Roosevelt Hating Of Allotments
Is Condemned as "Usurpa-
tion of Power"
Hv thA Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., October 23.
President Roosevelt's recent order
that the Public Works Administration
make no further allotments for prof.
ects was condemned as "usurpation Of
power" today by representatives OF
contractors who control two-thirds Of
the construction work In the United
States.
These representatives-the board Of
governors OF the Associated General
Contractors of America-resolved that
the organization "use its best efforts
to secure a reversal Of this order In
order that the p w. A. be continued
with full power"
Most of the P. w. AS projects are
let out to private contractors. while
the Works Progress Administration
performs most of its construction Jobs
on "day-labor" basis. The contrac-
tors called for curb on the w. P. A.
that 1t be limited In its activities to
those localities where emergency still
exists"
Big-time contractors at the meeting
today expressed the view it would do
no good to curb the w. P. A. with the
idea Of getting workmen back on pri-
vate pay rolls If the p. w. A. Is curbed
at the same time.

Gainard Held Conferences.
Incidents Declared Settled.

MONTEvIDEO, October "a tSun-
day. P).-Police said today that
minor incidents aboard the United
States Governments Republic Line
ships Algic and Collingsworth have
been settled.
The police said there had been no
intervention by troops, that the is
sues now were settled and that crews
again were working normally.
The Collingsworth, which arrived
here late Saturday afternoon from
the United States, was expected to
sail today for Buenos Aires.
A brief incident aboard the ship
occurred when local stevedores refused
to unload her because Of what was
said to be a cable from the United
States Maritime Federation.
The cable, it was said, asked the
stevedores not to work aboard the
ship in retaliation for measures taken
in the United States against her crew
for quitting work several hours on the
Collingsworth's last call in Monte
video in sympathy for a strike OF port
workers.
Police petrolled the docks, but the
incident was settled satisfactorily
within few hours and the stevedores
resumed operations.

Among the petitions before the JUS
tices at yesterdays conference was
one which, in the opinion of some
observers, might provide basis for
challenge against Black If he par
ticipated in the action.
1t was an appeal by Haywood Pat
terson, colored man sentenced to
a 75-year prison term for attacking
white woman on a moving freight
train near Scottsboro, Ala, in 1881.

cision permitting the Securities Com

BALTIMORE, october 23.-
Eighteen seamen were charged TO-
night with violating mutiny laws dur
ing a 13,00o-mile round trip to Buenos
Aires.
The men all were members of the
crew Of the freighter Algic, beset with
labor disputes, deaths and desertions
on the southern voyage from Balti-
more.
Fourteen sailors were arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner
James K. Cullen tonight and held
under $1,000 bond each for hearings
November 2. They said they would
communicate with their union locals
to obtain counsel.
Fugitive Warrants Issued.
Fugitive warrants were issued for
the four others. Three were listed as
deserting in Brazil, the other as hav-
ing Jumped ship" at Jacksonville, Fla.
The warrants made no specific
charge of ''mutiny" but cited sections
of the law relating to "mutiny" as
having been violated.
Mariners said 1t was the first time
the mutiny laws had been used in
criminal action since 1920.
The warrants charged the men with
conspiring to deprive their captain of
authority in foreign port.
The charges were based on asser-
tions by Capt. Joseph Gainard that
the men refused to obey orders in
Montevideo, Uruguay.
Gainard said the men struck there
in sympathy with strike of steve
dores on the Montevideo docks.
Gainard Held Conferences.
Issuance of the warrants followed
conferences Of Capt. Gainard with De-
partment of Justice agents and repre-
sentatives of the Federal Maritime
Commission.
Gainard previously had told a Fed
eral Bureau of Navigation and Inspec-
ton board of troubles on the voyage.
The Federal Bureau of Navigation
and Inspection turned the vessels
troubles over to the Department of
Justice yesterday after an inquiry into
labor difficulties. The bureau said the
gravity" of charges showed probable
cause" for action on criminal charges.
