2,971 GIVEN WORK
UNDER n. R. A. HERE
Nearly 10000 Other Blue
Eagle Firms Yet to
Report.

The number Of known persons given
jobs since the N. r. A. campaign was
begun here neared the 5000 mark at
noon today when the number of report
ing employers reached 165.
Altogether, the reports show, 2,97l
men and women have been put back to
work since July /. Besides these, the
employers contemplate adding 712 more
workers In the near future. The monthly
pay roll increase through jubs known to
be filled is $136,036.26.
In making known these actual fig
ures today, Maj. Raymond Walter Of
the District of Columbia National Re-
covery Administration organization
pointed out that the nearly 5000 new
employees are those which only small
percentage of Washington employers
who signed the N. r. A. codes have
employers signed the codes and, to date,
only 1865 of these have definitely re-
turned the qucstionnaires sent them by
the local Blue Eagle organization.
Therefore, he said, the total number Of
new employees must be many times the
known 2,971.
What probably will be final action on
Washingtons one known violator of his
N. r. A. code will be taken Tuesday
when the case Of the restaurateur who
was working two of his employees many

pliance Board. Pending final DISPOSE
ton of the case, the offending employ
er has made what he calls temporary
adjustments" Of the hours Of the two

BR|TTEN OPPOSES
SWEDISH RUM LAW
Illinois Representative De-
cIares the Bratt System
Is "Un-American."

Representative Britten, Republican Of
Illinois. today announced his opposition
to any move to establish model liquor
control law fer the District similar to
the Bratt system in Sweden. He de-
clared any "un-American system"
which compels the purchaser of a meal
to get a drink would be emphatically
rejected by Congress.
Brittens statement was inspired by
newspaper reports that Corporation
Counsel Bride had started work on q
model liquor law for Washington and
that the Bratt system might be used
as pattern.
ANY system which will make a
drink expensive" Britten declared,
will Immediately set up speakeasies
and bootlegging facilities which have
been the curse Of prohibition.
"A tired Christmas shopper should be
permitted to get q bracing drink at a
drug store, q department store or any
other respectable establishment at a
moderate price. This would make Tor
real temperance.
"The best evidence of that is the fact
that beer can be purchased at l,600
places here and the privilege has not
been abused.
"Prohibitionists will not be permitted
to write any more national laws. They
are intolerant and IN complete discord
with the times.
I'VE are not going to kill the goose
that laid the golden egg. I am in favor
of getting as much revenue as possible
from sale Of distilled spirits, but If some
Of the suggested taxes are adopted,
there will be little liquor sold legally.
And the bootleggers would continue to
flourish"

United States; Savings Presi.
dent Charges Enmity
to Blame. b..
ASKS COURT MANDATE
AT HEARING OCTOBER q
Woodin and Controller Of Cur.
rency Among Six q. s. Officials
Named in Third Bill.

Charges that the action of the Treas
ury Department in keeping the United
States Savings Bank closed is dictated
by personal animus against its presi-
dent, Col. Wade H. Cooper. were made
today in the third bill filed in District
Supreme Court by Cooper against six
ofilcials Of the Treasury Department.
The suit asked mandatory tnjunc-
the bank to open under Col. Cooper's
plan.
The plan would make available i'm
mediately IS per cent Of the deposits to
their owners and place assets OF the
bank in trust for the eventual payment
Of the remaining IS per cent.
The defendants named are Secretary
William H. Woodin, Controller of the
Currency j. F. T. O'Connor, Deputy
Controller F. G. Await, W. r. Milford,
Walter j.. Cummings and w. Irving
Shuman.
AS a result of his first suit against
the department, the Treasury ahan-
doned its effort to force the United
States Savings Bank into q merger with
the Hamilton National Bank and agreed
to furnish Col. Cooper with lists OF
his depositors and otherwise cooperate
on any sound plan for opening the
bank.
Hearing October 4 Asked.
Following this Col Cooper appeared
In court demanding an order to re-
strain the Treasury Department from
selling liquid assets of the bank amount
ing to more than $500, 900 which were
to have been sold to the Hamilton Bank
IN the original merger plan This order
will come up for hearing in court Oc-
tober 4 and Cooper asked that the bill
hled today be taken up at that time
also.
In the document filed today it was
related that September 18 attorneys for
Col. Cooper submitted their plan to
the Treasury Department and were in
formed that they would be given an
answer as to whether it was accept
able in "a hours. The answer, how
ever, was put of until September %,
the bill states, when they were told
That the plan was unsatisfactory.
Claims Bank Sound.
The bill goes on to say that as a
matter of fact, the unimpaired capital
structure was 100000 above the liza
bll1tles on IS per cent basis Of de-
posits and that the IS per cent remain
ing would be secured by 100000 above
the security of the future earnings of
the bank and its capital stock.
The bill charges that the bank was
sound enough to have opened on March
IA. when other closed banks were IL
censed to open in the District. The
charges that the Treasury Department
will never consent to the reopening of
this bank and that this is mot founded
on good faith. but Is the result of their
personal enmity toward the plaintiff
and because defendants have already
adopted course toward the depositors
OF the United States Savings Bank SO
unfair and blameable that it would
greatly embarrass said defendants to
consent to the reopening of the United
States Savings Bank on terms fairer
and more just that the terms which
said defendants had maliciously and
Wantonly to enforce on said depositors."
