|THEATER CHARGE QUERY
HAS BEEN DELAYED
House Subcommittee Says It Is Not
Concerned in the
Matter.

Investigation of the charges made
in the full District committee last
week. that theaters in Washington
are charging exorbitant prices, which
was submitted as one of the prin-
cipal matters to be studied and re-
ported upon by a special subcommit-
tee, has been delayed.
The special subcommittee. headed
by Representative Loren Wheeler of
Illinois, decided today not to concern
itself with the prices charged. When
this decision was reported to Chair
man Focht Of the District committee.
he said:
I'VE are pretty we'll satisfied that
existing regulations cover fire safe
guards. 1 believe that the suboom-
mittee will have to consider the
question Of prices before we get any
action on any recommendations they
may make"
Julian Brylawski, manager of the
Cosmos Theater. was a witness before
the subcommittee today. MIR. Bry-
lawski defended the use of what in
theater parlance is called the pen"
as a sufficient protection for patrons
Of the theater, and q very acceptable
substitute for obliging them to stand
outside while waiting an opportunity
to get in to q continuous performance.
The subcommittee decided today to
continue its hearings next week. The
next hearing will be held on Thurs

In the absence of Secretary Davis,
who has gone to Pittsburgh, negotia- =
tions which the Labor Department
head has been conducting with the
marine workers union were deferred,
and the controversy between the
unions and ship owners as to wages
and working conditions stood where
it has been for several days.
In the meantime proposals Mr..
Davis has made to the Seamen in an
effort to prevent the threatened tie up
strike are being considered by the
various organizations involved. A de-
cision is looked for by Monday. when
the conferences will be resumed.
Whether these proposals were the
same submitted to the ship owners in
New York yesterday and rejected had
not been disclosed today.
Reports Are COnhictin9.
Reports as to the curtailment of ship
sailings continued to be conflicting.
Shipping Board officials expressed
optimism SO far as movement of its
vessels was concerned. while on the
other hand representatives of the
unions reported the strike was spread
ing daily as ships came into port
from foreign voyages. They also
claimed additional companies were
signing up crews at the old rate of
ton recently ordered by the Ship
ptng Board.
Changed conditions at sea during
200 years have brought the seaman
down from the most dignifed of la
boring men until he is now at the mud
sills of society,"" Andrew Furuseth.

mems Union. asserted today before
House committee, in opposing enact
ment Of the Scott bill to modify the
application of the seamen's act to
Great Lakes shipping. Any reduction
az standards in working condition, he
said, would only serve international
shipping interests in their alleged at
tempts to destroy the American mer-
chant marine.

CHARGES
| AGAINST D. H. BLAIR
Senate Committee Starts
Inquiry Over Nominee for
Internal Revenue Head.

The nomi OF David II. Blair or
North Carolina to be internal revenue
commissioner was considered today
by the Senate finance committee, IN
connection with the charges made
against Mr.. Blair by Senator johnson
OF California.
After hearing evidence on both sides
the committee adjourned without ac-
ton, to resume the inquiry Thursday.
John w. Moorhead. republican ma
tional committeeman from North
Carolina. explained to the committee
the situation which existed at the
time OF the republican national con-
vention, when Mr.. Blair cast his vote
for Judge Pritchard, and then Gov.
Lowden. and finally President Har-
ding for the presidential nomination.
He told the committee that the prl-
maries were held in North Carolina
just before the convention met. and
that while Senator johnson undoubt-
edly received a majority of the votes
cast. the North Carolina delegation
to the convention never received any
official notification of the result. The
delegates had previously been in
structed by the state convention to
support Judge Pritchard until it ap-
peared that he could not be nomi-
mated.
In connection with the charges that
Mr.. Blair might be interested in claims
before the internal revenue bureau
because of refunds of income tax
sought by members of his family
Treasury experts are understood to
have told the committee that these
claims had been adjusted before Mr.
Blair was appointed.
Senator Johnson was present at the
hearing today, which was held be-
hind closed doors. 1t was because of
Senator Johnson's opposition to the
confirmation Of Mr.. Blair that the
Senate several days ago ordered the
nomination sent back to the finance
committee for further investigation.

Washington Society Hears Talks
On Piston Rings.

The Design Of Piston Rings" was
the subject of an address last night
by H. H. Platt of Philadelphia speak
ing before the Washington section of
the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Mr. Platt showed mathematically
and by test results that leakage through

portance. The important point for con-
sideration. he said, was to have the ring
fit the cylinder perfectly. as most leak

prohibition enforcement operatives to
arrest people on mere hearsay evil
dence was a distinct violation of con-
stitutional rights and cited numerous
opinions Of courts which, he contend
cd bore out his point.
"Homes are supposed to be safe
these days." he said. But I will not
admit that they are under the pres
ent practices and the methods under
which search warrants are now is
