr.. Johnson
said his car had a seventeen gallon
tan kon it, but that some stations,
according to their methods, had been
able to get twenty gallons Of gaso-
line in the tank.
Another section of the bill pro-
vides that the purchaser of fOodstuffs
may demand and receive a receipt
showing the number of pounds, the
price per pound, and the name and
address of the purchaser. This Will
help the purchaser to determine
whether he is being cheated or not.
The District Committee is heartily
in favor of the weights and meas
ures bill and the pending measure
which was introduced by Chairman
Mapes will probably be reported IA
vorably with but few minor changes.

was that these organizations were
able To benefit themselves through
political pressure such as the Fedora
tion and the local organizations may
bring.
May Appeal To Courts.
Two lines OF action are possible
by the policemen's union, under the
advice of the federation. One would
be to ask the courts to restrain the
Commissioners from insisting on
withdrawal from the federation. as
being in violation of laws. Another
is an appeal to the White House
and to Congress in efforts to change
the action that has been taken.
Upon this point, however, the Com
misSiOncrS State that after careful
consideration" they have reached the
conclusion" that they must take the
necessary steps to assure entire and
complete independence of the Police
Department"
In other words, they have been oVo~
all phases of the matter and are pre-
pared to stand pat. They have con-
ferred not only with the policemen
but with members of Congress and
Government officials generally. There
has been some feeling in Congress
against the policemen's union being
placed in position where its members
might either engage in a strike or
show paTtiality If called upon to sup
press disorders growing out of pos
sible strikes in Washington.
The Commissioners yesterday after
noon conferred with l.. r. DraegeT,
president of the union, and five mem
bers Of the Legislative committee, ..
G. Turner. J. J. Broderick, Spencer
Roberts, Will T. Smith and +. w
Boyle. These same men visited Fed
Grafton Of Labor officials today.
Reasons for organizing.
The members of the Washington
police force who went into the union
did so wholly because they thought
that the best way to obtain increases
in salaries was to affiliate with the
American Fede ration and secure us
strong political and moral support.
After the race riots here the whole
town clamored for better pay for the
policemen, and the Commissioners
went before the House Committee on
the District and asked for this in
crease.
There was lots Of talk about that
committee acting promptly and put
The Washington times., 1919-08-22

ting through legislation giving the
policemen more money. Then the
usual quiet followed, without any
thing being done. The policemen then
asked for and obtained a charter from
the federation.
1t was not until June last, at it's
annual meeting, that the Federation
decided to give charteres to Police
mems Unions. Twenty-three charters
for Policemen's Unions have been
granted in that many cities and the
organizations are spreading.
Very shortly the Federation will
organize the different locals into an
International Policemen's Union.
Federal Interests Here.
The Commissioners view the affilia-
tion of the Union seriously in Wash
ington because of the huge govern
ment interests here, declaring that
Washington policemen must at all
times be in position OF impartial en-
forcement of laws as affecting all
people. and all interests. They en-
phasize this especially in declaring
that authority, as represented by the
police force, must have no connection
with any organization but the con-
stituted agencies of the government"
Better Pay Essential.
Whatever the outcome of the issue
that has been brought forward, there
does not remain anywhere a dispute
as to the miserably small pay of
Washington policemen and the fact
that the remedy lies in the hands of
Congress. Instead of going ahead and
providing for adequate pay that there
may be insured a complete and com
petent police force here at all times,
Congress is paying most attention just
now to the wTangling going on over
the administration of the Police De-
partment.
The issue now brought forward. II
was pointed out today by many per-
sons, does not promise much for in
creasing the membership of the force,
which can be brought about by ade-
quate pay.
Committees of Congress are in po-
sitiOn to aid in the upbuilding of the
force and the COntentment of the men
by at once recommending legislation
that will pay human being enough to
live on when they offer their serv-
ices and possibly their lives to the
District government
