SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Wins $1,000 SUIT
Allan Davis, of Business
High, Claimed Longevity
Pay.

Allan Davis. principal of the
Business High School. was awarded
verdict Of s2.257,5O against the
District government yesterday.H by
Justice Hitz in Circuit Court. a moi
ton for Judgment being granted on
the ground that the Commissioners
had not set up a sufficient defense.
The verdict arises out of a claim
for longevity pay in addition to the
increased basic compensation under
the acts of Congress of March 3,
1916. and June $3.50.
Through Attorneys Wilson. Huide-
koper and Lesh, Davis claimed that
when his basic pay was increased
from $4,000 to s2,500. the District
auditor disallowed longevity pay.
Later, 1t is claimed. when the
basic pay was increased to s2,70v,
the auditor then allowed one year
longevity pay in addition, whereas.
Davis longevity pay should have
been allowed for all his years of
service up to FIVE years as fixed by
the organic school act. The District
Commissioners will note an appeal.

Railroads Give Priority
To Their Freight Service

NEW YORK. Aug. 2S. Freight
service has been given priority over
passenger service in the railroads
sight to a finish" against the shop
mems strike, according to Robert :.
Binkerd. assistant chairman of the
American Association of Railway EN-
ecutives.
The railroads have taken this step,
Binkerd said. because 1t was many
times impossible for the longer freight
trains made necessary by the short
age of locomotives to find room on
sidings and let the passenger trains
havee right of way.
Passenger trains entering the met
ropolitan district today were in some
cases almost six hours late due to
this order.
A break in the railroads refusal
to take the shopmen back with Sc
niority rights restored occurred to-
day when the Buffalo and Susque-
hanna Railroad, a heavy coal car
rier, invited its men to return to
work with old privileges unimpaired.

With President Cradle taking the
same attitude that President Bert
NJ. Jewell is taking. regarding ac-
ceptable wages for rail workers,
there was considerable speculation
in railroad circles here today as
to his stand il the Labor Board
does not grant an increase in
wages to his 100000 men. The
hearings are expected to be short
and a decision is predicted within
three weeks.
Ten Eastern railroads refused to
be parties to the hearing. claiming
that the trackmen had walked out
on their systems and were not con-
sidered employees.
Jewell has practically declared
that he is willing to send the men
back tn work temporarily if senior
ity were returned to the strikers.
but that there will be no perma-
nent settlement until the minimum
wage issue is recognized.
At present the Esch -Cummins law
makes no provision for a living
wage" 1t declares that the work
ers are entitled to a Just and reas-
enable wage" and on the definition
of this the carriers and employees
have been at swords ends.

the La Dor members were on their feet
at the same time. MIR. Lanshury re-
ierred 10 what is considered the
calious Indifference OF the House and
the ministers in dealing with uncm-

protest from the government sup

One Labor nicrlher demanded wha,

backed him up by insisting upon an
answer.
The Speaker OF tho House. intcrven-
