for use of contractors, builders and

in q letter to Edwin H. Rosengarten
president, that the chapter has ap-
pointed a committee on practice, with

busy midtown intersections to begin the
compilation of trafic survey for the

notes on traffic conditions.
Although the patrol will record traf-
fic violations on the part of motorists
and pedestrians, its members are not
expected to take down license numbers
with view to prSecuting such Of
tenders as come to their attention.
In particular, the boys will observe
the moving traffic, listing the total of
cases where motorists go against red
lights or otherwise break the traffic
regulations Other figures will be kept
to establish the busiest corners and the
to improving traffic conditions gen
orally.
Light Timing to Be Studied.
The timing of trafic lights and the
need for installation of new signals or
the removal of old ones will also be
investigated by the traffic patrol.
The final result of the survey will
be compiled and returned to the Traf-
fic Council, probably in two weeks, for
such recommendations as may seem
expedient in the light of information
gathered this way.

resentatives each from the following Or
ganizations: The American Automobile
Association, the Board of Trade. the
Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association, the
Washington Automotive Trade Associa-
ton, the Federation of Citizens As
sociation and the Commercial Vehicle

by the latter organization in co-opera-
ton with the Board of Education.
Detailed to Guard Children.
The members of the school patrol
were detailed to street corners to guard
children from the trafac while en- route
to or from school.
Just what corners the new patrol will
occupy will be determined during the
next few days by the preliminary re-
turns Of the survey, which Is expected
to show the most congested intersec-
tions.
The details will be at their posts
between 8 and 9:15 o'clock in the
morning and and 6 o'clock in the
afternoon.

Higher SHOE DUTY
? DECLARED URGENT
Conditions in HaverhiII "Se-
rious," Manufacturer
Tells Senators.

BY the Associated Press.
Conditions in Haverhill. Mass, were
described as serious" today by Ray
mond ". McNamara, Haverhill shoe
manufacturer.
Appearing before the Senate fina e
subcommittee hearing testimony on the
sundrieS group in the House tariff bill
Mcnamara said that the population
had decreased 5000 in the last eight
years, 20 plants had been forced to
liquidate In 1923 and at the present
time 5000 workers were on strike seek
ing a wage increase and a five-day
week
Mcnamara declared the 20 per cent
duty proposed in the House bill on
imported shoes would. bring "some re-
lief" but added that he thought a 35
per cent rate would more nearly
equalize production costs here and
aboard.
Higher Pay Impossible.
Mcnamara said he believed the
unions simply were trying to hold
what they have" in indorsing the
manufacturers tariff requests, adding
1t would be impossible to grant the
strikers demands even with a higher
tariff than that provided In the bill.
The witness said imports of womens
shoes. principally from Czechoslovakia.
had increased 1850 per cent in years,
reacheing 2,0l8.269 pairs In 1928. IF this
rate continues during the present year, -
he added, "the imports will exceed
100000 pairs and in 10 years the
manufacture of the principal grades of
women's shoes will be extinct in the
United States."'
He said he believed the five-day. week
was coming, but declared it would be
demoralizing to the shoe industry.
Senator Thomas, Democrat. Oklahoma,
asked If the unions would not demand
still higher wages with tariff on shoes
and start a general strike If their de-
mands were not met.
Protest Iron Pipe Raise.
A protest against the increase in the
House tariff bill in the duty on cast
iron pipe from 20 to 80 per cent ad
valorem was made by Herbert Kennedy
president Of Herbert Kennedy Co., i'm
porters. Of New York City. He said the
1922 tariff of 20 per cent ad valorem
would protect the domestic industry.
Kennedy said he was going into the
business of manufacturing cast iron
pipe near Boston, Mass, and that his
company would be satisfied with the
1922 tariff. Walter Wood, president of
r. d. Wood & Co., Philadelphia, with
plants at Florence, N. j., said the 80
per cent ad valorem duty was made
quate for cast iron pipe manufacturers
along the Atlantic seaboard because Of
imports from France. Western pipe
manufacturers, he said, had protection
through freight rates. He said that the
80 per cent duty would not afford pro-
lection, but merely permit them to
compete with French imports. He said
o specific rate Of six-tenths of a cent
q pound should be imposed because
this Government could not obtain the
actual production cost and sale prices
Of the French manufacturers.

House Joint Memorial No. If. To the Congress of the U. S.:
 Your Memorialist, the Legis- lature of Alaska, respectfully re- presents:
 l. That navigation on both sid es of Seward Peninsula is espec- ially dangerous during the months of September and October.
 2. That Dutch Harbor is sit uated within one hundred mil es of the traffic lane between Uni ted States and Japan and not only close to where so many marine disasters occur on the trans-Pac- fife routes, but also within easy reach of the traffic along both coasts of Alaska Peninsula where many ship wrecks occur.
 3. That the City of Seward on Resurrection Bay is close to the center of the halibnt banks which annually (claina)' many victims.
 NOW, therefore, your memor- ialist most urgently prays,
 1. That the necessary provi- sions be made to station a coast guard ship permanently at Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
 2. That another coast guard ship be permanently placed at Seward, Alaska.
 3. That the coast guard ship on duty in the Arctic and the North ern Boring Sea be required to re- main there until the last ships leave Nome in the fall.
 4. That the coast guard ships assigned for the Alaska waters south of Alaska Peninsula be re- quired to remain there in the win ter when they are most needed and be sent South for repair, if at all, in the summer instead of, as now, in the winter.
 And your memorialist will ever pray.
