tical purposes there is now only a

COMMISSIONERS
Defer RULING ON
BUILDING PAY RATE
Await Full Board Before Fix
ing Wage to Be Paid on
City Structures.
R0BB FOR SCALE UNDER
THAT SET BY UNIONS
Law Specifying Wage to Be Paid
by Contractors Cited by Cor
poration Counsel.

Action on proposals for adoption of a
minimum wage scale on municipal
building projects was deferred today by
the District Commissioners.
The District heads have been harassed
by this problem for several weeks. They
decided, in view of the far-reaching
effect of any ruling they might make,
to delay decision before a full board
could be assembled. Commissioner
Herbert B. Crosby is expected to return
from his vacation in time for the COM
mission meeting Tuesday
Mai H. L. Robb. Assistant Engineer
Commissioner, today recommended the
hxing Of minimum wage scale after
comforting with William w. Bride, cor
poration counsel. This rate is the same
as heretofore has been paid on District
construction jobs and calls for an
elgnt-hotlr day with wages considerably
lever than those demanded by union
workers.
Law Fixes Wages
Bride explained that under an act
OF Congress known as the prevailing
wage law the District could reach agree
ments with the lowest bidders on each
construction project, binding them to
pay the stipulated wages before actu-
ally awarding the contracts. If, how
ever, the contractors objected, Bride
said they might appeal to the Labor
Department, and any ruling by the Sec
rotary of Labor would be final. The
corporation counsel added any workman
on such project might protest against
the wage scale, but the Labor Depart
ment would not consider any complaints
from outside interests, such as labor
unions
Before passing on Rohb's recommen-
dstion. Bride discussed the situation
with Labor Department solicitors.
Apprised of Maj. Robb's proposal,
Thomas A. Lane, business representative
or the bricklayers, masons and plas-
terers in the District, today declared he
would appeal to the Department Of
Labor to find out whether the District
authorities have any right to fix mini
mum wage schedules
Two Scales Seen.
If the Commissioners approve the
Robb proposal, it is likely that the Dis
trict and Federal governments will have
two sets of wage scales for work on
District and Federal Government prof.
ects in the District
The Department of Labor recently
nXed, IN the case of a painting con-
tract in the new Internal Revenue
Building, the prevailing wage scale as
the union wage.
Under the Robb proposal the wage
scales for work on District projects
would be considerably below the union
rate.
The Commissioners will be called
upon to act in the matter when they
consider a recommendation of Robb
that they adopt a bid of S147O0O for
construction of a lO-room addition to
the Paul Junior High School. made BY
