Lengthy debate resulted, during which it was charged the bill was aimed .at striking miners in the Alabama coal fields. Senator Charles Teasey of Mont gonery. himself a coal operator, opposed the bill as class legislation, and said this is the wrong time to even consider such Legislation It was aimed, he said, at certain class in the Birmingham district and would serve no good purpose.

MERCHANT Marine COST
SHIFTED TO TAXPAYERS

BY the terms of a new contract for
the management of government
owned merchant vessels, private ship
companies are assured profit and
the United States shipping board as
sumes all risk, according to Reuben A.
Lewis, in the Anrxalist, financial
paper.
It is stated that, the terms of the
contract are not generally known to
the public. The shipping board has
agreed to pay all expenses incurred
by the ships on their voyages and to
give to the ship companies per cent
of the gross freight money on outward
voyages and 2k per cent on the in
coming trips. This replaces the old
contract which provided for the pay
ment of a small fixed sum per dead
weight ton and a division of profits,
provided there were any.
The writer says it is doubtful If the
agreement is one over which the tax
payers, will enthuse. The companies
to which the government board con-
sign the ships for operation do not
risk a. single in the management
and operation of property worth
more tton $1,000, 100000. The agree
ment dates back to March 1 last and
it is predicted tat the incomes of the
steamship companies for this year
will be "far in excess of what it other
wise would have BEEN"
There seems to be little doubt but
the unheralded agreement-which
few tax payers know is in existence
will prove a severe drain upon the
treasury Thus far the shipping board
has not made any demands upon the
exchequer, bl 1t must be recalled that
the million sof dollars which it de-
rives from the sale of ships may be
applied to meet any deficits incurred
through OPERATION

WASHINGTON, Nov 1S.-Organized
federal employees in the nations cap
1tal have taken the unusual position
that they are part Of the public and
should be heard before wages are set
by the District of Columbia minimum
wage board.
A rate of $14.50 a week for laun-
dry workers (outside of the govern
ment employes) had been recon-
mended, and the federal employees
presented a strong protest against
this insufficient rate. They insist that
they are. the largest part of the public
in the District of Columbia and the
largest body Of consumers in the dis
trict.
1T is of vital Importance to us, as
citizens and members Of the commun-
ity," they say, that proper standards
Of living be maintained and hence
that every worker receive at least a
decent living wage.
I'VE believe in single wage stand
ard regardless of sex or color. We pro-
test against differences in wage rates,
rates as between white and colored
workers, since the lower that may be
imposed on one color would be en-
ployed as an argument to decrease
the minimum paid to the other"

Honest Union Members Arc Pleased
That New York CRATER Is Exposed

Of Local No. 14949 of the House.
Wreckers u1ion, which is affiliated
with the American Federation Of
Labor, is the source of the evidence of
the graft that has been practiced upon
the members of this union.
After the Building Trades Coun-
Gil was >rs;ni:ed last year, Zarauka
said, 81 Wa told that, our men would
be welcomed into the new body, but
not as a union. They could come in
as individuals and would be given
working cards or permits. There
would be an initiation fee of $50 for
each man, which would entitle him
to the working card. In addition, as
the wage scale Of the men had been
raised to 81 an hour, I was told it
would be necessary for every man to
contribute a further sum of SO g.
week out of his wages.
How Money was Obtained.
'The money was collected regular
ly,'' said Zaranka, lin this way. On
every job the men would elect q chair
man, who would supervise the job like
sort of foreman. This chairman
would keep tab on every man and
would collect the $40 from every
worker on pay day. Then a collector
would be sent around to- the various
jobs, to whom the chairman would
give the total of his collections, get
ting a receipt for it. What the money
was for don't know. But I do know
that anybody who asked announcement
questions speedily found himself in a
hospital or nursing a broken head or
nose at home. Such incidents of course
came under the head of "accidents :"
Impartial as to the source of his
loot, Brindell. it was shown. in addi-
ton to raking in booty. from his

the employers and contractors, as the
following indicates:

tions Of the dictatorship Of Robert
p. Brinlell, president Of the Building
Trades Council, which the joint leg.

of Samuel Untermyer. attorney, has
brought to light. So startling are the
charges of corruption brought against
Brindell and his agent that the unions
(which have been forced to play the
goat to Brindell's hold-up policy, are
registering their approval of this in
Festigation, which is as damning to

the employers and building contrac-
tors.
