WORKMEN BACK
At S1.25 HOUR

TWenty-nine carpenters who
walked off the job yesterday at
the Internal Revenue Building ad-
dition, Tenth Street and Pennsyl-
vania Ave-, threatening to tie up
construction, went back to work
today after the contractors
agreed to pay the $1.25 scale
demanded.
With the carpenters, there we're
IS laborers, who struck yesterday
in Sympath with the carpenters
protest against wages of $1.10 an
hour, the PWA scale.
Union headquarters announced
John McShain, Inc, general con-
tractors, had agreed to make the
$1.25 scale retroactive to Nov. Is.
McShain company officials would
not discuss that phase of the set
tlement, merely announcing:
"AlI the men are back to
work and construction is going
on as usual"
The company said there were
about 100 men, including laborers
and skilled hands, on the job.
All the strikers we're employed
by the Washington Steel Form
Co., one of the McShain sub
contractors. The walkout followed
three weeks of negotiation. The
$1.10 scale had prevailed since
the steel company started erect
ing concrete forms last month.

r. H. Eva, 49, Takes
Own Life by Gas

Two traffic bureau policemen
battered down a rooming house
door early today in an effort to
rescue a man from his gas-filled
room. The man was dead upon
arrival at Casualty Hospital.
Responding to a call from a
landlady in the 400 block of Sixth
st. N. w., who said she Smelled
gas in her home, the officers
traced the fumes to a third-floor
room, but found the door locked.
Forcing the door, the police
men, H. L. Thompson and H. D..
Clark, found Richard H. Eva, 40,
unconscious in his bed.
Coroner A. Magruder MacDon-
aid is investigating.

TAKO|NA To GET
TRAFFIC CODE

With plans complete for the
adoption of new and more drastic
traffic regulations for Takoma
Park, Nd, Mayor Frederick L.
Lewton and the town council
have called a special open meet
ing for tonight in the town offices
in the Citizens Bank Building,
where arguments for and against
adoption of the new regulations
will be heard.
If adopted, the new regulations
will enable the town police to en-
force present State traffic regula-
tions, as the town rules will con-
form with the State traffic laws.
They will become effective De-
cember Is.
It is understood that other town
ordinances are being drafted to
give the mayor and council power
to draft and enforce such other
ordinances as may run in line
with other State or county laws.

D. c. Mental Test
For Traffic Foes

Convicted traffic law violators
may be forced to take a mental
test if a suggestion of Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer
is carried out.
Mr.. Van Duzer has indicated
that he may recommend such
procedure to the traffic advisory
council. If a violator failed to
pass the test he would face sus-
pension or revocation of his driv-
ing permit, the director added.
Such a system would bring
about noticeable reduction in
the number of traffic mishaps
and deaths here, Mr.. Van Duzer
believes.

CONDEMNATION
SEEN IN STAND
Of SEN. LOGAN
Spirit of Wholesale Dismissal
Plan for patronage"
Stirs Sharp Attack

An expression from Congress
condemning the policy of whole
sale dismissals of Civil Service en-
ployes, such as resulted from the
McKellar patronage rider" is ex.
pected to be urged at the coming
session,
This was indicated today in the
views expressed by Senator M. M.
Logan Cd, of Kentucky, who said
he would vote for such proposal.
He added he believed such a propo.
sition should be presented.
Hits McKellar Rider
Senator Logan expressed bitter
to the spirit of the Nc.
Kellar rider, declaring:
81 am a member of the Senate
Committee on Civil Service,
which heard the testimony on
which Senator McKelIar based
his grounds for the rider.
81 heard the testimony and, as
view it, there was no justifica.
ton in that testimony for such
wholesale dismissal of Civil Ser.
vice employees as was brought
about by the McKellar rider.
Il favor Civil Service and do
not think it is right for Con-
gresS to take the action it did
in this matter.
URGES REPEAL
1T sets a bad precedent, and
/ would favor a proposal which
would declare it to be the policy
of the Congress not to enact .
such legislation in the future.
Of course, too, I think the Nc.
Kellar rider should be repealed.
But my most serious Objec-
tiOns to the rider are based on
the precedent that it sets unless
we announce a policy for the
future against such acts.
"By announcing such a policy
we do not give any assurance
that similar legislation will not
be passed in the future, but we
do all that we can toward pre-
venting a repetition of such
action"
The Kentucky Senator added
hat he believes the rider was
without the proper con-
sideration" being given to it, ex.
,ept, perhaps, by the Apropria-
lions Committee, and he said he
believes that that committee acted
in approving the rider.
Of course, he added, the Senate
accepts the recommended
lions of the committees in these
instances, and it was up to the
committee to have stopped this
rider.

Says:
"ANCHORs AWEIGH"

After all these years, the
Navy football team finally beat
the Army on the wettest field
in history. Well, if the Navy
couldn't beat 'em on the water,
they'd never beat 'em.
The weather was SO stormy
that even the Navy flagship,
Berries, couldn't land. The fu-
ture admiraIs had to depend
on their Cutter.
1t was just another case Of
"yOuth will be served. Il un-
derstand that several Of the
Army players had already
reached the "retired age"
so REMEMBER:
The Army mule has no kick

years, the Navy Goat hasn't

Rocks were encountered in the at
tempt to cut ornaments by limiting

The United States, which, used to
have a representative on the commit
tee, believes that on account of the
difference in costs in various coun-
tries Gin the United States soldiers
and sailors are paid more than In
other lands, for example) 1t is not
practicable to compare ornaments by
comparing their costs.
Japan, Germany and Italy also are
of the opinion that budgetary nmita-
ton is not possible at this time.

mament cuts through budget limita-
lions are not practical.
Though the experts gathered from
various countries have been wrestling
with figures daily since the conference
began In 1882. there never has been
an outburst of impatience by any
delegate.
They haven't gotten mad at one
another as men sometimes will who
are doomed to daily discussion OF q
disputatious subject. On the con-
trary. they established such a fine
feeling of brotherhood that they
formed a little club.
Apparently, the experts, staggered
by the huge sums expended in prep
aration for or against war, found a
fraternity based on the hope that
something will be done about it."
This amazingly long and detailed
investigation which Is now completed
revealed one or two other things. One
was the seeming completeness of bud
getary details furnished by the big
powers. There were no evidences OF
attempts to conceal amounts expended
for military purposes.
The military budgets of 81 states
were examined and generally in the
presence of special expert sent by
the country whose budget was under
scrutiny. The committee examined
10000 mimeographed pages of ma
terial which flowed in from all cor
ners of the world in answer to 400
questions
