D. c. GOVERNED
POORLY, SAYS
DR.RYAN
Cleric Speaks Before Council
of Catholic Men in st.
Martins Parish.

The District Of Columbia govern
ment is seriously defective, the Rev.
DIR. John A. Ryan, head of the de-
partment Of social action, National
Catholic Welfare Conference, de-
clared last night in an addressed be-
fore the st. Martins council Of
Catholic men, held in the church's
parish hall.
This is of course" said DIR.
Ryan, due principally to the fact
that the residents Of the District
have no voice in the selection Of
public officers; that Congress Is too
busy to give District affairs the
attention they deserve, and that
the Commissioners know that they
may pursue a given course without
fear of being required to answer
for their conduct to the people
whose best interests 1t is their duty
to promote.
"If the government of the Dis
trict is not the very worst to be
found IN any State or municipality
in the country, it is at least seri.
ously defective"
DR.. Ryan deplored the lack Of a
workmen's compensation law and
similar legislation in the District.
Officers of st. Martins council
were installed last night. They
were: The Rev. M. J. Riordan, aon-
orary president: Joseph Petit, prBi.
dent; Gus A. Maurer, vice president
Thomas II. Flint, secretary, and
A. A. Peter, treasurer.
Anthony ]. Barrett, president of
the national conference Of Catholic
men, spoke. He told of the deer
interest expressed by Archbishop
Michael ]. Curley in the affairs of
the national conference.
