CATALANO ARGUMENT
FAR FROM SETTLED
Corporation Again Seeks Sanction
ing of Lower Pay for
Bricklayers.

The row between the Catalano Con-
struction Corporation and the brick
layers it hired to build school build
ing for the District appeared as far
from settlement as ever when for a
second time yesterday an effort was
made to get the Commissioners to sane
tion lower pay scales for the bricklayers.
The effort was made by William F..
Kelly, lawyer for the Globe Indemnity
Co., which underworld the building
contract. The Commissioners, how
ever, did not alter their former ruling
that the bricklayers are to be paid $1.50
per hour or S12 for an eight-hour day.
Kelly wants these rates paid only to
bricklayers who have laid 900 bricks in
eight hours. Where less brick is laid,
he wants the pay scale shaded down
accordingly. The Catalano concern
had been paying only 621a cents an
hour when the bricklayers protested.
The Commissioners have impounded
$4,000 of the payments due on the con-
tract September l and will impound
another $4,000 October l and hold
the money until the bricklayers' claims
have been met.

FurIoughed Employees of Agri-
culture Department Are
Kept on Jobs.

The wheat reduction program is alb
sorbing several hundred furloughed
Agriculture Adjustment AdminiStra-
tion employees, it was said today
Approximately 400 workers, many of
whom were furloughed when the cotton
reduction campaign was brought to a
close, have been taken back, and Civil
Service rolls have been drawn upon,
also, it was said.
In the field the program will be ham
died through county agents, but it is
probable that additional help will have
to be employed for them during the
campaign. Work On the contracts will
last from six weeks to three months,
but recurring crop reduction activities
are expected to require the continued
use Of a large force
The unit formerly was working under
high pressure, seven days a week and
three seven-hour shifts a day. This
has been reduced somewhat, although
the three shifts still are working six
days a week. As speed is not so es-
sential in the wheat movement as in
the cotton campaign, it is believed the
driving work which marked the latter
will be relieved somewhat.

where the 7th Marine Regiment is being
modified for duty in the Cuban revo-
luton If called upon.
The trip, which may take them into
action on the fields where Col. Theo-

were in the city on leave, by 80 am.
they had begun to come in, and before

Barracks as the "leathernecks" packed
their sea bags and other equipment
Only few who could not be reached
earlier in the day struggled in around
O'Clock, when leave regularly is over.
Wives and sweetheartS waited outside
the barracks gates to bid the men fare
well, and Union Station concourse again
looked down on affectionate good-bys,
reminiscent of the days of 1917-18 as
the sea soldiers, many of whom have
established homes here, prepared to go
on what may be only the first leg" Of
their journey.
Two officers from the barracks, Lieut.

748 AID APPEALS
ARE FILED IN WEEK
Increase Over 719 for Preceding
Period Noted in Figures
of Halbert.

An increase in the number OF appli-
cations for relief of destitute families
for the District was registered last week,
as compared with the total for the pre-
ceding week, Leroy A. Halbert, emer-
gency relief director, reported today.
During the past week sos new ap-
plications for aid and 242 petitions for
the reopening of old cases were filed,
making a total of TAB appeals. This
compared with TIC appeals filed dur
ing the preceding week, consisting OF
557 new and 162 old cases. The Mon
day holiday this week was believed to
have held down somewhat the increase
in number Of appeals.
When the slight decrease in appeals
was reported last week, showing the
first break in the upward trend since
July 8, Mr.. Halbert warned that the
total for but a short period could not
be taken as definite guide for con-
ditions. In fact, the monthly total OF
expenditures for relief purposes has
increased rather steadily since January
