WORKMEN OBJECT
TO OUTSIDE LABOR

Importation of Men on

A STRONG protest against EMPLOYMENT

A strong protest against employment
of nonresident mechanics on District
Government building projects, while To-
cal workmen are unable to find work
was filed with the District Commission
ers today by group of local building
tradesmen.
I'VE petition you as citizens and tax
payers to do all in your power to re-
lieve the existing conditions in the Dis
trict of Columbia on all construction In
the District and other work." the state
ment reads. I'VE ask that you dc
something to break up the practice OF
importing foreign labor For the past
five years the contractors have not given
the taxpayers a square deal on this work
and we think we should get a Just per-
centage of the work"
The petitioners make the point that
they are home owners here and are un-
able to obtain work because the jobs
are taken by mechanics imported from
other cities.
Agreement Cited.
When a similar protest was made re-
Gently by a group of local carpenters, ar
explanation came from two sources that
an agreement existed between the en-
ploying contractors and organized labor
which permitted the contractors to en-
ploy as much as so per cent of his force
from out Of town.
The petitioners today cited the case OF
the Taft Junior High School, declaring
I'VE do not believe it is necessary that
workmen should be imported from the
States to do this work when there are
plenty of good men in the District that
pay taxes to build these schools for their

this is done and has been done for the

PRIVATE FINANCES
BACK WORLD FAIR
Chicago Exposition Is First to
Be Supported Without
Aid of Taxes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 25-The f.
nancial structure of the Century Of
Progress differs basically from that OF
its predecessor in 1893 1t is the first
international exposition to be privately
financed, unsupported hv taxes.
Whereas the organi Q ion, promotion
and operation OF the t. Columbian Ex-
position was matter OF city, State
Federal and international concern. and
effected through subsidies from public
treasures. the Century of Progress is
virtually autonomous.
The Century of Progress was organ
ized as ap Illinois corporation, non
profit making and with no capital stock
It derived its revenue from several main
sources.
Fair Legion Formed.
First, a world fair legion was formed
The public was invited to purchase S.
certificates, exchangeable for 10 admis-
sions to the exposition. Thus 1884, ,0O(
was raised.
Second, memberships in the fairs as
sociation were sold at fees of from $5(
to $1,000 This brought in $272,o00.
Third, $l0,000,000 in gold notes were
issued, secured by the requirement thai
40 per cent of all gate receipts be de.
posted with the beard of trustees anc
by the guarantee of a group of individ'
uals and corporations. Each guarantol
agreed to obligate himself to the amount
of this guarantee. From these private
pledges, the Century Of Progress Sc.
cured $13,000,000. The remaining 6(
per cent of the gate receipts will bt
available for the payment Of operating
expenses of the exposition.
Another source of revenue is through
sale of exhibit space, of which $4,000.
600 worth has already been sold or con-
tracted for. Contracts for concession!
have brought $4,000 and the fair re-
ceives a percentage Of the conces-
sionaires, profits. The Federal Govern
ment has appropriated $1.000,00 fol
participation and separate States smaller
amounts.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, November
25.-Dr. Irving Langmuir, second Amer
ican to win the Nobel prize in chem
istry. sails on the Bremen Tuesday for
Stockholm, where he will receive from
King Gustaf v the official award.
The scientist, dressed in neat busi-
ness suit Of dark blue, told of his plans
for q Winter divided between business
and pleasure. He is 81 years old, but
doesn't look over 40.
There is nothing very definite yet, f"
he said. I'VE will arrive at Stock
holm Just In time for the presentation
ceremonies December 10. After that
we will visit Berlin. Vienna and other
cities and then go TO Switzerland in
January for a month of Winter sports. y
Accompanied by Family.
He explained that the 1--WE" referred
to his wife and two children, Kenneth,
IA, and Barbara, IL, who will accom-
pany him.
Dr.. Langmuirs itinerery calls for
visits with several European scientists,
including the Danish physicist, Niels
Bohr, winner of the Nobel prize In
physics in 1922.
"Sure. we're taking our skis and
skates along" he said. 1--WE all go in
for the Winter sports-the whole FAM
lily. When we're at home in the VIM
ter we go skiing up in the Adirondacks
almost every week end"
For 80 years DR.. Langmuir has fol-
lowed these sports almost as faithfully
as he has stuck to his work in the big
laboratories OF the General Electric Co.
here. He got his first taste Of skiing
in Germany in 1908, when he was a
student at Gottengen.
In those days" he said, Skiing was
scarcely known in America and was not
very popular in Europe. I liked it and
I've been keeping at it ever since,
He has long been familiar figure
IN most Of the resorts In the Canadian
Rockies, the Adirondacks and the Cats
kills. The Alpine resorts will not be
new to him either, for he has wintered
in Switzerland four times in the past
10 years.
I'VE we're not planning trip to Eu-
rope this Winter" he said, "but now
that we're going We certainly can't come
back without visiting Switzerland"
