After expressing opposition to the

tion last night adopted resolution
fayoring a jitney bus system here.
Mrs. Marie Flynn Maddox, who

tion could, for nominal fee, pick up
other passengers wishing to reach a
similar point.
A report submitted by A. B. Carly,
chairman of the associations Taxa
ton Committee, asked larger Fed
eral contribution for the District,
with no increase in taxes. The report
was adopted.
Mrs. Margaret Hopkins Worrell,
president, was given a vote of thanks
for having secured from Congress the
$4,000 appropriation used in con-
nection with the G. A. r. convention.

BOARD TO ENFORCE.
i. s. CONTRACT ACT.
Warns Manufacturers Eva
sion May Run Them AfouI
of Anti Trust Laws.
BY The Associated Press.

ey the Associated Press.
A newly board plunged to-
day into its job of enforcing the
Walsh-H -Healey law requiring concerns
which do business with the Govern
ment to observe certain labor stand
ards.
The boards chairman, Frank
Healey, WAS on record with a warning
that evasion of the law by manu-
facturers might run them afoul OF
the antitrust laws"
Lacking funds from Congress to pay
the enforcement body Secretary Perk-
ms named three experts of her Labor
Department as members of the board
yesterday, and had them loaned" for
the job.
Secretary Perkins said the board will
not attempt to establish minimum
wages in industries where wage rates
are consistent with standards of
decent living. Contractors receiving
about S380000,000 annually from the
Government will come within the
boards jurisdiction, she said.
The boards mandate from Congress
requires that holders of certain Gov
ernment contracts in excess of $40 900
shall maintain prevailing wage rates,
pay overtime for all work over eight
employ no workers under certain age
limits.
A few hours after their appoint
ment, the three board members
Healey. Hugh L. Kerwin and Telfair
Knight-opened hearing on the plea
of the Cotton Textile Institute for a
s0-day exemption of cotton textile
manufacturers from the minimum
age rule for girl workers and the
eight -hour-d day rule for certain other
workers.
The board said other hearings, COW
ering exceptions asked by window
sash manufacturers, lumber brokers,
copper and brass foundries and ma
chine factories, may be held shortly.
After Frederick w. Morrison, coun-
sci for the Cotton Textile Institute
told the board manufacturers might
evade the act by selling to dealers
who would contract with The Govern
ment, Chairman Healey, answering a
query Of labor union representative,
said:
1T might be possible to defeat the
purpose of the act through concerted
action by the employers of given
industry, but that would run them
foul Of the antitrust laws"

SWANSON EMPHASIZES STAND
Says U. S. Is Prepared to Match Pacific
Building Activity.

Warning indirectly against disturb
ance of the present status of forth
fications in the Pacific after expira-
ton Of the Washington Naval Treaty,
Secretary Swanson indicated today
the United States was prepared to
match the building activity of any
other power in that area.
The State Department disclosed
today it was studying a communica-
ton from Great Britain, addressed
also to Japan, proposing continuation
OF the present status OF fortifica tions
in the Pacific after the Washington
naval treaty expires his year.
Beyond this, officials refused to
comment.
Earlier official statements had in
dicated that the United States did
not intend to take the initiative in
any move toward extending 1.-The
status quo" provision regarding forti-
fications, but that it would be re-
ceptive to any overtures flom the
two other powers for a discussion of
the subject. t
Secretary Swanson at his press con-
ference said: r.
"Fortiflcations are intended to an
swer Notifications One menace
must be met by another menace"
Both the Secretary and Admiral
William H. STANDBY, chief of naval
operations, who sat at the Cabinet
members side during the conference,
emphasized that formulation of
American policy toward fortification
of its Pacific possessions must await
expiration of the treaty unless some
new understanding was reached
meanwhile. They indicated the
United States would take no initia-
tive in the matter.
Swanson, asserting I'VE must wait
and see what happens" added that
the United States, even if it decided
to proceed with fortification work,
could do nothing about it until Con-
gress provided an appropriation
In response to questions he said
the Navy Department had no infor-
nation Japan already had begun to
fortify certain of the islands appor-
toned to it in the Pacific under a
League of Nations mandate.
