He did not explain why the car

WIVES IN PLAN
To KEEP JOBS

Times staff Photo

Women are devising plans to
circumvent that ''husband-and-
wife" clause in the emergency
economy legislation.
There has been considerable
agitation here to dismiss married
women from the Federal service if
their husbands are working. The
economy bill, now in the Senate,
provides that if a husband and
wife are both working for the
Government, one of the two will
be considered for dismissal.
Feminist headquarters here have
created a COMMITTEE of IL" to
devise a plan of campaign. They
have worked out a separation
contract" which, they insist, is
perfectly legal. It is not a di-
vorce, for it would. last only for
the period Of the emergency.
The National Woman'S Party is
back Of the idea, holding that
dismissal of married women is a
class discrimination, and that it
would encourage immortality.

RELIEF
STRIKES SNAG;
$4,000 IDLE
D. C. JobIess Increase; Funds
Gone; No Municipal Agency
To Meet the Situation

Washington's unemployment
problem, less serious than that
of most cities, is nevertheless
very real, and it is compli-
Gated by the exceptional con-
ditions existing as to govern
mental functions in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Washington has, for example,
no relief comparable to county
and State relief, either normal
or emergency.
Measures Very Limited
Washington has no municipal
emergency relief. In fact, this
city has no municipal relief what
soever, except a limited mothers
aid.
Official estimates have placed
the number of unemployed in
Washington at about 10000. In
vestigations by The Times, the
results of which have been pub
lished during the past week, in
dictate that this is minimum,
and that the number probably
more nearly approaches $4,000, il
it does not pass that figure.
The Municipal Employment
Bureau alone-only one of num-
erous placement agencies here
has 1882 men and women reg.
iStered. An Emergency Employ
ment Committee has provided
made work" with privately-con.
tributed funds Of $250,000.
Fund Is Depleted
The first four months of the
current year, however, have Seri-
ously depleted this fund; and
the private charities of the city,
despite the relief it has afforded,
have found demands for relief
rising month by month.
IAN unprecedented and alarm.
ing increase" is the description Of
this condition given by the Wash.
ington Council of Social Agencies.
At the present rate of disburSe-
ment, it is said, the funds of the
largest private relief giving agency
will be exhausted by July Is.
The Senate District Committee
is considering an appropriation
Of 100000 to be expended for
municipal relief.
This is not Federal relief; the
appeal is made to the Senate for
the expenditure Of District funds
because Congress is the only Iegis-
lative body of this city, and only
Congress can appropriate munich.
pal funds.
Takes 100 Per Cent
District appropriations will not
be increased, for work will be
slowed up on the proposed mu-
nicipal center to such an extent
as to make the 100000 available.
In IS large cities Of this coun-
try, for the fourth quarter of
1881, public funds for relief, ex-
elusive Of mothers aid, amounted
to $50 per cent of the total.
In the absence of public relief
in Washington, private philan.
thropy has been obliged to shout.
der 100 per cent of the load.
Private funds available this
year are estimated at $715,577. Re.
quirementS are estimated at ST.
O07, 800, which would would mean
a prospective deficit of $292,313.
Largest Need Here
Thus it is clear enough that
Washington, despite its highly ia.
vored position, is in urgent need
of funds to aid the unemployed
and their distressed families.
The $4,000, 100000 prosperity
Loan" first proposed by William
Randolph Hearst as a means OF
reviving business and providing
jobs. would have its effect in
Washington just as it would else
where; and the presence in this
city of 10000 to $4,000 unem.
ployed indicates the urgency that
action be taken at once.
