Allen Demands Votes for District
And Representation i'm Congress

citizens living in the District Of
Columbia are not Americans.
Their consent has never been
asked.
CALLED INJUSTICE
"1t is my privilege to serve the
District in an official capacity
that gives me an intimate view
Of this deplorable discrimina-
ton.
"That this country might go
on, refusing a half million citi-
zens the right it gladly extends
to others is an utterly distress
ing thought and a terrible and
grave injustice to an innocent
and deserving people"
Declaring the only course open
Is a Constitutional amendment
giving the citizens of the District
voting representation in the Sen
ate and House, the vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President and the
same rights accorded citizens of
the States in the courts, Commits
sioner Allen ended his address by
saying:
There is not a grain of JUS
tice in a law that repudiates the
political ideals upon whose solid
rock this great country was
founded"

TAKES BRIDE

Charles E. Fairman, art curator
of the Capitol, who will be 80
years old next month, was mar
ried in Annapolis, Md, May 80 to
Mrs. Mary Derrick, 81, it was re-
vealed today.
Mr.. Fairman is one of the most
widely known Of the employees Of
the Capitol, having worked con-
tinouSly for more than a quarter
of a century over the great col
lection of Americana that has
found its way into the building.
While Mr.. Fairman also holds
the position of chief clerk to David
Lynn, architect of the Capitol, he
has for the past decade confined
his work also exclusively to ar
ranging, cataloging and supervis-
ing the placing of the Statuary,
paintings and the other objects of
great value placed in his care.
Several years ago he attained
nationwide recognition for his
book on the art and artists of the
Capitol.
Mr.. Fairman could not be
reached early today. At his office
it was said that he was attending
another wedding.

are not able to give the District
all the attention it deserves.
"The people of the District
have a right to be heard. The
fact that they do not have a
vote is not only unfair to them,
but also to the Congress which
seeks to serve them.
APPEAL ON RADIO
Members of the Senate and
House must also serve their
own constituents. So I strongly
urge the States to support this
movement for national repre-
SentatiOn for the District of
Columbia"
The pleas today followed a
stirring demonstration which at

the delegates to the convention

ference with U. S. Senator Robert
F. Wagner, chairman of the plat
form committee.
A tentative 1886 Democratic
platform, far more liberal than
any in recent history and bearing
President Roosevelt's approval,
was being studied by convention
leaders today while it's resolutions
committee not to hear the public'S
views on campaign issues.
The tentative platform carried
two brand new planks, drafted in
the last 48 hours to offset the
possible appeal of the Lemke-
O'Brien third party ticket. One
was a new monetary plank; the
other dealt with the relief prob,
lem.
The new monetary plank was
silent on gold but pledged the
maintenance of sound currency,
while guaranteeing a dollar of
steady purchasing power" An
effort was being made to include
a reference to managed curren-
cy," the phrase beloved by leaders
of national farm organizations.
Originally, the plank declared
against any return to the gold
standard. This declaration was
said to have been eliminated from
the latest draft.

CLUB TR0|KA HELD
UNFAIR TO LABOR
National Board Finds Firm
Guilty of Union Inter.
ference.

The National Labor Relations
Board today announced that the
Club Troika, Inc, of this city has
been guilty of unfair labor practices
"bv interfering with, restraining and
coercing its employees in the exercise
of the rights guaranteed" to en-
ployes.
Yesterday a trial examiner of the
board made an intermediate report
containing similar findings in the
case of the Nolan Motor Co.
The Troika case involved the dis
charge of one employe and "lock-
out affecting seven others. After
recounting the background of the
case as established by hearings, the
board found:
That the above employees were
discharged because of their member
ship in the union and the activity of
the union is obvious. The motive is
equally clear-the union had sue
ceeded in forcing the respondent to
pay wages to its employees and had
made it impossible for the respondent
to collect kick-backs. The respondent
desired to obtain profits through the
device Of not paying wages, and this en-
gaging business policy was obstructed
by the union. The respondent, with
out attempting to resort to subtle
measures, simply discharged all of
its union employees and thereby hur-
died the obstruction. Few cases be-
fore the board have involved such a
deliberate and open violation of the
act"
The board ordered reinstatement
with accumulated pay to the eight
employees. For another who had re-
signed in protest, the board ordered
reinstatement without accumulated
pay.
The Nolan case involved two en-
ployes who are now back at work for
the automobile concern.
Daniel M. Lyons, the trial exam
iner, found that one of the employees
was discharged and the other forced to
quit because of their refusal to join
in reputation of an agreement with
Local No 1873 of the International
Machinists' Union. The company also
interfered with the rights of its en-
ployes by proposing affiliation with
an employees association rather than
a free union, the examiner found.
Subsequently the two employees
were reinstated. The examiner recon-
mended that the company make up
pay lost between the dates of dis
charge and of the first offer of REIN
statement, and that notice be posted
recognizing rights Of workers to or
ganize and bargain collectively as they
choose.
1t is understood the company al
ready has posted the notice.

Spain War EnIiVemS
Cruise of Lawyer

Jimmy" Kirkland, young Wash
ington attorney, is back in town
a much wiser man, thanks to the
Spanish revolution.
Mr.. Kirkland left town in July
for his annual cruise on one of
Uncle Sans battleShipS, he being
lieutenant, junior grade, in the
Naval Reserve, and he thought he
was embarking on a nice, pleasant
trip to London, Amsterdam and
other quiet ports.
But bloody civil war inter
vened, and the U. S. S. Quincy,
on which he was sailing, was at sea
a brief day and a half, when orders
came to proceed full speed ahead
to Gibraltar.
Outdid Queen Mary
Lieutenant Kirkland relates with
pride that the Nays new 10000
ton cruiser made the 3,200-mile trip
in five and a half days, beating the
Queen Mary'S record of $500 miles
in four days.
And then began the excitement
saving American refugees, seeing
cities bombarded from the sea,
watching cities crumble before
mighty guns.
The Washington times., 1936-09-22

From Gibraltar, the Quincy
started up the Spanish coast, and
at Matril rescued Kansas City
taxicab driver and his Spanish
wife who had been hiding in the
hills for four days. They were half
starved and their clothes were in
tatters.
Took $50 Refugees
Then care MarseilleS, where $50
refugees were taken aboard the
Quincy-and Palma, which has
been bombarded at the rate OF
three times daily-and Algueris,
which was being shelled from the
sea.
But even in revolution there
may be humor, says Lieutenant
Kirkland.
At Gibraltar, for instance, the
officers aboard the Quincy enter
tanned French, English, Italian
and German officers and their
crews, and not being able to offer
these foreigners their favorite
wines, the Americans gave their
guests coca-cola and ice cream.
And they liked it!
