Plan to Dust Them From
H0meHke Plaza Hotels

Hundreds of letters of protest are
being received by members of both
Houses of Congress from the 1.SOO
Government working girls now housed
in the plaza hotels. The protests have
arisen over the news that a bill will
be introduced in Congress in the near
future providing for the public use
Of the buildings now sheltering the
war workers.
1t is expected. the bill will allow
the rents in Washington time to come
down. and that no woman will be
forced to vacate her present quar-
tiers in the Government hotels until
she obtains board and lodging out
