LABOR SEEKS TWO
ON WAGE BOARD
Protests Commissioners
Naming All FiVe-Wants
Fifth Man s-Umpire.

Organized labor last night. through
its Central Labor Union. registered
its protest against the proposed ac-
ton of the District Commissioners
TO appoint all the members of the new
wage board that will have to do with
the adjustment and fixing of the
wage scale of the District municipal
government employees. A resolution
was unanimously adopted instructing
the executive committee to call on
the District Commissioners and reg
lister a demand that the new wage
board be formed upon a basis other
than that planned by the Commits
sioners.
y What Labor Demands.
Labor's demand will seek the ap-
pointment by the Central Labor Union
of two members of the board. two
appointed by the District Commits
sioners and the fifth man. who is to
be the umpire, to be appointed by
the four.
The plan announced to be followed
in the appointments by the Commits
sioners would place the appointive
power entirely in the hands of the
Commissioners. two members to rep
resent the official personnel. two rep
resenting the employees. and the UNI
pire.
Organized labor makes an emphatic
protest to this plan. asserting that
1t will be unfair to labor for the rea-
son that all of the appointments
would be made by the-Commissioners
and labor would have no voice in the
selection or appointments and would
therefore be without representation.
The temper of the delegates attending
the meeting last night indicated that
unless the District Commissioners
heed the demand to be made in this
matter that the legislative committee
will be instructed to take the matter
to Congress for adjustment as they
see it.
This action of the Central Labor
Union was based upon the report of
the special committee appointed last
week to call on the Commissioners
and discuss the plans for the creation
of the new wage board for the Dis
trict municipal employees.
against Dual Organizations.
Resolutions were adopted calling
upon every local union affiliated with
the Central Labor Union to use it's
Influence to discourage dual organ
1zatlonS in the District. 1t was point
ed out that there is an organization
o. District municipal employees that
includes all the crafts IN the munic-
pal service. 1t is contended that
these members of crafts should be
members only of the unions of the
crafts they work at
The metal fathers, a union that
heretofore has not been affiliated with
the Central Labor Union, was ad-
mitted to membership last night and
their five delegates took the oath Of
allegiance
