Senate today a letter from a former
employe of one of the government
departments here, in which the state
employees must join the union" II

Senator King denounced the efforts
of the representatives of the union

Quotation From the Letter.
In the letter read to the Senate the

ing the other branch of the govern
ment service, said that soon after he
came to work here in one OF the fed
eral- depart,nepts H. member Of the

ing that the union was affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.

HE replied that the government clerks
had union affiliated with the A. F.
TIE writer said that he said that
he did not believe in unions which
used the strike, and that he did not
think the government einn EN- empi .Snt
therefore. he could not join. The
writer said the unions representative
then said to him:
III you wish t! to get ahead you must
join the union.

The writer said that his wife worked
in one of the government depart
ments, and that she was not a member
Of the union. He pointed out that if

.FORECASTER EXPECTS
CONTINUED COLD HERE
Heavy 0yercoats Will Be Needed
by All Tonight-Moderation
Later in Week.

Those who failed to bring out their
heavy overcoats today will probably
do so tonight, for a temperature as
low as 20 degrees above zero was pre-
dicted by the weather bureau for this
evening.
Moderation by Saturday.
The cold weather which assailed the
National Capital last night. sending
thermometers down to "a degrees early
today, will last for at least thirty-six
hours, the official forecaster at the
weather bureau stated today. Mod
Grafton may be expected by Saturday,
to be followed by unsettled weather,
when almost anything in the weather
line may be expected.
The cold wave hit Washington last
night. cutting the temperature down
from a maximum of SIS degrees at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon to "a de-
erees about o'clock this morning.
Below Seasonal Normal.
This latter figure was eleven degrees
below the seasonal normal for early
december days. Although the coolest
smell of the winter to date, no records
were broken. The cold wave swept
eastward from the upper Mississippi
valley, the great plains States and
the Rocky mountain region.
Fourteen degrees above zero was
recorded in northern New York state
Ia st night, the coolest registered in the
east, over which the cold wave is gen.

COUNCIL ACT TODAY MAY
RESTORE CARS IN TOLEDO

TOLEDO, Ohio. December s.-citv
council will meet in special session at
noon today to act on an emergency
measure which. If passed, will result
in almost immediate RESUMPTION of
street car service.
The proposed ordinance would Sis
pend the custer passed by council
last June and ratified by the voters
on November 4, which resulted four
days later in the cars being with
drawn.
The document, drawn up by a mem
Der of council. would give the Toledo
Railways and Light Company a sew
en-cent fare and l cent for transfer.
The prevailing rate when the cars
were running was cents and cents
for a transfer.
The custer was enacted originally
by an aldermanic vote of ID to 9.
After the voters had ratified it. the
cars had left the city and an attempt
to repeal it. the vote stood 13 to 2
against repeal, with one member of
the body absent. Twelve votes are
required under the city charter.

U. S. Delegates to Sail
for Home Next Week

PARIS. December 3.-The American
delegation to the peace conference,
with most of it's personnel. will sail
for the United States from Brest next
week The day has not been fixed.
The question whether one delegate
shall remain to continue participation
in the work Of the supreme council
rests, it is stated, entirely with the
State Department at Washington.
The understanding here, from the
best obtainable information, is that
if none of the delegates is left here,
Ambassador Wallace will be given
such powers as will make the Ameri-
can participation in the subsequent
work of the peace conference quite
as effective as if the delegates were
to remain.
At the State Department in Wash.
ington yesterday ii was indicated that
present plans were that the entire
American delegation would leave
Paris on December 9, leaving with
Ambassador Wallace to take up the
task of closing up any affairs re-
naming unsettled.

HIGH SCHO0LSFACE
ADDED CONGESTION
Midyear Grade Promotions
Expected to Increase De-
mand for Room.

The local high schools, already
taxed past their seating capacities,
will face further congestion in Febru-
airy. when the midyear grade school
promotions are made, school officials
predicted today
At the present time there are $500
pupils in the high schools. of which
number 6,547 are in the white build
lngs. 1t was estimated that between
500 and 500 will be added to the high
school enrolment in February. after
allowing for those who will graduate
at that time.
FOresees Serious Situation.
Supt. of Schools Thurston said the
situation in the high schools will be
serious in February.
asked saSss for suggestions as to means
OF feltef. MT Thurston said the con-,
gestiof1 might be relieved by opening
the high schools as early as O'Clock
and having different classes come at
different hours. Use of all available
space in the Old Central High School
also is being considered.
Mr.. Thurston predicted today that
in five years the attendance Of the
high schools will reach 1900. This
situation makes the erection Of the
proposed new Eastern High School
an urgent necessity. Congress has
been asked to appropriate money to
begin construction.
Excess Enrolment Noted.
Mckinley Manual Training School
furnishes a striking illustration Of
conditions in the high schools At
the present time the enrolment there
is 1926. The seating capacity is ap-
proximately LOO. Only about thirty
pupils are expected to graduate in
February. whereas officials of that
school estimate that $50 new pupils
will apply for admission at the be-
ginning of the midyear term.
Central High School, with a maxi
mum seating cu9acity of $500. now
has more than $500 pupils enrolled
and expects several hundred more to
apply in February. Here. too. the num-
Der scheduled to graduate after
Christmas is comparatively small
Western has an enrolment of 40
with a maximum seating capacity Of
$50. Eastern has approximately SIS
pupils, and a seating capacity of about
400.
Grade Schools Crowded.
The situation is nc less acute in the
grade schools, and Superintendent
Thurston is preparing now to make
definite recommendations to the board
of education for temporary measures
of relief. The superintendent is CIV
ing serious consideration to the pla-
toon plan, which, it is estimated,
would make it possible to increase the
capacity Of the grade schools by 2,400.
