Washington district.
These men are said to have
been suspended when they fought
against paying special assess
ments to maintain the racket" "
otherwise described as a super
visory system" inaugurated by
the late General Pre- Sdent Arthur
M. Huddell, his board of Gve gen.
eral vice presidents and various
general supervisors.
Col. James S. Easby-Smith, OF
this city. counsel for the union,
said today that he might later
make to The Times statement
giving the Internationals side OF
the controversy, which has long
been smoldering, in and out OF
court, and now is in full flare.
Persecution Charged
According to Mr.. Barger, attor-
ney for a group CT suspended en-
gineerS of the District of Colum-
bia and Maryland. lamentable
and unprecedented situation ex-
lists in the union ranks.
Attorney Barger asserts that
not only have engineers been sus-
pended from the union when
they declined to pay special as
sessments for the illegal, un-
wanted, extravagant, oppressive
and czar-like system Of super
vision" by the international,
which included bringing in out
side supervisors who lived luxuri-
OusIy while debating to local
unions. but the suspended men
have been bounded wherever they
went. Barger said:
1--WE estimate there are ap-
prOximateIy 1000 good engi-
neers who have been thrown
out of employment through the
system, put in during the re-
gime of Arthur M. Huddell, who
died only a few weeks ago, and
whose associates, with some ex-
ceptiOns. still are on the gov
erning board of the Interna-
tiOnal
Standing Called bad"
"AbOut 30 of these unem-
plOyed men come from the Dis
trict and nearby Maryland and
Virginia. How they manage to
get along / don't know. Many
of them have been without
work for many months.
If they try to get job else
where the engineers union
checks up on them and has
them fired as a man not in
good union standing. This wea-
pom is effective with anybody
employing union labor and with
unions other than the engi-
neerS' union.
"All these men did was to
rebel against the working as
sesSmentS' LEVIED under the 'su.
perviSOry system arbitrarily
put in several years lgO by
HuddelI and his crew. EnOr-
NOUS sums of money have been
and are being collected under it
and much of ii is unaccOunted
for. Many members still in the
union chafe under the system,
but are afraid to open their
mouths"
Had Him Fired
Barger represents the petition
ers in an injunction proceeding
now before the District Supreme
Court.
.Tney are: William I. Green,
Oxon Hill, Md; Robert Ely, Wal

SACRAMENTO, March "a. U.P)-
Successful in its first encounter
with the proposed new building and
loan law. the state senate economy
bloc sharpened its axe for more
measures today.
Led by Senator Herbert c. Jones,
San Jose. and other rural law
makers, the group last night sue
ceeded in forcing acceptance of an
amendment to the building and
loan bill, blocking an increase in the
building and loan commissioner
salary from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
The vote was 25 to l3.
Today the group of senators who
are pledged to oppose creation of
new salaries, positions and increas-
ing state salaries were ready to at
tack flock of money spending
measures before the finance COM
mittee.
Proponents of the building ard
loan bill sought the increase on the
ground that il would attract NOR
efficient men to the position. Sen
ator Jones contended that no salary
raises were justified in view of
present economic conditions"
This view was also taken by SEN
ators Charles H. Deuel.. Chico; John
L. Moran, San Francisco, and E. H.
Christian, Hayward, all Of whom
spoke in favor of Jones amendment.
Senator Treacy favored a plan to
give salary raises beginning with
the s3-a-day man." while Christian
pointed out that there had never
been lack of candidates for public
office regardless of the salary rate

the group, virtually all of whom as
serted they would vote against the
