which urged tao creation Of an archi-

building of all private properly In
the District, in similar fashion as
the Fine Arts Commission supervises
public buildings. This was urged as
Il means to prevent the erection Of

Alley Housing Conditions.
Capt. Emig proposed a resolution
which met enthusiastic Endorsement,
asking Congress to help solve the alley
housing and the parking problem at
one and the same time by purchase at a
fair price on condemnation proceedings,
alley houses. These houses, it was pro-
posed, should be torn down and the
space given over to parking, thus reliev-
ing the parking congestion.
The association also went on record
recommending its individual members
enter into contracts binding them not to
sell their property to negroes, under a
contract, similar TO one recently con-
irnled as valid by the District Court of

EARLY MAILING PLEA
IS BROADCAST BY new

Approximately. ia letters are re-
ceived by every man, woman and
child in the country yearly, but at
the Christmas and Easter seasons this
burden is heavier because every one
mails their postal packages at once.
Postmaster General New said last
night, broadcasting from WCAP.
The Postmaster General sought
eagerly to have every one mail their
articles early. in order that the en-
ployes may go home to their families
by IL O'Clock Christmas day. Last
night was the first time that the radio
has been used to inaugurate a cam
paign for early mailing, through %
radio stations.
Special stress is laid this year on
the fact that persons must mail their
packages early if the service is not
to be swamped by Christmas offe rings
mailed two or three days before the
holiday.

RAIL BILL BLOCKED,

Action by the House yesterday pre-
vented the How ell Barley bill to
abolish the Railroad Labor Board
from receiving consideration until
after the Christmas holidays. Rep
resentative Barley of III ntucky ad-
mitted that he does not expect to
make any progress on this measure
until after the first of the year.
At the same time he reiterated en-
phatically his intention of pressing
this measure to a vote. The bill is
unfinished business for the first and
third Monday of each month, and
could have been called up yesterday
had not the early adjournment out of
respect for deceased members pre-
vented. The third Monday Is Deem
Der Is, which, by resolution passed
yesterday in the House, will be de-
voted to AN official memorial service
for Woodrow Wilson.
