F. Robertson Jones Testifies
at Hearing on Efforts Against
Fitzgerald Measure.

Admission that powerful foreign
insurance interests had been be-
hind the move to defeat the Fitz-
gerald workmen's compensation
bill for the District of Columbia
was made today at a meeting of
the special subcommittee of the
House District Committee by F.
Robertson Jones, alleged chief of
the insurance lobby, who has been
working against the measure.
Admits Outside Interest.
Jones, who is head Of the work.
mems compensation publicity bu-
reau which is maintained by
large number of casualty insurance
companies, made this admission in
response to questions put to him
by Congressman Roy D. Fitzgerald,
chairman of the committee.
Jones admitted that the following
foreign companies are members of
his bureau: The Employers Liability
Assurance Corporation, The General
Accident Assurance Corporation,
the London Guarantee and Accident
Insurance Company and the Ocean
Accident and Guarantee Company.
C. H. Nelly, United States manager
for the Ocean Company in 1923
acted as chairman of the executive
committee Of the publicity bureau,
Jones admitted.
Jones declared that the District of
Columbia would have had a work
mems compensation law If the I'm
derhiIl bill providing for private inO
surance funds, had not been OPP
posed by organized labor before the
Senate committee last year. He
characterized the organized labor
representatives who opposed the
measure as barn burners"
GAS a result Of this opposition the
District is today under the old en-
ployers' liability law, which is uni
versally opposed by insurance CON-
panies, employers and employees" he
declared.
Congressman Fitzgerald brought
out the fact that his bill, which pro-
vides for maintaining the workmen's
compensation fund under Govern.
mental control, had been introduced
prior to the Underhill bill.
Labor Men Heard.
els it not true that you pre-
pared the Underhill bill after the
Fitzgerald bill had been taken up
for consideration by the Senate COM
mittee last year?" Fitzgerald asked.
Jones admitted that this was
true. Fitzgerald then stated that
organized labor had not been alone
in defeating workmen's compensa-
ton at last years session Of Con-
gress.
A delegation of representative of
labor and employers in Massachu-
sets appeared before the commit
tee to refute statements made by
Congressman Charles L. Underhill
of Massachusetts. They took ex-
ception to his claims regarding the
desirability of the Massachusetts
workmen's compensation law, upon
which his plan is based, and went
on record unanimously in favor of
the Fitzgerald bill.

II c. Bragg Alleged to Have
Driven Patrons Out of
Lunchroom.
TINES sIAEE PlioIn

The arrest of Cornelius Mahoney,
Of 4017 Davenport street north
west, in a lunch room at 1855 Wis
consin avenue northwest, last night
by Policeman T. C. Bragg, of the
Seventh precinct, met with Wig
orous protest in Police Court today
when four witnesses, including the
proprietor of the lunch room, tes-
titled that the arrest was unjusti-
fled and carried out in a brutal
manner. Judge John p. Mcmahon
dismissed the case.
Bragg testified that he observed
what appeared to be disorderly
conduct in the restaurant and went
in. He heard Mahoney using pro-
fame language, he said. and placed
him under arrest.
According to the testimony of
the defendant and all Of the wit.
nesses, Bragg entered and ordered
ing his order by striking one of
them in the head. They had all
left but Mahoney, who said that as
he was leaving Bragg pushed him.
He thereupon protested and was also
struck on the head and showed
through the door, being placed un-
der arrest after he had reached the
street. Instead Of taking Mahoney
to the patrol box half square
away, according to the evidence,
Bragg started up o street with him.
and when one of the young men
protested Bragg struck him in the
face with his blackjack. He then
turned and retraced his steps to
the patrol box.
Following the trial all Of the wit.
nesses stated that they had, after
the arrest, gone to the station house
and appealed to Lieutenant Pierson
telling him that Bragg was drunk
and unable to proceed with his du.
ties and asked that he be called in
to the station house. They met
with a string Of abuse, they said
and were told to get out and mind
their own business. The proprietor
r. F. Harper, claims that the officer
had no right to order all Of his
patrons from the place especially as
some Of them were drivers for q
local dairy and were made to start
on their deliveries without having
eaten. There was no disorderly con.
duct in his place and he complained
of lone, he said.
Mahoney and his witnesses say
that they will endeavor to have a
warrant sworn out charging Bragg
with assault. II this fails they will
take the matter before the head OF
the Police Department.
Those who appeared besides the
proprietor were ]. B. Caldwell. 751

komandorskie or Commander Islands.
In honor OF Commander Bering. and
named the largest island BerinE. The
famous explorers grave Ia still to be
seen on the island which bears his
name.
"The fog. which put an end to Mai.
Maci.aren's flight, shrouded the ko-
mandorskies In Bering's day. The
log OF the survivors states that there
WAS scarcely u day OF good weather
during the 10 months they were on
BerinK Island. In the winter there
were snOwstorma or winds NO strong
that man could not stand In them.
When summer came the land was
usually covered by fogs.
''The islands were not inhabited
when Bering discovered them. A
high lava ridge runs through Berinx
Island which is some so miles long.
No threes grow save few studied
willows. Driftwood reaches the is
land, however. both from Asia and
America.
ORce Frequented by Sea Cows.
"The waters about the komandor-
skies became an important whaling
region In the early 18th century, and
at times as many as 400 Whalers,
largely New Englanders, were In the
neighborhood. Huge sea cows 2s
10 ~ rect long, freQuented the Is
lands. browsing on the underwater
forests OF algae off the coasts. These
huge creatures have been extermin-
ated, as have most OF the other sea
mammals that visited the islands in
early days.
Though the Komandorskies are
almost the most remote bit OF Rus
sian territory from Moscow, they are
apparently frmly'i in the hands of the
Soviet republic. The American
round-the-wor flyers came near
finding the islands an end Of their
voyage last spring when they were
blown out of their course from the
last Aleutian to the northernmost
kurile, and had to make a precarious
landing for few hours on the water
in the lee of the komandorskies. Of
ficials from the little settlement on
Bering Island rowed out to the
anchored planes and demanded to
know why the territory of the Soviet
republic was being Violated"
