CHAMBER TO GIVE.
CONGRESS IDEA OF
DISTRICT AFFAIRS
Relations to Federal Govern
ment Explained in Letter to
Be Sent Members.

Every member of the Sixty-third Con-
gress will receive within the next few
days letter from the Washington
Chamber OF Commerce explaining the
relation between the District and the
Federal Government. The letter, au-
thorized at a meeting of the board Of
directors last night, was compiled by
George Y. worthington, H. B. F. Mac
farland, and John Poole, and. although
1t ia as brief as such a letter can be
made, 1t gives in detail the relation that
exists under law between the Federal
bia.
The attention of the national law
makers is called to the fact that more
than so per cent OF the property in the
District is non-taxable. Most of this
90 per cent belongs to the Government.
and protection Of this property, water
supply, streets. and other necessary at
tributes are shown to make a heavy
drain on the District funds. In this
way It is intended to show the legislators
that the half-and-heIf system now in
force is not discrimination in favor of
the residents of washington, but that
the Governments half is no more, IL as
much, as the Government would pay
II its property were subject to taxation.
The Id Toilette eight-hour bill was Wig
orously attacked by Harry King, who
declared IL the bill became a law II
would practically do away with female
labor in the District. and would divert

bill.

fwenty-eight new teachers were ap-
pointed to the District schools on rec

OF the Board of Education yesterday
afternoon. Two new clerks were ap-
pointed and one or two laborers at
school buildings. A long list of trans
fers of teachers was approved by the

transfers and promotions is unusually
large and is due to changes caused ey

new question by urging the abolish
ment Of mid-year classes in the nor
mails. Superintendent Davidson called

degrees. are not able to get Official

Basing their work on the Octavia Hill
Association OF Philadelphia. the Wom-
ans Welfare Committee, National Civic
Federation, of Washington, will try an
experiment which, IL is hoped, will i'm
prove the alley homes of the city.
The plan consists OF having the rents
Of these houses collected by a social
worker, who will note the needs of the
families. II is expected that by this
method the landlords and the tenants
may be brought closer together, and
that the surroundings may be made
more attractive
Miss octavia Hill. in talking Of her
work In ndon, says:
Two dittinct kinds Of work depend
entirely upon one anot her. II they are to
bear their full fruit. There Is. firstly,
the simple fulfllment Of those OF the
tenants. Then. secondly. there is the
individual friendship which has grown
up from intimate knowledge and from a
sense OF dependence and protection"
Already several houses occupied by
colored people have been turned over to
the welfare committee for the collec-
ton of rents. and these will serve as
basis for the experiment.
