WORKMEN AVER
VIOLATION Of
WAGE LAW
Construction of School May
Lag if Building Contractor
Is Proved Guilty

Possibility thai work on the
new colored vocational school at
Twenty-fourth and H Streets
Northeast may be stopped as a
result of reports that carpenters
on the job are being underpaid
was admitted by District officials
today.
Carpenters on the school have
charged that they are being paid
less than the 81 prevailing wage"
as provided under the Bacon
Davis law and that when one Of
their number complained he was
dismissed.
Two Affidavits Filed
AL Klint enberg, in charge of the
construction, has denied the
accusation, maintaining that all
carpenters on the job are being
paid full wages.
Two affidavits from former en-
ployes on the building have been
filed with Corporation Counsel
William W. Bride, charging that
they were employed as carpenters
at only so cents an hour and that
they were dismissed when they re-
fused to sign cards rating them as
carpenters helpers"
John Thomas, Berwyn, Nd, an
other former employe on the job,
said carpenters on the work are
being paid at the rate of go cents
an hour, at the same time being
forced to sign statements that
they are receiving 81 an hour.
The men are afraid to complain,
he said, for fear of dismissal.
Thomas said he was fired when
he complained.
Nichols Office Used
Thomas also charged that the
men are paid in the office of
Roland Nichols, inspector from
the office of the municipal archi-
tect and that Nichols has two
brothers working on the job.
Nichols admitted his office was
used and that his brothers work
for the Catalano Construction Co.,
Baltimore, which is building the
school.
He denied that his brothers
employment had any effect on
his attitude. Director of Construc-
ton Harold w. Baker has an
nounced he will investigate this
angle of the case and said he may
require that either Nichols or his
brothers quit.

DOUGLAS ORDER.
CALLED MERE
POSTPON|NG
Budget Director WithhoIdS
okay Till Public Works
Board Makes Study

District officials still were hope
full today of getting ultimate ap-
proval of Lewis w. Douglas, die
rector of the Bureau of the Bud
get, to their request for the right
to use $1,500,000 gasoline tax sur
plus funds for highway work.
The fund is provided in the
1884 District appropriation act,
which provides that the fund may
be used with Douglas approval.
Two items, $575000 for the CAL
vert Street Bridge and $4,000
for work on Constitution Avenue,
are specifically mentioned in the
act.
Douglas said that he might re-
verse himself later, but added
that the public works program
was under consideration now and
that he wanted to see where we
are going"
D. G. Heads in Favor
The District Commissioners
some time ago sent recommended
tionS to Douglas seeking authori-
zation for these two projects and
other work to be done under the
act. In refusing to permit the
work Douglas wrote:
II must advise you that I feel
I must be guided very largely
by the opinion of the Public
Works Administration. Until
that administration has studied
the national situation and
formulated its plan, and par
ticuIarly until we have more
light upon the whole of the ex.
penditures which are to be
made within the District of Co
lumbia, 1 do not feel that can
properly pass upon your recon.
mendatiOnS."
THINK 1T POSTPONEMENT
District heads interpret this to
be a postponement rather than q
refusal of the work and holding
plans in allegiance temporarily to
await further action by Douglas.
The refusal of the Budget Blu
reau head to approve the gasoline
surplus expenditures came to the
attention of the District officials
some days ago, but they withheld
it from publication "for fear Of
offending" the Bureau of the
Budget.

REVENUE AIDES
On THIN ICE

Twenty employees in the Wash
ington office of j. Enos Ray, new
Collector of Internal Revenue, are
wondering how long their jobs
will last.
The 20 employees, the entire per
sonnel of the local office, are
almost all non-Civil Service, with
the result that they may be dis
missed at any given moment.
Ray has been besieged by men
and women seeking jobs and,
according to a recent announce
ment by Senator Millard E,
Tydings CD of Maryland, the
new collector will have COM
plete charge of the distribution
of patronage.
There have been rumors that
Ray will make as few personnel
changes as possible, but nobody
is sure of his plans.
Thus far, he has made a few
appointments and also some dis
missals in line with the Govern,
ment economy program.

D, c. To BENEFIT
BY PARK PLAN
HELENA

The District of Columbia will
benefit enormously from consoli-
dation of the Office of Public
Buildings and Parks with the In
terror Department, Horace M. AL
bright, national director of the
National Parks Service, today pre-
dicted.
The greatest advantage citizens
here will derive from creation Of
the new Buildings, Parks and
Monuments Commission, he said,
will be naturalization of Govern
ment parks here, which should
draw to Washington many more
visitors than in the past.
Distribution of films, booklets,
and other information describing
the natural beauty of District
parks will do much, he believes,
to create greater national interest
in the Capital.
Another advantage of the new
organization will be it's represen-
tation on the Presidents Cabinet
by the Secretary of Interior. This
should play an important part in
securing for the District much
needed funds, Mr.. Albright be-
lieVeS.
