While this will maze for difficulty
in handling and preparing it for mar

about up to par.
Curing already is in progress in
some instances over the county, but
this is confined largely to bottom

to damage, and are being harvested
as the only way of saving them. Cur

Colladay Tells Commissioners His
Group Will Oppose Any Total
Over $46,OOO.OOO.

E. F. Colladay, president of the
Washington Board of Trade, today
notified the Commissioners his or
ganization will oppose vigorously any
increase beyond $46,000,000 in the
District budget for 1899.
His letter to the Commissioners
followed publication of newspaper
stories that the District auditor esti-
mated gross revenue of $50000,000 for
the fiscal year 1889, and that the bud
get, therefore, could be increased to
that extent.
Ii the new tax bill is going TO raise
10000, 900, Colladay said, the Com
missioners should forthwith look to
plans for the reduction of the tax bur-
den rather than the approving of new
ways to spend money or accumulate
surpluses."
ut has been the understanding of
the public in general and of this Or
ganization In particular" Colladay
wrote, that the new 1887 tax act
was intended to raise only an amount
necessary to meet the current emer-
gency, the budget for the fiscal year
1898.
The amount of the budget for
the fiscal year 1899 should not be
based upon the auditors assumed
maximum revenue to be raised by
this emergency act. The 1889 budget
should be held down to the amount

LEWIS Is JOVIAL
AFTER CONFERENCE
Tells Press He and President Dis
cussed Matters of Mutual
Interest.

President Roosevelt and John L.
Lewis, chairman of the c. /. O., met
today for the first time since the
latter's Labor day speech in which he
was critical, by implication, OF the
President.
The meeting was in the Presidents S
Office, and the two sat talking for
nearly an hour. They evidently parted
ss good friends, because the bushv-
haired labor leader was in the best
OF spirits when interviewed by news
paper men outside of the executive
Office.
Lewis said he and Mr. Roosevelt had
very pleasant conference" discuss
ing a number of matters of mutual
interest. Asked if any reference was
made to his Labor day speech. he
smilingly replied that he had nothing
further to say.
A query as TO whether the President
called him John" during their chat
evidently amused the labor leader, be-
cause he laughed out loud.
1t was said at the White House that
the engagement was made at the re-
quest of Lewis three weeks ago, in ad-
vance of the Labor day speech, ir
which the c. l. o. leader asserted
that 1T i'll behooves one who has
supped at labor's table. and who has
been sheltered in labor's house, te
curse with equal fervor and fine im-
partiality both labor and its adver-
saries when they become locked in
deadly embrace"
Prior to his talk Mr.. Roosevelt hac
used the Shakespearean quotation, "A
plague on both your houses" with
reference to extremists in the recent
steel strikes.

CITY HEADS POWER

King Will Back Plan to Ex-
pand Control, Even Over
School System.

Expansion of the powers of the
Commissioners in connection with
rather extensive reorganization of the
District government will be urged at
the next session of Congress by Chair
man King OF the Senate District Com
mittee, he disclosed today.
Senator King called on the Com
missioners this morning and promised
them he would fight for adoption of a
reorganization program which would
include the following:
1. Placing of complete control over
the school system in the hands Of the
Commissioners, including appoint
ment by them OF members Of the
Board Of Education.
2. Placing complete control over
the playground and recreation facili-
ties in the hands OF the Commission
ers, to supplant the present efforts
for coordination of facilities now di-
vided among the Commissioners, the
School Board and agencies under the
Interior Department.
F0nce merger.
8. Merger of the Park Police with
the Metropolitan Police, as a further
move toward Capitalization of
authority in the Commissioners.
4. To deprive the Board of Public
Welfare of its present administrative
powers and transfer them to the Com
missioners, leaving the Welfare Board
to serve only in an advisory capacity
S. Establishment of a District civil
service administration. which would
be separate and distinct from the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion and controlled directly by the
Commissioners.
Senator King recalled that these
proposals have been advanced in the
past and that Congress had failed to
act finally on any of the suggestions
He told the Commissioners he would
introduce the. necessary bill or bills
and said he had hopes Of action at
the next session.
Seeks New Authority.
I'VE have municipal administra-
ton headed by a Board of Commits
sioners who now are held responsible
when anything goes wrong or goes
undone and I am convinced the Com
missionefs should be given authority
commensurate with their RESPONSE
bilities," said Senator King.
Senator King proposed several years
ago coordination of the play
grounds operations, and out of the
debate that resulted came the forma-
tion OF a committee representing the
Commissioners. School Board and
agencies under the Interior Depart
ment which is seeking to effect a CO.
ordination of the playground opera
tions. Louis Barrett was installed as
playground co-ordinator but the va
rious playground agencies os far have
retained jurisdiction over their own
facilities.
Senator King said that was wrong,
that the proper way to effect co-ordi-
nation would be to centralize the au-
thority in one place and he insisted
that the proper place was the District
Building.

Increase for A. F. of L.
BY ]. A. FOX,
Staff Correspondent OF The Star.


PHILADELPHIA, September 49,
A brief furry over the Committee for
Industrial Organization marked the
annual convention of the American
Federation of Government Employees
today as one of the delegates vigorously
protested an increase in the per capita
tax which goes to the American Fed

used TO fieht another organization"
The objector was William Mollen-
hauer, jr., representing Farm Security
Administration and Forest Service
workers of Huntingdon, Pa, whose
remarks followed the action Of the fed

tutional prohibition against strikes and
picketing In the Government.
Rebuked by President.
Mollenhauer accused the federation
Of being more interested in warning on
similar groups than in correcting en-
ployment injustices. For that he was
rebuked by President Charles I. Stem
gle, and also drew an attack by
Thomas j. Breslin of the District of
Columbia "for his c. I. O. lecture. ("
Mollenhauer said the Federal groups
should cooperate for their mutual
benefit.
The A. F. G. E. increased it's per
capita tax from l cent to cents per
month per member last Spring, when
other A. F. of l.. affliates did likewise.
The Huntingdon delegate said his
lodge backed the objection he made.
The convention today adopted reso-
lutions urging that age be no barrier
to promotion if the employe is other
wise qualified and opposing forced
reductions in any reorganization pro-
gram other than on the basis of ef-
ficiency. The age resolution came from
the Commerce Department Lodge,
which charged that through at 40"
policy was being enforced generally
for promotions.
Without any debate, the session ap-
proved a committee report in oppo-
sition to raising the pay of the presi-
dent from $4,000 to $500 and that
OF the secretary from $4,000 to $500.

Cross-currents of accusations, de-
mails and unwillingness to comment
were complicating today the situation
caused by charges that Hugo L. Black,
recently appointed associate justice
of the Supreme Court, holds life
membership in the Ku Klux Klan.

detailed discussion of the case until
the new justice returns from holiday
trip to Europe, the North American

ing the original stories of disclosure
quoted DR.. Hiram w. Evans, imperial
wizard of the Klan, as denying any
knowledge of past membership on the
part Of Black and claimed there is no
such thing as life membership card
in the order.
Meanwhile, several of Blacks for
mer colleagues in the Senate took an
immediate position in the controversy,
two calling on him to resign his court
post and two others who supported
his confirmation telling the Associated
Press they would not have so voted
If it had been proved that the Ala
baman was Klan member.
The demands for his resignation
came from Senators Copeland of New
York and Walsh of Massachusetts,
both Democrats, while two others of
his own party, Senators Moore of
New Jersey and McAdoo of California,
said they would have voted against
confirmation if present charges had
been substantiated at that time.
Bankhead Denial Cited.
Senator Moore added that Black
should be given an opportunity to
afdrm or deny the charge, recalling
further that Senator Bankhead ot
Alabama had specifically declared on
the floor that the present justice was
not a Klansman.
From q House member, Representa-
tive Mccormack, Democrat, of Massa-
chusetts, also came demand for fur
ther inquiry into the charges. In a
letter to Senator Ashurst, Democrat.

to the American people to make this
