CONTRACTOR HITS
RULING ON WAGE
Asks Court to Enjoin En-
forcement of Painters Paw
to ScaffoId Men.

The firm painting the interior Of
the Post Onlce Building asked the
District Court today to enjoin enforce
ment Of Labor Department ruling
that it must pay painters wages to
scaffolding erectors and movers.
The Arm, the Counes & Raptis Corp.
OF New York, contended that the rul-
ing, made by special Labor Depart
ment referee, was arbitrary and ca
pricious.
Asserting that no dispute existed
with its employees, the firm told the
court that Secretary of Labor Perkins
arbitrarily referred the case to Carl r.
Schedler, special referee, to deter
mine whether wages paid met the re-
quirements of the Bacon-Davis act.
Allegedly going far beyond the
scope Of the hearing, Schedler is said
to have defined the term painter to in
clude scaf1olding laborers, at cost to
the contracting firm Of almost $4,000.
Secretary Perkins thereupon ordered
the firm to pay the difference between
painters wages and laborers' wages
to the scaf1olding workers, the suit
stated.
Through Attorneys Christopher B.
Garnett, F. w. Hill, jr., and Philip
F. Herrick the company asked the
court to enjoin Secretary Perkins
from requiring the difference to be
paid and to restrain Secretary Of the
Treasury Morgenthau and Acting Con-
troller General Elliott from withhold
ing payments on the contract to insure
a wage increase.

TO BOOST
RENTS IS DENIED
Real Estate Board Replies
as Wage Board Starts
Survey.

A survey of rents as a major factor
in the cost Of living here has been
started by the Minimum Wage Board
as guide to its decisions as to the
lowest pay that may be permitted In
the future for women and minor
workers.
Some District officials have been
under the impression that the in
crease in the real estate tax rate
might result in a rise in rents, but
members of the Minimum Wage
Board said today the survey has not
been carried far enough to establish
any trend.
Board Makes Denial.
The Washington Real Estate Board,
meanwhile, denied there has been any
concerted effort by its members to
increase rents because of the tax
boost. In statement, Acting Presi-
dent Morton j. Luchs declared there
would be no increase in rents Septem-
Der Is except, perhaps, lin some rare
cases where property owners would
feel that their incomes should be re-
adjusted to present-day conditions"
Miss Gwen Geach, secretary of the
wage board, said last night there were
indications that rents would be in
creased, but explained today that this
was based only on replies from "the
first few" landlords to be questioned.
Will Await Complete Data.
Mrs. William Kittle, board chair
man, said the board would make use
Of the survey data only after the
study had been completed. The board
has asked Miss Mary Anderson, direc-
tor Of the Labor Departments
Womens' Bureau, and DR.. Isador
Lubin, commissioner Of labor statistics.
to cooperate in the survey, which will
include prices Of clothing, food, board,
restaurant prices and sundries as well
as rent.
The first Of q series Of conferences
leading to decisions on minimum
wages will be held after September
Is, Mrs. Kittle announced. This will
be on the costs Of living and the
present wages paid to retail clerks.
Mrs. Kittle said there Is as yet no
way Of forecasting what minimum
wage scales may be fixed by the board.

One word more about sleeping

sively later in close ratio to the dis
tance from Fourteenth and F streets.
This has been shown in other cities.
The fact that the further one lives
from work the earlier one must arise
in the morning Is not an altogether
satisfactory explanation. It has been
shown that such folks as lawyers,
doctors, clerks, etc, in small towns
go to bed the same time as the
farmers.
Some have advanced the theory
that sleep is a psychological rather
than a physiological necessity for the
