Fight to Reach Floors of Congress.
That the demands of the residents
of Washington are to be presented
not merely to chairmen and members
of committees and subcommittee in
charge of matters affecting the District
was the plain intimation of DIR. Wiley.
1t is the present purpose to enlist the
aid and support of as many members OF
both houses as possible. and to carry to
the floors of the House and Senate the
fight against what are said to be thinly
disguised attempts to overturn existing
laws in regard to taxation and other
matters pertaining to the government of
the District and the administration of its
affairs.
