Department OF JUSTICE
MAY MOVE TO 9Th AND 3
Public Buildings Commission for
Removal Unless $75, ZOO
Rent Is Accepted.

The Public Buildings Commission
at q meeting yesterday decided that
the Department of Justice should
continue to occupy the building now
leased ut Vermont avenue and X
street at the rate of $4,000 year,
or, IL this rent Is not accepted by
the owners, 1t should be moved 10
one of the temporary government
buildings at 9Th and B streets north
west.
The Department has paid for the
building 1t now occupies about $780,
600 a year rent The owners of the
building. according to Senator Smoot,
chairman of the Public Buildings
Commission. are asking that the rent
be increased to about 100000 a. year.
In the state and Justice appropria-
ton bill, recently passed by the SEN
ate, the rate was increased to $4,000
year. The bill Is now in conference.
II the owners refuse to accept the
$4,000, then 1t is the sense of the
Public Buildings Commission that the
Department should be moved into
the temporary building mentioned
However, the department may refuse
to move unless compelled to do SO
through court action by the owners.
The Ball rent act does not cover
business properties, and the office
buildings occupied by the Depart
ment of Justice apparently come I'M
der that category.

Counsel Asked for Opinion on
Minor Matter, Says Engi-

The Public Utilities Commission

authority from Congress.
This was stated yesterday by En-

ed that the view Of counsel was
sought merely because of the differ

companies are prohibited from get

an enabling act.
The Commissioners about year
ago had the officers Of both systems
in conference at the District building
for several weeks In an effort to arr

merge, but no such middle ground was
found. Since the holding Of those
conferences. both the communication and

OFFER WAYS TO END STRIKE
Leaders of Both Sides Give Sug-
gestions in Debate.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 22-Two meth
DDS of ending the national coal strike
were proffered last night In a de-
bate at the Hotel Aston in which
leaders of both sides of the present
industrial crisis participated.
Philip Murray, vice president of the
United Mine Workers of America, an
nounced that the coal workers were
ready to return to the mines at once
If Congress would apply the bitumin-
Gus coal commissions wage award of
1870 to present operations, TO remain
IN effect until conference of miners
and operators could be arranged
Thomas II. Watkins. president of
the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke COM
pany. countered with a challenge to
Mr.. Murray TO put the men to work
on the 1917 scale and save yourselves
and the whole country a lot of
trouble"
Mr.. Murray charged his opponent
with being the Alexander Howat
among the coal operators of western
kins had disrupted even his own
organization by his inconsistent
policies.
The coal operator retorted by
charging that officials of the United
Mine Workers of America were de-
liberately melting the workers to
class hatred of capital and all 1t rep
resents.
Anthracite. operators, who had an
nounced that they would submit to
the miners the terms upon which
they would sign an agreement end
ing the strike. contented themselves
with simple reiteration of their
general demand that wages como
down.
AT the close of session of the
joint subcommittee on wage contract
negotiations, S. d. Warmer, spokes-
man for the operators. said:
We Informed representatives of
the anthracite miners, with whom We
have been in conference since March
10, that it was our firm conviction
that wage and other demands which
would result in an increase in the
price of coal could not be granted.
On the contrary. our attitude was
that there must be a substantial re-
duction in wages"

URGED FOR HOME
Should Be Minimum for lnsti-
tuition for Feeble Minded,
: SAYS A. D. Call.

Five hundred acres is the minimum
acreage which should be considered
for the proposed home for the feeble
minded, according to a statement ls-
sued last night by President Arthur
D. Call of the Monday Evening Club.
Data secured from the bureau of
the census show that the average
acreage per capita Of similar insti-
buttons of the country Is ZAP. BY
that standard, Mr.. Call states, Wash
ington should start on the basis Of
500 patients, with something over
b 1000 acres.
Figures presented by Mr.. Call give
California with an institution possess
ing 1.76o acres and capacity OF
1,164 patients; Iowa with an institu-
ton of LOIS acres and capacity OF
1900 patients: Maine with an insti-
tuition of 1,217 acres and capacity OF
1000 patients. Many other states
show similar relationships.

Call said;

nothing short of calamity to pro-

opinion Ia shared by the Board OF

workers of Washington. We believe

Institution have named as a minimum
requirement an acreage OF not less
than 500 to 1000 acres. This Is the
least acreage that should be consid-
cred for an institution that must pro-

separation of the groups to insure
privacy and protection for each, and
sufficient land for cultivation TO the
point of self-maintenance as far as

LAS recommended by the Monday

ton taken at this session of Congress
than to have the future growth of the
Home for the Aged and Inf1rm and the

share their less than 800 acres with
an Institution like the Institution for

developed within the limited space
