Sow Seeds in Capital
While this agitation is in progress
representatives from the Russian gov
ernment have banqueted with Ameri-
can bankers and are now sowing the
seed of their pernicious doctrine in
the capital of our nation.
"The American Federation of Labor
at its convention in Atlantic City Oc-
tober 5-16, 1925, unanimously con-
demned in vigorous language the COM
munistic philosophy and the whole
dictatorship in Russia.
The plan of sending committee
to Russia is not in the interest of the
wage earners of the United States or
of the people generally. 1t is in the
interest Of the few communists who
are endeavoring to hold power in Rus
sia, to strengthen that power and
to extend its influence throughout the
other nations of the world.
"Such a committee will not be rep.
resentative Of the labor movement and
will not be recognized by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. 1t will be
organized in the interest of the COM
munists and against the interest of
the American labor movement.

Washington, D. C.
Close on the heels of President
Coolidge's announcement that "al-
though more than 40 of our states
have enacted measures in aid of
motherhood, the District Of Columbia
is still without such law" Senator
Wadsworth and Representative Mills
presented identical bills to aid desti-
tute mothers in the District Of Colum-
bia. 1t is of course to be hoped these
bills will be adopted, but we can not
overlook the fact that Representative
Keller, of Minnesota, had a similar
bill which died in the closing days of
the last congress and reintroduced it
at the opening of the present con-
gress.
Senator King, of Utah, is fathering
little bill making it misdemeanor
to make or repeat any false statement
tending to injure the character of any
person within the District of Colum-
bia. This is one of those regulations,
which if enacted, will be as easy to
enforce as the prohibition law.
Senator Wesley L. Jones, of Wash
ington state, has introduced bill pro-
posing an amendment to the consti-
tuition to allow the people Of the Dis
trict of Columbia to elect senators
and representatives in congress.
Otherwise the folks here will still be
step-children of the government and
not allowed to participate in munich
pal affairs, having no privileges ex-
cept that of paying taxes, which, by
the way, are just double what they
were five years ago.

For the 24.hour period ended 1T

times.
The previous high record was on
July 23, OF this year, when slightly
over $4,000, 900 gallons for the 2
hour period were consumed
Every effort has been put forth By

increasing demands On the reser
yoirs without avail
Pumps Unequal 70 Demand
j. 8. Garland, superintendent OF
the department, sent the following
communication to Engineer Com
missioner J. Franklin Bel today.
with the request that It be pub
lished
During the protractsd hot
weather experienced the past few
days the consumption Of water ha
reached such q point as to excees
the capacity Of the Water Depari
ment pumping equipment, with tn
result that certain OF the hiehe
sections OF the District have bee
temporarily without water services.
Tnis condition constitutes q seri
GUS menace, and only through the
cooperation Of all residents can Il
be renaedied.
Economy Is Urged
Residents are urged to restrict
the use OF water during the periods
allowed for sprinkling lawns, that
is 5 q. m. to 8 q. M. and p. III.
to s p. M, to one hour daily until
the emergency has passed.
Garland said that he believed that
the citizens were not intentionally
wasting water but the huge con-
sumption record naturally followed
the hot wave.
