Union Members Would Re.

For District Ballot.

Votes for washington-the soon
er We get them. the quicker we
stop voting elsewhere"
This slogan was adopted last
night by representatives of the
Federal Employees Union. No. 2, at
the meeting held in Musicians Hall
Though many OF the members
present have a vote in their home
States. they announced themselves
willing to lose that vote when Con-
gress allows them to vote in this
city.
The union will do all in its power
to aid the Board of Trade, the
Chamber of Commerce and the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations to
secure votes for the people of the
National Capital in both a financial
and moral way.
The street railway problem, the
high cost of living. the Good amend
ment to the Nolan minimum wage
bill and the matter of votes for
Washington made up a program of
business which created more inter-
est and discussion than any order
of business yet transacted.
The executive committee of the
union will at once get in touch with
the legislative committee of the ma
tional body to kill the Good amend
ment to the Nolan bill, which would
deny the benefits of the S240 in
crease to employees of the 5000 to
$500 a year class.
The street railway problem will
have early attention. The board Of
representatives has instructed its
executive committee to cooperate
with other unions in the matter of
traffic problems.
The Senate Committee, which will
soon investigate the cost of living
in the District will have at its dis
posal the results of an investigation
to be made by the executive COM
mittee of the board of representa-
tives, which were directed last night
to aid the Senate Committee in
every way possible.

With these conditions in view, the
United States is called upon to re-

Citizens Association last night raj
lied to the support Of the Home De-
