Petition Congress
The employers have already taken
steps looking toward the interven-
ton of the Federal Government in
the threatened wage dispute. This
Intervention would be in the form
of a congressional investigation. A
petition for this was laid yesterday
before Representative Frederick Zilhl-
man, chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee.
A similar petition is to be placed
before Senator Smoot of Utah.
chairman of the Senate Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds,
late today,
There is little likelihood that Con-
gress vii see fit to order an investi.
cation Of the matter, however.
Representative Zihlman stated that
he believes the controversy to be
one which should be settled between
employer and employee.
Smo0t Silent
The position of Senator Smoot in
the matter has not been made
known.
The employers base their request
for Federal Intervention on the
ground that the National Govern
ment Is vitality interested through
the huge building projects which it
has already launched here and plans
TO launch in the near future. Higher
wages granted to the building trades
here would send the cost of these
projects rocketing, it was pointed
out. Virtually every. trade to be
employed on the buildings is in
volved in the group asking for the
increase.
