These recommendations. the center of stormy debate, were made by Pres |dent John McParland. One proposed cutting $50 a year from the salary | o€ Vice President W. J. Barrett, who {defended his pocketbook by rting it was a poor policy to reduce wag {of unioy officers when labor was d imanding more money from employers Uproar accompanied the debate. i which began yesterday. John W. Hays. secretary-treasurer, led the attack against the economy proposals. He asserted that if the union wish tits officers to stop in cheap hotels they could do it. but he considered | it sound policy to meet the employers on an equal basis in this respect. He added that officers used to get $17 a day for expenese, but they had been icut to $12. He ended by declaring | that there was no reason for cutting the vice president’s salary just b cause the president and secretar: { treasurer “only got a measly $5,000 per annum.’ Objects to “Garlic Joints.” L. P. Still of Atlanta, Ga., declared {all union officers should be paid more. He added the membership could not expect its officers while on union | business to stop in “garlic joints.” | "president McParland then took the floor, declaring his “heart had been wrung with anguish at the woes of Mr. Hays, but that he himself re- ceived ample salary for his need and_had saved money. He wore goqg clothes as any other officer, he said, even though they might be pressed at home. He said his proposals would impese no hardships on his colleagues and in Iclosing referred to the “pints” of dia- imonds worn by some labor leaders. John Goldberg of Minneapolis, de- manded that the convention get down to business and “drop politics.” Re- ferring to Barrett's $4,000 a year sal- ary, he reminded the delegates that thousands of their comrades on strike were walking the streets or getting $12 and $17 a week. m. 8-up immedi- | charge of public buildings and | ely after breakfast are followed by ! grounds, will tell members of ‘the ! renuous hours of field maneuvering, hington Real Estate Board of the | New 1. Ss Ambassador .to| KEY BRIDGE NEARS COMPLETION = AS WORK_MOVES GRADUALLY ON The two-million-dollar concrete Key bridge, which is to replace the antiquated Aqueduct bridge at Georgetown, is gradually nearing completion, but will hardly be ready for public use before next sumger. All the big piers, eight in . number, including the abut- men,ts\;r’e practically completed, i disintegrated and could not safely be used as a support. Owing to its great depth and the difficulty of keeping it clear of water for repairs, it was decided to build a spur into the side of the pier itself, at a higher level, for use as a temporary foundation for one end of the heavy steel span necessary to laying the permaners concrete” arch. These unforeseen conditions have delayed the work considerably; but Maj. Oliver -and his assistants say they are mak- ing the best progress possible and undoubtedly will complete the bridge by next summer. The principal work to be done is e P oK 0 e e as also\pre three of the four mas- sive connecting arches over the river and the smaller arch span- ning the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. The arch near the Virginia shore will be finished next month, when the work of constructing the ad- joining arch, which will have a span of 204 feet, will begin. Work ~ on that arch has been delayed by the necessity of strengthening the temporary foundation for the steel span on which the concrete arch is laid. Recently a defect was dis- covered in the concrete base for the temporary foundation of the span at the rock bed of the river. To remedy that condition a coffer- dam has to be used and a large spur built into the solid concrete of the pier itself several feet un- der water. ! Maj. Lunsford E. Oliver, the en- - gifleer officer in direct charge of the work, recently made a per- £onal inspection of the situation. He donned a regular diver's suit and spent some time at the bottom of the river, which is there about twenty-five fect deep, investigating conditions. mainly by sense of touch. He verified the regular diver's report that the pier was as ssolid and as strong as the hed rock on which it rested, but that a portion of the concrete nearby, designed solely as a base for the temporary pile foundation for the steel span, had partially UNION SAVINGS BANK OLDEST SAVINGS BANK IN WASHINGTON WELCOMES YOUR ACCOUNT 210 14TH ST.
