NJ CARL To RULE
ON XMAS PAY
QUESTION
Decision in 1901 Allowed U. S.
Employees Return for Day Off
Navy Personnel Paid in '29

The question as to whether
the 5000 per diem workers in
the District Government will re-
ceive pay for their enforced
Christmas Eve holiday was shifted
to Comptroller General McCarl to-
day by the District Commissioners.
Despite the fact that the city
heads had an opinion handed
down in 1901 authorizing pay for
Der diem workers, they were uT1'
able to determine whether the
provisions applied to workers in
the District service as well as
those in the Federal service and
turned to the Comptroller General
for a decision.
Some Get Holiday
Meanwhile, the District per
diem workers, the majority Of
whom are employed in the sewer.
water and highway department
and in the refuse division, will
take a holiday tomorrow without
pay. A favorable decision from
the Comptroller General, however.
will result in the workers getting
an extra days pay in their en-
velope on the payday following
decision.
Navy Workers Get Pay
The movement in behalf Of
the workers was started yester-
day by Capt. Hugh P. Dram, as"
sistant engineer commissioner,
upon being informed that workers
in the Navy Yard having a
status similar to those in the
District were paid for the Christ
mas Eve holiday last year and
would again be paid this year.
Further i. investigation disclosed
that the Navy Yard workers were
paid under an opinion Of the
Attorney General in 1929. The
At~ney General quoted the 1901
opinion Of the Comptroller Of the
Treasury as the authority.

289 DEALERS
MUST QUIT
On DEC, 81
Closing Of Food Center by
Government Order to Swell :
Ranks of the Unemployed

More than 500 persons en-
ployed in the Center Market are
facing a dreay Christmas. They
have been notified that after
midnight on December 81, when
the Government will close the
building preparatory to having it
torn down, they will belong to
the vast army Of the unemployed.
But in spite of this dishearten-
ing news, the prospective unem-
ployed are hoping against hope
that a last-minute extension may
be granted to the 169 dealers
within the market walls and the
40 dealers along Farmers Row
outside the market to remain
at their, stands for, 80 days.
Dealers Seek Aid
Officials of the Center Market
Dealers. Association are soliciting
prominent person from among
the dealers clientele to appeal to
either President Hoover or Secre-
tary of Agriculture Hyde for q
9O-day extension. The officials OF
the association believe that within
this period they could find loca-
tionS in other markets or elicit
sufficient public support for the
erection of q new Center Market.
The 1863 dealers in the market,
according to the officials, are
forced to discontinue services OF
employees because Of inability TO
find new locations. The N. Auth
Provision Company stands will be
forced to lay off 10 men, the ma
jority of whom have been en-
ployed in the market for more
than 20 years.
See Ruin Ahead
Dealers along Farmers Row
state that the closing of the mar
ket will "just about wreck us"
c. w. Walleigh, superintendent
of the market, yesterday notified
the SIS Department of Agriculture
inspectors, assistant inspectors
and watchmen, who have been
employed at the market, that
their services would be no longer
required after December 81.
The dealers point out that the
forced wholesale lay-o1 will af.

HOOVERS ATTEND
AMARYLL|S SHOW
President and First Lady Join
Throng at Agriculture
Green House Exhibit.

President and Mrs. Hoover were
visitors at the seventeenth annual
amaryIlis show of the United States
Department of Agriculture late yester-
day. In the dusk of the evening they
unceremoniously walked over from the
White House to the green houses at
Fourteenth and b streets and f1led In
with the throng.
At the chrysanthemum show last Fall
the President and Mrs. Hoover attended
in the same way. Off1cials of the de-
partment said today that Mr.. Hoover Is
the only President TO attend either OF
the flower shows conducted annually by
the department.
Crowd Breaks All Records.
The White House visitors swelled the
crowd that broke all records for any
Federal flower show ever held in the
Capital. The attendance yesterday was
considerably more than 1000 persons.
During the four days that the show
has been open the attendance has been
equal to the attendance for the eight
DAYS it was open last year, so that thus
far the attendance is practically double
what was anticipated. And still the
bus loads of girl students from the
academies and colleges and the pill
grimages of garden club members from
MARYLAND and Virginia continue. OFF,
Gals in charge of the show are actually
amazed at the throngs that are taking
greater interest in the show than ever
before.
SEQ New Blooms on View.
The show has been "freshened up"
with more than 800 new plants, so that
there are now some $500 blooms on
exhibition in the widest range of color
ing ever displayed at any amaryllis
show anywhere in the world
The show will remain open through
Wednesday until O'Clock Wednesday
night. The doors are open from am,
until pm. daily. On week days all
the green houses of the department are
open to visitors. Special parking space
has been reserved in the department
grounds.
