| To Pork Barrel
Two Thousand Bills Intro
duced in House on
First Day.

With scores of new members just
taking their seats, there is every
indication today of a strong rally
around the venerable Congressional
pork barrel.
About 1000 bills have been intro
duced in the House so far, and of
this number, roughly, 1,500 are of
private or local character.
For instance, there are something
like 900 bills which call for the do
nation by Uncle Sam of a historic
cannon ball, or a cannon, or similar
relic, to some members home dis
trict or town.
To date there have been approx
mately 200 bills calling for a new
postofnce, or an improved old one,
or "the construction OF public
building" In addition to these
there are several hundred bills call
ing for local improvements in va
rious waterways, or conveying GER
tain benefits on small local groups,
all classed as private bills
OF the unusual bills may safely
be classed that of Congressman
Blanton of Texas which provides
that in lieu of the 20 cents mileage
now allowed Congressman, these
members shall be paid "their actual
expenses" In moving to and fro on
their business. such expense mot
to exceed the mileage allowance Of
20 cents now provided for"
Mr.. Blanton also introduced sew
eral other bills, one prohibiting
strikes on railway or water trans
portation lines, and another barring
the practice Of "picketing'' in the
District of Columbia.
Another bill by the same member
limits the interest a national bank
may charge to per cent, while still
another provides for q reapportion-
ment of representation in Congress
on the basis OF the new census.

LABOR STRIKES
LOOM0NMAY1 |.
Troubles in Shipping, Building
Trades, and Printing Industry
4 May Cause Walkouts.
BY MILDRED MORRIS
Internation evvs Service.

Strikes Of far-reaching impor-
tance will mark May Day in the
United States unless pending con-
troversies over wage and other
agreements are settled.
A complete tie-up Of Atlantic
and Gulf coast ships, strikes that
will amour. to almost a national
tie-up of the building operations
and a nationwide walk-out Of the
printing trades from the big job
bing and publishing houses are
threatened.
CONTRACTS EXPIRE MAY I.
Wage and working contracts held
by a large part Of labor expire May
]. labor leaders stated today, and
many lesser strikes are looked for in
view of the movement to reduce
wages.
A strike of seamen. marine en-
gineers and other labor on cpastwise
steamships plying the Atlantic and
the Gulf depends on conferences held
this week. The armistice which re-
suited in calling off the recent strike
of n-going and Long Island Sound
tugboats will end May 1.
The building trades in many cities
are refusing wage reductions, and
threatening strike where contracts
expire on May Day.
"A forty-four hour week or no
work" is the ultimatum of the print
ing trades and there'll be no backing
down." David T.. Davis, secretary
treasurer of the International Book
binders Union, declared today.
There will be a walk-out affect
ing nearly every big 5obbing and
publishing houses in the country un-
less the employers carry out an
agreement to establish a forty four
hour working week, beginning May I,
according to Davies.
About 80 per cent of the wage
contracts of the bookbinders expire
on that day, Davies stated.
I'VE will not accept a reduction in
wages even IL the forty -four-hour
week II put into effect" Davies said.
NO GENERAL DEMONSTRATIONs.
May Day is not set aside for labor
demonstrations, labor leaders en-
phasize.
Former Attorney General Palmer
cid everything he could to keep alive
the myth that II is," said Frank Nor
rison, secretary of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. 1T has never been
observed by labor as q day for
strikes or any other kind Of demon
stration. 1t happens this year that
many contracts expire on that day
and there is a genueral movement to
reduce wages"
