j. s. MAY GIVE
HOLIDAY PAY

About 4,2O0 OF the per diem en-
ployes of the Federal Government
in the District probably will receive
full pay for the holiday declared
by President Coolidge for next Mon
day, the day before Christmas.
Legislation placing the per diem
employees, including $500 workers
in the Washington Navy Yard on
the same basis as the regular Civil
Service employees has been favorably
reported by the House expenditures
committee, and may be acted upon
before the House adjourns today.
Similar legislation is pending in the
Senate.
Under the terms of the McCarl
ruling of 1922, the per diem en-
ployes would be deprived of their
days pay for the holiday if special
action were not taken by Congress.
Similar legislation was passed in
1925, when Saturday. December 26,
was declared a holiday.
In addition to the employees OF
the Washington Navy Yard work
ers in the Naval Observatory and
several hundred in the custodial
service in the various departments
are affected by the legislation.

DROP Gas SUIT,
D. c. 5 PLEA

The District Supreme Court to-
morrow will be asked by w. w.
Bride. corporation counsel, to quash
the valuation suit OF the Washing.
ton Gas Light Company, which has
been pending for more than a
decade.
This move will be made as the
attorneys for the gas utility asks
the court to put the case on it's
calendar for a hearing.
New Valuation to Be Made
The joining of the issue in this
way is likely to clear up at least
one legal phase of the valuation
tangle.
The motion to be made by the
Corporation Counsel is based on
the theory that a new valuation
will have to be made by the Public
Utilities Commission in the near
future.
The commission recently declined
to 90 further with its valuation
hearings until the Washington Gas
Light Company was ready to go
into court and ask the dismissal of
it's old suit. This it declined 10 do

z ARRESTED IN
GAMING RAIDS
Times staff Photo

With twelve arrests made in less
than a week in drive against slot
machines, headquarters detectives
secured the city today in search
of other gambling devices"
The drive is being made under
orders from Major Edwin B. Hesse.
superintendent of Police. who is
alarmed over reports that school
children have been gambling away
their allowance.
A group of Central High School
students were "squandering their
money" in one of the. four ma
chimes seized yesterday in a series
of raids conducted by III. E. Brodie
and Frank A. Varney, headquarters
detective sergeants.
The pupils were scrambling for
position in front of the parapher-
MALTA when the raiders swooped
down on store in the HOO block
of Florida Ave. N. w. Angelo
Rounel, %, in charge of the place,
was arrested on q charge OF per.
mitting gaming.
Under Lew ruling by the Dis
trict Attorneys office, the proper
charge when nickels or quarters are
played in the devices is setting up
a gaming table. Permitting gaming
is the charge when slugs redeem.
able in merchandise are used.
The others taken into custody
yesterday are William Rosenberg,
"a, of the $500 block Sherman Ave
n. W.. charged with setting up a
gaming table; Irving Kogod. 26, of
the 2600 block Eherman Ave. N. W..
charged with setting up a gaming
table, and Joseph Tash, %, of the

CUTS
ARE: BIC
FEAR

Members of the farm bloc
in the Senate are expected to
join the opposition to the
Stalker bill to locate the
farmers ! market in Southwest
Washington as a result Of the
protest against the bill filed
with Virginia Senators yes
ferday by so Virginian
farmers.
Opponents Of the measure, includ-
ing Senators Capper Of Kansas and
Tydings and Bruce Of Maryland.
are planning to seek the aid of the
farm bloc to prevent the passage
Of the measure. and will use the
letter from the Virginia farmers to
get this assistance.
Fear Price-C Cutting
In their letter the farmers charged
that the Stalker bill is being pushed
for the benefit OF the middleman
and would place the farmers at
the mercy of the middlemen, who
would unquestionably take advan
tage of the situation to force down
prices which they would pay the
farmers"
They also said that. "in the face
of professions of friendship for
farmers which have been so much
proclaimed. it would be nothing
short of betrayal of public trust to
pass the bill.
The letter also shows that the
sentiment among the farmers who
sell their products in the market
is almost unanimously opposed to
the southwest location.
MaryIanders Opposed
Maryland farmers have been
fighting the southwest location
vigorously ever since it was pro
posed. Now that the Virginia
farmers have joined them 1t is
almost unanimous.
1t appears unlikely now. that the
Stalker bill will come to a vote in
the Senate before the Christmas
recess. Senator Glass. however, is
planning to bring it up soon after
the vacation.

OF the committee more chance to
crystallize their ideas of what sort
Of q temporary home should be pro
vided.
