BAYERSON OIL WORKS ASSALL DEMANDS OF IRONWORKERS Builders Say 10 Per. Cent Raise’ Is Excessive—Jobs Reported Tied Up. 1 | Declaring that demands of Local No. 5, Iron Workers' Union, for 10 per cent increase in wages If granted would force this city to pay 33 per cent more than the average union wage in 109 cities of the United States, the Build- ers and Manufacturers' Exchange of the District of Columbia today issued a formal statement saying that 150 union structural iron workers who quit work April 1 were still idle. The statement declared that all mem- bers of the exchange had refused to comply with the demands cf the union and set forth the reasons. The “strike,” as the Builders’ Ex- change statement terms it, has tied up “dozens of jobs” throughout Wash- ington. < L Labor representatives claim, on the other hand, the trouble is mot a “strike,” but a “Jockout,” and claim to have agreements with about three- fourths of the contractors doing struc- i tural fron work in Washington for the increased wage scale of 10 per cent. The largest of these jobs is the In- ternal Revenue Building. Effort to Give Facts. Signed by Ross H. Johnson, manager of the exchange; the statement said: “In view of the fact that representa- tives of Local No. 5 of the International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers have made certain statements relative to the ex- isting conditions in the strike situation |for increase in wages, it is believed ‘hat the general public, the financial in- terests of the community and builders not connected with this organization {should know the facts. There are 160 firms, members of the Bullders’ | Manufacturers’ Exchange, including all jof the ornamental fron and erection shops in Washington, who hqve refused to grant this increhse, “At the time the strike was cnlled! on April 1, 150 union structural iron | workers were working for the local contractors. Today not one union man is so employed. 2 “A survey of 109 cities paying union wages shows that the average wage is $1.20'5 cents per hour for journey- men. Washington is' therefore paying at the present rate 20 per cent more |than the average wage, and if the in- crease is granted will be paying 33 per cent more than the average. Wash- |ington is. now paying higher wages than in 93 cities where union labor is employed. “Living Costs Decline.” | change refuse to comply with the de- | mand of the union for the following reasons: “Prices of commodities have steadily declined during the past two years, and based on the usual plea of ‘high cost of living’ As a matter of fact, Local | No. 5 gives no reason at all on’ which i to base their demand. “Owing to a slackening in real estate | operations, competition in our industry has become so keen that at the present | time work is taken close to cost, and |often below cost. Most of .our -mem- bers have no profit to show for 1928, 'he. members of this association | realize that they are only agents be- { tween the labor unions and the public and that any wage increase is ulti- mately paid for by the public. It is therefore ‘the sense of this association | that the public, through their appoint- | ed representatives, should have a voice {in determining what constitutes a fair | wage. | “This association is pledged to a pol- icy of co-operation with other building | trade associations and labor organiza- !tlam. Such co-operation is only pos- | stble when the parties concerned are | willing to abide by the decisions of a | co-operative committee in which each | | party is equally represented. JEWELER IDENTIFIED " AS GEM RING CHIEF | Witness in New York Smuggling Trial Names Landau as “Master Mind.” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 5.—Morris Landau, New York jeweler, who is under indict- ment with his son and daughter for smuggling, was identified by in Federal Court today as the mind” of an international diamond smuggling ring accused of bringing & fortune in undeclared gems into the | country. The witness was, Berend Croothuis, admittedly the European purchasing agent for the ring. He was on the stand as a_Government witness in the trial of John T. McIntyre, waterfront traffic policeman, accused of being the intermediary for the purchasers abroad and the receivers here. Groothuis testified he “felt ashamed” of himself for what he had done and added he had been a “tool for Landan.” “You regard Landau, then, as the master mind in this thing?” asked David P. Siegel, defense counsel. Groot- huis replied that he did. Groothuis said his wife had been paid $75 a week by Landau in 1927 besides the 5 per cent commissions he received from his purchasérs.

Germany's official record of her ac- tivities in fhe United States from August, 1914, to April 6, 1917, may be turned over in its entirety, including | orders and correspondence in connec- | tion with alleged sabotage work by |sples, for perusal by the German- American Mixed Claims Commission. Karl von Lewinski, German agent, | arguing Germany's side of the $24,000,- | 000 sabotage ciaims by the United | States, which grew out of war-time ex- plosions in New Jersey, today told the | commission that his government would | produce any records requested. |~ Robert W. Bonynge, American agent, | | he said, previously had asked for the | records of the famous Division III-B, the political section of the general staff of the imperiat German government, and for records of other sections of the German war and navy intelligence de- partment and of military and naval at- ;tlches in Washington, Madrid, Buenos | Aires and Berne and the German con- :sullfe in San Francisco. The German agent said that he re- fused this request because he did not feel he had the authority to comply, but that if the records were requested pby the commission, the German gov- ernment would produce them. Asks U. He made a counter request that eer- tain records of the Department of Justice of the United States, dealing with activities of alleged German spies, be introduced in evidence. He said he had been given access to these records, but that they were stored in a room filled with such a tremendous volume of material that he did not feel capable of picking up the “aggravating” docu- ments. ‘This statement was the German agent's response to charges which he sald the American agents had made, that Germany had withheld documents and testimony in an effort to evade responsibility in the claims. He ae- cused the American agents of charging him personally with bad faith, declar- ing that the claims now under consid- eration “had been presented with an aggressiveness unusual before this com- mission.” 2 Certain specific documénts demanded by the American agents, Dr. von Lewin- ski added, are mnot available because they were destroyed at the command of the chief of Inter-Allied Commissions of Control, shortly after the signing of the -treaty of Berlin. Von Lewinski charged these commis- sions with a far-flung program of de- sfruction in Germany immediately after the armistice. On whether the 1916 explosions at the Black Tom Terminal started in a barge or in freight cars may hinge the validity of a large part of the United States claims against the German gov- ernment, and the timepiece of a watch- man who lost his life, its hands stopped at 2:40 o'clock, may be a deciding factor. Winding up the American case in hearings yesterday, American Agent Bonoynge contended that a shell-loaded barge first exploded through fire of an incendiary character. Von Lewinski had said he would contend that both disasters were due to some mishap, neg- ligence or spontaneous combustion, Agree on Explosions. Both sides agreed that the two ex- plosions were at 2:08 and 2:40 a.m. fense must rest on theé contention that explosion of dynamite in the freight cars occurred first, and in contradict- ing this cited the timepiece of the watchman killed. It had stopped at 2:40, he argued, and the man’s body was found near the dynamite cars. Furthermore, he declared, evidence. already produced showed that if the disaster had resulted from spontaneous combustion, the first notice of it womid have followed explosion of the dyna- mite. In reality, he said the evidence showed, flames were noticed enveloping the cars fully 15 minutes before there was any explosion. . ALUMNI DINNER APRIL 25.
