GOTWALS GIVES
EVIDENCE ON
''K|CkBACK'
Engineer Commissioner Tells
Walsh Committee to Keep
Out "PuSherS" Here

Recommendation that Congress
pass a law requiring contractors
to hire local labor to keep out
"puShers'-workerS brought IN
who do so much work others can
not compete with them-waS
made by Engineer Commissioners
John C. Gotwals, as the Senate
"kickback" investigation opened
today.
The hearing is being held be-
fore the Senate Education and
Labor subcommittee headed by
Senator David 1. Walsh CD OF
Massac chuSettS.
So Contracts; II Complaints
Since the Davis-Bacon labor law
was adopted, So contracts have
been awarded here, Major Got
walls said, 81 to local contractors
and 81 to outside contractors.
There have been II "kickback"
complaints.
He also brought out that Pres
ident Hoover had been cognlzant
of the "kickback racket" having
issued an executive order in 1882
that "the prevailing wage should
be paid without reduction or re-
bate on any account"
The contractors claim that
they brought only "key men"
Major Gotwals said, but added
that they seemed to have "a
fearful number of keys"
Although mass of charges that
the kickback racket has been prac-
ticed on numerous local and Fed
eral construction projects in the
District were laid before the COM
mittee when the resolution au-
thorizing the investigation was
pending, Senator Walsh asserted
that he anticipates that additional
witnesses will testify today to
other complaints.
Walsh Urges Speed
Witnesses are believed to be pre-
pared to testify to the effect that
labor organization heads sold jobs
to workmen on the projects in
question.
Senator Walsh said he desires
to get the hearings under way i'm
mediately, so that they may run
for a few days and then be discon-
tinued for about two weeks so that
subcommittee investigators may
utilize the time in accommodating
additional evidence.
The Massachusetts Senator,
meanwhile, will go to his native
State to attend to some business
pending there, as he has not re-
turned to his home since the
adjournment of Congress.

u. s. DONATION
|SSLASHED
To HALF
Future Contributions Must Be
Matched DoIIar-tor-D r-DoIIar
BY District

The Federal grant of 1881 900
for next years road and street
work in the District of Columbia
is Just half the amount granted
for the current year, and this fact
will neceSsitate laying off be-
tween so and 100 expert street
men at some time in the coming
IL months.
Furthermore, it was learned at
the District Building today that
this sum is the last outright grant
of money from the United States
Government.
Must Match Donations
If Uncle Sam gives the District
of Columbia any large sum OF
road money next year it will be
under the terms Of the new road
act which provides a $3.50 con-
tribution on the part of the Dis
trict of Columbia and all other
States and Territories.
This is done, it was said today,
to make the States "stop chiseling
on their gas taxes" It was ex.
planned that as soon as the United
States began helping States and
cities build roads, the States be-
gan to use their gasoline taxes
for purposes other than road build
ing. All the harried State treas
urers began to take the automo-
bile drivers gas taxes and pay
salaries, build schools, and in
general fill depleted treasures.
Uses Fund on Roads
In the case of the District of
Columbia it was pointed out to-
day by Capt. H. C. Whitehurst,
in charge of highways, that local
gas taxes have been used for
purposes specified in the law only.
This year $730,00O of work on
bridges and bridge highways came
out of gas taxes.
All told, money available for
road and street work in the Dis
trict this year is about a million
dollars below normal, but is .
part of the current ten-year pro-
gram, in which it is expected a
full program of work including
new streets and roads will be
completed.

Corn-Hog And Wheat Reduction
Contract Requirements Changed

The following letter was just re-
ceived from Columbus regarding
the production of crops on farms
under contract with the Agriculture
al Adjustment Administration:
Word has just been received from
Washington announcing the modifi-
cation of all wheat, corn-hog, and
tobacco contracts in every state, to
remove all restrictions on the plant
ing and harvesting of all forage
crops on all general or non-con-
tracted acres on. farms under ad-
justment contracts. Fodder, corn
and grain sorghums may also be
planted for forage at dates to be an
nounced later Restrictions on the
use of contracted acres are also
modified to permit the planting and
harvesting of all forage crops ex-
cept corn and grain sorghums and
to permit without restriction pas
turing of the contracted acres and
harvesting of hay from those al
ready seeded.
The removal of these restrictions
under the contracts should go q
long way toward relieving a serious
situation and should place contract
signers in more favorable position
in relation to non-signers. Geo.
Everhart, County Club Agent.
