D. c. UNITY
URGED BY
BALL
Senator Says Committee Of
All Civic Groups Should Plan
Needed Legislation

The city of Washington will
never get its just deserts from
Congress until it unites on some
definite form Of representation, SO
that its claims can be properly
presented to the House and Senate.
This IL the opinion Of Senator
L. Heisler Ball, who retires as
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, March 4, and who ID q
staunch supporter Of all legisla-
tion for the improvement Of the
Capital City.
Must Get Together.
All Of the local civic organize
tons and trade bodies should get to-
gether and select committee Of
three to serve as representatives Of
the District in presenting the city's
needs to Congress, in Senator Balls
opinion. He thinks the present
method of holding District hearings
and attempting to ascertain the will
Of the people here 10 confusing and
homogeneous.
There ought to be some way In
which Washington can be represent
ed as a unit before Congress" Sen
ator Ball said today at the White
House. Eat present there Is too
much working at cross purposes. 1t
Is difficult, and in some cases impoS-
sible for Congress to find out what
the local population really wants.
We have conflicting advice on in
formation given us by local organl-
cations.
Probably every Senator is ap-
preached at some time or other by
q local organization advocating its
particular claims. These Senators
naturally get a one-sided view OF
the situation and when they com.
pare notes find themselves In the
middle Of local controversy which is
distasteful. The result often is
that nothing IL accomplished be-
cause the District organizations are
working against each other.
Committee Practicable.
ut seems to me practicable that
a small committee of citizens should
be elected to represent Washington
in the annual hearings before Con-
gress. This committee would be
Independent Of the local Govern
ment and ought to be representa-.
tive Of public opinion in the
Capital"
Senator Ball is leaving his asso-
citation with the local citizens with
deep regret, but intends to maintain
al interest in Washington affairs.
It lie understood Senator Capper is
virtually certain to succeed him as
chairman of the Senate District
Committee.
Regarding pending District legis-
lation, Senator Ball today said he
did not think further attempts
would be made to pass the rent
bill in the Senate. Without action
in the House it would be foolish to
waste time on the measure in the
Senate, he said.

Love of adventure and hate of
school are said to have prompted
Charles Smith, twelve, and Clar,
ence E. Hanback,, eleven, to de-
sert their family hearths and take
up residence in a ramshackle hut
they built on Fifteenth street near

Charles mother saw him today
in an alley near their home where
he was foraging for provisions but
his youthful legs carried him out
of her reach.
Three boys at first made up the
runaway gang but one Of them
was caught yesterday when lie
came near the den on Icehonse
Hill. Their mothers say Charlie
and Clarence have been playing
hockey from school for some time
and they hope that anyone able to
catch them will notify the parents

NEW REVENUE
BUILDING
Senator Will Seek immediate
ActIon-$2,5 o0,o 900 Is
Sought

/ An eleventh-hour effort to build
at least one new Federal structure
in Washington during the fiscal
year, 1925, Is to be made by Sen
ator Reed Smoot, chairman Of the
Public Buildings Commission.
An amendment to one Of the de-
ficiency appropriation bills will be
offered by Senator Smoot providing
the money for constructing new
Internal Revenue building here.
Probably an appropriation Of
81, SOC, 900 will be asked for this
purpose. Senator Smooth said to-
day at the White House that the
public buildings bill had been lost
in the legislative jam in Congress,
but he was hopeful that at least
the one building he asked for
would be accepted by Congress
when the deficiency measure 10
under consideration.
Conditions at the Internal Revo-
nue. Bureau are criminal" SmoOt
said, after discussing the matter
with President Coolidge. Val
liable records are stored in a
flimsy way in temporary buildings,
and it is appalling to think what
would happen to the Treasury Of
the United States If these records
should be lost or destroyed. Thou
sands of tax suits in the courts de-
pend upon these records. Without
them the Government would be
helpless"
The campaign in favor Of

ably will make a further survey of

tons during the coming summer

Suggests Arbitration

Denying the request of train

George e. Hamilton, president Of

with q plea for a decrease in pay
from SO to Sc cents an hour.

we suggest that arbitration be re-

In q letter to John H. Goodman,

Holds Increase Unjustified.
Mr.. Hamilton's letter states that
Increase in wages obtained
through arbitration in 1924. over
the schedule Of wage established by
the contract Of 1923. was not, in our
opinion, justified by existing con-
ditions.
Further increase in wages now
asked by you in your letter Of
February "a is still less justifiable
and is not. supported by a cor
responding increase in the cost OF
living over said costs In 1928,
when the contract was entered into.
1--WE believe that conditions, fair.
~ considered, the schedule OF wages
agreed upon and contained in the
agreement between US Of the 10th
day Of March, 1928. should be re-
tnstated."
Suggests Arbitration.
while willing now or at any
time to confer with you or other
representatives of our employees,
we think in view of the fact that
we are so far apart in our judg-
ment and conclusions on this sub
Jet that ii would be useless to at
tempt an agreement by conference,
and suggest that arbitration be re-
sorted to-.
