campaign as conducted by the chamber
in october aroused city-wide interest
and resulted In q substantial increase
in local sales volume, as shown by the
department store sales index issued by
the Federal Reserve Board.
The chamber participated actively in
relief measures for the benefit of the
unemployed. It created the first emer-
gency employment bureau and spon-
sored a theater benefit which netted
$4,000 for this purpose. The creation
of a central committee on employ
ment was urged successfully and the
initial steps were taken to insure the
holding In Washington Of the Marine
Coast Guard foot ball classic for url-
employment relief.
The annual shop-early, mail-early
campaign Of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association concluded Just
before Christmas. eliminated an active
year In the association which included
vigorous work for municipal airport

VOTE FOR DISTRICT CAMPAIGN
SHOWS PROGRESS DURING YEAR
Radio, Literature and Public Addresses
Utilized by Citizens Group Seeking Rep
resentation-Many Vote Support.

Through the media of radio, literature
and public addresses, the Citizens
Joint Committee on National Repre-
sentation for the District of Columbia
carried forward in 1880 its ceaseless
crusade for political equity for the dis
franchised residents Of the Nations
Capital.
A score or more educational radio
programs, broadcast under the auspices
Of the Joint Committee, coupled with
the mass of printed matter distributed
throughout the country and the
speeches made before various organi-
cations oy members of the committee,
produced encouraging results and I'M
doubtedly brought the committees goal
OF national representation a step nearer
Growing Support Evidenced.
There was substantial evidence of
growing support for the movement, not
only In the District, but other sections
as well, particularly where messages of
the voteless plight of its residents
reached for the first time. And impor-
tant, too, was the increasing number
OF assurances from members of the
House and Senate of their support of
the pending joint congressional resolu-
ton proposing an amendment to the
Federal Constitution, which would
grant the District representation in the
House and Senate and the electoral
college
With the cooperation of Washing
tons broadcasting stations, the radio
educational campaign was started early
in the year and continued intensively
for several months. In that time the
committees plea for recruits in the
campaign for vote went into count
less homes. The radio speakers, repre-
senting nearly every phase of the Dis
trict's civic, business and official life,
included Fred A, Emery, former Repre-
sentative John H. Small of North Caro-
lima, Guilford s. Jameson, Representa-
tive L. M. Black Of New York, Repre-
sentative Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania,
Miss Jessie Dell. member of the Civil
Service Commission; Capt. Harvey l..
Miller, commander Of the District De-
partment, Veterans of Foreign Wars;
Representative Fred A. Hartley of New
Jersey, Senator Gerald p Nye of North

editor of The Evening Star; Mai Julius

IntensiAes Buy-Here Drive.
In the field of industrial development
the chamber intensified its efforts to
promote "Buy-in-W Washington" move
ment and co-operated In the launching
Of the new MISREPRESENTATION Coun-
Gil. A series of visits to industrial
plants were inaugurated and q new
high record was established by the
chambers sixth annual industrial ex-
position, which was viewed by over
100000 Washingtonians.
The chamber sponsored the first
comprehensive parole law for the Dis
trict of Columbia, and during the year
the codiflcation Of District laws, as adj
vocsted by the chamber, was COM
pleted.
In the second half Of the year the
chamber officially adopted its five-year
expansion program involving a Teor-
gani2ation and expansion Of its work,
The first step in this program was q
city-wide educational and membership
campaign. As the result of this effort

ing among its member retailers, and
other methods.
Of noteworthy Importance in the as
sociation's year was its stand IN vigor-
ously opposing the plan to increase
the gasoline tax and automobile regis
tration fee In the District. The asso-
citation also objected strenuously to the
proposal to levy a tax on commercial
vehicles commensurate with their gross
weight.
The body advocated the employment
of District labor and District con-
tractors in the construction Of local
Government buildings.
Among other plans for the better
ment Of the National Capital urged by
the association were: Establishment OF
q union bus terminal; provision for un-
derground parking facilities at Four

Legislation making the interchange of
kindergarten teachers possible was
passed when language broadening the
eligibility of undergraduates was writ
ten into the appropriations act for 1881
as legislative proviso.
AS a result Of new school house COM
pletions, So Of the one-room frame port
ables remain in service as the new year
is begun. When 1880 was entered, 70
of these Objectionable structures, which
long have been condemned by The Eve
ming Star, with the support Of many
civic organizations of the Capital, were
in service.
PortabIes to Be Reduced.
The new schools which were opened
included besides the Paul Junior High
School, the John Quincy Adams School
at Nineteenth and California streets, tc
replace the old Adams School, which
had been on the condemned list for
many years; the B. W. Murch School
In Chevy Chase which, at one stroke,
eliminated five portables from that con-
gested community; the William B.
Powell School in the communities north
of Columbia Heights. and the additions
TO the Park View School, which put
another large group of portables out OF
service there.
Impetus in the drive against port
ables was given this year by the active
interest of the Bureau of the Budget,
which, with the counsel of the school
officers. placed into the 1881 budget
funds for the construction Of several
smaller building projects. These four
room units, by virtue of the fact that
they are TO be built before tull school
building enrolment actually exists in
a community, places limit upon the
potential need for portables by pro-
viding q permanent building from two
10 four years earlier than 1t otherwise
would have become available.
The past year was marked by the
unroofing of a portable school at Wes-
| ley Heights and the consequent narrow
escape of its occupants on April 7

authorities generally resulted in pre-
cautions to prevent prevent q repetition SarS Of tns

board considered further use of port

shortly afterward every exposed port,

sentation were made before various or
carnations by Jesse G. Suter, a vice
chairman Of the Joint Committee; Paul
E. Lesh and George Adams of the Jun
Tor Citizens Alliance of Washington.
In addition, George A. Kicker spoke
on the same subject before the National
Council of State Legislatures in con-
vention in Chicago, which resulted in
the council reafflrming the Endorsement
of the national representation move
ment by its Executive Committee.
The crusade for national representa-
ton also was marked by a number Of
special features during the year. These
included a debate between teams rep
resenting the Y. M. G. A. and the Y.
w. C.. A., which the women'S team
won by supporting the subject that the
residents of the District should be
granted the franchise; National Rep
resentation night celebration by the
Washington Chamber of Commerce; a
radio celebration on Lincoln's birthday
anniversary in the interest of national
representation, at which Rev, Joseph
Sizoo, pastor of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church, served as master
Of ceremonies, and special observance
of the 18th anniversary Of the Boston
tea party during which Mr.. Suter and
Frederic william Vile, prominent news
paper writer and author, spoke over
WNIAL during the weekly program of
Radio Joe and His Budget Boys" The
committee also observed Election day in
November as a day of humiliation and
mourning to the -Americanized" of
the District, and q day Of national en-
thusiasm and patriotic pride to other
Americans.
Effective Exhibit Maintained.
The committee maintained an effec-
tive exhibit at the annual industrial
exposition of the Washington Chamber
OF Commerce, where striking SignS and
appealing slogans were displayed and
quantities of Informative literature were
distributed.
Among the organizations which dur
ing the year Endorsed the national rep
resentation movements and joined in
the campaign are the Rockville Pike
Association, the Sons of Union Veterans
of the Civil War, District of Michigan;
National Council Of Jewish Women, Ma
tional Camp Of the Patriotic Order Of
Americans Illinois State Council, the
Illinois Society of National Painters and
Decorators and the New York State
Council of the same organization. In

Launched in q virtual shower OF
congressional vitriol, the public school
year of 1880 has written story OF
steady progress In the elimination OF IA
portable schoolhouses and the opening
Of corresponding group OF modern
new buildings, an increase OF 3.254 In
the total enrolment, new klndergar-
ten policy that makes for increased
eficiency, and free text book law that
materially aids Washington parents in
sending their children to high school.
Comingled with these advances are
Developments that make the past year
distinctive from its predecessors. There
was in 1890 the CommuniSue scare, the
resignation Of one Board Of Education
member and the subsequent rsappoint-
ment OF a former president OF the
board, the launching Of studies in the
interest of vocational education and OF
crippled and otherwise subnormal chill
drer. and the smoke law trial, which
resulted in the flning OF a school sys-
tenn officer under prosecution by an as
sistant corporation counsel.

launched an attack upon the local
school administration which for bitter
school authorities were charged with
s'souandering" public funds in "extrav-
