BRIDE POWDERS
WAGES ROW

Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride today studied evidence pro-
duced at hearing yesterday on
wage-cutting charges against the
Catalano Construction Co., of
Baltimore, to determine what
course of action he will recon-
mend to the District Commits
SionerS.
Several carpenters on the job
at the new Phelps Vocational
School, Twenty-fourth and H
Streets Northeast, testified they
were paid so to so cents per
hour despite the fact that their
employment cards called for 81
an hour.
Bricklayers on the job said
they were paid 6212 cents per
hour instead of the prevailing
scale o. $1.5O; laborers said they
got Is cents instead of IS, and
hod-carrierS said they were paid
IS cents instead of the GUS
tomary IS.
Dominic Catalano, head of the
construction company, through
Attorney David Wiener, intro.
duced testimony of three work
men that they were paid 81 an
hour for carpenter work. They
admitted, however, that they were
engaged in the same type of work
as the other men who received
only so cents.

drys will abdicate at once Because the voting as it
moves from State to State, is definite threat-the
Eighteenth Amendment will again be observed
by the people who have voted against it.
Practical politics implies knowing when to quit as
well as knowing when to stick If the prohbitioniss
think more of their than of the country, they
carry their campaign and block repeal The
net total result will be profound division in the coun

they will not try to pit 13 States against the rest of the
country.

Il don't belong with the rear
guard. I'd rather be like the old
bards who marched in the van,
with their song rousing the war
riors to battle" Unfortunately,
however, the character of Niels is
dropped at an important historical
turning -point-the Russian Revolu-
ton and the period of actual revo-
lutionary crisis which swept through
Europe after the war.
AS matter of fact, the conclu-
sion of the volume as a whole is
left in midair. In all likelihood this
is not the end of the story Of the
people of Oster-Vester, but is in
tended simply as the first volume
of another huge Nexo epic, like
the authors four-volume master
piece Of the Danish labor move
ment, 'Pelle the Conqueror," and
his three-volume study of a domes-
tic servant, "Ditte"-both of which
may be read in English rtanslations.
