TRUCK-FREE ROADS
 0N SUNDAY ASKED

CONCORD, N. H., Aug. 6. (P- Elimination of motor trucks from the highways on Sundays and holidays on the ground that they contribute to the peril of week end travel was advocated in statement issued by the State Mo- tor Vehicle Commissioner, John F. Griffin. who also is president of the Eastern Conference of Motor Vehicle Commissioners. The state ment follows in full text:
 An automobile truck, like a hu- man being, needs one day of rest in seven, and Summer Sabbaths would be an excellent time for commercial vehicles to keep off roads
 Motor vehicle department statis- tics are not so tabulated in New Hampshire to show how largely trucks figure in the total of auto mobile accidents The proportion is certainly larger than it should be.
 We cannot legally rule the big trucks off the roads, even on Sun day, but we ask truck owners, for their own sakes and for the sake of the public, to keep their ma chimes in the garage on the Sab- bath so far as is practible. Trucks are bad enough on the highways at any time, but on Sundays and holidays, when traffic is heavy, they constitute a menace to auto travellers as whole.

 s. Hendrix Guernsey. a prom inent business man of Orlando, Fla, came through to Seward number of years ago. Speaking of his trip short time afterwards, he says:
 "Your letter was a most well come one for it brought back recol- lections of one of the most pleas ant trips of my life. I shall never forget that wonderful scenery, the salmon canneries, the mines, the hospitable people and all that goes to make up Alaska. I have prom ised myself that some day I would return and have not yet abandoned that hope.

plenty Of time, but I'll bet that kids
the first one I'M"
Sure enough, he was.
That's the spirit" said Tawse. "And
do those boys play foot ball? Some Of
them never saw a foot ball before,
some played the game in high school,
but they work together and they don't
hold back on a tackle.
Last Sunday they beat a Washing
ton athletic club, scrappy, experienced
outfit, IL to 0. Next Sunday our COL
ored team goes up against one of the
strongest aggregations in Washington.
Both teams are dated up until the
last of December. We have a game
Thanksgiving, and on December 20 the
white team plays the District amateur
champions"
The white team lost its first two
games this season, but, starting with
Sundays win, expects to make a clean
sweep of the remaining contests.
Don't get the impression" said
Tawse,. that this is a playhouse down
here. Those fellows out there work
as hard in the shops as they play on
the field.
And It's a funny thing the men
who run the hardest with that ball are
the very men we know won't run out
on usl
Just come down and see them in q
real game some timel"

PAINT FIRM SEEKS
PAY LOSS OF i. S.
$4,000 Dropped Through
Wage Ruling, Contractor
Maintains.

Criticizing operation Of the Bacon
Davis law, which requires contractors
on Government work to pay the pre-
vailing wage" the Alliance Construction
Co. of New York has filed claim with
the Government for $4,000, representing
the amount of additional wages the
company says it was forced to pay on
account of a decision by the Secretary
of Labor.
The Alliance Co., which was using
non union labor on a painting job at
the new Internal Revenue Bureau
Building, was reported to the Secretary
of Labor by the local painters union,
which charged the company was vio-
lating the Bacon-Davis act.
The company, through its field super
intendent in charge here. Herman Nor
ris. protested, and contended he was
paving more than what he considered
the prevailing wage in open-shop paint
Jobs here in the District Of Columbia.
Ordered to Meet Scale.
Secretary of Labor Doak, however,
upheld the unions contention that $11,
the wage paid union painters, was the
prevailing scale here: Mr.. Doak notlneo
the Secretary of the Treasury, in charge
of the public building work, and the
paint company was ordered to pay the
prevailing wage.
Morris. in protesting the decision,
claimed the Government had accepted
his bid, tied him up in contract, and
then forced him to pay higher wage
cost than the cost on which he had
BASED his bid. He said he considered
this unfair. He agreed, however. under
protest. as of August 81, to pay the pre-
vailing scale of Sill. He claimed he had
been paying from So to $12 day to his
men, which he said was higher than the
open shop scale here.
After the paint job was finished last
week the Alliance Co. inquired that
the manner in which the Bacon-Davis
law was administered, forcing higher
wages, had cost $4,000 more than 1t
otherwise would under the old wage
scaie. A claim for $4,000 then was
filed with the Treasury Department.
Case May Go to Court.
The company has been informed,
however. such a claim must be filed
with the General Accounting once, of
which the head Is Controller General
McCarl. It could not be ascertained
TO-DAY whether the $4,000 claim had ac-
tually reached McCarl, but it Is known
to be on its way.
The decision of McCarl in this case
is awaited with keen interest, as it in
wolves a question vital to administration
of the Bacon-Davis law.
The Alliance Co. has INDICATED readi-
ness to fight the principle Of their con-
tention to the highest tribunal.

After Sympathetic Hearing.

petition for improved administra-
ton of the District of Columbia Re
pair Shop was placed before the Com
missioners today by a delegation Of
Board of Education members and school
officials.
In their petition, the school people
sought acceleration of needed work in
the school buildings. They pointed out
instances of new equipment standing
idle in new school buildings because
the repair shop force had not made
the necessary connections. One eX-
ample of this delay is the Charles W..
Eliot Junior High School, which was
opened in September. Some OF its
equipment is in unusable condition.
Claim Priority Ignored.
The school authorities also asserted
that their own priority listing OF re-
pair jobs frequently is ignored by the
repair shop. so that repairs and install
lations recognized by the school people
themselves as of prime Importance
frequently go unattended while msig-
niflcant tasks are performed by the
repair shop, which seeks to suits its
own convenience.
DR.. Luther H Reichelderfer. chair
man of the Board of Commissioners,
and Commissioner Herbert b. Crosby,
it was understood, received the petition
of the school authorities with sympathy,
although they made no specific prom
iseS. The school people, felt, however.
at the close of their session with the
District heads that the present diff
culties emanating from the present adj
ministration of the repair shop would
be corrected in the near future.

before the board were Mrs. Philip Sid

IS PERSONS SHAKEN
IN ELEVATOR MISHAP
District Building Lift, Condemned
by Inspector, Falls to
Basement.

Fifteen employees at the District
Building we're slightly shaken yesterday
when one of the Anticipated elevators
in service there failed to stop at the
ground floor and fell with jerk to the
basement.
The occupants were forced to make
their way on foot to the frst-f1oor level,
the mishap occurring when only one
OF the six elevators was working. The
electrical power had been cut to a min
imum and there was not enough to
bring the car, with its full load, back
from the basement.
The elevator, which was back in serv-
ice again today, is one of six In use at
the building which have been con-
demned by Col. John Oehmann, build

there are plenty of men in the stands,

Sundays, who never cheered before.
But you ought to hear them now, root

THE game is popular here. It's
rough, but it's fair. The players like
it and, the spectators like it. They've
found a game which can't be beaten
when it's played hard and clean and
by the rules. Come down Sunday and
