that was not their idea of assistance

For instance, if Russia needed n

FIRST DEFENSE
OF GUARDIANS IS
MADE IN REPORT
Board Drafts Statement
Outlining Conditions for
Continuing Home.

The first oficial defense of the
Board of Children's Guardians was
prepared at a special meeting Of
the board yesterday afternoon. A
report to the District Commission
ers, the first statement of the
Guardians since beginning of the
Industrial Home School contro-
versy, was drawn up and will be
presented today. The report, 1t is
said, summarizes past practices of
the board with respect to handling
its wards. and outlines policies of
Guardians for the future.
While the report was not made
public. the following points in the
controversy, it is reported, are ex-
planned:
/. Conditions under which the
Board of Guardians will agree to
use the Wisconsin avenue home.
2. Statement Of reasons for aban-
doning this home and using pri-
vate institutions.
3. Declaration in favor of placing
children in real homes rather than
institutions.
Z. Expression of the desire of the
Guardians to cooperate with the
Commissioners in perfecting plans
for future administration.
VIII Demand Changes.
Under the first point. members of
the board explained that certain
changes will have to be made in
the administration of the Industrial
Home before II will be acceptable
to the Guardians. The exact ma
ture of the desired changes could
not be learned.
From other sources II was learned
that the Guardians will insist on
actual control of the Industrial
Home. This. IT is pointed out. would
mean the resignation of the trus-
tees OF the institution. Control of
the institution by one board and
of the inmates by another. it is
explained. has caused the friction.
The primary cause for abandoning
the Industrial Home. 1t is declared.
Is given as a desire for economical
handling of District wards
Adhering to the policy of placing
children in homes. the report. II is
said. shows this to be the general
practice in leading cities.
In view of President Millan's
statement to the commissioners
that 1t would be impossible to hold
meeting of the Guardians before
Tuesday. yesterdays action came as

Walk Out at 10 O'clock
This Morning.

with a walk-out OF virtually $500
railroad shopmen employed in the
Washington Terminal and other
railroad centers around Washington
scheduled for 10 o'clock this morn
ing. officials of the local railroad
terminal last night took steps to
prevent disorder among the strikers
by employing $50 special policemen
and detailing them in the Ivy City
and lexington yards.
Arrangements for the strike have
been completed, according to Charles
Il. Frazier. business agent for the
machinists' union. The men will re-
port for work this morning and
promptly at 10 o'clock they will lay
down their tools and walk out.
Expects Full waIksout.
Mr.. Frazier expressed the opinion
that Washington railroad craftsmen
will walk-out 100 per cent. More
than 1900 of them are employed by
the Washington Terminal at the
Union Station, Ivy City and Ecking-
ton yards, while 633 men employed
by the Southern Railroad will walk
out from Potomac yards and the
shops Of Alexandria.
Employees at the washington
Terminal would not discuss any
phase of the strike last night. A
train clerk had been left in charge
to answer telephone calls coming
in for officials of the terminal dur
ing their absence and reported that
he was not at liberty to discuss the
matter"
Local police yesterday took pre-
cautions to prevent trouble arising
in this city endangering life and
property in case of the strike, by
notifying the various precincts that
leaves of absence for policemen
will be cancelled and those now on
ment's notice.
Police to Be on Guard.
Inspector Charles A. Evans, act
ing superintendent Of police, said
he did not believe any trouble
would result from the strike, but
1t was his duty to consider any
eventuality.
In case trouble develops the po-
lice precincts in which railroad
property is located will be given
additional men and will also keep
platoons of men in reserve Pre-
cincts covering railroad property
include the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth.
Seventh. Eighth. Ninth. Tenth and
Eleventh.
The belief that the strike would
not interfere Immediately with
trains in and out of the city. was
expressed by Mr.. Frazier. He in
dicated. however. that its results
would be felt in a few days.
Big -Four Not IneIsded.
Employees of the local terminal, IL
was said. believe transportation will
continue to move, because train
service employees in the big four"
brotherhoods, as we'll as switchmen
and telegraphers. are not parties
to the controversy over wages and
working conditions.

Federal Prohibition Commits
sioner Haynes has been told of
devious methods of concealment re-
sorted to by moonshiners. In a
room 20 by 80 feet, underground,
Director Meadows, of Oklahoma,
found a huge boiler, 1864 gallons
of mash. 100 gallons of sugar and
los gallons of whisky.
Repeated searches had been
made. but nothing was discovered
until an officer started to dig the
hay out of feed racks. In the bot
tom of a rack under a layer of
dirt a trap door was found open
ing into a narrow tunnel leading
to the subterranean cavern 20 feet
outside the barn.
Several stills have been found
under hogpen floors, from which
the dirt from the hogs could fall
into the mash," said the commits
sioner.
Referring to underground stills,
Director McClenahan, of Colorado,
says he is employing dynamite
against them. Six months ago
