Doubles in 15-Year Span
By the Associated Press.

increasing construction cost per mile
on Virginia's primary highway sys-
tenn, an increase that has more'thar
doubled in the last Is years. was
noted by statisticians of the State
Highway Department in report re-
leased yesterday.
In 1925, the Safe Highway De-
partment paid $25, 400 for each mile
of new construction on its primary
system. Last year each new mile
OF primary construction cost S66, 5000
In the intervening years, except
for a decline in 1884 and slight dips
in 1889 and 1910, the trend in cost
per mile" has been steadily upward,
statistics showed.
Two factors have accounted for
the increased costs. The first is
the boost in the price of road build
ing materials and the second is the
vastly improved type Of road in the
primary system.

Strict Liquor Control
Here 10 Be Sought
In New Regulations
PorIey Decides on
Tighter Rules Rather
Than Additional Lows


Control of the Districts liquor sit.
uation will be sought through new
regulations rather than by request
for additional legislation at thi!
time members of the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board said yesterday
The opinion of the board became
known after a conference of more
than an hour yesterday. The Com
missioners, the board, Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech anC
other District officials, gathered to
discuss letter of Chairman Ran
dolph of the House District Com
mittee suggesting that the Commits
sioners recommend legislation to
tighten control over liquor if they
felt it necessary.
A reply to Mr.. Randolph's letter
of last week end will be sent this
week by the Commissioners who
declined to discuss the matter until
the reply is sent.
Regulations Expected.
The Commissioners are expected to
receive in the next day or so several
regulations to tighten control over
the liquor industry here The regu-
lations were informally presented to
the Commissioners by the ABC
Board a month ago.
Though the ABC Board announced
at that time that the proposed regu-
lations would be submitted to the
Commissioners "at very early
date" they were only recently sent
to the corporation counselS office
and because of court work have not
been sent to the city heads.
Chairman Thomas E. Lodge of
the ABC Board described the meet
ing yesterday as pleasant and con-
structive,' and said there was a
further discussion of the proposed
new regulations.
More Inspectors Provided.
These new regulations, as out
lined a month ago, call for an in
crease in the number of permit in
spectors for the board; require
ment that retailers display Ger
tain percentage of their whiskies
on their shelves: curtailment of i'm
port permits where merchandise is
of questionable quality or used in
questionable ways" and a require
ment that wholesalers report inven-
tories and amounts of whiskies at
specified intervals and that retail
stores report what they receive from
the uholeSa lerS
Among those attending the meet
ing yesterday we're Commissioners
John Russell Young, Guy Mason,
and Charles w. Kutz; Chairman
Lodge and his fellow members of
the board, Mrs. Agnes K. Mason

when the Interstate Commerce
Commission held this class to be
employees" within the terms of the
Railway Labor Act.
The red caps" had never had 8
bargaining election which would
commit them to this representation
They, instead, had formed unit o1
the United, but two applications fol
recognition had been denied by the
company. First, they were told thai
they were not regarded as "em-
ployes" by the ICC. Later, the COM
pany said they were covered by the
AEL agreement
The porters then asked the Ma
tional Mediation Board to weigh
their claims, but the board dismissed
the application on the ground thai
they ARE part of the craft or class
of clerical. office, station and store
house employees, and not a separate
class or craft for the purpose of the
Railway Labor Act" and that the
board found no dispute over rep
resentation that would warrant &C
ton.
The workers challenged this find
ing in District Court, which held
the board order void and ineffective;
said the red caps were a separate
and distinct class or craft and re-
quired the board to certify United
as their bargaining agent
The AFL union APPEALED from that
but the Court of Apeals held with
District Court, Chief Justice Groner
declaring:
That the rules Of the brother
hood make Negroes ineligible tc
membership is not matter which
concerns us, but that the brother
hood, in combination with the en-
ployer, should force on these men
the prescription and at the same
time insist that the brotherhood
alone is entitled to speak for them
in the regulations of their hours OF
work, rates of pay and the redress
of their grievances is so inadmis-
sible, so palpably unjust and so op-
posed to the primary principles of
the act railway labor as to make
the boards decision upholding it
wholly untenable and arbitrary"
Point to Difference.
In asking the Supreme Court for a
rehearine the red caps" point out
that in the New York Central case
the trainmen and switchmen were
doing the same kind of work, while
in this litigation the red caps"
are performing entirely different
functions than those covered ira
ditionally under the jurisdiction of
the Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks"
The "red caps" lay emphasis on the
fact that their color bars them
from membership in the brother
hood. but that this union neverthe-
less was certified as their spokes-
man.
This is involuntary economic
servitude, and we respectfully SUBJ
NIT that such is obnoxious to the
Thirteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution as constituting limitations
on individual rights which pertain
to the status of slaves rather than
to free men. and the Thirteenth

Damage Verdict Voided
In Federal Trespass Case

A verdict for $1,000 damages re-
Gently awarded to John J. Foreman
by District Court jury for alleged
trespass by deputy United States
marshals at his home in the 110O
block of Owen street NE. has been
set aside by Justice Jennings Bailey
and new trial granted-due to the
silence of a juror when question
was asked and because the juror was
acquainted with defense witness.
Justice Bailey asserted Keith M.
Gaylor, foreman of the jury which
rendered the verdict had remained
silent when the question was asked ::
Have any of you prospective jurors
ever been served with a civil
process?"
Silence from Mr.. Gaylor, Justice
Bailey held, was equivalent to a
denial. The court found also Mr..
Gaylor had been served with civil
processes. Justice Bailey expressed
the view that Mr. Gaylor would
naturally have a feeling of resent
ment' against an attorney who had
testified in behalf of the defense
because the lawyer had represented
Mrs. Gaylor in a divorce action.
United States Marshal John B
Colpoys was named defendant in
the suit, which grew out of an al
legged trespass by deputies at the
Foreman home in 1910. The depu-
ties were trying to locate brother
in-law of Mr.. Foreman, it was said
Assault charges preferred in the
civil suit were ruled out earlier be-
cause of the statute of limitations.
Mr.. Colpoys was defended in the
suit by United States Attorney
Edward M. Curran and Assistant
United States Attorney Daniel B.
Maher.

Citing wartime legislation as su-

hibition against inquiring into a Job
applicants political opinions or af-
filiations, the Civil Service Com
mission today reiterated its right
to bar Communists from Federal
employment.
Issuing statement to clarity in

investigators. the commission said
the Hatch Act and appropriation
acts for 1914 give it the right to
eliminate persons disloyal to the
Government Such policy, it
added. does not reflect any lack of
genuine enthusiasm for the ire
mendous contribution the Soviet
government and people have made
to the winning of the war"
The commission said its policy Is
simply frank recognition of the

masters, for sooner or later he will
hate the one and love the other"
Rights to Act Unquestioned.
1t is absolutely impossible" the
commission said, to imagine" the
Soviet government tolerating a
Soviet citizen whose primary loyalty
was to any foreign government.
No one. the commission added, has
/ questioned its right to inquire
whether or not person is pro-
Fascist, pro-Nazi or pro-Japanese.

Admitting I'VE have made enemies
as result of our activities in the
investigative field" the commission
asserted that these enemies claim
the commission is prosecuting
genuine liberals and progressives."
| Instructions Exlained.
! Explaining its instructions, the
commission added.
( The only reason We have instruct
ed investigators not to ask ques-
tions about membership in certain
organizations. admittedly made up
of both progressive and Communist
Party liners. is because We felt that,
by so doing our investigators were
making no progress in the direction
of ferreting out persons who were
not suitable for Government en-
ployinent, but. on the other, were
playing into the hands Of those
who desire TO sabotage our work
by leading the American people to
believe that we are engaged in the
business of prosecuting genuine lib
erals and progressives.
Just where the line should be
drawn as to organizations about
which questions should be asked and
these about which questions should
not be asked is. of course, debatable
issue.
OF this much We are sure. how
ever. and that is that the line must
be drawn If it is not. we will be
sabotaging rather than carrying for
) ward, in an effective manner, a pro-
: gram for keeping unsuitable persons
out of Government in time of war;
