A QUOTATION CORRECTED.
Mrs. Costigan's Remarks About
Food Costs Misstated.
o the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor of The Star:
Will you do me the favor of print
ing brief correction? In last night S
Star l was quoted as saying that the
board of directors of the Woman
City Club have every confidence in
the Department of Justice and its
ability to bring down the high cost
of living"
This report is erroneous. 1 am not
a member of that board and did not
speak for it. The substance of what
l said, as chairman of the food COM
mittee, was that women are expecting
Congress to pass further necessary
legislation to curb spectators and
profiteering. and are urging the De-
partment of Justice to prosecute Wig
orously all law violators. This was in
accordance with the resolutions in
dorsed by the board.

Clerks and Overalls.
70 the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star
For once the poor government clerk
scores. 1t has been noticed through
the newspaper columns that the union
labor bodies Of Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia condemn the clerks
wearing overalls Should unions dictate
always? They claim the clerk wear
ing overalls boosts the price to the
man who has to wear them at his
daily work. There are many. many
government clerks who welcome the
opportunity to wear them. 1t is not
fad 1t has in reality to many be-
come a necessity. For the past nifty
years the clerks salaries have prac-
