SETS RECORD
YEAR
Bureau Finds Places for
Large Number Of Men
During Week.

Placements of skilled and un.
skilled laborers in Washington made
the high weekly record for the year
this week when practically $50 men
were found employment by the
United States Employment Bureau,
141O Pennsylvania avenue.
Things generally are showing a
marked improvement in the labor
situation here" said Robert Pilking.
ton, superintendent of the bureau
today.
THE demand for labor, both
skilled and unskilled, is steadily
increasing and from present
prospects there will be little surplus
labor left unemployed by the end Of
the month.
"Our record for the present week
establishes a new high mark with
everything indicating that the de-
mand for help will continue for the
present about as it is now. Prac-
tically all lines OF business ARE
showing an upward trend, while
building operations are increasing.
The outlook is most promising and
nothing we can see threatens to
change It,"
An increasing demand is being
made for farm laborers. Many ap-
plications for laborers are being re.
ceived from Virginia and Mary
land, as well as from more distant
States. It Is known that a decided
increase in acreage planted has
taken place in the territory ada
cent to Washington, while a con.
tinual drainage of labor to indus.
trial points has drawn much of the
farm labor away from rural dis
tricts.

GASOLINE 7 AK
BILL FACES
DELAY
Measure May Die Through In
direction Owing to House
Directors.

Defeat Of the gasoline tax bill
through indirection today looms as
a possibility. The bill has already
been passed by the Senate and
House and the Senate has approved
the conference report.
Opponents. of the measure, it is
stated, can indefinitely block the
measure by delaying House action
on the conference report. The first
delay of this sort occurred when
the report was brought up in the
House yesterday afternoon.
Congressman FINS ]. Garrett, of
Tennessee, minority floor leader,
blocked consideration of the report
and declared that he would con.
tinue to object to approval Of the
report unless the House gave the
bill further consideration.
He stated that he is unalterably
opposed to the measure on the
ground that 1t imposes an unjust
tax burden on the people of the
District without reason.
CARROTS stand has been highly
commended by Representatives of
local civic and business organiza.
lions who are opposed to the
measure as 1t is now framed.

and said that as they had not "at-
tended school together" the matron
should address her by her last name.
