The sheriff said he believed
some other person figured in the

Maryland Constitution
May Block AFL Plan
To Pay Legislators
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. IA. The
American Federation of Labor
may run afoul of the State Con-
stitution if it tries to put Mary
land legislators on its payroll.
The federation League fol
Political Education has suggested
that each State unit consider
augmenting the salaries of State
legislators known to be sympa-
thetic to labor.
The idea is to induce more such
sympathetic individuals to seek
election. Many of them. the AFL
figures, refrain now because of
the low salary of State legislators.
They are paid $1,000 year in
Maryland.
Hall Comments on Plan.
Commenting on the AFL plan,
Attorney General Hall Hammond
said yesterday:
There is considerable doubt in
my mind that such action in
Maryland would not be in viola
ton of the State Constitution"
He cited Article 6 of the Dec
laration of Rights which begins
"All persons invested with the leg
islative or executive powers Of gov
ernment are trustees OF the
public, ."
The attorney general said this
posed to him a question whether
any member of the Legislature
being a trustee of the public le-
gally could be paid by any single
segment of that public"
Another Section Quoted.
Mr.. Hammond said section 81
of Article III might also be ap-
plicable. This section says, in
part:
1T shall be the duty of the
General Assembly to provide by
law for the punishment Of any
person who shall bribe or attempt
to bribe any executive or judi
cial officer of the State OF Mary
land.
And also Z" for the punish
ment " of any of said officers
or members, who shall demand OF
receive any bribe. fee, reward or
testimonial for the performances
of his official duties. ="
I Mr.. Hammond explained he did
not mean that the AFL-suggested
program necessarily would con-
stitute bribery. But I do suggest
that these constitutional provi-
sions would have to be taken into
consideration and given careful
consideration both by the unions
and by the individual legislator
who might be involved"

Executive Board of the Virginia
State Federation of Labor was
on record today as believing mo
conscientious, self-respecting rep

the position of commissioner of

The board expressed this view
by resolution yesterday. tanning
the controversy which has fol-
lowed the forced retirement Of

missioner.

off in any recommendations. de-
claring that Gov. Tuck's appoint

Spoke Only for Board.
Jack S. Smith, president of the
federation, disclosed the action by
the executive group.
He said at first the group desid-
ed to resolve that it would keep
hands off in recommending any
one for the position of labor COM
missioner. He added that this was
amended to apply only to Mr..
Halls unexpired term because
when a new Governor had been
elected the federation may be in
terested in promoting candidate.
The resolution spoke only for
the Executive Board. Mr.. Smith
said, and not for the 273 AFL
locals affiliated with it. 1t rec
commended, however. that all affil-
lated unions adopt the same
hands-off attitude for the same
reasons.
Said Retirement Was Forced.
Mr.. Hall recently retired and
later said this was forced on him
after he had dismissed a sub
ordinate, Mrs. Rose Mcmahon,
former chief of the Labor Depart
ment's women's and children S
division. Still later it was recon-
mended to the Governor that the
department be completely reor-
ganized, and Mrs. Mcmahon
brought charges of "unscrupulous
administrative practices" against
Mr.. Hall.
Then Mr.. Smith told reporters
that Gov. Tuck. shortly before
he took Office. told labor repre-
sentatives that he had to reap
point Mr.. Hall because Senator
Harry F. Byrd was gong to tell
him to. This was vehemently
denied by both Senator Byrd and
Gov. Tuck.
Saturday Mr.. Smith produced a
sworn affidavit signed by I. c.
Welsted, who said that he was
present at a conference of four
labor men with Gov. Tuck in 1945.
