D. c. GROUP
V|EETSON
FRIDAY

Senator Arthur Capper Of
Kansas, chairman of the SEN
ate District Committee, today.
sent notices of the committee
for the first meeting of the.
present session to be held Fri.
day morning.
At this meeting the activities of the
committee during the extra session
will be discussed and plans will be.
made for such committee program
as may be permitted by the plans
Of Senate leaders.
Early Start Necessary.
Senator Capper had not intended
to call the meeting until next week.
but decided today that there were so
many pressing District matters for
consideration that an early start
would be necessary, in the event that
the Senate would widen its program
fro the current session.
One of the principal matters to
be discussed is the proposed merger
of the local street railway. While
Senator Capper has expressed grave
doubts as to whether the Senate
will consider this highly controver-
sial question at this session, 1t is
certain the new members of the
committee will want full informa-
tion as to the present status of the
merger.
With New Men
At the Friday meeting the older
members of the District Committee
will meet for the first time with the
new appointees, Senators Hamilton
r. Kean of New Jersey and Law
renee d. Tyson of Tennessee. The
COMMITTEES also will discuss mora
than a score of bills affecting the
District of Columbia which have
been introduced during the past
week.
Among these is the measure pro-
viding free text books for the local
public high schools. As this is
noncontroversal bill there is a slight
possibility that it may pass both
houses at this session.

NATIONAL FOREST
TIMBER CUT INCREASES
IN DISTRICT ONE

Timber cut under commercial sales
on the National Forests of District
the calendar year 1928 amounted to
approximately 1873 million board feet,
an increase of % million feet over
last year and the largess cut since
1925. The value of the 1928 cut was
$537,000 as against $406,000 in 1927,
and the average stumpage price OBJ
tanned was S404 per thousand board
feet as against 1894 in 1927.
In addition to the cut from COM
mercial sales, timber to the amount
of 3,335,000 board feet was cut by
ranchers and settlers under sales at
cost, yielding $3,449. There was also
cut nearly 10 million board feet,
amounting to $4,000, which amount
was applied in exchange for lands
within the national forests as author
lied under the general exchange act.
The Occur fAlene national forest
in Idaho again leads in timber pro-
duction, having furnished nearly 45
million board feet or more than one
third the amount cut IN the entire
district White pine, the most valu-
able of all timber species, provides
most of the cut Of the Occur d'Alene
forest with the result that stumpage
values averaged more than $500 per
thousand board feet, and the forest
yielded more than half the revenue
of the entire district from timber
sales. The principal operators of the
Couer d'Alene forest are the Ohio
Match Company and the Winton
Lumber Company.
The Kaniksu forest ranks second
in timber cut, with nearly Al million
board feet, valued at $4,000. Stump
age prices on this forest averaged
much lower due, in part, to forced
sales to salvage timber killed in the
1925 and 1926 fires. The principal
purchasers are the Diamond Match
Company, Dalkena Lumber Company,
Panhandle Lumber Company, and c..
w. Beardmore.
The Pend Oreille forest, with the
A. c. White Lumber Company as the
largest purchaser, ranks third with a
cut Of nearly Is million board feet,
while the Kootenai forest, with the
j. Neils Lumber Company and the
Standpoint Lumber and Pole Company
as principal operators, is fourth and
leads all Montana forests with a cut
of more than II million board feet.
In eastern Montana, where lodge
pole pine is the principal commercial
species, the Madison national forest
furnished the largest cut, more than
100000 board feet, mostly in the
form Of railroad ties cut by the Yell
lowstone Tie & Timber Company in
the vicinity Of West Yellowstone.
The amount covered in contracts of
sale consummated during the year
was approximately 90 million board
feet, nearly half of which was on the
Kaniksu national forest with head
quarters at Newport, Washington.

Idaho and will require slightly more
than two tons of paper and 80 pounds
of black ink" said Mr.. Guilbert.
"There is no doubt that the touring
season of 1929, unless some unusual
and unlocked for condition arises, will
be one of the largest that the In

from the A. A. A. and affiliated clubs
as we'll as the chamber of commerce
and ourselves indicate that we may
expect to have from 100000 to $780,
600 tourist cars"

WOMEN'S CHARGES

Labor Secretary Declares At

Charges made against the Womens
Bureau of the Labor Department by
the National Woman's Party, in which
the bureau was criticized as biased
and unfair" in connection with a re-
port on employment for women, were
"unfounded," Secretary of Labor Davis
declared in a statement made public
today by the National Woman's Party.
In reply to the statement OF the
Labor Secretary, the Womans Party
reiterates its statement, claiming that
"since the Women's Bureau is so
strongly prejudiced in favor of So
called protective laws for women its
investigation is necessarily biased" In
making the investigation on employ
'ment for women the bureau, &C
cording to the statement, had the as
sistance of an advisory committee of
experts. consisting of Miss Mary Van
Kleeck, DR.. Lillian M. Gilbreth and DR..
Charles Neill Miss Van Kleeck and
DR.. Gilbreth "have long been support
ers of the restrictive industrial laws
which were the subject of the investi-
CATION" the statement said, and 'can
by no means be called impartial"

rights amendment to make industrial
laws applicable equally to men and
women. mo investigation is needed"
the woman's party said, Ito prove that
Jaws based on this principle will not
handicap women, but will be of equal
benefit to all workers, men and women
alike"
The statement by the party claimed
the Women's Bureau in investigation of
employment conditions refused to hold
open hearings, at which those believ-
ing in industrial equality could call
witnesses or produce facts.

 We refer to proper lighting of the approach to Resurrection Harbor; the erection of a lighthouse
 The odtimers and those wise to the coast can make the haven of the bay blindfolded but the stranger may be at loss and must pilot to reach Sew ard docks
