organization, appeared as members OF
a committee of the federation to ex-
plain why they thought it necessary
for all associations, to become mem
bers of the federation.
The South Washington association
last month voted to withdraw from
the federation. and the committees
visit was for the purpose of making
an effort to induce members to re-
consider its action. President Baker
and Mr.. Speelman explained the aims
of the federation and said each body
needed the help of the other. They
explained that the federation crys-
tallizes and formulates the wishes OF
the people of the entire District. act
ing as clearing house for the forty
associations belonging to it. Con-
fusion and Decentralization usually re-
suit from failure to have concerted
action, President Baker stated.
Admita Change of Mind.
George NJ. Yeatman. president of
South Washington citizens frankly
admitted he had changed his mind
on the question. Practically every
member in attendance favored re-
turning to the association. and the
question will be definitely determined
at the next meeting.
r. c. Smith called attention to the
dropping of hundreds of navy yard
employees and said he thought the
association should communicate with
for a distribution of the funds In
such manner as to retain the greatest
number of employees.
Washington cannot absorb the
1.5oo men discharged from the serv-
ice," he declared.
Martin Wiegand gave hearty ap-
proval to the suggestion. No private
business man would do what the gev-
ernment did with the navy yard en-
ployes, he said. Business men would
continue the employment of faithful
employees Who had been in their serv-
ice for years or would give them am
pie notice of an intention to drop
them.
Make Home Payments.
Many of the men employed in the
navy yard are making payments on
homes, Mr.. Wiegand stated. and their
sudden dropping from their employ
ment probably will mean the loss
of what they have invested. He
thought the government should do
something for these men.
Mr.. Smiths suggestion was put In
the form of motion and passed.
On motion of James Gordon. the as
sociation voted an Endorsement Of the
Capper bill providing free textbooks
for pupils in the high schools.

fore the Interstate Merchants Council

be only one class Of merchandise dis

"Mr. Daugherty, I believe it is one
of three things: You are either play

that the latter is the case. And you
