4O1 CITIZENS APPEAL
TRANSFER OF SCHOOL
Park View Residents Ask Board of
Education to Reconsider
Munroe Action.

An appeal for reconsideration Of the
order changing the Monroe School from
a white school TO one for colored pupils
has been addressed to the Beard OF
Education by 40l residents of the Mon
roe School district in Park View.
The petitioners ask reconsideration on
the grounds that the nearest and only
remaining white school in our COM
munity is the Park View School" and
that the transfer of the Monroe pupils
to that building imposes upon them a
journey from six to eight blocks four
times a day, granting that the recess
period of one hour, from II 10 /, is
sufficient TO enable them having
parental care and hot lunch at home
The petition cites also the dangers
attendant upon smaller children having
TO cross eight street crossings. one of
which is Park road" and asserted that
there had been no pronounced change
IN the neighborhood to warrant the as
sumption that an insufficient number
of white children can be found IN the
boundaries Of the Monroe School district.
In ordering the transfer of the Mon
roe School TO The colored division of
the school system, the school board con-
sidered the fact that four of the Mon
roe Schools 16 rooms are not used as
class rooms and that there is marked
need for additional school accommoda-
tons for the colored children of the
neighborhood.

ACCENT PAY SCALE
ON ROADS DENIED
Maryland Commission Head
Says Local Wages De-
termine Minimum.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, August 29-The State
Roads Commission does not intend to
create a uniform labor wage scale with
q minimum of 40 cents an hour to be
paid road workers in all sections of the
State, according to c. Clinton Uhl,
chairman of that body.
In localities where this wage limit is
in effect the workers will receive the
current local scale, but there will be no
attempt on the part of the commission
to require contractors on bodybuilding
jobs to pay other than local normal
late.
Labor Agitation Feared.
I'VE do not believe it would be fair
to local manufacturers and farmers to
go into their sectors offering wages
higher than they pay to attract their
workmen and cause LABOR agitation"
Mr.. Uhl said.
THE commission recognizes the
tights Of other labor employing enter
prises and will not offer more lucrative
Jobs to the laborers which would entlce
them from their regular work"
Mr.. Uhl made his comments on the
wage question in response to a state
ment of r. F. Shaw of Oldtown, crlti-
cizing the commission for paying low
wage scale on work being done in
Allegany County. Mr.. Shaw stated that
labor was receiving from Is to 80 cents
an hour on this work
Higher Scale Cited.
''Mr. Shaw has apparently been mis-
informed as TO the wage scale being
paid for work in Allegany County. The
Cumberland contractor who is making
the road improvement is paying labor
ers from 80 to 80 cents an hour, which
Is the standard wage scale for that Sec
tion,'' Mr.. Uhl said.
Efforts on the part Of the roads body
to create employment for those out of
work would be defeated by any move to
create a wage figure sufficiently high
to attract the already employed from
their present jobs, he said. What the
commission aims to do, according to
Mr. Uhl, is create more employment IN
the different sections where road work
is planned at standard local scales
rather than compete with the farmers
and industries for their help.
