questing the secretary of labor to

Coolidge and the Republican admin
istration had led the country into
false position of security about
employment conditions while Repub-
licans claimed that the Democrats
were Gas usual playing politics in
presidential year.
The resolution was sponsored by
Senators Wagner and Copeland,
Democrats, New York, who are
closely allied with the Alfred +.
Smith presidential campaign.

president misinformation about high
wages and plentiful employment at
a time when all the evidence indi-
Gated wages were dropping and
ranks of the diseontented were daily
being recruited by new armies of
unemployed" Wagner, who is an
Al Smith leader, declared in his
maiden speech as n senator.
"But l do know that it was II
grave responsibility to lull Congress
and the nation into the belief that
conditions were satisfactory. Its
effect was to lead to Congressional
and national inaction so that the
crisis was permitted to become more
acute.
"To this day the administration
has not yet decided whether to ad-
init or deny the facts of unemploy
ment situation rivalling that of

June rs, 1193--The City Commission
ers today wrote letter to Daniel Car
roll of Duddington stating that it is
very desirable that many ornamental
trees should be left in The Mall.
Fearing that cutting any part at
present" the Commissioners add. may
lead to consequences which cannot be
repaired in many years, If at all, we
wish to treat with you for the purchase
of all the trees standing in The Mall, so
that the whole may be left standing

tered on for partially clearing that part

was generally considered as evidence of
adherence to a high standard of city
arrangement on the part of the Com
missioners. IT is hoped that Mr. Carroll
and other property owners Will comply
with the wishes of the Commissioners,
but it is feared by some persons that the
plan to leave the best trees standing.
not only in The Mall but on the streets
and other public property OF the city,
will not be followed up.
1t is recognized by the Commissioners
and other residents of the city and by
visitors from other parts of the United
States and foreign countries that the
handsome native trees growing through
out the Federal District are one of its
chief beauties. They make the city
resemble a vast park. From Capitol
Hill and the heights to the northwest
of the city the scene is especially attrac-
tive to the eye.
The trees also furnish welcome shade
during the hot days of Summer. Many
property holders, however, are proceed
ing to cut the trees without regard to
the future. AS there are SO many of
them, 1t appears to some persons as
unnecessary to be careful in their cut
ting. But the Commissioners realize fully
that unless some stop is put to the
general cutting the time will soon come
when The Mall and public parks, to say
nothing of the streets, will be denuded
OF the beautiful forest trees, many of
them hundreds of years old, which are
standing here.
