REPORT PREPARED
IN U. S. LABOR ROW
Engineers Hold Conference
to Aid Treasury in
Wage Ruling.

A group of construction engineers
from the Office of the supervising
architect, went into conference early
today at the Treasury Department to
prepare report on the carpenters
wage dispute on six Government
buildings here, with view to helping
the Treasury make decision on car
penters' prevailing wages under the
Bacon-Davis law.
About 334 carpenters were out of
work on six buildings in the city, locked
out, according to the union, and on
strike, according to the contractors,
over the question of differences in
wages to be paid. Sub-contractors on
the six buildings are offering to pay
So q day, which the union men refuse,
while the carpenters are asking $11 a
day, the union scale, which the con-
tractors refuse to pay.
Report Prepared.
Under the Bacon-Davis prevailing
wage law, the controversy is now in
in the hands Of the Treasury Depart
ment for decision as to what is the
prevailing wage here. The construc-
ton engineers made comprehensive
investigation Of both public and private
work Saturday, and went into confer
ence at the Treasury to prepare a
special report for the acting supervis-
ing architect, James A. Wetmore. and
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Heath.
Meantime, contractors stated that no
men had been put on any of the jobs
at So and gradually the work on these
six buildings is being tied up. The
first trade to be put out Of work be-
cause Of the carpenters being off duty
was the concrete men, because the car
penters prepare the forms into which
the concrete is poured The next
craft to be affected would be the stone
masons, 1t was explained, and If the
situation continued much longer, an in
creasing large amount of work would
be tied up.
Union Heads Confer.
Henry w. Blumenberg, general rep
resentative of the International Carpen-
ters' Union, returned to Washington
today from Baltimore and again went
into negotiations with his union leaders
here on the matter.
1t was expected that Assistant Sec
retary Heath might be able to hand
down a decision today setting a pre-
vailing wage for carpenters, but it also
was predicted that whichever side was
would appeal direct to the
Secretary of Labor.
Under the wage law, the Secretary'S
opinion is final in such a controversy.

DODDS QUITS POST
ia is.,sr WITH BURKINSHAW
Assistant Attorney General and
Special Aide in Justice Depart
ment Frobed F. H. Smith Co.

Nugent Dodds, Assistant Attorney
General, and Neil Burkinshaw, a spe-
cial assistant, today submitted their
designations to the Department of Jus
tice to 60 into private law practice.
Dodds and Burkinshaw first came
into prominence here when they began
their investigation of the F. H. Smith
Go. in 1928. Dodds was then special
assistant to the Attorney General, while
Burkinshaw was serving as an assistant
to United States Attorney Leo A. Rover.
After prolonged investigation they
prepared case which resulted in the
prompt conviction of three officials of
the Smith company following a trial in
District Supreme Court
Both Dodds and Burkinshaw were
widely commended for the manner tn
which they prosecuted the trial, and
their subsequent promotions to the
posts they vacated today resulted largely
from their handling of that case.
They also were in charge of the in
Hestigation Of the collapse of the
Ewartzell, Rheem & Hensey Co., which
resulted in the entering of a plea of
guilty by the chief executive of that
concern. They will have offices in the

Stin Accept Democracy.
The sound instinct Of the American
people still accepts democracy. In de-
termining its merits, as in every other
problem, regard must be had for the
ponderables and the imponderables.
Judged by the former only, our faith
in democracy would be weakened, for
be doubted. But the American people
still believe in it because of a great
imponderable, that it is the only form
OF Government consistent with the self
respect OF proud people, that it gives
hope TO the masses and raises them IN

DR.. SMITH TO STAY
IN POWER BERTH
Probably Will Remain Chair
man More Than Half of
R00SeveIt's Term.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
George Otis Smith, Republican
probably will remain as chairman OF
the Power Commission for more than
half of Franklin D. Roosevelt's four
year term in the White House.
There are two vacancies on the COM
mission, however, which if filled by
Democrats, will give that party bal
ance of power. At present there are
two Republicans and one Democrat.
DR.. Smith was appointed chairman by
President Hoover for a five-year term
which expires in June, 1895.
Appointments Held Up.
The two vacancies were created
through Senate failure to confirm the
reappointment of Marcel Garsaud OF
Louisiana, and through the ceath OF
Ralph B. Williams on of Washington
State.
President Hoover has appointed
Frank Clark, former Representative
from Florida, and Representative
Arentz of Nevada, defeated for re-
election. Senate Democrats, however,
until after March 4.
Besides Dr. Smith, the commission is
now composed of Frank r. McNinch of
North Carolina a Democrat and the
vice chairman, and Claude L. Draper
of Wyoming, a Republican. McNinch
serves until 1884, and Draper until
1886
The first few months DR.. Smith
served on the commission were turbu-
lent ones. An effort was made by the
Senate to remove him after he had
been confirmed and had taken the oath
of Office. The Supreme Court upheld
his right to the Office.
Removal proceedings were initiated
by the Senate after DR.. Smith, Draper
and Garsaud had voted at an organiza-
tion meeting to dismiss Charles A. Rus
sell, the commissions solicitor, and Will
liam v. King, its chief accountant.
