Wife Held To Blame
If Husband Skips Out

If the Judge and jury could hear her
sharp tongue there would be nothing
but sympathy for the husband who
had deserted her.
Senator Pomerene has been in touch
with the State Department with a
view to getting the proposed treaty
modified so that it will provide for
extradition OF husbands deserving
their wives, or certainly some ma
chinery to compel them to pay for
the support of their families in cases
where there are children.
LODGE POINTS TO 40 STATES.
If there are no children, Mr.. Pome-
rene is adamant. No treaty will tie
ratified, so far as he is concerned,
which would enable the long arm of
the law to reach up into Canada and
bring back a husband whose nagging
wife made life so impossible for him
that he was willing to uproot his
stakes and start life anew in another
country.
Senator Lodge called the attention
OF the committee, just before he was
overwhelmingly voted down. to the
fact that forty states now have laws
which would permit the extradition
OF q wife deserter to another State.

BILL GRANTS
UNIONS PLEA
4. F. Of L. Wins Fight to In
clude Skilled Labor In Classi-
fication Plan.

Labor scored a decided victory
yesterday afternoon when Congress-
man Lehlbach informed representa-
lives Of more than thirty organiEa-
tons Of skilled trades that in his
reclassification bill, which he is
about to present to Congress, he
will ask that the Government estab-
lish q wage scale on a par with that
paid organized labor in private en-
ployment.
PROVISIONS OF BILL.
Mr.. LehlbAck said that he had
embodied the following clause TO
cover this point in his bill:
Tho compensation for work per-
formed In this grade (skilled trades)
shall be the prevailing rate for those
occupations in the District OF Col
umbtA"
In giving this assurance labor's
objection to the Redistribution Dill
has been removed, President Samuel
Qompers OF the American Federation
of Labor commented this morning
Organized labor had announced
bitter night on the Redistribution
program unless IL was recognized
that the work OF skilled trades In
the government service was worth
as much as the prevailing rate on the
outside.
The pronounced difference in wage
scales paid labor in and out or the
Government service has long been a
serious point of contention. The Gov
ernment always has paid unionized
employees far less than the scale de-
manded in private employment with a
result that considerable dissatisfac-
ton existed.
GOMPERs OPENS CONFAB.
The conference yesterday afternoon
was called by President Gompers pur-
suant to the policy of the A. +. OF l..
in support of reclassincation legisla-
ton for the Government service.
President Qompers opened the meet
ing with q brief address in which he
advised the careful consideration and
judicious action in order that the
muoh-needed Redistribution might be
secured. He then retired from the
chair and President Luther @. stew
ard of the National Federation OF
Federal Employees, was elected to
take charge.
Any question as to the rate for
other groups it was agreed would
first be taken up in the local unions
affected, referred by them to their in
transitional for consideration. reported
back to the legislative representative
OF the A. +. of l. and finally brief
submitted by the respective orgnniza-
tions to the House Committee on Civil
Service at the hearing on the rcclassi-
fcation bill.
