OFFICIALS MAP OUT
D. c. PUBLIC WORKS
Three Classes of Projects
Planned Under Industrial
Control Bill.

Approval by Congress of the indus
trial control-public works bill led Dis
trict officials today to begin compilation
of a suggested list of municipal con-
struction projects which are needed
and could be carried forward advan-
tageously If necessary Federal funds
are made available.
While the Commissioners have taken
no definite action, serious study Is
being given to the most urgent build
ing projects so complete information
will be available when the time comes
for Federal officials to consider requests
from the States and the District for
allotments.
Gather Figures on Cost.
Executives of the engineer division
of the District are gathering data re-
garding needed projects and tentative
specifications and costs.
Under the bill, local construction, In
the interest of lessening unemployment,
may be financed through direct grants
or loans out of the Federal fund, or
through grants up to 80 per cent OF
the costs, with the local jurisdiction
providing the remainder.
The lists now being compiled deal
with those which could be done under
a Federal grant, since the District could
not borrow funds under the SOTO pro-
vision.
Among projects considered are the
Calvert Street Bridge, the Woodrow VII
son and the Anacostia High Schools,
the Contagious Ward Building for Gal
linger Municipal Hospital and the Jef-
ferson Junior High School. Funds to
start construction of these were pro-
vided in the District supply bill, but
other money will be needed for their
completion.
Another item Is the proposed new
Municipal Center, for which the District
now has an authorization OF $4,000, ,00o,
but funds amounting to only $500, 600.
A secondary list includes two items
for which plans have been drawn, out
for which appropriations have not been
made-the proposed Georgetown Branch
Library and the small mammal house
at the Zoo.
A third class of suggestions includes
projects regarded as needed, but Tor
which funds have not been authorized
or appropriated. This includes senior
high school for the Manor Park section,
a colored senior high school in the
vicinity of Benning road and Fifteenth
street northeast; a new District jail, a
new ward building at Gallinger Hos
pital, completion of construction pro-
gram at the Lorton, Va, Reformatory;
completion of the Central Public Library
Building; a new adult tuberculosis Hos
pital. a new industrial home school and
additions to the Brown and Deal Junior
High Schools.

Bullet Manufacturer
Adopts Code; Fires
Many and Cut Pay

ANOKA, Minn.-Adoption Of the
NRA code by the Federal Cartridge
Corp, one Of the biggest labor hating
makers of ammunition in the coun-
try, means fewer jobs and less pay
for the employees, President Charles
L. Horn of the corporation announces.
1t is said that about $50 girls have
been paid II cents an hour for the
55-hour week and there is no an
nouncement as to what they will get
hereafter. Horn simply says that men
in the higher pay brackets will have
their wages slashed.
"At the present time we are oper-
ating our factory IA hours week."
Horn said in a letter to employees,
ridiculing the NRA. "We have agreed
to reduce our total working hours to
80 week. This unfortunate situa-
ton will mean that in many cases
the number of working hours per-
mitted will require reduction Of one
third in the present crew.
There will be reduction of earn
ings. Some Of the men in the higher
pay brackets will be compelled to re-
ceive less money week. We shall
do everything possible to be equal and
fair, but Washington has given us
little encouragement in this matter" I"

ganized in the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union, the
workers in the Market Forge Co.,
after a short strike and negotia-
tions with the boss, Mr.. Bercowitz,

but also cut the pay.

phatically rejected by the strikers.
The latter proposal has been made
by Whalen and is for the purpose OF
sitting the struggle as early as pos
sible. Other demands raised by the
strike committee were for the right
of the workers to belong to a union
of their own choice and the right to
be represented at all hearings for a
settlement.

day noon only two members OF ths
delegation OF ten were permitted to
go up to the conference rooms, where
they were met by Grover Whalen's
secretary, who informed them that
since they had made no appointment
in advance they would not be ad-
mitted to the conference. Irving
Potash, secretary of the Union, then
declared that the $4,000 dressmakers
he represented will not accept any
settlement made by this conference.
The delegation was then informed
through Whalen's secretary that the
Union must address letter request
ing an appointment. Such letter
has already been sent by the Union
together with protest against not
being admitted to the hall and a
reminder that the strikers will fight
against any settlement arrived At
without their participation and the
consent Of the strikers.
The letter also declares that the
workers will not accept the victory
on paper, but the same sweatshop
conditions by which policy tho 7 L.
c. w. officials betrayed the dress
makers in the strike Of 1882.
The strikers enthusiastically en-
dorsed the decisions Of the general
strike committee at strike meetings
yesterday afternoon, which were
packed to the doors.
The entire strike machinery was
organized yesterday afternoon after
q second meeting of the general strike
committee with the purpose Of mobn-
izing the strikers against any secret
conferences without the participation
of the strikers themselves and against
any betrayal which may be arrived at
by the I. l.. G.. w. officials Jointly
With the bosses and the N. r. A.
administration.
Arrangements have been completed
for big picketing demonstration to
be held today at 7:3o am. and for
