Lowden Declares
GoIdstein Unfit
Harding's Appointee as Reve-
nue. Collector Asks With
drawal of Nomination.

ST. LOUIS, May 10.-A wireless
message from former Governor
Frank o. Lowden, Illinois, received
by the st. Louis Globe Democrat
that Nat Goldstein, President Hard
lng's appointee as revenue collector
of the Eastern Missouri district, is
unfit" for the position.
The radiogram was in reply to
one sent by the newspaper to Low
den on board the steamship
Olympic.
Lowden's message declared that
Goldstein's testimony before the
Senate investigating committee.
relative to the $2.5O0 check which
the latter swore he received to sup
port Lowdens candidacy for the
presidency at the Chicago conven-
tion, was absolutely false
The former governor asserted he
was afterwards informed that
Goldstein's testimony was given by
suggestion of the Senate investiga-
ting committee.
His nomination. now presumably
at the instance of Senator Spencer,
would seem to give color to this
charge" Lowden said. e.
A letter from Goldstein asking
the withdrawal of his nomination in
view of the embarrassment il
seemed to have caused was read
by Senator Spencer yesterday in
the Senate.

BOARD SWAMPED
WITH COMPLAINTS
AGAINST SCHOOLS
Representatives of Civic
Bodies Give Proof of
Bad Conditions.
CONGESTION SHOWN
Many of Evils Remain Because
OF Slashing of Last Edu-
cation Budget.

Proof of the outworn condition Of
Washington school machinery was
presented at the Franklin School
last night when representatives of
civic organizations met with the
Board of Education to report on
schools in their respective vicini-
ties.
Reports filed with the Board. and
speeches by representative citizens
on the conditions of individual pub
lie schools testified to what is re-
Earded as a deplorabAe school situa-
tion. without exception those
present reported urgent need for
buildings or grounds in their SEC
tions of the city.
Budget Cut Hard.
Practically all items reported
were needs that had been noted by
schools officials previous to last
nights meeting. In the last budget
prepared by the Board of Education
remedies were provided, but due To
the complicated process through
which the school budget must pass
these items were stricken from the
budget before reaching Congress
As an instance. Superintendent OF
Schools Frank w. Ballou stated
that whereas $4,000 had been
asked with which to make repairs
and alterations, only $4,000 was
granted last year.
Overcrowding and congestion in
Central High School was pointed
out by representative of the
Central Alumni Association who
declared that there are nine hun
dred more students in the buildinC
| than IL was built to accommodate
There are so per cent. more stu,
dents in the high schools of the 6ty
than is proper. It was stated.
Needs Are ItemIEed.
Among the other school needs the
following were reported as urgent:
A new four-year high school for
the vicinity of lexington and lang
don; new school buildings to re-
place the portable buildings now
in use in Petworth: additions and
! alterations to each school in Stan
ton Park; repairs and playground
| for James d. Burney School (this
school is reported as poorly lighted,
poorly ventilated, and nonfire-
proof: additional building in Chevy
Chase. The Elizabeth V. Brown
School has hfty-one pupils in each
classroom. Dilapidated condition OF

RAIL WAGE BOARD
RULING MAY AVERT
SHOPMEN STRIKE
Decision Against Farm.
ing Out Held as Victory
For Employees.

CHICAGO. May 10. - Railroads
putting shop work and other con-
tracts in the hands of private COM
panies for the purpose of taking
employees from the control of the
United States Railroad Labor Board
are violating the transportation
act. according to a decision handed
down by the board late today.
Employees in these shops. and in
other departments "farmed out"
are to receive wages set by the
board for the same classes of labor
on other railroads, and are to enjoy
the same working rule privileges,
it was declared.
The board held, however, that it
is not Illegal for railroads to make
private contracts so long as en-
ployes are treated the same as be-
fore they were put into private con-
troll
As the railroad unions have
charged that the major object OF
the railroads in turning shops over
to private companies has been to
escape the jurisdiction of the Labor
Board, the decision is interpreted
by the employees as an apparent
victory. Leaders of 100000 union
shop men recently threatened to send
out strike ballot If the carriers
did not stop disCharging employees
and cutting wages and increasing
working hours in shops under prj<
vate control. The decision. unless
protested successfully in the courts
will result in withdrawal of the
strike menace, it is believed.
While the specific case involved
is decided against the Indiana Har-
Dor Belt Railroad Company, il is
stated in the decision that all other
cases will be decided in the same
way. Twelve big lines are affected
Immediately. including the New
York Central, Erie, Chicago and
Greatwestern. Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, and the Chicago and
Northwestern.
