that the new contrac provides "a

lures Of the present contract, includ-
ing tn. right OF Appeal to the District

to the carmen.
In a statment issued by Mr.. King
he said. THE grievance committee
of our employees did not appear at

of three was present. Mr.. King ad-
vised this committee that he could
not receive them as representatives
of the Amelgated Association, al
though he was willing to meet them
as employees of the company" d.
The statement further said that
"the primary purpose of the agree
ment is to insure continuous and un-
interrupted car service to the people
of Washington and vicinity. the en-
pIoyes agree not to participate in any
strike or interruption of the service.
but to submit to arbitration in the

cost OF living problem. II is time
that something was done here"
Veteran In Movement.
More than a decade ago Mr.. Nesbit
was one of the hackers of the City
Garden Association. which vanished
after an existence OF FIVE years. To
gether with B. II. Warner and John B.
Sleman, both now deceased, Mr.. Mes
bit worked on a project similar to
that now being launched.
The system was modelled on that
established in Philadelphia by the
late Joseph Fels, millionaire single
tax advocate, who founded the vacant
lot gardening movement to demon
strate that people would cultivate the
land IL given the opportunity. The
work has been carried on In the
Quaker City for a quarter Of a cen
tury, and the scope OF the movement
increases each summer.
In Washington, when the City Gar
den Association existed. back yards.
vacant lots. and tracts loaned by the
municipality drew many Capital citi-
zens into the outdoors, and intensive
truck gardening was followed By
scores.
After half a decade interest waned.
apathy supplanted enthusiasm. and
the association passed out OF exist
ence. The end of the organization
was hastened by the fact that at that
time vegetables were comparatively
cheap. and there was not the high
cost OF living problem to meet.

PRESIDENT FAVORS
LATER INAUGURAL
Majority of Cabinet Members
Alison on Record Advocat-
ing Change.

| President Wilson and a majority of
his Cabinet favor a change in the in
auguraI. date-from March to the
last Thursday in April.
No official announcement Of the
Presidents attitude toward the agi-
tstion for a change Of dates has yet
been given from the White House.
but it was reliably stated today by
those in his confidence that he has
expressed himself to that effect. Sew
eral members of the Cabinet. iclud-
ing Secretaries McAdoo, Baker.
Daniels. Redfield. Gregory and Wilson
have openly declared themselves on
the subject
The national committee on the
change of the date decided at a meet
ing held late yesterday to seek the
Presidents support in the movement
to bring about an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States.
, Whether he will lend his official in
fluence to the cause is conjectural, in
view of the fact that the change
would prolong his tenure of office
several weeks.
To Come Up At Next Session.
In any event 1t is assured that
measure proposing the amendment
will come up at the next session OF
Congress. a number of Senators and
Congressman having asserted that
they will press the issue.
At the meeting Of the national COM
mittee yesterday Henry B. F. Mac
faTland outlined the plans and re-
viewed the work accomplished by the
-
1901. He recalled that in 1910 the
resolution looking to the necessary
Constitutional amendment nearly re-
ceived the required two-thirds vote in
the House.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Macfar-
land that President Wilson contracted
cold Monday. and that President
William Henry Harrison died from an
illness due from his exposure to the
weather on Inauguration day. He also
declared that hundreds have died as
result Of pneumonia developed on
March T.
ConfIdent of Ratification.
Mr.. Mscfarland expressed conf
dence that the support of more than
three-fourths OF the States necessary
for the ratification of an amendment
after the passage OF a resolution by
Congress could be obtained.
The committee added to its member
ship District Commissioners Newman,
Brownlow, and kutz; K. c. Branden-
burg, president OF the Washington
