LABOR JOINS FIGHT
FOR JUSTICE HERE
Organizations in District, Says
John B. coIpoys, Give Sup
port to Movement.

Support for the movement to get justice
for the District Of Columbia in its rela-
tons with the federal government has al
ready been given by labor organizations
here, and will continue to be given. ac-
cording to q statement made today by
John B. Colpoys, secretary OF the Wash
ington Central Labor Union. The Cen
trail Labor Union is the washington
branch of the American Federation OF
Labor.
Mr.. Colpoys pointed out today that ms
organization recently sent letters TO all
members of the Senate and HOUSE re
garding taxation matters IN the DlstIics
and that replies had been received IRON
more than 100 members OF congress Sno"
ing interest in the question.
The Central Labor Union has taken q
stand in favor of the George ta3a.ion
bill and opposed to the Johnson-froueS
amendment to that bill, and the Marvlaha
and District of Columbia Federation OF
Labor has taken the same position.
Mr. Colpoys declared that his organi1a-
ton stands back of the half-and-half plan
and is ready to support any measure Wnlch
promises justice for the District OF 90
lumbia. He Is the editor OF the traces
Unionist with a circulation which reaches
labor publications and organizations IN
all parts of the country.
Executive Committee Meeting.
The executive committee of the citizens
committee of 100, which is organizing the
campaign to get the facts concerning the
financial relationships between the gen
eral government and the District before
Congress and before the country, will
meet Wednesday night in the offices of Its
chairman. H. B. F. Mcfarland, in the
Evans building.
Mr. Macfarland said today that by the
time of the meeting Wednesday night ne
expects that the different members who
have been delegated to call on the officers
Of the various national organizations haV-
ing headquarters in Washington to oo-
tain their support will be ready to make
their reports
Mr. Macfarland is to see Mrs. William
Cumming Story, president general OF the
Daughters of the American Revolution
tomorrow and request that that organiza'
ton, because of its patriotic character
join in the movement to help the capital
of the nation.
Particular stress is being laid by
necessity of continuing the campaign
and not slowing UP simply because
the Senate took a favorable attitude
of the District in it's treatment Of the
pending District appropriation bill.
The appropriation bill is to be taken
up in conference this week, and 1t
is reported that the House conferees will
make earnest efforts to have retained In
It the sections believed to be against the
best interests of the District which
were eliminated by the Senate.
