Wholesale Prices Unchanged.
Both Brsdstreet's and Dun's in
dex numbers show that wholesale
prices were virtually unchanged
during July, the decline being 0.3
per cent in the case of the former
and OIL In the case Of the latter.
While the general average of prices
Is stable, there was a considerable
shifting of values among the diff
ferent commodity groups. Food
stuffs were lower than month
ago, the decline in this case being
a seasonal movement. while prices
of textiles. metals and fuel have
advanced.
Wholesale prices in Great Brit
ain. as shown by the index number
of the Economist. are likewise
showing increasing signs of stabil-
ity. During July. according to this
index. prices in the United Kingdom
advanced 0.2 per cent. The chief
difference between the movement
there and in this country appears
to be in the tendency OF prices Of
British textiles to soften while they
are becoming somewhat firmer In
the United States.

CITIZENS INSISTENT
ON INSPECTION OF
SCHOOLS THEATER
Write Second Letter to
Commissioners Request
ing Expert.

Criticizing the District Commits
sioners for failure to appoint a
committee of experts TO pass on the
safety OF the new Eastern High
School auditorium the Connecticut
Avenue Citizens Association last
night reaffirmed its previous stand
on the question.
A resolution again calling on the
Commissioners to have an inspec-
ton made was adopted after a pro-
longed discussion between Snowden
Ashford, former municipal archi-
tect. who designed the school: AL
bert l. Harris. present municipal
architect, who modified the plans.
and William ,. Westlake, president
In their reply the Commissioners
stated that the auditorium was an
assembly hall and not a theater and
that IL had been safely passed by
committee representing the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects. They
further stated that they accepted
full responsibility of the present
plans.
To this acceptance of responsible
ity the citizens reply. the underly-
ing concern of the parents of the
community for the safety and well
fare of their children is not satisfied
by any personal assumption of re-
sponsibility on the part of public
officials."
During the discussion Harris
showed pictures of the progress be-
ing made in the construction OF
school buildings. A letter from
DR.. Frank W. Bsllou, superintend-
ent of schools. stated that provi-
sions for a school building fol
Woodley road and Fairgrounds fol
the John Eaton School will be con-
sidered in making up the next es.
Inmates for appropriations.
The association reiterated its po'
position in regard to street cal
line poles in the center of Con.
necticut avenue beyond Calvert
street bridge and requested the
Public Utilities Commission to re-
place them with poles along the
sides until such time as they can
substitute a conduit system.
The distance for which the change
is asked extends from the bridge
to the Geological Park or to Cleve-
land Park. On May 81 a man was
killed at Connecticut avenue and
Cathedral road from collision with
center pole.
Resolutions. opposing a reduction
in the minimum wage for women
workers, and opposing the location
of the Home for the Feeble Minded
at Blue Plains were referred to the
executive committee.

to any rail strike, are not included
because they face no wage cuts. The

also face no immediate wage cut.
1t is announced that strike bal
lots have not been sent to more
than 100000 clerks, station en-
ployes. and freight handlers.

possibility the six shop crafts unions
