Prevailing Wage

Urged by McCarl
Saws Government Should
Do What 1t Requires of

BY the Associated Press.
Controller General McCarl told the
House Labor Committee today he
saw no reason why the Government
should not pay the prevailing wage
rate" it requires of private contractors.
Speaking as a private citizen" Nc
Carl said, II do not see why the Gov
ernment should require something OF
me it would not do itself"
Proposals are before the committee
to tighten the Bacon-DaVis law, requir-
ing contracts on Federal buildings to
pay the wage rate prevailing in COM
munity.
Just before McCarl testified, Repre-
sentative La Guardio, Republican, New
York, contended that where the Gov
ernment did its own construction work
it should pay the prevailing wage.
''I have signed statement showing
that laborer formerly working on
new buildings at West Point had to
furnish the foreman pint of whisky
q day to hold his job" La Guardia said,
adding, however, that this work Is
now under private contract and the
proper wages are being paid"

CUT IN electric
RATE IS ORDERED
Utilities Commission Action
Will Result in S319,961
Saving for Consumers.

The Public Utilities commission to-
day ordered a new schedule of rates for
domestic consumers of electricity, de-
signed to save approximately 1891 1851
during the coming year.
The new primary rate will be 3.9
cents per kilowatt hour for the first SO
hours. For the next so hours the rate
will be 3.8 cents, and for all above the
first 100, cents. The present charge,
which will be replaced by the new
rates, is AZ cents per kilowatt hour.
New ScheduIe-K Rate.
\ Chairman Mason M. Patrick of the
commission announced that the pri-
mary rate will effect 1885 consumers,
reducing their bills by Sl63,278, an
average reduction Of 7 per cent. Those
using between so and 100 kilowatt hours
per month humber 33,415, and Will
save $65 l55 during the year, an aver
age reduction of per cent. Con-
sumers who now use $50 kilowatt hours,
numbering l3,400, will be saved sell
528, an average reduction of 10 per
cent. The average price for all con-
sumers in the domestic schedule Will
be slightly less than 38 cents per kilo-
watt hour
The commission also ordered a new
schedule-K of 39 cents for the first 10
kilowatt hours and cents per kilo-
watt hour for all above 10 hours. This
will effect a saving of approximately
$1l 500 to $500 customers. Schedule
K is the schedule for electric ranges,
refrigerators and other heavy duty ap-
pliances in domestic use.
Suggested AGENT Rate.
The Potomac Electric Power Co., at
the opening of the public hearing on
power rates yesterday, suggested new
domestic rate of cents per kilowatt
hour for the first 100 hours and as
cents per kilowatt hour thereafter.
Such schedule would have resulted in
saving of s27l 900 to the domestic
schedule during the year.
After the commission announced the
new domestic schedules the hearing
continued with a discussion of the COM
mercial rates. There remain approx
mately $529,000 Of the S860,000 cut to
be made this year for allocation among
the various commercial schedules.

attack of indigestion followed by apo
plexy and heart attack
His condition, DR.. George Goodrich,
his personal physician said, had been

Nor were there any accidents in his
success, for at 80 he deliberately Sc

RAIL MEN REFUSE

Ten Unions Take Definite
Stand on Pay Cut, While II
Are BaIIoting Today.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 26.--Ten unions
had taken a stand and II voted today
on the s215,OoO,O0o pay reductions for
100000 railway workers.
Executives of the 10, however, gave
no inkling what course their poll had
taken, saying it would not be revealed
until after all the unions had voted and
submitted the result to the Rail Com
mittee of nine presidents. --'
Labor, willing to barter the proposed
10 per cent wage cut for year for
certain concessions that would stabilize
and restore work to 100000 jobless and
100000 partly employed, received the
final answer of the carriers to that
program yesterday.
.t Promise Cooperation.
To the principal demand for a guar
antee of full-time Jobs to the same
number as was employed in 1880, the
carriers responded with an assurance
they would do everything practicable,
as individual roads, and carry on sep
arate negotiations toward stabilization
in that manner.
After a meeting with executives OF
the 81 unions, their general chairman
David Brown Robertson, declared lasl
night none was satisfied or pleased
with this position.
Dissatisfaction among the union
chairmen also was indicated by other
labor executives, who said the entire
stand of the rails on the stabiliZation
program was negative and wide open.
What bearing this attitude will have
on the poll, none of the union leaders
would forecast.
Decline 6-Hour Day Plan.
On other points of the labor pro-
gram the carriers agreed to the .sug-
gestion that furloughed rail employees
be given work by motor companies and
forwarding agencies controlled by the
rails; to the principle of pay roll re"

out Asking United States Aid.
PARIS, January Is (R.-Premier
Pierre Laval proposed temporary plan
Yesterday for a short moratorium on
Germany's reparations payments to pc
followed by an effort to solve the proo-
lem without calling for American aid.
His suggestion was made in CONVEX
sation with Lord Tyrrell, British Am
bassador. 1t would call for mora
torium on reparations until after the
American elections. The moratorium
would expire before December is, when
the next French payment to the United
States is due.
After the French elections in May,
and before expiration OF the new mora =
torium, q conference would be called at
Lausanne or elsewhere to negotiate q
permanent agreement. Such plan
would be in line with the American at
titude that Germany's reparations cred
itors agree among themselves before the
question OF adjusting war debts is
broached.
Payment of unconditional reparations
installments would be made to the
World Bank at Basel and loaned back
to Germany as under the present Hoo
yer moratorium. which expires next
June 80. 1t was understood the premier
suggested that France and Great Brit
ain try to reach an agreement at the
expiration Of the proposed new mora
torium as to the amount Germany is to
pay.
The proposal was regarded here as a
step toward an interview between Pre-
mier Laval and Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald Of Great Britain.

Forty-f1ve Chinese we're re-
