$4,955,845 GAS MAIN
COST IS SCRUTINIZED
Rosters Explains Estimates From
1848 to 1910 and Records
to Present.

Stuart F. Rosters, testifying on the
original cost of the properties of the
Washington and Georgetown Gas Light
Co.'S, today reached the question of gas
mains, which he has put down foS
$4,955,845.
He told the Public Utilities Commits
sion that Of this sum only $2,837, BOT
was directly identified from the com.
panies' books, the rest being estimated
In various ways. The portion which
came from the companies books goes
back only to 1910, and all that portion
laid from 1848 to 1910 is estimated.
Rosters today was explaining how he
arrived at his estimate. He told how
he set about finding out how much
more it had cost the companies to put
the main in the ground by hand labor
than it would cost under the repro
duction theory. where all the pipe
would be laid in a single operation, and
came to the conclusion that it had
cost 1.6 times as much. This 1.6 he
termed a "piecemeal factor"
Yesterday he had traced various
costs back 10 1848. His labor index
showed that at that time the companies
were paying their common labor Z
(seven) cents per hour.

DAIRY CONCERN
APPEALS TO SEAL
Walker Hill Company Takes
Cream Price Fight to
Investigator.

The Walker Hill Dairy today took its
fight for equitable cream prices to
Milk Administrator Elwood H Seal for
settlement.
The independent distributor, in a let
ter to the special counsel of the Senate
Milk Investigating Committee, pointed
out that the Chestnut Farms Chevy
Chase Diaries. owned by the National
Dairy Products Cooperation. are able to
buy milk for cream purposes at cents
a gallon less than the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Association
charges the Walker Hill Dairy.
The Walker Hill contends this is an
unfair trade practice and that 1t should
be permitted to buy class 2 milk at the
same price as It's competitor. The dairy
also pointed out that Thompson'S Dairy
is allowed a similar Accent cut due to
the fact it receives direct shipped
cream
Walker Hill desires either enough
direct cream shippers to enable it to
compete on an equitable basis with
Thompson and the National Dairy
afiliates or a receiving station to which
farmers can ship milk on the dlf-
ferential Both Of these requests have
been denied by the management OF
the Milk Producers Association.
The distributors thereupon asked for
a straight Accent cut to bring its prices
in line with those Of the other two
diaries, but the producers organization
refused to grant any cut.

OVERTIME RELIEF
FORECAST AT N. R. A.
Babcock Says Johnson Left I'm.
preston Long Hours Will Be
Confined to Emergencies.

The belief that some relief would be
afforded in the overtime situation at the
National Recovery Administration was
expressed today by E. Claude Babcock,
president of the American Federation
of Government Employees, who headed
a delegation yesterday which called on
Administrator Hugh S. johnson to pro-
test working conditions of the N r. A.
While johnson made no promises,
Babcock pointed out he expressed
agreement with a resolution presented
by the delegation, which asked that
those who work overtime receive COM
pensation either in free time or actual
pay johnson left the impression, Bab-
cock said, that overtime would be re-
quired only in emergencies" The
employees do not expect to get paid In
such cases, but they do expect COM
pensatory time.
Babcock said an important develop.
ment out of the Commute conference
was Johnson's unequivocal statement
that employees there had right to
organize. Some of the underofficials
have sought to discourage unionization
activities, according to Babcock, and one
of these, he said. was called on the tele-
phone by johnson during the confer
ence and told that efforts asong this
line must cease.
