PARKING BAN HELD
IMPRACTICAL NOW
BY TRAFFIC HEADS
Van Duzer and Brown Cite
Lack of Facilities in
Downtown Area.
AGREE WITH SUGGESTION
OF ARTS COMMISSION
Hold Owners Should Not Be De-
MED Space Until Provisions
Are Made.

Abolition of automobile parking on
The streets and in the public parks. as
suggested by the Commission of Fine
Arts, is desirable but not practical at
this time because of the lack of off,
street parking facilities. according to
Traffic Director William A. VanDuzer
and Inspector f. w. Brown, acting
superintendent of police. who has
charge of the Police Departments Trat-
fic Bureau.
Both of these traffic authorities agree
with the Fine Arts Commission that
the removal from the streets of the long
lines OF stationary automobiles would
add to the esthetic appearance of
Washington, and at the same time
bring about a marked improvement In
the movement of traffic, but they are
! not in favor of a parking prohibition
until garages and other off street facI-
1ties are provided for parking.
Facilities Are Lacking.
Mr. Van Duzer pointed out that a
recent traffic survey showed Washing
ton lacks facilities in the congested zone
for 40 1000 vehicles now parked in the
streets. Conditions make it necessary
he said, for owners of many of these
vehicles to bring them downtown every
day, and he thinks they should not be
deprived of this privilege until either
public or private off-street parking
places are provided for their use.
Mr.. Van DuZer also explained that
the criticism of the Fine Arts Commits
sion of parking in the public parks is
something over which he has no con-
troll The public parks, he said, are
under Jurisdiction of the National Park
and Planning Commission, which has
the authority to regulate parking in
these places.
Lack Private Parking.
Although there are more registered
cars per capita in washington than in
any other city, Inspector Brown de-
clared, 1t has less private parking &C
commodations than other cities. This
fact, he said, should be given paramount
consideration in any plan designed to
prohibit parking on the streets.
Inspector Brown likewise said pro-
hibition against parking, especially
around the public buildings, and in
public parks. undoubtedly would i'm
prove the attractiveness of these places.
He cited existing conditions around the
White House. where parking is forbidden,
as an example of esthetic beauty which
has not been destroyed by the parked
automobile.
Even though desirable, Mr.. Van
Duzer said, an automobile parking ban
is not practical now and could not be
made so by next year, when the Fine
Arts Commission wants the streets
cleared Of the parked machines for Wis
itors to the George Washington Bicen-
tennial celebration Garages and other
off-street parking facilities, ne declared,
must precede any drastic prohibition
against street parking.

A Review OF past Struggles" for
Negro Rights

TIE struggle for the defense of the rights OF
the Negro masses of America is taking on
new forms. The form of struggle rooted in the
theology of the ruling class has proven made
quate to meet the present situation. The de-
Tense methods of the Negro masses In the past
arose out Of historical and economic conditions
of that period. Even then the methods used
brought no real relief. They simply built up in
the Negro masses faith in parliamentary pro-
cedure, faith in the capitalist methods of adj
justing the so-called race relations This was
logical.
The Negro masses received their freedom from
the Northern capitalist class under the leader
ship of It's Republican party. This "emancipa-
ton" met with the capitalist immediate de-
mands. In fact, until this war measure was
adopted the success of the capitalist forces in
the war was very questionable matter.
But the ends of the Northern tndustrialists
were not fully met by military conquest ever
the landlord class of the South. Capitalist rela-
tons had to be established The conquest of
arms had to be economically and politically con-
solidated. The economic and political power of
the Southern landlords had to be broken. In the
accomplishment of this process the Negro masses
we're an indispensable aid to Northern capital
The landlord class was disfranchised and demo-
cratic rights, such as were then enjoyed by
white workers, were extended to the Negro

BY I. AMTER.

ABoR DAY the day given by the bosses of
this country to the workers to celebrate the
dignity Of labor" is day of treachery to the
working class. The boss class fearing the rising
tide of working class resentment against the
conditions imposed on the workers are making
much of Labor Day.
What can the miners think of Labor Day?
What can the textile workers think of this day
of treachery? What can the steel workers, who
face wage cuts think of that day? What can
the 100000 unemployed, growing into the H.
100000 mark, think of that day. What must the
women and young workers think of Labor Day?
What can the millions of Negro workers think
Of that day that means a furtherance of lynch
ing, Jim Crowism and the worst segregation?
One has but to look at William Green and
his Executive Council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and the district and local func-
tionaries of the A. F. of L. unions to know that
they regard this day as day of feasting-a day
Of rejoicing that the bosses are trusting them
with big job-the job of selling out and be-
traying the workers
