PAY SCALE ROW
SETTLED

The first controversy over the
prevailing wage scale law be-
tween the District and a contractor
of a municipal building project
has been settled. The contractor
is the w. P. Rose Company, Of
Goldsboro, N. c., employed on
construction of an addition to
the Woodbridge School.
Corporation Counsel William
w. Bride announced that he re.
ceived letter from an attorney
for the Rose company agreeing
to pay the prevailing scale set up
by the District; to pay employees
on the Woodbridge School project,
the differences in wages hereto
fore paid and that of the wage
scale dating back to october %,
and to a provision in future con-
tracts with the local government
to furnish sworn statements af-
fecting payrolls and wages paid
on municipal building jobs.
A charge that the Rose com.
pany was not paying its employees
on the Woodbridge School job the
prevailing wage scale-which is
virtually the union wage schedule
started the controversy.

LOW BIDS MARK
BRIDGE PLAY

NEW YORK, Dec. % GN.s).
Many of the hands bid and play
ed in the Lenz-Culbertson bridge
tournament are destined for glory,
but few of those in last nights
session were in that category.
The tenth encounter between
Ely Culbertson and Sidney Lenz,
featured by perhaps the worst as
semblage of under-bids and over
bids that has occurred in single
evening since the tournament
started, ended propitiously enough
for the approach-forcing master.
But the play as a whole was far
below standard, and it was due
largely to faulty bids that Cul"
bertson, partnered last night by
Baron Waldemar Won ZedtWitz,
rolled up an additional lead Of
3,2O5 points for total margin of
11,12O.
