Stop FavOritism on
New Construction Job


WINGDALE, N.Y.-There are about
40 families, mostly Negro workers liv-
ing in shacks on the land of Homer
Slocum. He is the local political
leader and he charges from 81 to
$40 month for the privilege of liv-
ing on the land.
There Is some work going TO open
up on the highway soon. A con-
tractor boards bunch of workers,
charging them more than they would
have to pay elsewhere, and they get
work on the state jobs ahead of any
one else.
We held a meeting and decided to
tell Slocum that we would pay no
more rent unless he got all the unen-
ployed men at least one weeks work
a month at 81 day
Our committee met Slocum and he
gave in to our demand We will
make him carry it out, if he thinks
that just a promise has ended our
organizing.

WICKLFFE, KY, Jan. 49,
Hundreds Of years Of constant

maintained on three ceremonial
Altars found in q temple in one
of the nine mounds that mark the

bluffs overlooking the Mississippi
River.

mound may be seen the charcoal
remains of temple that was In

builders as part Of their ceremony,
Burning Intentional
This mound was apparently
built up after the ceremony Of
burning the building to approxi-
mately one-half Of its present
size. Then some impulse, some
religious motive, or some catas-
.trophe, which is not fully known,
prompted these people to repeat
this entire operation again, in
which the building was built, was
Set on fire, collapsed, and dirt was
thrown on the building.
It was reduced to charcoal or
carbon, showing beyond doubt that
the burning Of these two build
ings at different levels was not
accidental but Intentional.
This mound throughout is mixed
with the remains Of burned
wood, showing that many years
passed during the construction

pits approximately four feet long
and IA inches deep. :
Artistic, Religious
The graceful outlines of these
lire pits, one SuperimpoSed over
the other with a layer Of clay
dividing the two, indicates that
the builders were artistic and
highly religious.
In the temple mound and courl-
Gil mound were found pottery
vessels containing mussle shells
from religious offerings.
In the three mounds that have
been uncovered has been found
q type Of pottery typical of the
Wickliffe culture alone.

JOE HIGH,
"Our Plumber"
1915 18th st. N. w..
In the years since 1920
when Joe High first opened
his own place Of business,
hundreds and hundreds Of
washington families have
said to their friends, ''Why
not get our plumber?"
And thereby hangs the
tale. It was that remark
repeated over. and over
again by his many friends
that led Mr.. High to de-
eide upon this method Of
advertising and to adopt
his present Slogan-"Joe
High-Our Plum b e r."
Upon little things some
times greatness depends
and, so, in the case Of Mr..
High, upon that slogan
backed up by the best Of
workmanship and service
hinged his success. Today
Joe High, "Our Plumber"
is known to all Washing
ton and its nearby neigh
bors.
About 10 years ago, Mr..
High, then but a boy,
started in as a helper in
a plumbing shop. In a
few short years, after hav-
ing completed his appren-
ticeship, he opened his
first plumbing shop at S22
18th st. N. w., in a small
basement store. From the
outset he was fully deter
mined to guarantee salts
faction to every patron.
This often. in his earlier
days, cost him both time
and money, but it was the
building Of the foundation
Of the business which to-
day takes care of the
plumbing requirements Of
many of WaShington's
finest residences and COM
mercial building contrac-
tors.
In the year 1920, Mr..
Highs business had grown
to such proportions that
he found it necessary to
move to larger quarters,
and so he established the
present site of the bust
ness at 1915 18th st. N. w.
In the years intervening
he has had the distinction
of personally supervising
the installation of some Of
the finest plumbing units
in washington, his con-
tracts covering all kinds
of jobs, from the replac-
ing of a washer in a leaky
faucet, to the installation
Of the most modern plumb
ing equipment in the larg-
est institutions of the city.
He has behind him a rec
ord of successful plumbing
installations that h as
given him contracts such
as the installing Of the
laboratory equipment In
Roosevelt, Western and
the old Business High
Schools. At the time Of
this writing he has just
successfully closed the bid
for one Of the largest and
finest residence plumbing
jobs that has opened in
washington in several
yearS-that of the resi-
dence of A. B. Houghton,
in which will be placed
the latest and most mod
ern plumbing, air-condi-
tioning, water softeners
and refrigerator equip
ment. Another important
contract about to be
started is that Of Caldwell
Hall of the Catholic Uni
versity, in which Mr.. High
will install the most mod
ern baths and showers Of
today.
Just nine days ago, on
January 4, Mr.. High was
elected to the highest Of.
flee that can be attained
by a Washington plumber
in the Master Plumbers
Association Of this city
the office Of president.

BUREAU UNITS
To BE MOVED

General reorganization of many
Treasury branch offices, now
scattered throughout the city, is
due to follow two allotments by
the PWA this week in the opin-
ion of public building officials.
The outright grant of $1,750,OOO
for construction of an addition
to the Federal warehouse will re-
suit in transfer of the Supervising
Architects Office, which hence
forth will be known as the Public
Works Branch Of the Procure
ment Division.
The second allotment, $140, 900,
will be used to renovate the
fourth floor of the Treasury De
partment. One of the first bu.
reaus to move in will be the
customs office now at 1900 E st.
N. w.
Other branches of the Treasury
which may follow the customs
office are the Bureau of Mar
cotics, the Solicitor of the Treas
ury, and the Secretary's files.
These three offices are now in
Annex No. /, opposite the Treas.
ury, which probably will become
the central office of all Govern
ment diSburSing offices.

It's a long walk to Silver

may be purchased.
But it looks as though a lot
Of Washington citizens-some
10000 or $4,000 of them-are
going to have to walk if they get
o thirst and crave liquor.
That warning was voiced today
by william A. Van Duzer. direc-
tor of vehicles and traffic for the

Three Weeks Left
For, warned Mr.. Van Duzer
today, there is less than three
weeks left in which to get the

And you CANT, just absolutely
CANT, drive your car after mid

you want to run the risk of
being escorted to a precinct and

Mr.. Van Duzer, there are some
10000 tags at his office awaiting
someone to come and pay the

DEMAND PROBE
Of CWA HEADS
METHODS
Commissioner Hazen to Take
Up Matter Monday; Claim
Made Time Wasted

Complaints of arbitrary action
on the part of David Ruml, di.
rector of the District Employment
Center, in assigning persons to
CWA projects here, are to be laid
before the District Commissioners
Monday.
District officials are complain.
ing that Ruml ignores their re-
quests for persons with expert.
ence in the types of work they
have and is sending them workers
incapable of doing the work with
out spending two or three weeks
in training.
Asked Certain Workers
One official sent in a requiSi.
ton for several persons whom he
knew to have experience in the
particular type of work to be un-
dertaken as a CWA project under
his supervision. Instead, he said,
Ruml sent him workers who knew
nothing of the type of work.
The official telephoned Ruml In
regard to the matter, explaining
that he was seeking the particu-
lar persons he had in mind be-
cause Of their experience and not
for personal or political reasons,
and saying that he was unable
to use the workers sent to him.
He was informed, he says, that
assignments are made by Ruml
and his staff and that, in effect,
he would have to take the per-
sons sent him.
Take 1t Up Monday
This official has complained to
Melvin c. Hazen, president of the
Board of District Commissioners,
who plans to take the matter up
officially Monday. Hazen will con.
fer with Commissioner George E.
Allen, who is directing the CWA
works here, on the matter.
A similar miXup arose some
days ago when DR.. George F.
Bowerman, public librarian, asked
to retain several persons whom
he had trained in library work
under the relief work projects.
He was told he could not keep
the workers he had trained be-
cause they were not employed on
projects which were admissible
under the CWA..

CLEANERS RIFT
W|DENS OVER
PRICE FIXING
Local Board Sets Minimum
for Especial Service" As
NRA Row Continues

While NRA authorities and Off
cials Of the cleaning and dyeing
industry batled over the legality
Of the action, the local board
charged with administering the
cleaning and dyeing code in the
Washington area yesterday set
minimum prices for special cne-
day service" in cleaning mems
and women's clothing.
Approving the fixing Of prices
for ordinary service, such NRA
authorities as Deputy Admin,stra-
tor H. B. Ludlow nevertheless
strongly opposed the setting Of
minimum charges for special
work"
Industry Split
An example of the prices is
that Tor mems suits, which will
be cleaned for 95 cents, regular
service" and $1.20 for "one-day
service"
The action also instigated war
fare within the ranks of the
industry itself.
Carl Belts, assistant to the di-
rector of the National Cleaners
and Dyers' Institute, said he had
warned the local board to cease
the listing of minimum prices
for the special work.
Territory Affected
Opposing him was v. 6. Pot
ter, chairman of the local board,
who claimed that the action had
been sanctioned by the code au-
thority for the industry. The
area affected by Potter's ruling
includes Washington, Fairfax and
Lou1oun counties in Virginia, and
Montgomery, Prince George IS. CAL
vert, Charles and st. Mary'S coun-
ties in Maryland.

SALARY ST|RS
D|SCONTENT
Pioneer Democratic Women
Feel Selves Sighted in
Favor of Young Girl

Publication of the $3.50 salary
received by Miss Frances M. Rob
inson, personal assistant to Recov-
cry Administrator Hugh S. John
son, and the generals subsequent
defense of his assistant, is causing
ing considerable discomfort among
Democratic women, it was re-
vealed today.
The wome mare incensed, it was
learned, to discover that a young
girl is receiving so large a salary
whereas the party workers who
have toiled in the past few years
in their States are being neg
lected in the matter of jobs.
The general himself receives
$4,000.
The women are incenSed, it was
fled for some time, in view of the
fact that few patronage positions
have been distributed among
feminine deserving Democrats.
They claim that, except for the
original precedent-breaking ap-
pointments of Miss Frances Per-
kins as Secretary of Labor and a
few others, the positions meted
out have been inconsequential in
number and in Importance.
Miss Mary w. Dewson, director
of the woman's division of the
Democratic National Committee,
has been striving for some months
to place the many women who
have worked for the party, but
she has been blocked by many
department heads in her efforts.
