Citizen, City Director of Pub- lic Service, Robert H. Dopp, this morning sprang to the defense of W. B. Hanson, experienced plumber, engaged in the current plumbing controversy with a faction led by Albert G. Roberts, secretary of the Key West Plumbers Association. The story carried in yester- day’s paper, Dopp said, did not adequately give Hanson’s side of the issue. (Editor’s Note: The Citizen story was written from statements of Roberts and George A. Warren, State Sani- tary Officer, to whom Roberts had taken his case aiter Hanson complained of work Roberts was doing on a certain job.) Dopp’s letter follows: Editor, The Key West Citizen: \ Your article of last evening, re-} garding the plumbers’ contro-! versy, is so unfair to Mr. W. B.} Hanson, that I am prompted to} offer the true story: 1. Mr. Roberts did underbid Mr. Hanson for the job. 2. Mr. Hanson did examine the ette Ta Revision On Nov.

There is the undercurrent of a clash between Governor Cald- {well and an almost hostile state mate, emphasized by the Gov-; ernor’s refusal to recognize Sen. Edwin G.

Mr. Roberts readily agreed; to make all necessary corrections when the violations of the Code were pointed out to him, and has since presented a plan of con- struction which meets all re- quirements of the Code. Your article would lead one not familiar with the facts, to believe that Mr. Hanson was completely in the wrong. It is this writer's humble opinion that Mr. Hanson’s only error in this case was an examination of the job without first requesting the presence of the Plumbing In- spector.

BENDER OF OHIO TO- DAY (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—It the court fight in the trial of John L. Lewis is prolonged, it will mean economic suicide for the nation, Representative George Bender of Ohio declared today He urged that the court, with- out resorting to endless red tape, decide at the earliest possible mo- ment the status of the Lewis case for every day of delay meant the throwing out of work of thou- sands of more men and the fur- ther contraction of production in many industries. Senator Ball of Minnesota, in discussing the Norris-LaGuardia anti-injunction law, said that, should the court decide that it is applicable to the government, as well as to individual or corporate interests, he will introduce a measure at the next congress that will put in plain words the ex- ception of the act to the govern- ment in time of national emergen- cies, or threatened emergencies, as is the case at present in the contempt of court hearing. Discussion of the suit today cen- tered on the Norris-LaGuardia act, with Lewis’ attorneys still ‘maintainjng, in a statement is- sued this morning, that the gov- ernment is just as amenable to the law as is an individual or a company. Secretary of the Interior Krug and Civil Production Adminis. trator Small this morning sent telegrdms to the governors of the 21 states that are most af- fected by the coal strike, inform ing them that the order for the conservation of coal is not volun- jtary but mandatory Getting Ready To Tile Floor In Courthouse The only “business” going on today in the county court house is the humming of a flooring machine, which is being used be- |fore covering the floors with asphalt tiles.
