LOCAL LABOR
FIGHT LOST

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, Sept. 30.-An attempt of the
Building Trades Club Of Airing
ton county to have the County
Board Of Commissioners make 1t
compulsory for all county building
projects to hire local labor and
adhere to a set wage scale was de-
feated here yesterday.
The action came after County
Manager Frank C. Hanrahan ex'
planned to the commissioners that,
while he was in favor of such a
proposition so far as reasonably
possible, an ordinance to this ef'
feet would destroy the advantages
Of competitive bidding.
Mr.. Hanrahan explained to the
commissioner that tvery effort
was used on every contract
awarded by the county to employ
local labor and pay what was con
sidered a fair wage, but that
where an outside contractor sub
mitted a low bid for a county prof
ect, to be carried through accord
ing to strict specifications, the
county is without power to dc
more than recommend these points
to any contractor.
After lengthy discussion Of the
request, members Of the board
tabled the request from the trades
body and failed to take any action
on the issue.
