CONGRESS TO RECEIVE
PLEA TO AID DISTRICT
Chamber of Commerce Will
Ask for Action on Impor-
tant Legislation.

An appeal to Congress to consider i'm
portant legislation for the District Of Co
lumbia at the present session has been
drafted by subcommittee of the commit
tee on law and legislation Of the Cham
Der of Commerce. The action Of the sub
committee follows the recent passage of
resolution by the executive committee
of the chamber, which declared that the
committee on law and legislation be di-
rected to urge upon Congress prompt ac-
ton on pending legislation affecting the
District OF Columbia.
Text Of the Appeal.
The subcommittee has framed the fol-
lowing appeal,
1.-THE Washington Chamber OF Com.
merce begs leave to call attention to the
large mass Of important legislation af-
fecting the District of Columbia, the
seat of the government of the United
States. now pending before Congress.
For some reason. unknown to the people
of the District of Columbia it seems to
have been impossible during the present
session to secure quorums of the commit
tee on the District of Columbia in the
House Of Representatives, and as q re-
suit very few of the many important
pending bills affecting the National Capital
have been acted upon or even considered.
rs it just or right that the District
should be neglected in this way?
