HALT ON REVISION

By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Definite steps Will be taken at thp

are payable next March, but there T.

Opposes Parking Abreast Rule.

When the proposed regulation came
up which is intended to permit COM
mercial vehicles to stop abreast OF
parked machines for 10 minutes to
make a delivery, there was some diff.
ference of opinion as to the results
IL would cause. Mr.. Columbus stated
that such rule is necessary to en-
able merchants TO make deliveries,
and that while the average deliveries
would not take 10 minutes. he thought
that allowance was q proper one.
Mr.. Rayner of the Board of Trade
committee said his committee recog-
nized that the merchants have a prob.
lem in making these deliveries. but
expressed the belief that the regulation
as Worded would give every passenger
vehicle in the District the same right
to stop abreast u parked vehicgle that
Is intended to be given to the COM
mercial car, and he said this situation
would have the effect Of leaving no
room for the commercial vehicles. Mr..
Rayner suggested that the matter of
allowing commercial vehicles to stop
long enough to make deliveries could
be handled by the police in an admin
lstratlVe was so as to meet the needs
of the merchants, without a broad
regulation that would result In all ma
chimes stopping abreast.
>, The list of amendments included a
secore or more of locations where the
parking rule would be liberalized to
permit two-hour limit. This was
Endorsed by Mr.. Rayner. Mr.. Colum.
bus stated that his organization favor
ed enforcement of a one-hour parking
limit.
While the load of trucks was under
consideration. Mr.. Fanciulli declared
tnat uniting the load to the rated
capacity of the manufacturer would
not only multiply the number of
trucks on the streets by reducing the
loads now carried, but would increa sc
the cost of living In Washington by
$53 year per capita.

AT this moment this orga nization

Wage Rate Lower.

Mr.. Rosemund told the board that
the wage paid craftsmen in the ward
and naval stations was considerably
lower than that paid for the same
type of help on the outside. The out
side wage. he said, IS so attractive that
even former employees Of the navy
yards will not consider returning 10
Government work because the wage
is too nleager. He said that the COM
mandants had requested the drafts
men, through their organization, 10
aid their Government In getting these
men. but have always met with the

Complaint on Trainmen.

The complaint regarding the train
men at Indian Head was made by w.
y. Doak, who requested that the
trainmen rates in the navy yard be
made the average OF rates paid train
men on the commercial lines. which
rates, he said, were fixed by the Rail
way Labor Board.
Luther c. Steward. president OF
the Federal Employees Union. said
that as a general rule the recommen-

made an exception. however, in the

that the local board at Norfolk had
