GotWals Replies to Protest
Against Clark as Head
of Wage Board.
TRADES COUNCIL HOLDS
CHAIRMAN UNFRIENDLY
Engineer Commissioner An.
nounces He Will Direct Policies
in Interest Of Workers.

Assurances that the Wage Compli-
ance Board, created yesterday by the
Commissioners to protect labor against
the "kickback" practice of contrac-
tors, would operate in the interest of
labor was given today by Engineer
Commissioner John C. Gotwals after
spokesman for the Building Trades
Council had protested against selec-
ton of Capt. Howard F. Clark, As
sistant Engineer Commissioner, as
board chairman
Objection to the appointment was
voiced by John Locher, secretary of
the Building Trades Council, who
contended Clark had demonstrated
he was unfriendly to union labor and
was not in sympathy with the union
scale of pay.
GotwaIs TO Direct Policies.
Maj. Gotwals said he saw no reason
for labor to object to Clark as chair
man and pointed out that he him
self would direct the policies of the
board. Organized labor just recently
expressed confidence in Maj. Gotwals
In asking his continuation as Engin-
eer Commissioner beyond his present
term, which expires next Saturday.
The purpose of forming this board
is to stamp out practices OF con-
tractors of forcing their workmen to
refund portions Of their legal pay and
of engaging in other means of defeat
ing the prevailing wage law" Mai.
Gotwals said. We hope labor will
cooperate with us, for they can rest
assured this committee will seek to
protect their interest"
Locher Issues Statement.
Locher said the work Of the Wage
Board, with Capt. Clark at its head
would prove meaningless" He added
that If Clark is to continue as board
chairman, the council would not care
to devote any particular efforts in
cooperating with the board in seek
ing to protect workmen against vari-
Gus illegal practices said to have been
followed by contractors on District
government jobs.
Capt. Clark said he had no state
ment to make in reply to the Locher
attack
Differences between the council
executives and Capt. Clark date back
to the time of the civil works pro-
gram and there was an occasion re-
Gently when wage scales for the
emergency works program were con-
Sidered.
Locher served with Capt. Clark on
wage committee which established
wage scales for the work relief pro-
grams. Locher said he gained the
impression that Clark was not sym
pathetic" with the unions. However
union wage scales were adopted.
The Wage Beard will hold its first
meeting at pm. Tuesday. In addi-
ton to Capt Clark, members of the
board are w. H. Wahly, assistant cor
poration counsel; Roland Brennan,
chief clerk Of the engineer depart
ment; L. P. Robertson. engineer of
highways: L. c. Wormington, assist
ant building inspector, and E. D.

Obtain Signature.

Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
will go to Boston Monday. accom-
panied by lawyers for the Chesapeake

the decree in the telephone rate case
before Justice Jesse C. Adkins for sig
nature.
Justice Adkins is on vacation in

In Boston to sign the decree. The sig
nature is formality necessary before
the telephone company can perfect its
appeal.
The decree puts into effect a 10 per
cent reduction in telephone bills in the
District dating back to October. 1882
and makes provision for a distribution
to customers of the retroactive amount
OF the reduction
Justice Adkins had sustained the
telephone company against an effort
by the commission to compel it to
credit interest on its depreciation re-
serve. Therefore the commission to-
day rescinded the order by which it
sought to put the interest charge into
effect and this will play no part in
subsequent appellate procedure in the
case.
