PROMOTION PLAN
| OF F|REMEN URGED
Logan-Thomas Circle Group
Favors Action in Behalf of
Experienced Men.

The contention of the City Fire Figh-
ters' Association that promotions in the
Fire Department should be from within
| its ranks was indorsed last night by the
Logan Thomas Circle Citizens Associa-
| ton.
This action was taken following a
communication setting out the position
of the flremen and asking the associa-
tion to urge the District Commissioners
to promote experienced f1remen to
| vacant Offices.
A report indicating the Federal Gov
| ernment now contributes only about 16
per cent of the cost of District govern
ment was presented to the association
by H. E. Young who conducted an in
vestigation of tax-exempt property in
the city.
Mr.. Young said all schools, churches
| and e,eemosynary institutions in the
| District are exempt from taxes. He re-
ported that all now so exempted actually
are used for proper purposes and the
only discrepancy in the situation Is the
Federal Governments contribution to
the District.
| A committee was appointed to find out
why the Washington Railway & Electric
Co. has not laid new tracks on Eleventh
street between M street and Massa-
chusetts avenue. 1t was pointed out
that tracks were laid north to Massa-
| chusettS avenue and south to M street,
leaving the block between the two
streets with its old track. The COM
mittee was composed Of Mr.. Young, his
wife and w. w. Stout. The association
also urged improvement of sidewalk
and street conditions at Logan Circle
and Kingman place.

Baltimore area have shown little
concern over prospective loss of

Quizzed by a curious reporter,
one investigator said he planned
to build a cottage on Mt. PiSgah,

he muSed, he would never "see
a prohibition agent or a liquor

Another would resume his work

CONTENDS
Move Called "ViciouS Effort;
Blamed on "SeIfiSh
Special Interests"

Denouncing "sweatshop" tactics
In Federal personnel adminiStra-
ton. the executive council Of the
National Federation of Federal
Employees at their biennial con-
vention today took further steps
toward uniting the opposition of
all Government workers and
friendly legislators to salary
slaSheS.
Blaming bitter and vicious ef-
forts of selfish special interests"
for trying to disrupt and ulti-
mately destroy" the Federal SER
vice structure through wage cuts,
the council insisted that still
further cuts are absolutely in
defensible on any score"
The council reiterated it's ad-
vocacy of optional 30-year retire
ment, 30-day annual leave and 80
day cumulative sick leave, and re-
peal of those clauses of the
economy act barring married
women and forbidding filling of
vacancies.
Organization matters were dis
cuSSed at this mornings session,
and this afternoon the council
members spent much time calling
on Senators and Members Of the
House to further opposition to
pay cuts. They found many in
diyidual opinions hostile to fur
ther slashes, they reported.
The present economy wave is
"based on premise of false
economy" and is bringing
"abuses, injustices and inequities"
to Federal personnel, said the
council, which will bring to a
head this week the campaign
against further restrictions on
employees.
Definite details will be outlined
tomorrow night at the willard at
a banquet given by federation
members to the council.

D. c. PROBE Of
MILK PRICES
Two Cents a Quart Too High,
Commissioners Are Told;
Costs Elsewhere Cited

A thorough investigation into
District milk prices, which the
Takoma Park Cd. C.-Md0 Citizens
Association declares are higher
than are justified, was asked Of
the District Commissioners by
that association at its monthly
meeting last night.
The petition was presented to
the Federation of Citizens ASso-
Citations also.
Lower Prices Elsewhere
Prices of milk in Baltimore,
Philadelphia. Pittsburgh, New
York and Boston. from two to
five cents lower, were cited as evi-
dence in the statement signed by
H. r. Smalley, president, and
Leonora r. Sanborn, secretary.
The statement said in part:
'The retail price Of milk In
the District is substantially
higher than i'm other cities
similarly situated. We have no
desire to beat down the price
of milk to the farmer and we
realize that the milk supplied
the District is in the main Of
high quality. But statements
to that effect are largely Of
local origin.
HELD TWO CENTS HIGH
"Our study Of wholesale and
retail prices i'm other cities
indicates that the retail price
here is at least two cents q
quart higher than can be
justified by farm prices and
distribution costs.
"The association strongly
urges that those In authority
initiate at once an inveStiga-
tiOn."
