.TIBER CREEK WATERS
AGAIN GIVE TROUBLE
Million Gallons Pumped Daily to
Permit Pile Driving for Fed
eral Building.

More than a million gallons Of water
day are being pumped out of the
underground water supply along the
line of old Tiber Creek in order to
relieve underground pressure against
pile driving on the site Of the new
Government Auditorium on Constitution
avenue at Thirteen and -a-Half street.
1t Is the same underground supply
which made trouble for virtually every
building erected in the Federal triangle.
Two large wells which were dug on
the sites of the adjacent Interstate
Commerce Commission and Labor
Department Buildings are now being
brought into use to relieve the water
pressure under the auditorium site. The
large pumps which were used when
piles were being driven for the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and the
Labor Department were left connected
at the old wells, and now have been
put into commission again.
They pump, from underground, a
water supply which flows into Constitu-
ton avenue cutters from large pipes, at
the rate of about 900 gallons a minute,
Already the water level underground
has been lowered and pile driving made
easier.
The water level has been lowered Sc
materially that it is evident under the
new Commerce Department Building.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, Wash, July 13 (N.AN.A).
For those cities and communities
struggling with the problem of feeding,
clothing and housing unemployed,
Seattle furnishes an interesting example.
Its experience in intrusting to an Or
ganization of several thousand men and
women the task of distributing relief
from the public treasury when the
members of that organization are the
benef1ciaries is unique.
This phase of the philanthropic en-
terprise is only part of the creditable
record, for the Unemployed Citizens
League has demonstrated its ability to
carry on much of its business without
money. The success of the organiza-
ton in spreading the doctrine of self
help probably has saved the commu-
nifty from widespread distress, if not
Bankruptcy.
$4,000 Dependents.
More than $4,000 men, women and
children here are dependent on public
charity. In the aggregate they represent
about one-eighth of the citys popule-
ton The ma jority of those out OF
work are heads of families who in 0rdi-
nary times contribute substantially to
the community's wealth But there are

mated for a time, at least. by different
gas and oil companies.
Most Of the wood was hauled into
the city in 4-foot lengths and re-
sawed at the commissaries. The result
was that more than 5000 cords of
wood a month were distributed to those
in need of fuel.
Work Required.
As a prerequisite to drawing supplies
of food at the commissaries, the league
required a minimum of two days work
a week from its members. This
caused some friction with a minority
which saw no good reason for working
at all. The difficulty was Strengthened
out, however, by the enforcement OF the
rule that to eat one had to work. When
this lesson had been learned, the league
members produced as cheerfully for
public service as for private profit.
While other agencies such as the
Salvation Army, the Social Welfare
Society and the Community Chest are
carrying on relief work, the Unemployed
Citizens League Is administering the
larger part Of the public philanthropy.
1t has disbursed this year more than
$800 600 from the public treasury and
before the IL months are ended the
sum will exceed a million dollars.
There is no simple way OF estimating
the value of supplies OF clothing, shoes,
bedding, canned fruit, fish and forest
wood produced or made serviceable by
its members.
Factor in Election.
Not the least interesting thing about
the league is its political activity. Un-
doubtedly it was a decisive factor in the
municipal election held last March
Virtually all the candidates for public
Office, mayor three city cOuncilmen,
port commissioner and two mem bers of
the School Board. were elected by un-
precedented majoritles.
Having tasted success at the polls, the
league is now branching out to take
control of the State government. 1t
has no political program. as had the
Populist party of the COS, but Is en-
deavoring to merge various independent
groups, such as the Liberty and the
Farmer-Labor party, into cohesive Or
ganization for independent action.
The avowed purpose of the Unem-
ployed Citizens League, which in other
communities appears under varying
names. is to take the control of State
government out of the hands of the
professional politicians.
The Unemployed Citizens League is
composed of men and women of all
shades of political belief from Com
munists to ultra conservatives. In nor
NAL times the conservatives and the
progressives would vote with one or the
other of the two major parties, but the
stress of hard economic conditions has
shaken their faith. They are in mood
to try anything once and for that rea-
son their leaders have visions of success.
The latest move. to amalgamate all
the unemployed leagues in the State

few thousand itinerant workers who
flock here because Seattle and King
County are the wealthiest as well as the
most pouulous community in the State.
No doubt other washington cities,
with fewer resources to carry on a
great charitable Enterprise, have en-
couraged migration to this locality. In
anv event Seattle has borne the major
part of the States burdens and only
through the enlightened leadership IN
the Unemployed Citizens League has
this community withstood the strain on
its public treasury.
Surplus Crops Saved.
The task Of supplying necessities OF
life to thousands was only part Of the
grave problem. Months ago 1t was
seen that something must be done to
correct a system which permitted a
considerable part of community to
suffer from lack of food when an
abundance of farm and orchard pro-
duce was going to waste within loo
miles.
Potatoes were being permitted to rot
in the ground because the cost OF dig
ging and transportation was greater
than returns in the market: Thou-
sands of boxes of apples were lying un-
sold In warehouses or rotting on the
trees or ground Families were colo
when magnificent forests encroached
upon the city's boundaries.
The method of dealing with these
problems was devised at small neigh
borhood meeting last Fall, out OF which
grew the Unemployed Citizens League.
Aside from exercising authority to dis
tribute direct relief from the public
treasury. the league Is carrying on
other activities, among which are the
operation of shoe repair shops, eStap-
lishments for the making, remodeling
the repair and maintenance OF trucks
used in the various enterprises, Tree
barber shops for the unemployed.
apartment houses which have been put
into good repair by volunteer labor,
and numerous small farms and truck
gardens.
To Take Over Factory.
1t Is now planned to take over q
factory for the manufacture OF shoes,
closed because it could not compete
due to the high cost of labor. Also it
may establish a tannery, since there
is an abundance of hides which cannot
be shipped to Eastern manufacturing
centers because of transportation costs.
An Illustration of how the doctrine
of self help was spread is furnished by
the wood cutting operations of the
league. Crews FROM the % locals were
sent to every available timber tract
near the city where forest wood could
be obtained Tools for the work were
furnished principally by the Municipal
Light and Power Department, hauling
companies supplied the trucks. and
gasoline for the fleet of cars that took

F FRANCE, ITALY
SEEN IN TRUCE

Settlement of the long7stand.
ing naval disagreement between
France and Italy is foreseen by
officials here.
They have been at odds since
the 1880 London naval confer
ence. America unsuccessfully in
tervened in the efforts at con-
ciliation.
Two recent moves caused re-
vival of hope in Washington for
an adjustment. Italy haT decided
to retire 100000 tons in naval
ships. No battleships will be re-
tained in active commission.
Economy was assigned as the
reason.
France had earlier decided not
to proceed with new construction
of naval ships. This removed a
barrier to the FrancoItalian
negotiations.
Washington officials view the
two steps as dovetailing. indicat-
ing France and Italy are at last
cooperating.
The effect is to leave the
French and italian fleets with
the same relative ratio as before.

Love is certainly a funny thing.
After years of poverty, and the
beatings of her husband, a Ger
tain woman in st. Mary'S County,
we shall call her Mary Smith, said
John had beat her for the last
time. Her boys had gotten older
and as she has always made the
living, would either kill him the
next time he got drunk or put
him out. Well John did get drunk
and picked up a stick of fire wood
to hit Mary with. But She was
two quick for him, and beat him
instead and the children from the
tiniest tot, all jumpt on John and
gave him the worse licking he
had ever had in his life, and get
ting up finally he sWore he would
never darken their door again,
and for many months he did not.
But he missed his family and
came back bringing his money
what he had Slaved in the lot
broiling sun for, and now he is
soon to be considered one of the
best husbands in the county. And
the beating turned out to be the
best thing that had ever happened
to him.

West Virginia Apples
DrdlU Larqer Profit

MARTINSBURG, w. Va. Aug.
19.-An optimistic note concern
ing the coming apple season has
been sounded by H. w. Miller,
of Paw Paw, Morgan county, and
head of Consolidated Orchard
Company. The orchardist stated
that his organization has made
80 cents more per barrel, net
profit, than was made up to the
same date last year.
Part of the added profit was
in reduced costs of growing and
handling but a larger part was
in better prices averaged for the
fruit sold.
