CHAMBER Of COMMERCE
OPPOSES ALLEY BILL"
Committee Is Appointed to Prevent
Its Passage by the
House.

Strong opposition to the '.alley bill' az
amended and recently unanimously pass.
ed by the Senate will be made by repre-.
sentatives Of the Chamber Of Commerce
according to action taken at q meeting
of the executive committee OF that or
ganization today. A committee was
appointed to act Immediately against the
| bill and endeavor to stop its passage by
the House of Representatives.
The bills. 1625-is aimed to do away
with alley houses in the District and. as
amended, would do so without any COM
pensation for the owners OF these struc-
lures. Also, no provision Is made for the
persons who would be forced to vacate
the premises affected.
Thousands of persons throughout
Washington would be seriously anected
by the passage Of the bill, 1t was de-
clared Chaplin Brown, general counsel
for the chamber. declared that If "peo-
them of their property they would be
here in thousands"
Charles H. Bauman, president OF the
Oriental Building Association. spoke on
and similar organizations. Pointing out
that the bill provided for the vacation
Of all such houses by July 1, 1918, Mr
Bauman said: I'm my opinion as soon as
this bill is passed it will depreciate all
alley property. Owners can neither sell
nor rent. for 1t will then be practically
useless. It Is taking away property
without compensation.
VIII Throw Negroes Into Streets.
1T will throw the negro element into
the street. Instead Of having one
family in one house, several families
will have to combine to rent one
house, as they will have to pay more
rent"
Albert schulteis declared that two
or three families living in the same
house was certainly not conducive to
morals" He said no hearings had
who live in the alleys, he said. had
been able to buy their own homes,
but they could never have done so
with larger houses on the streets.
P. T. Moran declared himself to be
vigorously opposed to the proposed act.
He believed, he said. the working ele-
ment would be driven to points In the
suburbs from which it would be i'm
possible for servants and drivers to
get to work in time in the morning.
IF there ever was a time when the
women of the city should oppose bill
1t Is now" At another point he said
that Senator Smith of Maryland. who
introduced the bill, would never have
tnOuSnI Oh QOlHS So III odAtAnoTe.
Members of the committee did not
believe the majority OF persons inter-
ested in alley property had understood
1t. and that it confscated it without
compensation. All believed alley houses
should be thoroughly sanitary and that
the alleys should be well lighted. It
was pointed out the District already
had laws covering these things
President William GUIDE, chairman Of
the executive committee, named as
special committee to take up the bill

RURAL MAIL CARRIERS
GET HINT IN ADDRESS
Fourth Assistant P, II, G. Blakeslee
Decries Efforts to Force
Pay increase.

The National Rural Letter Carriers As
sociation. IN convention at the New Ma
tional Museum this afternoon, received a
strong hint from the department in the
form of a heart-to-heart talk from Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Blakslee,
who told them how the department re-
garded their efforts to force an Increase
OF pay through Congress contrary to Its
wishes.
Mr.. Blakslee said, in part:
This administration is determined to
economize in the performance Of public
service SO that the burden of taxation
may be lightened upon ell the people.
and the consideration Of any PROPOSE
ton for the increase of compensation of
the employees in the postal service any,
where we must undertake to produce the
maximum return for the least expendi-
ture.
Former Increases Recalled.
"Inasmuch as the carrier body has re-
ceived increases In compensation
amounting to over eight millions OF
dollars in the last two preceding years
1t Is believed that 1t would not be wise
| to again increase the compensation
until the relative increase In duties
required of carriers Is self-evident and
the return to the postal service from
the rural delivery shall have estab.
lished more substantial reason for
such increase"
Our consideration of the subject was
confined solely to the economical admin
istration Of the postal service, in order
| that taxation might be lightened upon
| all the people.
II sincerely regret that this point of
view failed to receive the attention that
| should have been given to 1t.
Aim of Department.
Il am firmly convinced that there is
not single carrier in the rural delivery
service who would not this day be more
than willing to relieve his fellow-coun-
| trymen Of the additional burden that will
| be placed upon them through recent leg
| islation. and who would not wait pa
| tiently, until the self-evident relative in
crease had been ascrtained and the re-
| turn to the postal service from such in
crease had established that substantial
| Justice was denied
There Is not the slightest sentiment
| within the department to economiZe at
| the expense Of any employe. but there
prevails a sincere desire to provide a
! higher return to the individual who mer-
Its the same through the performance OF
| arduous duties or unusual service"
