TWO MORE KILLED
IN STRIKE AT PORT
Death Toll in New Orleans Long
shoremen's Dispute Now
Totals Four.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, April 8.-Belching
guns on the rangy waterfront have
brought the death toll of the long
shoremen's strike to four.
Scores of non-union longshoremen
have been beaten and score wounded
by shots since the strike started on Feb
ruary Is in protest against reduction
in wages from 80 to 65 cents an hour.
The latest killings we're last night,
when two colored workmen of a crew of
IS on a truck were shot dead by a shot
gun volley from ambush. Five others
were wounded.
Holt Ross, special representative of
the American Federation of Labor, in
addressing the Louisiana State Fedora
ton of Labor at Lake Charles yesterday,
said that 5000 union men we're out on
the New Orleans port front.
He said that Gov. Long, before his
election to the United States Senate,
had promised to bring about an ami
cable settlement of the dispute of sew
eral years standing in the port, but
that the Governor had not kept his
promise and had done nothing to pro-
mote an agreement.
The Governor replied that the state
ments of MIR. Ross were incorrect and
ill-founded." He added that it was
unfortunate that the poor longshore-
men should have been called on strike
during time OF unemployment"

against angle parking on wide streets
and against parking automobiles over
two hours in the vicinity of Govern
ment buildings was unanimously ex-
pressed by the Columbia Heights Citi-
Eens' Association at a meeting last
night in the Columbia Heights Chris
tian Church.
Mrs. Margaret H. Worrell. who intro
duced the resolution. stated that such
acts were a violation of citizens rights.
The resolution requested that the bans

delegates from all citizens associations
during the Summer to work on draft
of legislation that will correct present
defects in the District laws regarding
loans and mortgages, in an effort tc
protect persons borrowing from money
lenders.
Gas Hearings Asked.
The Public Utilities Commission was
requested to hold public hearings to
obtain testimony on the gas rates
charged by the Washington Gas Light
90. and to order refund to consumers
of such rates charged in excess of
reasonable amount. Marie F. Maddox
introduced the resolution.
J. Clinton Hiatt, chairman of the
Public Safety Committee, in a resolu-
ton adopted, requested that no one-
man street cars should be put into
operation in the District. This was

nnissioners in obtaining a reduction of
insurance rates in the District in res
olution introduced by Harley V. Spell
man and adopted.
