LABOR DEPT. ACTS
To ADJUST WAGES
OF DAY WORKERS
ConciIiators Named to Settle
Per Diem Dispute AL
ready in Session.

| The Department of Labor today ap-
pointed three conciliators to endeavor
to settle the differences between the
per diem workers of the District and
| the Commissioners
H. l.. kerwin. assistant to the Sec
rotary of Labor, announced that they
are Rowland B. Mahany, solicitor of
the department.; Walter D. Davidge,
local attorney, and John B. Colpoys of
the Central Labor Union.
Following their appointment, the
conciliatorS went into conference at
the Department of Labor with Joseph
H. Hurley, president, and jeremiah
Mahaney. member, of the City En-
ployes Association.
Appeal to President.
Hurley and Mahaney outlined the
position of the workers. which, in
substance, is that per diem employees
of the District be given the same
wage scale as navy yard workers
1t was decided to have Mr.. Davidge
and Mr.. Colpoys confer with the Dis
trict Commi ssioners late today, in an
effort to bring about an adjustment.
Prior to the appointment of the con-
ciliators Mr.. Hurley called at the
White House and saw Secretary
Tumulty and Rudolph Forster, ex-
ecutive clerk, to ask that the Presi-
dent take an interest in the District
workers. Mr.. Tumulty told Mr.. Hur-
ley that the President was interested
but that the Department of Labor was
the regular channel for handling la
Dor disputes.
The pay of the per diem workers
of the city is fixed by a wage board
composed of Maj. Carey H. Brown, as
sistant. engineer commissioner; two
heads of departments and two work.
ers, one from the City Employees As
trict branch of the Federal Employees
Union.
Employees Got Increase july 1.
This wage board on July 1 recon-
mended increases for the various
groups of per diem employees ranging
from 1 to cents an hour.
Maj. Brown said the navy yard
scale was not revised on July /, but
that certain employees of the yard
who had not been receiving the $24O
bonus were given it on that date.
which meant an increase of rs cents
a day for those workers. The Dis
trict workers have been getting the
bonus from the start.
MI. Hurley made the contention
that while the District workers have
been getting the bonus right along
their basic pay was reduced when
they got the bonus. so that they
would not exceed the navy yard scale
a year ago.
The whole controversy hinges on
whether the Commissioners should
Day their per diem employees exactly
the same wages as similar trades
lien at the navy yard receive.

Through agreements reached between
Henry J. Hunt. Sd, commissioner for
Montgomery county. and officials of the
state roads commission of Maryland the
only link in the old National Trails

of repair.
New Surface Next Fall
During the fall months the state COM
mission will begin steps to resurface the
road entirely from the District line to
Rockville, this being deemed advisable
to make the road conform to the excel

over the Rockville road also is a fac
tor in the decision of the state CON-
mission to make extensive repairs.
By decision of the government bu-
reau of good roads, 1t was deemed
advisable to withdraw all government
forces and maintenance funds for the
governments experimental roads ly-
ing within Montgomery county just
outside the District line. Curtailment

perimental road purposes from $4,000
to $25, 900 made this step advisable in
the eyes of the government officials

the proposed government arrange
ment Montgomery county would have
been forced to bear the entire main
tenance cost, but under the agreement
which Commissioner Hunt has OBJ
tanned the county will escape this

necessitated a much higher tax rate
for the county
The only highway to remain with

be the Rockville-Potomac road, which
can be maintained for about s2,40l
