|Wa|sh.Hea|ey
Act Applying in
dc. Gravel Bids
New Specifications
Invoke Restrictions
On Wages, Hours

Revision of their specifications for
the purchase of sand and gravel
used on Government work here was
ordered recently by the Commis-
sioners in a manner which would
bring the terms of the Walsh
Healy Act into play, 1t was disclosed
today at the District Building.
The Walsh Healy Act requires
compliance with the Government
wage and hour restrictions in all
cases in which the contract price
amounts to $4,000 or more.
The Commissioners recently ad.
vertised for bids for quantities Of
sand and gravel estimated to be
needed for the remainder of this
fiscal year. One Of the bidders was
the Smoot Sand g. Gravel Corp,
which inserted in its contract offer
stipulation that the amount 1t
would contract to supply would not
exceed, In price, $9,999. The other
bidder was the Massaponax Sand &
Gravel Corp. The bids were re-
jected, 1t being reported that the
prices offered were the same.
Bids Called as to Volume.
The Commissioners thereafter re.
vised their specifications, calling for
the supplying of a total of 0,450 tons
of sand and gravel divided into two
sections, and carried a stipulation
that the District might elect to take
either Is per cent more or Is per
cent less than the estimated amount.
In the past the practice was to stip-
ulate that the District could buy
any quantity it thought it needed or
none, If none was needed. There
was also a provision that the con-
tractor could reduce considerably
the amount sought by the District.
District officials reported no offers
were received when the second set
of bids were to be opened, and 1t
was announced today a third set of
bids have been advertised, these to
be opened at 10 am. November Z.
Hours and Wage Minimum.
Under the Walsh-Healy Act, in
contracts calling for payments of
$4,000 or more, there is provision
that, in the manufacturing work of
the contractor, the contractor shall
not pay his employees less than
minimum wages determined by the
Secretary of Labor Another pro-
vision is that the empolyes shall not
be worked more than eight hours q
day or more than 40 hours a week,
except under certain conditions
which bear the approval of the Sec
retary of Labor.
Other provisions are that the con-
tractor-employer shall not employ a
male person under 16 years of age

Unions Pursuing
Adjustment Over
1eamsters' Dispute
Committee Decides
National Policy on
Member Alignment

Adjustments in union control of
operation of power-driven construc-
ton machinery throughout the
country were underway today fol-
lowing yesterdays decision by a
special committee Of the Building
Trades Department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, designed
to settle long standing jurisdic-
tional dispute between the Interna-
tional Union Of Operating Engineers
and the International Brotherhood
Of Teamsters.
A committee Of three, headed by
William L. Hutcheson, international
president of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and joiners, decided
that:
l. All power driven equipment
that is used exclusively as a vehicle
to transport any materials or other
matter for building or other con-
sEuction work comes within the
jurisdiction Of the teamsters and
chauf1eurs.
2. All power-driven equipment
used on any and all types Of build
Ing and other construction work, in
cluding any and all power-driven
equipment that has been in dispute
between the teamsters and engi-
neers, comes within the jurisdiction
Of the International Union of Op-
Grating Engineers.
Teamsters officials said that the
decision did not affect the fight here
with the engineers over operation of
concrete-mixer trucks, which they
claim on the basis of a decision
handed down nearly two years ago
by DR.. John A. Lapp. national ref
cree Of the Building Trades Depart
ment Of the A. F. Of L.
Committee members did not elab-
crate on the decision, which, both
engineers and teamsters agreed
settled jurisdictional differences over
operation of important construction
machinery throughout the United
States and Canada.
The row in the District over opera
ton of concrete-mixer trucks has
resulted in District Court action
against the teamsters, based on q
Justice Department charge of viola
ton Of the antitrust laws.
Joseph A. Padway, chief counsel
OF the A. F. of L., has asked the court
to quash grand jury indictment
based on the charges.

Chest Advance Gift
Unit Seeks $521,000
Goal This Week
1913 Donors Pledge
$l86,lS2, or 1878
Per Cent of Quote

Encouraged by marked increases
in the gifts pledged so far by con-
tributors solicited by Community
Chests Advance Gifts Unit, volun-
teers of the unit set out today to
reach their $521 900 goal by the end
of this week.
Reports at the luncheon meeting
of the unit in the Willard Hotel yes
terday brought the total pledge
toward the goal to $186,182 from 1913
givers for a quota percentage of 35.73.
Through the advance solicitation in
the Metropolitan Group and Subur-
ban Units, a total of 1923 has been
pledged from 1873 contributors. This
will be applied toward the various
unit quotas and does not count to-
ward the Advance Gift Units goal.
The group of volunteers was urged
by Chauncey G. Parker, jr, CAM
paign chairman to bring the unit
10 its quota by the end Of the week,
thereby giving a head start to the
city-wide Chest compaign.
Nets Daily Needs.
The Chest was termed 'indis-
pensable" by Robert w. Bondy, di-
rector of the Board of Public We'll
fare, at the report meeting. Point
ing out that Government agencies
fail to meet all human needs, he
declared that many times daily the
Board calls upon Chest member
agencies to give service of some
kind to families under the Board.
He cited particularly help given
by the Bureau of Rehabilitation,
various children's institutions and
services and health agencies under
the Community Chest. To his own
knowledge, he said, the board is
dependent on at least half the Chest
member agencies for services.
Asked if he felt Chest agencies
gave help overlapping that rem
dered by the Board, he replied that
so many needs are not being met
at all that the question of over
tapping can be ignored.
Traced to Neighborliness.
Tracing the Chest back to its be-
ginnings in individual neighborli-
ness" he explained that various
groups had come together to make
possible Community service.
with such organized neighborli-
ness" he declared, "the given to the
Community Chest is an investor in

Randolph Bishop, campaign man
ager, today urged campaign workers
who belong to soliciting units, as
well as other volunteers, agency
board members and officials to pre-
sent their applications Immediately
for reserved seat tickets for the
Chest mass meeting Monday night

At noon tomorrow, he pointed out,
all reserved seat tickets still un-
claimed will be handed out to the

the Indian Nursery School. It's
a treat to see these bright. heal
thy youngsters on parade with
their teachers Mrs. Salois and
Mrs. Power these fine mornings,

receiving the best of training

diet rules laid down by DR..
Schrader are being strictly ad-
hered to by the efficient staff of
teachers. to the benefit of the
youngsters in every way.
1t is to be hoped that this pro-
ject will be continued for many
years. and the citizens of Brown
ing should voice vigorous pro-
tests if any attempts should be
made to drop it, as is rumored.
1t is a vital part of the lives of
these youngsters. and is a bless

Grating feeder air mail planes
between smaller communities
and cities with airports served
by regular air mail lines. The
organization is making a study
of the needs of such a system,
and will report its findings to the
federal government.
Small towns ia the state are
responsible for 81 per cent of the
total air mail originating in Mon.
tana. the organization announc-
ed. The tentative plan would
have small planes pick up mail
at one or more small towns and
relay it to the nearest port serv-
ed by mainline airliners.
1t would be necessary. Mon
tanans. Inc. decided. to persuade
the aeronautics authority to re-
lax its rule requiring two-motor-
ed planes for the rural routes. 1t
also would be necessary to OBJ
tain permission to have only one
pilot to each pickup plane.
