Mother Asks Navy Why
Torpedo Boats Drowned
Son on Bathing Beach

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August II.
An appeal to the Navy department
for an investigation into the actions
of officers on a fleet of U. S. tor
pedo boat destroyers has been filed
by Mrs. Seidel of this city. She wants
to know what right the destroyers
have to drown her son and his girl
companion on a public bathing beach.
The swell from the boats which were
engaged in maneuvers swept five
bathers out of their depth, and tho
three were rescued, Chas. Seidel and
Mamie Bryzinski lost their lives.
Perhaps an investigation will pre-
vent other mothers from losing their
sons" Mr. Seidel said. "There must
be some way to keep the ships away
from bathing beaches.

Building is an overmanned industry
giving its workers only about 10 per
cent of fulltime employment, accord
ing to statistical analysis of the
construction industry in Ohio by the
Ohio university bureau of business
research. The bureau shows that on
the average throughout the year the
building trades worker has only about
9 months employment.
Seasonal Work Hard On Buildings.
The survey covers the years 1914
to 1924. 1t shows that during jan
uary and February on an average
only about half the workers in the
industry are employed and that dur
ing 5 months of the year less than p
are employed. There are only 4
months of the year in which more
than 95 per cent of the building
trades workers have jobs.
The building industry has been
called the balance wheel of American
business. The report says this bal
ance wheel is decidedly off center"
1t points out that highly fluctuating
seasonal activity is not necessary but
is "a carryover of the customs and
technic of former period"
Unemployment Figures.

employment and unemployment and

Cabinet
Escapes Defeat by
One Ballot Margin

DUBLIN, Aug. II. - The fate of
the Irish Free State government of
President William T. Cosgrave, VIC
torious by single ballot for a vote
of confidence in the Dali Eireann last
night, now depends upon the result
of two by-elections to be held in Dub
lin county and Dublin city next week.
In both contests government party
deputies are running for reelection.
Should they win, it is understood
President Cosgrave will not resign,
but should the seats go against him
il is though likely he will ask Gov
ernor-General Healy to dissolve the
Dali Immediately and call for gen.
eral election.

The battle for representation for
women in the Georgetown Citizens
Association. which thus for has re-
suited in the women organizing new
group In which there is no sex dis
| elimination, is coming to the fore
once again.
Members of the Georgetown Citi-

| ing that they vote to change the
constitution at the meeting March 28.

Those signing the circular are
Alvin f, Dodd. John Ihlder. Archi-
bald King, George King. George w
Offutt, Richard w. Oulahan, Lloyd b.
Wight and J. B. Wyckoff.
After summarizing the arguments
in favor of admitting women to mem
bership and pointing out that women
have expressed desire to join, the
circular points out that women are
legally recognized on parity with
men as citizens and should partici-
pate in truly representative associa-
ton.
Have Double Representation.
"Women can, if they wish. form an
association or their own, II states,
land such an organization has been
formed.
but this is not the best way to
meet the situation and is justified
only IL the Georgetown Citizens AS
ISOLATION refuses them membership.
1t means two groups claiming to rep
resent the same territory, which may
adopt antagonistic policies because
there are no means of bringing them
together and reaching a common
understanding. To propose joint
council or other super.organization
seems to us a proposal for needless
piece of machinery which will prob
ably cause friction and certainly will
entail added effort and expense
Moreover 1t would involve either
grant of powers to the joint council
which would deprive the citizens as
ISOLATION of much of it's interest, or
a constant reference back to the as
ISOLATION, which would cause inter-
minable delays.
1.-THE women's association has been
granted representation in the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations. This
means double representation in the
federation with the possibility of one
association neutralizing the other"
