CONGRESS CRIPPLES
UTILITIES BOARD

Because Congress cut down the ap-
preparation and number Of employees,
the Public Utilities Commission Of
the District faces q serious situation
during the coming year.
1t is possible that the commission
will not be able to carry on as ex-
tensive work as II has been doing.
Ben Allen, executive secretary Of
the Commission, said today that in
event a big problem faces the COM
mission during the coming year. the
commission will be greatly handicap
ped and hardly able to handle II.
Probably the greatest trouble will
come in the loss of $4,000, which
money would have been used for
general expenses. An appropriation
of $4,000 was cut down to $4,000 in
the present District appropriation
bill. This appropriation is used large
ly to employ experts to study traffic
problems in the District.
Congress also reduced the salary Of
the engineer from $500 to $4,000.
Mr.. Allen states he does not think he
can get a competent engineer who
will work for this amount.

MONEY LACK
MAKES D. c.
ASK CREDIT
Congress Must Pass District
Bill or City Must Ask Bust
ness Men to Wait for Pay.

Unless the District bill IS passed
and becomes a law by next Tuesday.
the District Commissioners will ask
credit from business houses Of Wash
ington.
Alonzo Tweedale, District auditor.
said today he would issue orders for
maintenance supplies subject to ap-
propriation."
Failure OF Congress to pass the
District bill has put the District in
a precarious position. For the past
two months the District has been
getting its supplies on credit and 1t
was hoped the District could start
the new fiscal year on a cash basis.
Only the maintenance supplies will
be bought next week, Mr.. Tweedale
says, and other necessary things will
have to wait until the bill Is passed.
The Commissioners anticipate no
difficulty in securing credit from
Washington's business houses.
According to William Towers,
deputy auditor, the District owes over
$3.50, 900 to various business houses
in Washington.
"All of this money is in the de-
ficiency bill and we have hopes Of its
passage by the first" Mr.. Towers
said. The District is very anxious
to pay its debts and is waiting i'm
patiently for the appropriation"

ENGLAND TO KEEP
WOMEN IN INDUSTRY

LONDON, June 2S-women workers
who carried on in the machine
shops during the war will work at
semi-skilled jobs. principally in GER
tain new industries which British
capital is already preparing to ex-
plot on a considerable scale. They
will help manufacture articles Eng
land formerly imported from Ger
many, other continental countries or
America.
They will work here on equal foot
ing with men and with full consent
OF organized labor.
In response to appeals Of 100000
munitionettes threatened with being
ruled out Of the work shops by "resti-
tuition of the pre-war labor status"
the Amalgamated Society OF Engineers
has decided to sanction employment
Of women at repetition" work on
this basis, J. T. Brownie, president OF
the A. S. F., says.
Fix Women's Status.
A series OF conferences between the
A 8. z. and their employers began
May to draw up a postwar labor
agreement, including a stipulation
definitely fixing women's status in the
trade.
The Importance Of this may be
gagged from the fact that the A. S. E.
dominates the mechanical trades.
where the bulk Of war substitution Of
women took place.
Brownie declared that:
Munition plants are already under
going remodeling preparatory 10
manufacturing products England
either did not make at all before the
war or only to a very limited extent.
Other plants are to be expanded or
reconstructed for the same purpose.
VIII Absorb Female Help.
Brownie believed that this indus
trial xpansion-together with the
natural rOassimilation OF many war
workers into so-called women's trades
absorb a large part of the
present surplus of female help.
Barriers against women will re-
main, however, in the skilled occupa-
tons Of the trade, Brownie said All
women who have been replacing skill
ed artisans during the war will have
to leave and seek employment in the
semi-skilled lines.
Brownie said that for the purpose
of promoting confidence between the
employers and men" the A. S. Z. will
insist that the employers go through
the formality Of recognizing the pre-
war rights and privileges in toto (ia-
the old limitations upon Vom-
en- labor. This, he said, would
demonstrate the employers good
faith"

BRITISH TONNES
TO RECLAIM LAND

LONDON, June 2s.-How. to make
discharged. and disabled-or partially
so-soldiers and sailors independent
OF public or private charity is one Of
the questions that is at present occu-
plying the attention Of many people
in England.
Thomas H Mawson, the WelI-known
architect and town planner, who was
perhaps the first man to see the vital
necessity Of arranging for the future
OF the disabled soldier, and whose
book on this subject attracted gen
eral and serious attention, has
sketched out a plan for giving the
discharged men a permanent and
comfortable home with a certainty Of
material profits.
At the same time. while the disabled
or partially disabled men are to
beneft by this, the project is also
open to men who, having done their
bit" are looking for a settled home
life.
The proposition is to place these
men on reclaimed land around. the
English coast. There are many places
where the tide flows in twice a day
over good. rich land.
This land Is to be reclaimed and
given to the discharged soldiers for
cultivation. The British board Of
agriculture has already arranged to
survey these sections and build sea
walls to protest the land
One place has already been started
at Meathrop, a little village near
Liverpool. A corporate body known
as the Industrial Settlements, In
corporated. has been formed and this
society has arranged for the instruc-
ton Of the settlers in the art Of az
forestratlon and plant growing, ex-
pert instructors having been engaged
for this purpose.
All products of the land will be
sold through the society and the set
Elements themselves will be run on a
profit sharing basis, the organization
taking nothing from the proceeds
and the soldiers dividing the money
according to pre-arrangement.
The reason for asking for land near
large centers Is that II has been dis
covered that soldiers who have been
used to mingling with tneir fellows
in camps and fields on the various
battlefronts are not willing to go to
places where they may be shut OF
from companionship, except at some
expense Of time and money to reach
more crowded districts.

BUILD NOW

ing Of peace. Great Britain's war cahi-
net is expected to develop. into a
somewhat larger reconstruction eabI-
net The war cabinet comprised Ave
men, plus the prime minister. Now
Sir Eric Geddes, minister OF transport.
has been added.
1t Is expected that with a return to
conditions OF peace, the reconstruc-
ton cabinet will be augmented By
inclusion OF the foreign colonial,
Indian, and war secretaryships, the
first lord OF the admiralty, and the
minister responsible for trade ana
commerce, and perhaps the minister
Of labor.
AS at present constituted. the prime
ministers cabinet comprises some
forty men, including the chief minis
ters, secretaryships, and presidents OF
government departments. It II too
unwieldy to act quickly as q Whol0
body on any matter. Hence the ten
dency toward creation Of an inner
cabinet.
Commenting upon the possibility Of
such cabinet procedure, the Evening
Standard says some change may be
expected as regards the Colonial Sec
retaryship. the trend being for sep
aration Of the crown colonies from
the self-governing 3ominions and a
minister being appointed for the lat
ter only. Imperial preference in trade
and commerce for the dom!nions
would make the latter post import

president OF the council" says the
Standard, might well be reserved
for distinguished men who, freed OF
details Of administration, are states

should always be room for men like
Mr.. Balfour or Lord CurZon, who
have minds not 30 exclusively bent
on the present that they are mind
less Of the lessons OF the past or in
different to the dangers Of the fu-
ture.
THE probabilities are that there
will be a return, to a large extent, to
the collective cabinet responsibility

hope, to the days Of cabinet so I'M
