THIRD COMPROMISE
Commissioners to Retain
$1,000 Until Workmen's
Claims Are Met.

The District Commissioners today for
the third time entered into a compro-
mise with the Catalano Construction
Corporation of Baltimore in the long
standing dispute between that company
and the workmen 1t hired to build a
vocational school for colored pupils at
Twenty fourth and H streets northeast.
Twice before the concern had been
ordered to make up shortages in the
pay of its workmen or lose its contract.
The time limit on the second Of these
orders expired last Friday. According
to the companys own estimates about
$4,000 still remains due the workmen.
The compromise reached today was
that $4,000 of District money due on
the contract will be retained by the
Commissioners and released only on
mems claims have been met In full.
No time limit has been set for the meet
ing of the claims.
The claims of the workmen arose out
Of the TACT that the construction COM
pany paid them less than the scales OF
wages for their respective trades re-
quired by the Bacon-Davis act.
Dominic Catalano, head of the con-
struction firm. today informed the Com
missioners that all claims had been
met except for those Of bricklayers en-
ployed by subcontractor and a few
miscellaneous workers of other classifi-
cations, and that the principal reason
for not having paid them of is din
Guilty in establishing the number Of
hours each man worked. The brick
layers are supposed to get $l50 per
hour, but they received 62l2 cents.
The first complaints OF underpay-
ments on this job, made by two car
penters. reached the District Building

Il. s. MAY INCREASE
81 sow PREMIUM
Farmers Slow to Offer Million
275-Pounders Sought to Cut
Swine Population.

BY the Associated Press.
The 81 premium offer for sows in the
Farm Administrators drive to cut
down the Nations existing and poten-
tial swine population may be boosted.
Newspaper men were told yesterday
the boost is being considered because
farmers are not Offering to sell enough
scws to farrow weighing minimum OF
275 pounds. However, according to
Chester Davis, director of production,
the administration still has hopes they
will be lnore speedily offered.
The Government wants 1000. 600
sows. Statistics estimating their pro-
spective offspring believe this purchase
and subsequent slaughter will cut the
potential pig population by from 5,000.-
600 to 100000. and that this will aid
substantially in reducing future ton
nages marketed.
The premiums are offered in addition
to sums the sows bring in the open
market. The hesitancy of farmers in
Offering them is quite In contrast with
their speed in offering pigs weighing
from 20 10 100 pounds, OF which ad-
ministrators plan to buy 100000.
Secretary Wallace said likely reason
for Withholding the sows is that farm
ers like to speculate on the future"
He said they have faith in this pro-
gram" that as result they are holding
their sows expecting their offspring will
bring higher prices later because OF the
dent in prospective tonnage resulting
from the buying program.
The rush of farmers to market with
their pigs has resulted in closing several
markets to shipments until meat pack
ers processing the meat for the govern
ment have time to complete their job.
The edible meat is to be distributed
through the Federal Emergency Relief
Administration to the needy.
All terminal markets will be opened
to buying Tuesday and Wednesday. but
all sales Of pigs must be by permit of
the nearest professor, or its local repre-
sentative to prevent congestion Of termi-
mails and also to spread the opportunity
Of selling pigs among more farmers.

URGES PUERTO RICO
FRIENDS TO UNITE
Miss Engle Proposes Baltimore
Committee to Aid Island in
Recovery Program.
BY the Associated Press.

Organization of a Baltimore Com
mittee of Friends of Puerto Rico" as
a result of a geographical grouping
which several years ago placed the
island of Puerto Rico in the same land
bank district with Maryland. was dis
cussed by Miss Lavinia Engle, a men,
Der of the Maryland Legislature. at a
luncheon party here yesterday for Mrs.
Henry w. Dooley, Puerto Rican welfare
worker.
The object of the plan, Miss Engle
said. is to present an "integrated at
tack" upon the banking. economic and
welfare problems of Puerto Rico.
By a geographical miracle" Miss
Engle explained, Puerto Rico had be-
come ''the southern end of the Eastern
Shore" of Maryland.
When the Federal Land Bank was
organized. Puerto Rico was placed in
the Baltimore district, and the Home
Loan Bank and Internal Revenue fol-
lowed the same course.
Maryland paid scant attention to
this grouping until after the Puerto
Rican hurricane" said Miss Engle.
Then with defaulting bonds and mort
cages. the island became q banking
liability to Baltimore"
She described her own subsequent
studies Of the island and said the entire
country should become more conscious

permanent manner When this Is done
the temporary trestle work under the

this way double track operation. with

Fox. in his story, however, did not
refer to the trials and tribulations of
the reconstruction crews, which de-
layed the opening of the single-track
operation for a day. First, lineman,
stringing wires from a telegraph pole,
was killed when the pole snapped OIL
at its base and crushed him under 1t.
A few hours later huge 30-ton rail-
road pile driver plunged into the
branch. directly in the path of the re-
construction operations.
With the assistance of c. E. Heine-
man, a retired Navy diver. who went
down in 18 feet of water. the pile
driver was moved out of the way Of
the pile-driving operations, but the
weight of the apparatus is so great
engineers fear that it will have to be
cut to pieces with underwater torches
before it can be moved from its bed
on the bottom of the stream.
Only two of the ten wrecked cars and
the locomotive remain to be removed
before the other track will be recon-
structed. but engineers believe that by
the end of the week double-track oper-
alton into Washington over the main
line will be a reality.

WAR Department BARS
FLIGHTS BY CIVILIANS
Lack of Funds Given as Reason for
Prohibiting Use Of Plans In

The War Department has banned
flights by non-military passengers in
Army airplanes.
Due to lack Of funds, it was explained
IN recently issued orders, service for
civilians is suspended until further
notice except in cases of emergency
involving life or catastrophe"
Local airports in Washington and
throughout the country will benefit
by the suspension, for the number of
civilians using Army airplanes has in
creased steadily during the year. Some
Of these have been Federal officials, but
many were friends Of officials who had
influence enough to Commander"

flying centers whenever they wished
to make q flight.
One day last week IA requests for
flights at the Governments expense
were received at the War Department.

FORBIDDEN TO HOLD
"0UTS|DE OFFICES"
Navy Yard Mechanics and
Laborers Affected by
Roosevelt Order.

Mechanics and laborers of the Wash
ington Navy Yard and all other navy
yards, armories and arsenals Of either
the Army or Navy, are forbidden by
President Roosevelt in an executive
order made public today at the State
Department to hold State, municipal
or other local Office while continuing
in the employ Of the Federal Govern
ment.
To accomplish this the President in
cluded this class of employees within
the operation of a 60-year -old executive
order. issued January II, 1873, restrict
ing the political offices which can be
held by Federal officials and employees
Until now the mechanics and laborers
affected by the newly issued order
were net included.
Exceptions Up to President.
Hereafter, if any politically minded
employe at the Washington Navy Yard
is elected to some township Office in
q nearby Maryland or Virginia sub
urb, he would have to appeal to the
President to make an exception in his
case before he can hold offlce If he
wishes to continue on his Government
job.
In years past various Presidents have
permitted Government employees in
Washington hold such offices.
One of the most recent exceptions
which President Roosevelt has made
under the 60-year-old executive order
was in the case of Pref. Raymond Moley,
who has just resigned as Assistant Sec
retary of State. In April Prof. Moley
wished to serve on a New York COM
mission to investigate and collect data
on criminal juctice. Mr.. Roosevelt
issued an order specifically permitting
him to engage in this work.
Local offices exempt from the execu-
tive order are positions on boards of
education, school committees and libra
ries, as well as positions on college
faculties, these not being regarded as
Offices"
Volunteer Firemen Exempted.
No Federal employe is prevented
either from serving in local or State
fire departments provided he receives
no pay for service.
Master workmen in navy yards,
and armories were included
within the operation of the original
order Of 1873 and the effect of the lat
est step is to place mechanics and
day laborers on the same footing.
