PROTESTSL LIMIT
SHRINE STANDS
Merchants in Three Avenue
Blocks Successful in Pre-
venting Erection.

The District Commissioners today
declined to approve erection Of spec
tators' stands for the Shrine parade
here next month on the north side
Of three blocks of Pennsylvania ave-
nue., because Of protest from mer-
chants in these locations.
The stands over which there were
objections were to have been built on
the north side Of Pennsylvania avenue
between Sixth and Seventh streets,
Ninth and Tenth streets and Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets.
The plan of the Shriners was to
build stands on both sides of the
avenue from John Marshall place to
Fourteenth street. The price would
be $3.50 per seat, this covering three
parades. Higher prices were fixed for
seats in the Court of Honor, opposite
the White House.
The stands will be built on the
south side of the avenue and on the
north side except for the three blocks
in which the merchants objected and
a block between Eleventh and Twelfth
streets, for which the Shriners die
not ask permission.
Permits for the whole system Of
stands were issued by the District
but with the proviso that the consent
Of merchants would have to be OBJ
tanned for the three main blocks. A
survey, made under the direction OF
Capt. William e. Holmes of the first
precinct, showed about 90 per cent
of the merchants protested. it was
reported today. Many of the mer-
chants plan to build stands IN their
show windows, it was reported.
The Shriners hope to meet some
Of their convention costs out of the
receipts Of their stand rentals, it was
said.
The Commissioners said they had
not been requested to close the District
Building during the period of the
parade SO as to keep spectators from
ending places In the building. Whether
District Government employees may be
excused during parade periods so as
to view the procession has not been
decided, officials said.

TRANSIT COMPANY
PETITION REFUSED
by COMMISSION
Replacement Program to Go
Through by December.
81 to Aid Recruiting.
C0UNTER-P PROPOSALS
MAY BE Reviewed
Officials of Firm Will Be Granted
Argument on Special
Projects.

The petition Of the Capital Transit
Co. for cancellation of the order re-
quiring replacement Of street car rails
and special track work costing ST.
$50 600. was rejected yesterday by the
Public Utilities Commission.
The commission ordered this work
completed by December 81 next, with
the objective Of placing the street car
rerouting plan into effect by the flrst
Of next year.
The commissions order affected ap-
proximately 81 miles of track. In
filing the petition late yesterday for
cancellation Of the order, the company
claimed about half Of the projects
ordered either were not necessary or
should be postponed to await rerout-
ing or because of the inability Of
manufacturers to produce the special
work within the time limit.
Modification Was Asked.
The company asked that the order
be modified, If not Cancelled. SO as
to cut the program Of work down to
meet 1.-The needs" of the company and
the physical capacity Of the two
manufacturing firms doing this type OF
production.
The commission today did not agree
to modify its order. but informed the
company 1t would consider counter
proposals as to q half dozen or so
special projects, II company oficials
could present arguments to show the
necessity for changes in plan.
The company's major argument
was that the two firms could not pro-
duce the special work fast enough to
enable completion of the program by
the end of the year. Richmond B.
Keech. the commissions vice chair
man, said the company would be told
the commission believes the program
Is susceptible Of consummation." In
other words. the commission wants
the company to put all possible pres
sure on the manufacturers to get out
the necessary rail construction.
Program Meets Accord.
The program proposed by the COM
RokAy Ava AVPAoSSA44CAAt Va WOAh~OoS
rails, according to commission figures,
amounts to about 100000, or about
one-third Of the commissions pro-
gram. President John Hanna of the
transit company said the company
had made, and would continue to
make. every effort for speeding COM
pletion Of the program. In q press
release he said: "Since the formation
Of the Capital Transit Co.. it has
spared neither effort nor expense to
improve service.
I'VE already have expended for new
buses, the improvement of tracks,
shop facilities and other items ap-
proximately $1,400000. The main
tenance and rerouting work scheduled
by us for this year will cost approx
imately $1,576,000. Other rerouting
work, most Of which cannot be done
this year, will cost approximately
$625, 900 additional.
We will have delivered within the
next month or six weeks 20 street
cars, which will cost $3.50 900, and ex-
pect shortly to order additional bus
equipment costing 100000"

Money or Extra Carb.
Vas Engaged.

Miss Alice Elizabeth Colquitt, II, OF
1922 Irving street, granddaughter OF
q former Texas Governor, has been
the object of a search by police and
private detectives since her mysterious
disappearance here on the evening Of
April 80, it was learned today.
The last trace of her was through
special delivery letter sent to her
mother, Mrs. Elise Roberts, from
Alexandria, Va. two days after Miss
Colquitt left. Both her mother and
Investigators have been puzzled as to
her whereabouts and reason for
leaving.
Miss Colquitt. who was graduated
from Roosevelt High School last Feb
ruary, had been worried because she
was unable to find work after finish
ing school and appeared respondent.
her mother said today. d.
Later Letter Promised.
The letter sent from Alexandra
told the parent: II have been in the
dark. I am working and want to
make good" 1t then added she would
communicate with her mother again
in several days.
The letter, Mrs. Roberts said, did
not sound like her daughters wording,
and this led her to believe it had been
dictated. As a result, the mother is
fearful the girl may have met with
foul play.
All the girls friends. Mrs. Roberts
said, have been questioned and none
could shed any light on her disap-
pearance.
Miss Colquitt's grandfather in Texas
is oscar B. Colquitt, former Governor,
who is a friend of Senator Sheppard.
Miss Colquitt has lived in Washing
ton with her mother since a young
child.
Some months ago she was chosen,
because of her beauty, by students
and teachers of Roosevelt High School
to pose for portrait painting by a
widely known artist. The portrait
subsequently was placed on exhibit
in a downtown department store.
Senator Sheppard, Mrs. Roberts
said, conferred with local police officials
regarding efforts to find Miss Colquitt.

STRIKE TIES UP
HOSPITAL PROJECT
As Laborers at Glenn Dale,
Nd, Demand 10 Cents
an Hour Increase.

Construction of the 100000 addi-
ton to the Children's tuberculosis
Hospital at Glenn Dale, Md, was tied
up today when As laborers went on
strike for an increase of 10 cents in
their hourly rate The laborers now
are paid As cents per hour and are
demanding the prevailing union wage
in the District.
Negotiations over the dispute have
been under way quietly several weeks
the principal issue being whether the
District Government can require the
contractors to employ Washington
men exclusively on a project In Prince
Georges County and whether the Dis
trict can require the contractors to
pay the prevailing wages OF Wash
ington.
District officials persuaded the con-
tractor, the Northeast Construction
Co., to agree to employ Washington
men exclusively and to pay the WASH
ington prevailing scale for all the
mechanics. The contractor refused,
however, to pay the District prevailing
scale for common labor, unless he Is
ordered to do so.
The IS laborers walked out today
after the strike was called by Larry
Kelly, business agent for the Laborers'
Union. He said If the contractor en-
gagged non-union men, he would ask
the Washington Building Trades Corn-
Gil to call on the mechanics to aid IN
the fight. There are about 80 me-
chanics on the job.
The project, which is about 20 per
cent completed, Is being built under
q District appropriation, and District
officials say the Bacon-Davis prevail
ing wage applies. They argue they
cannot compel the contractors to pay
more than the prevailing wage In
Prince Georges County.
Kelly charges that District ofhcials,
prior to award Of the contract, prom
Used that Washington scales would be
required. He insisted the District had
full authority to order this.
It is expected District officials will
try to open negotiations for settlement
Of the dispute.
Engineer Commissioner Sultan said
"the action of the common laborers'
union has deprived District citizens
of their Jobs and given them to nom
residents of the District
Declaring this project comes under
the Bacon-Davis act, rather than
p. w. A. rule, Sultan said this act
requires that the contractor pay the
prevailing wages in the political unit
or subdivision thereof In which the
job is located. There is no way under
the law for the District Commissioners
to require the contractor to employ
his labor from the District.
1.-THE Commissioners cannot require
the contractor to pay any scale Of
wages other than that prevailing in
the political unit in which the job
is located. As q matter Of fact. the
contractor is paying the full WASH
ington union scale for every class Of
labor except the lowest class Of COM
mon labor.
1.-THE rates being paid skilled labor
are higher than the current rate being
paid even on p. w. A. contracts In
Prince Georges County at Hyattsville.
