SPECIAL BOARD
WILL HANDLE
COMPLAINTS
Army Man Sought to Lead D.
C. Sign-up Drive; :, 300 Here
Get Blue Eagles

Despite rumors that employers
are violating the spirit of the
NRA codes, only one complaint
has been filed with Brig. Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson, it was an
nounced today.
At the same time it was an
nounced that the question of COM
plants was discussed for the first
time today and that, as a result,
national complaint bureau in all
probability would be established.
Barber Complains
Today's complaint was differ.
ent from any that have been
rumored. A barber called at the
NRA offices and requested that
an official be dispatched with
him tonight to see that he got
the minimum wage under the
.code-$14.50' He was informed
that the NRA was not a police
organization.
AS on previous days, since the
special window in the Post Office
Department has been opened for
distribution of blue eagle insignia.
Washington employers came and
went today. 1t was estimated
that between $3.50 and | D. m,
approximately 200 insignia had
been issued, bringing the total
since August l to more than $500,
Hardware Stores Act
Meanwhile announcement was
made by the District of Columbia
Retail Hardware Association that
125 of the 167 local hardware
dealers had agreed to operate on
new hours and that there would
be approximately so to IS new
jobs. The new hours and the
new jobs will go into effect
August IS.
Heads of three trade bodies and
the Federation of Citizens Associa.
tions were reported trying to con.
centrate on a real Army man to
head the campaign to bring
Washington within the NRA fold,
100 per cent.
Plans for the meeting Monday,
at which the general of the Wash
1ngton campaign will be selected,
were going forward today, with
sentiment crystallized toward nam
ing a real Army man to head the
drive.
This intention, it was said, was
brought about by success of the
campaign in Baltimore, where
Maj. Gen. Paul B. Malone, chief
of the Third Army Corps Area, is
the directing genius.
GIassfOrd Mentioned.
Those mentioned for the local
postal Army men-are: Brig.
Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, former
chief of police; Maj. Gen. Anton
Stephen, head of the District Ma
tional Guard, and Maj. Gen.
Amos A. Fries, who commanded
the chemical warfare service dur
ing the World War.
The Whelan drug stores an
nounced yesterday that they
would cooperate with the recov-
cry drive, and beginning Monday
would go on the 48-hour week. 1t
was estimated that so persons
would be employed in the eight
local stores.
The first NRA consumers signs
appeared locally yesterday, being
issued to NRA employees by Lin
ton M. Collins, personnel director.

LEASE.
FOR RENTERS
REQUESTED
PUG. Asks Real Estate Board
To Assist Preparation
of Standard Form

The cooperation of the Wash
ington Real Estate Board in pre-
pairing standard forms for leases
and other real estate documents
was asked today by William w.
Roberts, assistant corporation
counsel, on behalf of the Public
Utilities Commission.
Roberts request was contained
in a letter to H. Clifford Bangs,
president of the Real Estate
Board. He pointed out that many
complaints now before the Public
Utilities Commission in it's Senate
authorized rent investigation are
based on the forms of leases or
other papers.
Wants New Leases
Roberts said his plan is to
draw up, with the cooperation
of the Real Estate Board, forms
for leases which would be to the
best advantage of both tenants
and landlords and to have these
forms approved by the commits
sion.
Stationers handling the forms
which would be authorized to
print on the forms the fact that
they were approved by the COM
mission, and Roberts believes
public pressure would be suffi-
cient to force the use of these
forms.
Tenants In Doubt
Under present conditions, Rob-
erts said, there are so many
forms of leases in use that the
average tenant has no idea of
what his rights are or what
he is prohibited from doing.
A copy of Roberts letter was
sent to Roger Whiteford, counsel
for the Real Estate Board.

Beggar Steals
From Woman
BenefuctOr

Mrs. Mamie Nichols, 1900
block New Hampshire Ave.
N. w., thinks she has en-
countered Washington's most
ungrateful panhandler.
A man came to the front
door of her home and said he
was hungry, Mrs. Nichols told
police last night, and she went
to the kitchen to get him
something to eat.
She left the man in a front
room. When she returned with
some food he had gone and
taken two dresses, valued at
$75, and a pair of flannel
trousers valued at $5.

become conscious of this fact until it
was too late, the system has been put
into effect under the compelling, but
still friendly, hand of the Government.
There are, to be sure, side issues,
which are striking and desirable, such
as limiting hours of work and abolish
ing child labor. On the other hand, the
Government of the United States is not
openly subsidizing its citizens, it still
demands that they work for a living,
and it makes the owner of mine or a
chain drug store the financial agent
through whom the money flows out.

Many Calls for
Labor Are Made

RALEIGH, Aug. 19.-The re-
employment offices already open
in the state are getting an in
creasing number of calls from
employers for labor of various
kinds, State Director of Re-em-
ployment Capus w. Waynick said
today. So far most of these calls
are coming from individual en-
nloyers wanting only from one to
ten men for various types OF
work, although in some cases re-
quests are received for more.
The unemployment office here
in Raleigh yesterday received a
request for so carpenters and rs
laborers from one employer and
it is still busy trying to round up
the so carpenters, although it was
simple matter to supply the la
borers. Earlier in the week the
office was asked to supply Is car
penters for some special work out
at State College in connection
with the construction of the new
stadium there. Many requests are
also being received for walters,
cooks, farm help and various other
kinds of work. So far approx
mately 1000 unemployed have
registered with the local re-em-
ployment office, of which about
one-half are skilled workers.
Because the unemployment Of
fees have been open such a short
time and the enrolment so rapid,
few of the offices have yet had
an opportunity to go through the
registration cards carefully and
classify the various workers
any of the offices also are not yet
fully equipped either with files or
personnel, so that it is quite a
task for them to fill these large
rush orders they are getting.
"When we got that big rush or
der for so carpenters, on top OF
the order for Is carpenters few

the hundreds of registration cards
