the usual damage to roads and brid-
ges. The lightning blew a hole in
the rear roof of the Henry County

500 RUSS RADICALS
YET TO Be ouSTED
All Except Forty to Be De-
ported by U. S. Now
Out on Bail.

More than 500 Russian radicals re-
main to be deported, it was said today
at the Department Of Labor. All ex-
cept forty OF these are at liberty
on bail, but the others are held in
confinement at Deer Island, Boston.
and Ellis Island. New York. as they
are regarded as too dangerous to be
allowed at liberty even temporarily.
Delay in deporting the Russians was
explained at the department to be due
to a refusal of the Scandinavian coun-
tries to receive the deportees and to
the closing of the frontier between
Finland and Russia.
NEGOTIATIONS between this country
and Esthonia, looking TO the sendlng
of the Russians. home through Es-
thonia, soon are to be resumed, OF
ficials said.
BY an informal arrangement con-
cluded some time ago between the De-
partment of Labor and the Canadian
immigration authorities a few of the
Russian deportees who were willing
to return voluntarily at their own ex-
pense to soviet Russia We're turned
over to the Canadian authorities at
the border. where they were taken
charge of and placed on commercial
finers sailing directly to Germany
There were some fifty of these who
having arrived in Germany. had their
passage expedited through that coun-
try to the Russian border.

HURLEY TO TAKE WAGE
FIGHT BEFORE CONGRESS
D. c. Employees Reflect Him Their
President-Wants IN
vestigation.

The per diem laborers and mechan-
les of the District government de-
clded last night to take their fight
for the navy yard wage scale to Con-
gress.
They gave voice to this intention
when they reelected Joseph H. Hur-
ley to be their president for another
year, despite the warning of the Com
missioners' that Mr.. Hurley would no
longer be dealt with as representative
of the workers.
MIR. Hurley had told the men before
his reelection that in his opinion 1t
would be useless to bargain further
with the Commissioners and that he
was prepared to go to the lawmak-
ing power of the District-which is
Congress-for the wage scale the men
are seeking.
Mr.. Hurley told the men he also
hopes to have Congress authorize an
investigation of the operations of the
various departments of the District
government.
Mr.. Hurley read the letter from the
Commissioners. in which they rejected
the request of the men for the navy
yard scale. In the letter the Commits
sioners recited that they had taken
into consideration the navy yard
scale. the prevailing wages paid by
private employers in the District. the
cost of living and the question Of
whether the city would be able to do
all the work laid down by Congress
if higher wages should be ordered.
Mr.. Hurley ridiculed the letter call
ing it ''fabrication." He said he
would have more respect for the
Commissioners if they had come out
fatty and turned down the petition
without endeavorins to show that an
increase would not be justified.
MIR. Hurley pointed out that even II
District workers got the same daily
wage as men in the navy yard. they
would earn far less in year. be-
cause they cannot work as many days
as the navy ward men. As to outside
wages. Mr.. Hurley asserted that pri-
vate contractors working for the
District are paying higher wages
than the city.
Other officers elected with Mr.. Hur-
ley were: Frank J. Bresnahan. vice
president: A. T. Lewis. business agent:
Jeremiah Mahaney. treasurer; John F.
Gleason. financial secretary; William
J. Smith. assistant financial secretary;
Charles Gerber. recording secretary.
and Walter Byrnes. corresponding
secretary.

WRIT QUESTIONED
BY RENTAL BOARD
Propriety of Issuance of Pro-
hibition Order Queried in
Answer to Petition.

The District rent commission today
questioned the propriety of the 1ssu-
ance of a writ OF prohibition by the
District Court of Appeals in fling it's
answer to the petition of the South
ern Realty Corporation. owners OF
the Southern building. at 18th and H
streets northwest. who are seeking
to restrain the rent board from EN-
Pertaining certain complaints of ten
ants against rentals in the building.
The answer. which was placed
through Henry H. Classic. assistant
attorney general. acting as attorney
for the rent commission. based its
contention on the following points ::
, Issuance of writ of prohibition is
not within the appellate jurisdiction
Of the court.
The petition of the corporation
shows on it's face" that the ''peti-
TONERS have already practical and
adequate remedies in law"
Injury Called Irreparable.
The powers and duties, the exer-
cise of which is sought to be prohib-
tied. are not judicial in character.
'Writs of prohibition in these cases
would work reparable injury"
In support of his first point Mr..
Classic called attention to the fact
that the only inherent supervisory
power" of the Court of Appeals over
the commission is conferred by the
rents act itself. which petitioners
say is a nullity."
1t was next pointed out that if the
rent board is without authority, as
the petitioners aver. no action taken
by the board could interfere with
the corporations demand for possess
sion Of the building or the recovery
Of the demanded rent.
The commission held further that it
is not assuming judicial prerogatives
in fixing rents on the Southern build
ing. "This is manifestly legislative
question" 1t is stated.
Finally the commission declares that
to grant the writ would work ir-
reparable wrong to the great army
Of tenants and houeeholders." tending
to destroy all opportunity on their
part to test the constitutionality of
the rents act in the courts.

IMMIGRANT CHECK
IS TOPIC OF LABOR
Fears American Workmen
Will Be Made Idle by
Foreign Influx.

Surmounting the open shop" ques-
tion. the standards of wages and other
highly considered measures of the
American Federation Of Labor for re-
adjustment in the next year. the flood
OF immigration has snatched the lime
light at the executive council gather
ings of that organization, and a cam
paign to stem the tide of million in
coming aliens year is occupying vir-
tually the undivided attention of
labor leaders, it was learned today
Legislation, wage standard and un-
employment questions. however, are
going hand-in-hand with the feder-
atoms immigration problem. What
the federation wants. according to
Secretary Frank Morrison. is the
dropping of bars at the debarkation
points for immigrants. for four years,
in order to allow the country to as
simulate those who have entered it's
portals.
Will Bend Every Effort.
To this end the Legislative agents of
the federation during the coming ses-
sion of Congress will bend every ef-
fort. The result of the influx of i'm
migrants. according to the secretary
of the federation. will be to throw
American workmen out of their jobs,
are taking such steps to reduce the
standard of wages.
And the ultimate result. the fedora
ton is on record as holding. will be
that American workmen of today will
be replaced tomorrow by workers now
in central and southeastern Europe.
This brings unemployment, which is
increasing throughout the country. in
a manner causing concern at the fed
GRAFTON headquarters, into the arena.
Unemployment will bring lower
wages. it is claimed. On this topic
also is the fear of the grip of radic2 Is.
One official stated yesterday that the
federation realized that unemDloy-
ment meant empty stomachs for
many. and that empty stomachs meant
discomfort, thereby furnishing fer
tile sowing ground for un-American
and anti-governmental doctrines.
The problems are interlocked in q
sort of an arch of doubt. with the
keystone excessive immigration. To
the right and left of the keystone are
unemployment and discomfort And
the other sections of the arch held
together by the keystone are radical
ism. lower standards of production
and kindred propositions.

action of the executive council of the
American Federation has yet been

cleaned from the individual state
