Public Works Administration, en-
ployed in BeltSville, Md, under
supervision Of the Department Of
Agriculture, have received no pay
since March /, it was learned to.
day from farm officials.
Reason for the situation, it was
said, is the fact that the en-
ployeS all in "white-collar" po-
sitions, have not been properly
classified under an executive or
der from President Roosevelt.
Several hundred skilled and un-
skilled laborers are not affected
in the mater since they need not
be classified. Those who have
not been paid include supervisors,
clerks, stenographers. and fore
men.
Agriculture officials said that
they hoped to have the trouble
cleaned up by tomorrow so that
checks can be given the workers.
They are employed on the i'm
provements to the agricultural ex-
pertinent station at BeltSville,
authorized under o PWA appro-
priation. About $4,000 is owing
the employees, 1t was said.

FURTHER MEETINGS
MAY DECIDE SCALE
Naval Construction Program De-
layed Over Wage and Labor
Problem.

Further conferences may be held
Monday by officials endeavoring to
settle the problem of wages and labor
conditions that should govern the
Navy's new shipbuilding program, for
which bids are scheduled TO be opened
August Is. The program amounts to
approximately $50,000,000
The Navy Department was repre-
sented today as still optimistic that
the questions would be worked out.
The conferences during the past few
days resulted from the letter of
Chairman Walsh of the Senate Labor
Committee to Secretary Swanson,
urging that awarding of the contracts
be held UP until the labor terms to
govern the building Of ships are ad-
justed. The Senate committee was
asked to intercede by labor officials,
who testified that the Industrial Re-
lations Board contemplated by the
N. r. A. shipbuilding code had not
yet completed the working out Of de-
tailed rules and regulations.
There we're reports today that with
President Roosevelt back In the city.
the White House may be consulted as
to what course should be followed in
determining the labor provisions to
apply to the naval construction pro-
gram.

WRIT TOPREvENT
P|CKET|NGAVO|DED
Group Agrees to Withdraw
Guards Pending Hear
ing on Injunction.

Diplomatic handling Of labor dis
pute in District Supreme Court today
averted the issuance of a temporary
restraining order which would have
prevented New Negro Alliance, Inc,
from picketing an ice cream store at
312o Eleventh street, operated by L.
w. High, who allegedly had refused
to employ colored help when requested
to do so by the alliance.
High, who operates 26 stores in the
District, filed suit for an Injunction
on the compliant that the alliance
had been picketing this store and
threatening to picket others, seriously
interfering with the conduct Of his
business.
After hearing the dispute today,
Justice James M. Proctor announced
he would issue temporary restrain
ing order against the alliance unless
that organization would voluntarily
agree to withdraw its pickets until
August %, when a hearing on the Is
suance OF preliminary injunction
win be held.
Attorney B. w. Lawson, jr., after a
conference with his clients, an
nouneed the alliance would agree to
these terms, and Justice Proctor then
withheld issuance of the restraining
order.
Highs suit, filed through Attorney
Philip Rosenfeld, claimed the pickets
were physically hindering and har-
RAISING his patrons, and that the al
lance had threatened to use the same
tactics in connection with several
other stores operated by him.
He declared the trouble was pre-
cipitated when he refused to dismiss
white employees in stores patronized
in part by colored people, replacing
them with colored help.

PRESIDENT UNMINDFUL
OF CONSTRUCTION NOISE
Roosevelt Demonstrates on First
Night Back That He Is
Sound Sleeper.

President Roosevelt demonstrated
on his first night back in the White
House after his long vacation trip
that he is an unusually sound sleeper.
Last night was set by the contrac-
tors rebuilding the executive office for
the tearing down Of the entire south
wall of the Office building. But Mr..
Roosevelt's sleep was not disturbed in
the least by the noise, not only Of
the razing of the wall. but from the
excessive tapping of the air drills be-
ing used in removing the reinforced
concrete.
Before retiring. the President was
told about the night work and assured
that it would be Cancelled If he
thought it would interfere with his
comfort, but he laughed at the idea.
The Presidents bed room is on the
South side of the White House near
the west end, thereby making it close
TO the construction work.
