GAS MERGER BILL
ACTION DUE SOON
Representative Black Sees House
Passage Before Senate
Acts.

Early House action on the bill pro-
viding for the long-Sought merger OF
tho Washington and Georgetown Gas
Light Companies was predicted yester-
day by Representative Black. Democrat,
Of New York. chairman Of the Public
Utilities Subcommittee Of the House
District Committee.
The measure is on the calendar Of
both the House and Senate, but Black
said he expected the House to pass on
1t in advance of the Senate.
The House District Committee ap-
proved the bill during the special ses-
sion Of Congress last Spring after max
ing several amendments in the original
measure.
One of them would prevent the con-
sclidation until the Public Utilities
Commission completes the present re-
valuation OF the gas properties An
other would prevent any individual or
corporation from holding more than
20 per cent Of the stock Of the merged
company. A third would limit the
salaries Of officers or employees of the
gas companies to maximum of $15,-
00c year.
The bill, according to Black, proba-
bly, will be passed by the House in its
present form. In the Senate, however,
Senator Capper, Republican, of Kan
sas is expected to make a fight for an
amendment which would prevent the
use Of going concern" as an element of
value in any future revaluation. In q
minority report. Senator Capper de-
clared the merger would be of no pub
lie benefit If the intangible going con-
cern value provision is not eliminated.
The gas company, it is estimated,
would save between $4,000 and $50,-
600 year under the merger.

SERVANTS PLEAD
|NVA|N FOR CODE
Law Forbidding Agreement
Saves Johnson, Besieged
by Opposing Views.

There will be no code under the
N. R. A. for domestic servants In spite
of q widespread demand for such a
document under the direction Of Gen.
Hugh 8. Johnson administrator.
There is,also widespread demand that
no such code be drafted, and judging
from hundreds Of letters received at
N. r. A. headquarters. housewives as a
whole are just as anxious to prevent a
code as servants are to have one.
The fact remains, however. that
neither demand for nor against such a
code will be given serious consideration,
for at Gen. Johnson'S headquarters
it was explained that two provisions Of
the recovery act make code for do
mestic servants impossible. The flrst
is a specific injunction barring code
for manual laborers and servants, a
provision that places them in a category
similar to that set up for farmers. The
second is that the law requires that all
codes be submitted by industries and
not by labor, and the Recovery Ad-
any Industry that meets the laws
requirements.
Hours and Pay Protested.
There remain, nevertheless, hundreds
and perhaps thousands Of maids cooks,
buffers and chauffeurs who want a
code Among the letters from such
servants there appears an extraordinary
similarity. The grievances complained
against are virtually all of two kinds
too long hours and too little pay.
On the other hand, there Is also q
I marked similarity in all arguments
-,
who have taken the trouble to write
Gen. Johnson pointed out that after
all they could do without their
servants.
Servants complaints can be summed
up in the description Of her job given
by one maid. She rises at am. and
begins preparation Of breakfast.
Washes dishes. Cleans the house. Pre-
pares luncheon. Washes dishes. Pre-
pares refreshments and fixes the tables
for an afternoon bridge tea or party.
Cleans up after the party. Prepares
supper. Washes dishes again. Then,
on some nights, she prepares for an
evening cocktail party or 9 similar So
cial gathering, after which she again
cleans up, getting to bed at midnight.
IS to SO Per Week.
As a climax, the maid cites her wages
of IS to $40 per week.
That story, varied only as to details.
has been told and retold hundreds OF
times for the National Recovery Ad-
minjstration.
Housewives are universally opposed
to the code, and the typical argument
runs about like this: When the Presi-
dents unemployment agreement was
offered the housewife accepted 1t IN
spirit and kept all her servants. Pos
sibly one additional employe was added.
Servants are a luxury, they point out.
After ALL" some of them have written,
I'VE can move into a furnished apart
ment or hotel and take our meals out.
Furthermore, to their salary must be
added board and room. We don't have
to have servants" And, they imply,
If a code Is set up that's just what Will
happen.

death today as Leon Carroll, a., q
striker. died in an Augusta hospital
from wounds received yesterday when
a trapped policeman shot his way out
of crowd of pickets.
Two were killed in disorder at the
Trion Cotton Mills in the mountains
of Northwest Georgia late yesterday.
More than a score we're shot or badly
clubbed and many suffered minor

Two Others Killed.
w. M. Mix, deputy sheriff, and
j. v. Blalock, a Rome, Ca, molder,

The Enterprise mill and the Sibley

about arbitration until the mills are
closed, mean that we shall close the
mills. We are not looking to employ
ers to close them. Leave that to us.
The strike goes oni"
1.-THE President has named board"
German said, (which has power to
investigate, mediate and arbitrate, but
it can arbitrate only when the parties
seek arbitration"
up to this moment we have seen
no sign of abandonment by manage
ment of its imperiouS and arbitrary
character, but management knows
some things today that it didn't ap-
pear to know week ago.
"It knows, for one thing, that the
mills 90 not run without workers and
it knows that the United Textile
Workers Of America are an organized
body of men and women who have
discipline, who have definite aims and
who are determined to achieve those
aims
THE President has acted out of
spirit of helpfulness and because of
his genuine concern for the welfare
OF the workers. We know that. We
are following program which we
believe best calculated to aid the
President in his heroic efforts to bring
about real recovery and I think the
President will fully appreciate that
fact.
I'VE are deeply concerned about
violence in the strike. There has been
an appalling breakdown on the part
of those who should be peace officers.
They have either lost their heads or
they have gone completely over to the
service of mill management, like mer-
cenaries.
Nov, for the United Textile Work
ers of America, I make this proposal
and you can call it challenge If you
like: If the President will bring about
agreement among the Governors that
our members shall be deputized to
enforce law there will be law enforce
ment.
There will not be another single
episode of violence, because we will
see to it that those officials who have
been guilty of killings are kept in
bounds and under control.
1--WE will police the industry and do
it right, without harming a single
person, and, regardless of that, the
moment the mills are all closed and
we are able to devote our efforts to
that end, we shall police the mills
anyway and preserve order. That will

Even the sections that we knew
would lag behind are joining the
strike" he said. To-day the strike
tide is flooding up across North Caro-
line. New England is racing ahead"
An Associated Press survey, how
ever, indicated approximately 336. 900
workers had joined the movement as
the strike entered its fourth day. This
would indicate the walkout was ap-
proximately SO per cent effective over
the entire cotton, wooden and silk
industry, which normally employs in
the neighborhood Of $4,000 workers
