BRIDE SEEKS LIGHT
ON PAY FOR LABOR
Corporation Counsel Plans
Public Hearing in Order
to Settle Claims.

Unable to learn by private inquiry
what the prevailing wage" for common
labor in the District is, Corporation
Counsel William w. Bride said today
he would call public hearing on the
question soon. and arrive at a decision
on the weight Of evidence offered.
He must settled the rate in order to
adjust claims of workers on a District
school construction job that they were
underpaid by the contractor, the Cata-
lano Construction Co. Of Baltimore.
Under the law, the contractor must pay
contractor paid IS cents per hour and
the workers claim the prevailing rate IS
IS to so cents.
Today Mr.. Bride, after receiving q
great deal Of conflicting information,
put the question up to Howard T. Col
win, commissioner of Cancellation at
the Labor Department. Colvin was
unable to say what the prevailing rate
was.
Are Not Organized.
It is believed the real difficulty In the
way of finding rate for common labor
here Is that it IS not organized. The
Labor Department, in every case where
the District has asked for a ruling on
scales for the building trades, has set
the union scale as the prevailing"
wage. There is an international union
Of common laborers, with headquarters
in Quincy, Mass, but they have no rep
resentation here, and hence no union
scale. Mr.. Bride, however, has been
in correspondence with its national
officers, who will proably be asked to
testify.
May Exceed 40 Cents.
It Is believed that whatever scale Is
selected will be above 40 cents an hour,
at least from August l forward The
dispute under settlement relates to
wages paid as far back as May. The
reason for the rate above 40 cents after
August Is the blanket National Re-
covery code, which will be regarded as
establishing a minimum of 40 cents per
hour after that day. The rate to be
set by Bride is the prevailing" and not
the minimum" rate, so that 1t ap-
pears likely that it will go above 40
cents.
Mr. Bride said It was practically Ger
tain that the rate for hod-carriers
would be set at rs cents, q figure men
toned by Mr.. Colvin. The contractor
in this dispute paid IS cents, but had
only two hod-carriers on the job.

MURDER INDICATED
IN WOMAN'S DEATH
Mrs. Helen Cooley, Found in
Floor of Room, Dies of
Skull Fracture.

The possibility of murder in the case
Of Mrs. Helen Cooley, IS. of lll4
Eleventh street, who died early today in
Emergency Hospital, appeared stronger
this afternoon when Deputy Coroner c.
j. Murphy reported an autopsy had re-
vealed the skull fracture which killed
her probably had been inflicted some
hours before she was discovered yester-
day afternoon on the floor Of her ROOM
ing house quarters.
DR.. Murphy also said the woman had
suffered a deep bruise on the thigh
within "a hours before her death at
the hip and shoulder within the last
two days and about the legs before that.
The conclusion, skull fracture and
cerebral hemorrhage which caused her
death might have resulted from a
blow or severe fall as far back as early
Tuesday, the report said. To complete
the report blood samples and the
womans stomach will be sent out for
chemical analysis to determine If
poisoning entered into the case.
While not necessarily indicative Of
death by foul play, the autopsy spurred
detectives on in their efforts to trace
the source of rumors that Mrs. Cooley
had been assaulted by a man several
days ago, and to determine her activi-
ties and companions in the hours pre-
ceding her death.
Mrs. Cooley was found late yesterday
when Mrs. Josephine Bowyer, a. Of
1902 Massachusetts, avenue, a friend
called to see her. Mrs. Bowyer sum-
moned the fire rescue squad after her
efforts to revive her friend failed
Shortly after Mrs Cooley was taken
to the hospital, Mrs. Bowyer disap-
peared and was not found again until
early today when she returned to her
apartment, where an all-night police
vigil had been kept. She told police she
and her husband had been sleeping in
Potomac Park to escape the heat. She
was taken to the second precinct and
to headquarters for questioning and
later released.
Police learned from her that Mrs.
Cooley had not been well for the past
few weeks and within the last three or
four days had complained of pains In
her head. She denied that Mrs. Cooley
ever told her anything about being
beaten by man, as was at first re-
ported.
Meanwhile detectives took into Gus
madam who occupied the apartment
next to Mrs. Cooley, and held him for
investigation. They said they were not
satisfied with his answers to their ques-
lions and wanted to check up on him.
Miss Jane Farmer, 1900 block
Eleventh street, another woman friend
Of Mrs. Cooley, also was Intercepted,
but was unable to throw any light on
the circumstances surrounding the
death She was not held
Detective Sergt. John Wise Of the
homicide squad, who began the investi-
cation of the case, said Mrs. Cooley Is
believed to have husband, James, who
lives in Memphis, Tenn. A
About 10 months ago, Mrs. Cooley
and her husband lived together here in
a boarding house In the 1900 block Of
Twelfth street, according to informa-
ton received by police. She was at one
time employed as beauty shop op-
orator here.

DAIRY SUSPECTED
OF EVAD|NG TAXES
Seal to Tell Senate Commit.
tee and Commissioners of
Money Shipment.

Evidence tending to show one large
dairy concern operating here has
evaded payment of intangible personal
property taxes during recent years will
be laid before the Senate District Com
mittee and the District Commissioners
soon by Assistant Corporation Counsel
Elwood H Seal
The data, disclosed in a report to
Seal at special session with auditors
at $50 o'clock last night, will be for
warded to the District Committee for
its guidance in action that may be
taken in connection with its study Of
milk prices in this area Seal has been
acting as aide to the Senate Committee
in the milk investigation.
Uncertain as to Course.
There was a question in the minds
Of District officials today as to what
action they might take, since there
always IS the question Of whether such
actions are in technical violation of the
law and whether it could be proved
there was an attempt to evade tax pay
ment
Seal reported today that auditors
who have been checking the books of
local dairy concerns in connection with
that one dairy concern at the end of
June in each CT the last four years had
drawn checks for large sums Of money
on deposit here and sent them to New
York. The personal tax returns for
July l therefore would show a CORE
spending decrease in the amount Of
moneys on deposit here, he said The
auditors report showed that few days
later large sums of money held by the
concern in New York banks would be
returned to deposit here.
Seal said the auditors study showed
in this one case the concern had re-
moved from deposit here during the
past four years total of about $780,
600. He figured tax on such a sum
would total about $4,000.
Tax Evasion Suspected.
The question in the mind of Seal and
officials of the District tax assessors
Office is how many other instances there
might be Of similar transactions They
said they believed the movement of
money was accomplished to evade or
reduce the amount Of taxes paid here,
but that there was a considerable ques-
ton as to how such intentions could be
proved.
Seal is engaged this week in rounding
up numerous phases of his investiga-
ton into the milk situation for pres
entation to Chairman King of the Sen
ate District Committee. He hopes his
auditors will be able this week to COM
plete their analysis of the books of the
larger Washington diaries. He already
has at hand evidence showing that one
concern during recent years made net
profits on invested capital ranging from
8 to 40 per cent.
Seal also is preparing a lengthy list
of dairy company officials and others
interested in the milk investigation who
either will be subpoenaed or asked to
appear voluntarily at hearings before
the Senate Committee.

SEAL PROBES REPORT
OF CUT-RATE MILK HERE
Investigates Story Local Dairy Has
Offered 1O-Cent Price to
One Customer

Assistant Corporation Counsel Elwood
H. Seal, who is investigating milk prices
here for the Senate District Committee,
has begun an investigation OF a
report that one local dairy has offered
to sell milk to one of its customers at
the rate of 10 cents quart.
The information came from another
dairy, which formerly had been patron
lied by this customer, who told OF the
offer from the second concern to sell
milk to her at the cut rate.
Several weeks ago Seal revealed that
a number of milk consumers here were
getting their milk for II cents quart,
whereas the standard rate was 10 cents.
The explanation for the preferred list"
of customers was that they were larger
consumers than the average.
