PROPOSED PETwoRTH PARK.
Citizens Discuss the Practicability OF
Purchasing Tract.

e. w. Oyster, who was appointed a
committee of one to inquire into the prac-
ticability of purchasing what is known as
the Wilson tract, consisting of six or
seven acres of land at I'd and Upshur
streets, for park purposes, reported to the
Petworth Citizens Association at their
regular monthly meeting in the Petworth
NJ. E. Church last night. that the owner
would sell the entire tract at 20 cents
a square foot, and give the District au-
thorities years option If the parking
project were pushed before Congress
The report of Mr.. Oyster was fol-
lowed by an extended discussion over
a suitable park for Petworth and end
ed in President W. N. Cornwell and Mr..
oyster being chosen as committee of
two to appear before the District Com
missioners and urge that estimates be
included in the Commissioners reports
to Congress this fall asking for an ap-
preparation for the purchase of the
Wilson tract. The committee will call
upon the Commissioners in the near
future and exert their best efforts on
the project during the summer.
Paul E. Lesh introduced a resolution
asking the District authorities to IN
clude in their coming estimates to
Congress sufficient funds to carry IN
the trunk system of sewerage in the
i
resolution was passed after short
discussion.
Another resolution which will be for
warded to the engineer department OF
the District was introduced and passed
at the instance of ]. l. Painter, calling
attention to the muddy and general
bad condition of the intersection of 9th
and Taylor streets. and 9th street for

be placed in a satisfactory shape for
pedestrians.
1t was also decided to ask that Var

NAGEL GETS BUSY At REFORM
OF COMMERCE
AND LABOR UNDER SCRUTINY.
Secretary Is Making a Thorough
Overhauling Of the Various
Divisions.

general wave of reform appears to be
sweeping over the Department of>Com-
merce and Labor. One by one the various
divisions are receiving the careful scrutiny
of Secretary Nagel and Assistant Secretary
McHarg. Some are receiving clean bills
of health, while others are being jerked
up and put on what Secretary Nagel con-
siders a better business basis. The divi-
sion of information of the bureau of i'm
migration has receievd a hard blow, fol-
lowing closely upon the undoing of the
census bureau and other divisions are
slated for touching up The trouble in
most of them. according to Assistant Sec
retary McHarg, is a system of favoritism
with respect of promotions.
There is no truth in the report that
the division of information of the bureau
of immigration Is to be wiped out" said
Assistant Secretary McHarg today. THE
only trouble with it is that 1t has de-
veloped to a point beyond the limits set
for it in the law under which 1t was
created. The senator's from the northern
most southern states. who were respon-
sible for the establishment Of this bureau,
had In mind the attraction to the south
of a class of immigrants who are able to
purchase farms and work them, but after
the division of immigration got started 1t
was turned into sort of employment
agency through which aliens were sent
from the cities to the rural districts. Most
of the aliens who went south were of an
undesirable class.
Organized Labor Complaints.
I'VE looked into the complaints that
had been made most of them having come
from organized labor. and discovered that
the division of information was doing
work that is being done by information
bureaus in most Of the large cities. partic-
ularly in Boston, New York and Chicago.
"Ail that will be done is to restrict the
work of the division of immigration to
the duties 1t was originally intended to
perform"
According to the law creating the divi-
sion of Information. IT was intended to
supply information to the various states
concerning the character of immigrants.
From the very first 1t aroused the opposi-
tion of labor leaders. and they have
fought it steadily during the two years it
has been in existence, on the ground that
it would attract to this country horde
OF aliens who would become a menace TO
organized labor. They demanded that the
division be stopped from taking the In
itiative in getting employment for immi-
ggants
