age estimated at several thousand
dollars to building, equipment and
stocks of baled paper.
o. R. Carr, night watchman,

He called the washington and Ar
lington county fire departments.
Engine No. S from the District

and Cherrydale responded.
Although Fire Chief Charles
Hagar, of Arlington, suspected
that the blaze had probably been
caused by a spark from the con-
veyOr motor, ] w. Stevens, presi-
dent of the company, stated that
the main electric switch in an.
other part of the building is al
ways closed at night, cutting off
the current to the cOnveyor motor.
Stevens estimated that the
plant will again be in operation
in few days. The building was

SENATORS URGE
CONTINUING
PROBE
Investing Public Would Be
Protected by Spotlight Of
Realty Inquiry, Contention

With refusal of the House Dis
trict Committee to further the
Blaine fraud bills at this session,
Senators interested in regulation
of real estate and investment
businesses in the Capital today
were making renewed efforts to
continue the life of the Blaine
investigating committee through
the summer.
BrOOkhart Resolution
A resolution which would con-
tinue the committee during the
recess, leaving its powers unim-
paired. has been introduced by
Senator Smith W. Brookhart CR.)
of Iowa.
1t was pointed out today that
failure of the regulatory blue
sky" legislation. proposed by the
Blaine committee and adopted by
the Senate, make more impor-
tant the need for continuing the
committee. Several Senators be-
lieve that the committee is in a
position to expose imminent
frauds. and, by simply barring
them to the public gaze, destroy
their power for evil.
New Evidence
Senator BrOkhart believes that
it is essential that the committee
continue its work during the sum-
mer. He says that he will prob
ably have additional evidence re-
garding the local situation to
place before it.
Senator John j. Blaine (R.) Of
Wisconsin, it is understood, while
not particularly anxious to work
on the investigation throughout
the recess, favors the resolution,
as he is desirous to protect the
investing public of Washington.

That veterans seeking informa-
ton at the Veterans Bureau are
constantly complaining that sat-
isfactory treatment is denied them,
seems to have sound basis in
fact, if the experience of news
paper men can be taken as cri-
terion.
For instance, a Washington
Times reporter went to the Vet
erans Bureau yesterday to find
out how many additional clerks
will be employed in making loans
to veterans under the new law
and whether applicants must
have Civil Service status.
He asked to see the head of the
personnel division, and was di-
rected to see Mr.. Clark, in room
1862. After some is minutes Mr..
Clark came in. He was affable,
but all he would say was that ad-
ditional clerks would be drawn
from the Civil Service lists. He
suggested seeing. MI. Collins, in
room 628.
See Mr.. Breining
But Mr.. Collins could not give
the information desired. He had
taken over the work of Harold w.
Breining, head of the financial
division. while Mr.. Breining per-
sonally looked after the bonus.
Mr.. Breining. over the teIe-
phone, said it would be useless
for the reporter to see him, as
he did not know anything about
the figures. "a
The reporter then asked at the
information desk for the room
number of Colonel Ijams, ad-
ministrator. At the mention of
his name, Geveral guards in uni
form and plain clothes stepped
up close to him and demanded
to know what he wanted.

I want to see Colonel Ijams

DRIVE To SLASH
WAGES BRINGS
NEW WARNING
Green Says Cuts in January
Show Startling Increase;
Unemployment Improves S

Unemployment shows a Sigh
decrease during the pass sevel
weeks, but a new drive to Gu
wages has been disclosed, az
cording to William Green, pres
dent of the American Federation
of Labor.
Both a mote of encouragement
and a signal of danger" is shown
in reports from industrial centers
the labor chief says.
Summary of Statement
Here is a summary of the state
ment which he issued today:
"The Federation unemploy-
ment report adds wight to the
evidence that we have reached
the bottom of depression. Our
figures show a check in the
rise of unemployment, but there
has been no significant improve
ment as yet"
Warning against wage reduc
tions, President Green added:
There is a report from the
Department of Labor that wage
cuts in January we're nearly
three times as numerous and
affected nearly twice as many
employees as in any month
since the depression began. In
this month 335 of the report
ing firms reduced wages, and
the cuts affected $4,000 workers.
Incomes Hard Hit
workers incomes today are
81 per cent below the level in
factories and FL per cent below
on railroads. Wage reductions
project these losses into the
future, and lower living stand
ards and buying power for a
long time to come. If wage
cuts continue, we will limit our
ability to pull up quickly ffOm
this depression"
During the next two months
the labor leader asserts, efforts to
provide work for the unemployed
and relief for the jobless are of
most urgent Importance" SUI
fering in March, he predicts
probably will be greater than in
any previous month because
workers. resources are approach
ing the point of exhaustion.
Builders Suffer Most
In the first two weeks of Feb
ruary, So per cent of the wage
earners in building trades were
out of work. 35 per cent of those
in the garment trades and tex
tiles were unemployed, and q
per cent in the metal trades.

most affable, and also, the most
helpful, of the gagged" off

Ijarns was in conference, but
that there was no reason why
the information should not be

her to supply the information.
Hot on the Trail
Miss Martin was in room 1048.
She was very gracious. After
going through several doors, she
said the information was avail
able, but she could not give it
to the reporter. One of Colonel
Ljam's pet rules was that moth
ing can be given the papers that
Mrs. Pugh, publicity representa-
tive. does not know.
The reporter went down to
Mrs. Pugh's office.
No, Mrs. Pugh did not think
any figures on the subject were
available. When told that the
reporters had located them in
the hour and 20 minutes of Gin
tervieWing," she said she guessed

Then Miss Martin supplied the
figures to Mrs. Pugh'S secretary.
The secretary wrote them out
for Mrs. Pugh and Mrs. Pugh
gave them to the reporter.
The information was that 300
clerk-typists were to be drawn
from the Civil Service lists in
Washington. and $50 more in
the various States.

division of the Government Print

charges of falsifying vouchers,
was acquitted late yesterday by
a Circuit Court jury before JUS

Lovers Prove
Popularity At
Fox AirdOme

A full house at the Fox Imperial
theater last night watched the story
OF Merely Mary Ann unfold
across the silver screen, thrilling
to the superb acting Of Janet
Gaynor and Charles Farrell. I'M
beatable screen lovers.
Farrell is cast in a role somewhat
different from that other pictures
with the winsome Miss Gaynor
have given him. In this picture he
IS a temperamental young musician,
forgetting love for ambition, and
realizing too late he has thrown
away a treasure.
Again Miss Gaynor appears on
the screen in the sort of role she
does best, that of a poor housemaid
in an English boarding house, sud-
denly transported TO wealth when
oil is found or farming land in the
United States, owned by her.
Showing again tonight ct the El
Centre theater, Merely Mary Ann"
with its music, pathos and delirious
happiness, is expected TO draW a
second capa city house. fans have
long awaited the return of the
Gaynor- Farrell team to the screen,
and welcome that return with fit
ting appreciation.
