PLASTERERS' WAGE
DEMAND ASSA|LED
Menaces Renovize Campaign
President of Employers
Tells u. S. Officials.

The S14-a-day wage asked by Wash
ington plasterers would seriously impair
small building operations and jeoparoize
the objective of the RenoviZe Wash
ington campaign, in the oplnion OF
Logan Pingree president of the Build
ing Trades Employers Association ana
of the Excavators' Association.
In a lengthy communication to Sec
retary of Labor Perkins and Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Robert. 10
whom has been referred controversy
over a prevailing wage" for plasterers
here, Pingree pointed out that tnese
factors should be taken into consloela-
ton in fixing fair rate.
Contracting plasterers are offering a
x1O-a-day wage, and tlle matter awaits
the decision of Secretary Perkins ana
Mr.. Robert.
United States Pay Cuts Cited.
1--WE could not conscientiously ask a
Government worker whose pay has Deen
sIashed IS or 20 per cent and whose
income is much under half OF $l4
day, to employ people who are stu
getting the 1928 rate of pay In dollars
that have a much larger purchasing
value than that of the 1928 dollar, MI
Pineree said. His message to the Gov
I'VE understand thct you have under
consideration the issuance OF a ruling
on a prevailing wage for plasterers IN
the District of Columbia, and that the
plasterers have refused to accept less
than s14 a day. We hope that before
fixing such wage you will take lnto
consideration its effect on the entire
building industry and on the COM
munity.
Because of the high percentage OF
Government building here and because
the prior administration perverted the
intent of the Bacon-Davis law. 1t mas
been possible to impose on the COM
munity and on the Government wage
scale excessively out Of proportion TO
the present value of such work. This
wage is higher than the community
can nav and its enforcement would
Justify Congress in Withholding further
building appropriations here.
Aims of Law Interpreted.
1.-THE wage asked by the plasterers
sounds the death knell of small build
ing operations, so vital to the welfare
Of the community"
Mr.. Pingree said "the Bacon-Davis
law. under which the wage dispute has
been referred to the Treasury and La
bor Departments, was enacted to pre-
vent contractors from bringing migra-
tory labor to lower the wage level and
consequently the living standards in
community. But it has been so con-
strued," he continued, "as to maintain
a fictitious wage level which otherwise
would not have prevailed in the COM
nnunity."

II seems to me there already Is sufici-
ent penalty for the mechanical error
of fumbling Loss Of the ball means
loss Of position on the field, which Is
very important factor.
"Supposing you have the bah on an

you are threatening to score Losing

team can kick deep into your territory.
1t Is likely to give your opponents the

Ending the play when a bali carriers

number Of injuries, he believes and such
q factor toward safety Is not likely to
be abolished.
