seven were found to have sur

survived.
Commented DR.. Mann:
"That is one of the chances
you take in shipping wild ami

The purpose of the Com

the problem of unemployment
as grave as it is, I feel the

port relief work with as large
contributions as each one can

One important thing which
the Chest has achieved is the
reduction of overhead expenses,

WAGE REFUND
CHARGE
Painters at Boiling Field Say
I Foreman Demanded SO on
Pain of Discharge

War and Labor Department
officials today were investi-
eating charges that painters
employed under Government
contract at Boiling Field were
being paid the prevailing wage
scale with the provision that
they refund So a day from
their wage.
Capt. James L. Alverson, quar-
termaster at Boiling Field, de-
clared he has been conducting an
investigation into the charges
during the past two weeks and
expected to transmit all informa.
ton in the case to Brig. Gen.
Louis H. Bash, @. M. c., construc.
tion division, War Department,
tomorrow.
The complainants are Harry
Miller, of the 100 block of I st.
N. W.; H. c. King, of the 300
block of Addison Ave, Virginia
Highlands, Va, and L. Hart, Of
the $500 block of Fifth st. S. E.
Asked for Refund
The three men charged that
they were employed by j. o.
Mumma, of Detroit, among sew
eral other painters to paint the
Boiling Field barracks. They al
legged that after they had been en-
ployed for one week when they
drew their pay, Thomas Turner.
also of Detroit, the foreman, told
them they must refund So. 's.
Miller said:
1--WE did this the first week,
but refused to do it on the
second pay day. When the
third pay day rolled around
and we made the same refusal,
we were dismissed. There were
five of us who complained. We
had been told that if we made
any 'squawk' we would be dis
missed. One of the other two
men considered that any job
at So a day was better than
no job at no salary and with
drew his complaint. He is still
employed. The other man l
do not know"
Came From Detroit
Hart said that he came to
Washington from Detroit at the
suggestion of agents of the con-
tractor. He said that before
leaving Detroit he had agreed to
work for SO a day, but when ar
irving in Washington and learn.
ing that the prevailing wage scale
was $11 a day, he demanded that
salary.
Miller charges that the painters
were paid off before Captain
Alverson and other Army Off
GERS but Immediately afterwards
were told by Turner to meet him
outside the Army reservation.
There, Miller says, Turner de-
manded a So a day refund, claim
ing the contractor could pay no
more.
Under Federal law, contractors
on Government jobs must pay
the prevailing union wage scale
in cities where they have con.
tracts. The prevailing wage
scale for union painters in Wash
ington is 81 1.371a per hour or $11
for an eight-hour day.

Tom Mooney and Warren K. Bill
lings are serving life sentences in
California prisons for the bombing.
Although detectives said they were

Callicotte's statement, they booked
him as fugitive from San Francisco
and promised a full investigation.
Callicotte was quoted by police as
saying he took the suitcase from a
man in front of the Industrial Work.
ers of the World hall in Oakland,
carried it across San Francisco bay,
delivered it to a man in San Fran
cisco and at the latter's request
placed it on the curb at the corner

was at this point the suitcase bomb
exploded. Callicotte said he was paid
IS and did not know what the suit
case contained.
Because his parents were devout
Seventh Day Adventists and would be
hurt if they learned he worked on
the Adventists' Sabbath. he said he
did not reveal his story until Tuesday
night. Two years ago. he said. he at
tempted to sell the story to an east

Callicotte said he told the story
now because his parents were no
longer alive and he wanted to clear
his conscience.
Representatives of the Mooney
Defense League, which for years has
fought to clear MONEYS name, said
it had spent much money tracing
similar eports in the last Is years
only to find they were valueless.
However, they said they would in
