Nothing is so bad for a city," said
Chairman l. B. Koch of the civic and
industrial committee in speaking Of
the housing situation, than to turn
folks away through lack of housing
facilities, and for this reason the
chamber is trying to assist in this
emergency"
Mr.. Koch said the chamber does not
wish to list houses and apartments

estate companies, but is only desirous
of helping these companies in this
matter during the coming spring ana
summer.
IF your houses are already listed

not turn them in to the chamber, for
this means a duplication in effort"

WAGE CASE

Re-affirming his former position.
Justice James A. Cobb. of the
Municipal Court, ruling yesterday
in a test case brought by the
Columbia Typographical Union
No. 101, against the United States
Daily, held that the wage scale
increase granted the printers on
March /, 1926. was payable on q
retroactive basis.
BY the courts decision, Charles
A. Nichols, 1915 r st. N. W., a
printer employed by the publication,
was awarded 1915 back wages
The United States Daily con-
tended it was not member of the
Publishers Association of the City
of Washington, the organization
making the wage increase agree
ment with the union, and was
therefore not bound to the retro.
active agreement. The paper has
paid the increase since the actual
granting Of the higher scale.

Idle Half Time
"W found, however, that the girls
In the numbering division actually
were working only hours and 40
minutes out Of the eight-hcur day,
or in other words almost half time
was not devoted to their work.
'This was largely due to faulty
supply of work, which kept them
waiting frequently. The girls also
were given rest periods of 10 min.
utes after counting each 1000
Sheets"
Owing to the faulty supply of cur
rency for the girls to count most Of
them were practically idle from the
time they reported at 5 a. m. until
abd1t sos a. M, when the sheets
began to come through for counting,
Mr.. Schoeneman stated.
"This unsatisfactory condition will
be remedied by readjustment Of the
| supply system so as to give a more
even now and give the girls con.
tinuous supply Of sheets" he ex.
planned.
.'The idle opening hour win be
cared for by holding over supply
from the preceding day and SO secur'
ing more even distribution Of the
work.
"The rest periods also can be cut
down without detriment to the health
of the girls. 1t was felt that two 81

eliminated and some Of them reduced
without harm"

zldrdge Praises 3O-Dlile Speed Limit
.CCIDEN
FEWER

Htgl-speed boulevards have
proved successful here, Acting Traf.
fic Director NJ. o. Eldridge am
nounced today, basing his con-
clusion on accident figures on three
OF the main 30-mile-an.hour high
ways.
The figures reveal that there
were less injuries and deaths on the
high-speed stretches on Sixteenth
Street, Massachusetts, Avenue and
Connecticut Avenue during January,
February and March Of this year,
with q 3O-mile.an-hour speed limit,
than on the same sections during
the first three months Of last year
with q 22-mile-an-hour speed limit.
In order to compare accident fig
ures on the 30-mile speed limit with
accident totals on the lower limit,
Eldridge had q chart prepared COM
pairing the same streets during the
same periods Of the year under the
two limits. The sections he chose
were Massachusetts Avenue. from
Belmont Road to the District Line;
Sixteenth Street, from Spring Road
to Alaska Avenue. and Connecticut
Avenue, from Van Ness to Harri-
SON Streets.
The combined report for these
three streets shows that during
each period there were IL accidents.
There were four injuries and no
deaths with the S0-nnile speed limit,
however. as compared with five
injuries and one death within the
22-mile limit.
"These figures show that in add.
ton to speeding up traffic and elm.
mating traffic jams. high speed on
certain streets will actually cut
down accidents and injuries rather
than increase them. as some people
claimed It would" Eldridge declared
