WOULD RAISE RATE
FOR RPAWNBROKERS
Commissioners Favor In
creasing It to 2 Per Cent
a Month.

The District Commissioners are op-
posed 20 allowing pawnbrokers to
! charge per cent interest a month on
| loans up to s35. but they are in favor
of fiat rate of per cent on all
pawnbrokirg business.
This is the substance of report
which they sent today to Senator
| Ball. chairman of the District com
mittee.
/; The city heads tell the senator that
while they do not regard 5 per- cent
unreasonable on loans up to S35. they
\ do not believe it is necessary for
pawnbrokers in the District to charge
more than 2 per cent.
The report makes it clear. how
ever. that the Commissioners believe
the existing rate of 1 per cent
month on pawnbroker loans is too
low and should be raised to per
cent as provided for in a bill sent
| Commissioners.
Report by Commissioners.
The report reads, in part, as fol-
lows:
! Senate bill No. 9S4. on which this
| report is made, provides for interest
at the rate of per cent per month up
| to and including sS5, and per cent
per month above this amount. While
these rates are not believed to be un-
reasonable, the Commissioners feel
! that it is unnecessary for pawnbrok-
! ers in the District of Columbia to
charge a greater rate of interest than
IL per cenum per month.
THE present law has been before
the courts and has been sustained as
to the legality of its provisions. The
Commissioners see no reason why
the provisions of this law should be
ate bill 9S4. the object of which is
! to practically write a new law on the
subject. They, therefore, recommend
unfavorable action on this bill, and
do recommend favorable action on
Senate bill No. 7.
They believe there is an urgent
necessity for the passage of this lat
ter bill. as under the rate of interest
fixed by the present law practically
no loans are now being made either
by pawnbrokers or other money lend
erS."
Other Bills Endorsed.
The Commissioners also made a IA
vorbale report to the Senate on the
bill to prevent the issuance of bad"
this bill is to punish persons who is
sue checks without having sufficient
funds in bank. and who refuse upon
demand to make the check good after
payment on it has been turned down

come from any piece-work plant and
you will see the effect plainly written
on thin faces, stopped shoulders and
subdued-looking mortals-too weary
to realize what ails them.
If you earn Sc day at piece work
and are cut down in the price of piece
you try to make up loss by more
speed-and more strain. The employ
er has you in the clutch that breaks
you down physically or sets you
adrift that faster workers may add to
the profits of the firm. Under the eff
ficiency drive, the whole nervous sys-
tenn rebels and you grow irritable, los
ing sight of the great aim in life that
all should have, namely, happiness.
Piece work pits workers against
each other and urges you to outstrip
others, who, while trying to keep up
with you, injure themselves and their
children, who are born weakened by
the cruelties put upon the bodies Gre
ated by God to his glory, and destroy
ed by man to his shame. Piece work
should be stopped by law for the good
of the race.-Chronicle.

Wise Man Who Saw the Trickery Did Not Poi

In years gone by, organized labor
always maintained that many, many
employers resorted to trickery to
fool the worker; carrying out the prac-
tice in shop, mine, mill, factory, etc.
The oftener this statement was made
by organized labor representatives,
the more emphatic was the denial on
the part of the employer. If attempts
were made to prove this statement by
employees, they were removed from
service on some ineffciency charge.
all of which ultimately meant black
listing.
For representative of the employ
er to come out openly and frankly
admit that trickery, conniving and
scheming had been practiced on the
employees is some revelation and
comes like a thunder clap from q

naturally this causes one to think of

and corrupt men fall out, honest men

COMMUNITY CHEST
DRIVE
Is Proving Successful--Many
Workers on the Job

The Community Chest is proving
very successful although many people
remain to be seen. The canvass in
most wards has been completed and
the Fourth Ward is now getting down
to work. Preachers dwelt on the Com
munity Chest last Sunday and in all
sermons during the week explaining
its purpose.
Sunday the real canvass will be
made for subscriptions and every home
in the city will be visited by the work
ers.
Democratic ward workers helped
most of the wards in completing the
organizations. At the call of VIM. F
Mason, secretary of the democratic or
ganization, members rallied to the
cause and are doing everything to put
the cause of the Community Chest
across.
More workers could be used and the
various organizations will gladly wei
come all those who will volunteer tc
assist in the big canvass of Sunday.

In the city of Chicago, there was

describing the industrial management
