several days ago. Zoo officials
have been unable to determine
the cause.
Jojo had only one friend at
the Zoo, and that was N'Gi. Dur

and refused to eat properly.

WORK STOPPED,
HOTEL GUESTS
CAN 7 SLEEP
Raleigh Complains Business
Is Lost, So Night Shift
Is Ordered to Quit

The night shift working or
the excavation for the new
Postoffice Department Build
ing, at Twelfth and Thirteenth
Streets and Pennsylvania Ave
nue., has been laid off, effective
at once.
Approximately 200, men are
affected, it was said at the lot,
but the day shift will be aug
mented, so some of the men
will find jobs there.
The Hotel Raleigh some time
ago complained to the supervising
architects office, in the Treasury
Department, according to John E.
Letton, manager of the hotel, be-
cause the night noises threatened
to drive away some of its best
business.
Guests Couldn't Sleep
With two shifts in operation
the work began at 6 a. m. and
continued till 1870 at night.
Guests in the front rooms along
Twelfth Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue, complained that they
could not sleep, and Mr.. Letton
suggested that the working time
be reduced, starting at 7 a. m.
and shutting off at 9 p. m.
Among the Raleigh,s guests is
Senator Carter Glass CD of Vir-
ginia. It was understood at the
lot, and admitted at the hotel,
that he had made a personal COM
plaint. Senator Glass makes his
home at the hotel except when
he has the opportunity to go to
Lynchburg for week-ends.
The construction companies re-
Gently changed the shifts, acting
on Mr.. Lotions suggestion. but
found that they could not work
the shortened hours profitably.
Got Higher Pay
D. G. Scott, representing the
general contractors in charge of
the work, said that on the night
shift eight hours pay was given
for seven hours work, and that
the risk of accidents was greater
at night For a combination of
reasons. therefore, it was advisable
to eliminate the night work.
Today and until further no,
tice work will shut down on the
excavation at 4 p. m. Some of
the men formerly on the night
shift will be transferred to the
day side, because time is grow
ing short and the piles are all
supposed to be driven by May /:
Therefore, every man who can
be employed advantageously on
the day side will probably get
Job eventually. The company in
charge of the pile driving faces a
penalty of 5000 a day for failure
to complete it's work on time,
but the penalty is considerably
less, Mr.. Scott said, than it's loss
operating a night shift.

8 p. m. Thursday of next week to
consider the traction merger bill,

CD of New York, chairman Of
the Public Utilities subcommittee,
declared he had been advised
that employees and officials of
the two companies had agreed
that no reductions would be
made in salaries or personnel III
the merged company.
Black, who has been holding
up the favorable report of the
subcommittee because he had
learned that reductions were con-
templated, said today the mat
ter had been adjusted and he
was satisfied that employees
would not suffer because of the
merger. The announcement was
made at the regular meeting of
the District Committee.
The committee agreed to re-
port out the child labor law
amendment bill that would per-
nit children to appear in Dis
trict theaters which, heretofore,
they we're prevented from doing

The bill for the creation of
a District Board of Indeterminate
Sentence and Parole was amended
and will be reported to the House.
The amendment, made at the
suggestion of Representative How

would fix a minimum time of
parole at one-third of the maxi

fifth as the bill originally pro-
vided.

about general reductions in all

RAPS THE PROPONENTS

future of the country depends
on reducing the wages of char
women, file clerks and other
lOw-salaried employees. The most

posed would only be decimal

LaGuardia said that few people
realize the danger of widest con-
fusion and disorder that may be
brought about by Federal salary
reduction.
Wealthy Urge Cuts
It was pointed out today that
the three members of the Economy
Committee who are the most en-
ergetic advocating flat reduction
of 10 percent on all salaries are
wealthy men who would not be
disturbed by reductions in their
own salaries as members of Con-
gress. They are Will Wood (R)
of Indiana, John McDuffie CD
of Alabama and Lewis w. Douglas
CD of Arizona.
Representative Joseph w. Byrns
CD of Tennessee, chairman Of
the Economy Committee de-
clared that although he was IN
favor of reductions, he would
personally oppose any bill that
did not cut congressional salaries.
The committee is expected to
report a bill providing for cuts of
from one to 90 per cent in all
salaries.

CHURCH CRUSADE AGAINST VICE, PLAN IN PRINCE GEO
AID WITHHELD,
SAYS SENATOR

The charge that Democratic
States are suffering and will con-
tinue to suffer in the public
works program provided in the
emergency relief act was uttered
today by Senator Thomas CD
of Oklahoma. He cited the stu
alton close to his home as proof
of his allegation.
A clause in the law gives the
Administration virtually selective
power, Thomas pointed out. 1t
provides that. except for the pub
lie roads and forest trails pro-
gram, no part of the relief funds
shall be expended, "if the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury certifies to
the President that the amount
necessary for such expenditure is
not available and cannot be OBJ
tained upon reasonable terms"
Senator Thomas said:
Little or none of this money
for public buildings is going to
be spent in certain Democratic
States. Within five miles of
my home is Fort Sill. Plans
have been ready for years for
putting construction there nee
esSary for the Artillery School
Of Fire. More than S1,OOO,OOO

She had felt always that she could rely on her mother, though floods came and the winds blew and all the other houses went floating out to sea.
