Financial and Legislative
Neglect Charged in Re-

LIST OF FAILURES
COVERS 40 YEARS
Recommended Appropria-
tions Not Half Enough
And Even Those Pared.

Stripping away the maze of un-
certainties surrounding the Wash
ington school problem, the third
section of Superintendent of
Schools Frank w. Ballou's annual
report, made public yesterday, lays
bare the financial and legislative
neglect to which the schools have
been subjected and points uncom-
promisingly to Congress as the sole
agency responsible for the deplor-
able conditions.
Two charges are outstanding In
the superintendent's report. They
are:
1. That instead of lessening. con-
gestion in District schools is grow =
ing worse each year: that because
of physical needs which only Con-
gress can supply, the educational
system is Geteriorating.
2. That the need of the education
al system Is a common sense ad-
justment of income to the needs of
a growing city.
Forty Years of Failures.

shows, Congress has dragged the

II. Wilkerson ruled today in sus-
tanning the governments plea for a
temporary injunction.
Judge Wilkerson's decision. which
granted every request made by At
torney General Daugherty, gave life
to one of the most sweeping injunc-
tions ever issued by Federal court.

places the preliminary restraining
writ issued by Judge wilkersou
several weeks ago. restricts the ac-
tivities of 27O officers and 100000
members of the six federated shop
crafts.
Will BE Argued tomorrow.
The exact form of the injunction
will be argued before the. judge
Monday.
Following issuance of the formal
injunction, it is expected hearings
will be held to determine the per-
mancncy cf the decision.
If the government desires the in
junction to be permanent. further
evidence of alleged violence must
be introduced. The injunction is
sued today is a modification of the
restraining order, in that under its
provisions the shop crafts are per-
mitted to use their sick benefit
