DISTRICT WORKERS ASK
10 DAYS ANNUAL LEAVE
Also Urge Half Month of Sick Leave
and Saturday Afternoons Of.

At the fifth meeting of the District
government Branch of the F. deraI EN-
ployes' Union, held last night in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, a
campaign was launched to secure an
annual leave of Is days, sick leave OF
Is days, and holidays and Saturday after
moons off for the 800 or more per diem
employees of the District
A committee, which investigated the
case, reported that the District was the
only employer OF a large number OF
men in Washington who did not grant
an annual leave. A resolution introduced
b. w. F. Franklin. of the Water
Registers Office, calling upon the Com
missioners to include a provision in the
annual budget for an annual leave of
Is days. sick leave of 10 days, and pay
for all national holidays.
The budget goes to the Comptroller
of the Treasury this week. Should the
Commissioners grant the request, 1t is
possible the recommendation for the
change would go to Congress at the
next session along with other District
matters. Officials are counting on the
support of the Federal Employees Union,
and the American Federation of Labor.

ARTILLERY DUEL RACES

French Open Bombardment on Front
Thirteen Miles Long.

Paris. Oct. ia great artillery duel is
being fought tonight along a front of
more than thirteen miles in Picardy,
stretching from Morval, north of the
somme. to the district of Chaulnes. south
of the river
This bombardment' was opened by the
French, apparently in preparation for an
other drive against the German front AS
has been previously reported. the Ger
mans have concentrated considerably
larger numbers of guns on this front
than they have had at any previous period
of the war, and they are replying heavily
to the French fire, interspersing their
shell fire with occasional counter-attacks
of great violence in an effort to win back
the ground lost yesterday.
On those sectors of the front north OF
Morval the activity has been less intense
The British announce the repulse Of the
German attacks north of Courcellette, and
there were sharp outbreaks of activity
elsewhere on Gen. Haig's front, but these
affairs were purely local in character
Against Gen. Fochs lines, however, the
Germans put forth very violent efforts at
a number of points. Two especially heavy
attacks were launched against the ground
newly won by the French in Chaulnes

VICE PREVALENT
Police Captain Exposes Fourth
Precinct Conditions.

That the passage Of the Kenyon bill
has failed to eliminate the evil of or
ganized vice in Washington was made
evident at the hearings Of the Excise
Board yesterday.
In answer to Chairman Cummins'
question as to the general condition of
the neishborhood, Capt. williams, of the
Fourth precinct, said that an appalling
situation tantamount to a "redlight dis
trict" existed in Southwest Washington,
which the continuous efforts Of the po-
lice had been powerless to suppress.
We'll dressed, sporty looking men,
mostly young fellows, operate with the
girls" said the police captain.
He inferred that there existed a sys-
TEN of slavery in which these men acted
as cadets.
The statement OF the officer was re-
ceived with amazement by the board. A
suggestion was made that there be a
general investigation with a view to
cleaning up the locality in question.
