Visit Commissioner Kutz.

The committee that waited on Com
missioner Kutz this morning to urge
representation on the board for or
ganized labor was headed by E. NJ.
Dawson, president. and the members
Of the executive council of Local 50,
Luther C. Steward, president of the
National Federation Of Federal EN-
ployes, and others.
Commissioner Kutz declared him
self as being uneQuivocally in favor
Of two principles--the right of work
ers to organize and collective bar
gaining.
He said he held no brief for either
organization, but that the big major
ity of District employees, whose pay
would be regulated by q wage board,
are members of the City Employees
1t developed that the Commission
ers have in mind for appointment as
the labor representative an Smploye
who. Is a member Of both organiza-
tions.
President Dawson of Local 50 de-
clared il this were true his orRani-
cation Immediately would take steps
to expel the member for belonging to
an OUTLAW organization.

Each of Two Employees Or
ganizations Seeks Rep
resentative.

Labor organizations in the District
government service are at war be-
tween themselves over the appoint
ment by the Commissioners OF a rep
resentative Of the workmen to the
proposed wage board. Today their
fight was carried to Engineer Com
missioner Kutz.
The proposed board will consist of
three members. of which one is to be
a representative Of the employees. It's
function will be to advise the Com
missioners in adjusting the pay of
employees who are not carried on the
annual roll.
The City Employees Association,
which numbers about 1000 men, but
Is not afflliated with organized labor.
wants representation on the board.
So does Local No. 80, the District
branch of the Federal Employees
Union, which is affiliated with the
American Federation OF Labor. This
organization has about 100 men whose
pay would be subject to adjustment
by a wage board.
