REVIVAL Of WAGE
LAW CHALLENGED
Hotel and Restaurant In.
terests Fight Test on
Back Pay.

Claiming that the recent Supreme
Court decision in the West Coast
Hotel Co. case did not restore the
once -invalidated District minimum
wage law, and that in any event the
decision could not be made retro
active. counsel for hotel and restau-
rant interests today asked Judge El-
len Raedy in Municipal Court to
refuse judgment in two test cases
brought by employees.
The employees. Gertrude A. Perry,
laundress, and Ruth Cornett, waitress,
Have applied to the court for back
wages of several hundred dollars,
representing the difference between
salaries paid them last year and
salaries they would have received If
the sl650 minimum weekly wage
was in effect.
Denies Law Revived.
A brief filed by Joseph c. McGar-
raghy, attorney for the Fairfax Ho-
tel, which employed Mrs. Perry, voiced
opinions counter to those of Attor-
ney General Homer Cummings and
Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal, who
have ruled that the 1918 minimum
wage law was revived by the Supreme
Court several weeks ago. After cit
ing several court decisions in support
OF his stand, McGarraghy said:
ut is respectfully submitted that
the D. c. minimum wage law, having
been declared unconstitutional, is as
though 1t had never been enacted,
and nothing that the Supreme Court
said in case involving the minimum
wage law for the State of Washing
ton could give life to that dead statute
1T is our position, first, that the
decision in the case of the West
Coast Hotel Co. did not restore the
law, and, second. even If the law
is now in effect, said decision did not
restore it retroactively so as to sub
Ject employers to orders entered by
a board which has not been in ex-
stence since 1923, and enforcement
of which orders have been enjoined
since that date"
New Law Held Needed.
II a minimum wage law is to be
put into effect here, the brief de-
clared, new legislation must be en-
acted. Supreme Court decisions were
cited to the effect that changes in
judicial Interpretation of laws can
not impair lawful contracts made
under a prior court decision.
Chief Justice Taney was quoted In
this connection in an old slave case.
The brief was concurred In by
attorneys for Dicks Grill, which was
sued by Miss Cornett.
Judge Raedy reserved decision In
the case, pending q study of the
briefs.

BOARD Jobs ROW
HITS 70 AGENCIES
Independent Offices Bill Tied
Up by Fight Over
PATRONAGE.

With but II working days of the
present fical year remaining innocent
bystanders" in two-score Federal agen-
cies are beginning to worry over the
outlook in view of the continued row
in Congress over Social Security Board
patronage jobs that has tied up the
billion-dollar independent Offices bill
A continuing resolution eventually
may be the way out, but this would
not permit any Of the affected groups
to undertake new work and, in the
meantime. the uncertainty has pre-
cluded any plans for operations after
July l.
Since February Senate and House
Appropriation Committee conferees
have been at odds on this issue. The
Senate group, headed by Senator
Glass, Democrat Of Virginia, is de-
manding three amendments to show
their dissatisfaction with personnel
policies pursued by the board.
Salaries Would Be Affected.
One would cut the salary of Frank
Bane. executive director from some
$4,000 to $4,000 annually: another
would make the salaries of all Eek
perts' conform to classification act
scales. and the third would require all
positions carrying salaries of $1,000 or
over to be filled by the President with
the consent Of the Senate. This would
be retroactive and would give the Sen
ate weapon to remove any appointees
desired and fill the places with persons
OF their own choosing.
The House Committee has been
equally insistent against the amend
ments.. In Bane's case, it has been
pointed out that his salary was fixed
by.statute.
The committee deadlock climaxes q
long period Of i'll feeling in Congress
over Social Security Board appoint
ments. 1t has been said, on good
authority, that this sentiment not only
exists in the Senate but is held in
powerful quarters in the House.
Sharp Questions Asked.
When representatives of the board
appeared at Senate hearing on their
appropriation they were sharply ques-
toned as to methods used in taking
on those employes-experts and at
torneys-who are exempt from civil
service.
The Civil Service Commission passes
on the qualifications of experts, but
the board itself selects the lawyers,
Something over 800 jobs are involved.

The cabinet officer, once a farm

In pioneer times" the Secretary

dividualism meant q lot. You had to

body else from getting it first.
But don't think it will be so I'M

All boys and girls"
General Welfare Held First.
The general welfare is first and
the farm second, Wallace contended,
and the county committees OF the
Agricultural Adjustment Admrinistra-
ton are greatly benefiting persons
living in cities.
Wallace's talk climaxed a morning
devoted to features, discussions and
singing. which at am. brought before
the boys and girls Undersecretary of
Agriculture M. L. Wilson. He said:
Since the very beginning of this
country farmers have been part and
parcel Of the democratic traditions,
The men who founded our Nation
Washington, Jefferson, Mason and the
rest-were farmers. They made
democracy an inseparable part OF
our rural parentage. It Is up to us
to carry on that democracy"
To Discard Traditions.
Democracy of the future, however,
Wallace later said. will be "eficient
democracy" which will spread the
basic need for pleasant living among
all members of our society. whether
in farm or factory.
This efficient democracy, Wallace
said. means dkcarding many of our
traditional ideas, but he added that
