BANS ON WORKING

CHICAGO, March 6-Agitation to re-
move the names of married women from
public pay rolls is being consistently
ignored by the Nations legislators.
If Nebraska lawmakers follow the ex-
ample Of nearly a dozen other State
Assemblies, bill to limit to heads of
families the right to hold oficial jobs
will be voted down this week, when 1t Is
scheduled for consideration.
The Nebraska bill would affect wives
of men who draw more than $4,000 an
nually from public funds. 1t follows the
general principle of proposed laws which
have been rejected in at least four Leg
islatures and which have small chance

employment of married women whose
husbands are able to support them was

bill to bar married women from State

wives from teaching school. Failure also
met an endeaver in Vermont to keep
married women with no dependent fam
lies from holding State or county jobs.

ures. Several bills in Iowa failed Of

Michigan last month, 1t was pointed
out, had spread to such an extent
throughout the country that when the
President acted, all banks were faced
with difncult bookkeeping problem.
Streets Are Quiet.
The streets were qlliet outside Of the
banks. On the front door of some Of
the banks appeared sign announcing
that the institution had closed in con-
formity with the Presidents proclama-
ton. Other banks displayed the regular
italic-type signs which are used on
Thanksgiving, Christmas and other legal
holidays. A typical one read: Legal
Holiday To-day. This Bank VIII Not
Be Open"
One Of the perplexing problems which
confronted the banks as well as num-
Der Of their customers, involved the cUr-
tailments on notes which fall due during
the four-day holiday. In q number OF
cases, it was said. people who have
such notes falling due have money on
deposit to make curtailments The solu-
tion to this puzzle. however. will be left
to Federal officials.

D. c. WILL ACCEPT
CHECKS FOR TAXES.
Per Diem Employees Will Be
Paid in Currency-0thers
Unaffected Yet.

district officials conferred today with
Federal Government Officers on the
question of how the Presidents order
OF closing the banks Of the country
may affect financial affairs of the Dis
trict government. The outcome ap-
peared to be that the District receipts
and payments would be continued as
usual, this week at least, pending an
nouncement of the solution Of the ma
tional situation.
One of the most important questions
under consideration was that involving
the acceptance of check payments for
the semi-annual realty and personal
taxes due this month.
For the time being at least the Dis
trict will continue to accept checks
drawn on local banks in payment OF the
March taxes. The plan temporarily
placed in effect, however, provides for
the temporary withholding by the Dis
trict of the issuance of receipts for
such payments until such time as sucn
checks can be caShed at banking nsu-
tutions.
Discussed at Conferences.
The matter was discussed today at
conferences between the District Com
missioners. Tax Collector Chatham
Towers and District Auditor D. j. Dom
officials of the Treasury Department
and Internal Revenue Bureau.
The District this week expects to
meet. as customary, pay roll of ap-
proximately $65000 for various per
diem employees of the local government.
Expectations today were that they
would be paid in currency as usual.
District employees on the annual pay
roll who are paid off by checks drawn
against the District revenues in the
Treasury will not be affected by the
bank closings this week. The next pay
Is not due until March IS.
Per diem men due to be paid this
week are employees Of the Trees and
Parks Divisions. Water Department,
Street Cleaning Department, the Sewer
Division and the District reduction
plant at Cherry Mill, Va. They will be
paid in cash from funds now to the
credit of the District in the Treasury.
it was explained today by Maj. James
r. Lusby, District disbursing officer.
Destitute Not to Suffer.
Indications today were also that the
several thousands of destitute persons
now receiving aid from the District
through its Committee on Unemploy-
ment would not suffer as the result Of
the bank holiday. The District now
has approximately $575,0 available in
the Treasury for payments to these
needy families. This is made up Of a
sum of approximately s450,000 remain
Ing from an appropriation of $625, 900
for unemployment relief which was
made available in January and an ad-
ditional sum of s175,000 which was
appropriated by the past Congress last
week, to carry the District through the
remainder of the current fiscal year.
The needy families receiving aid
through this committee under the Board
OF Public Welfare all are engaged in
the made" work projects planned by
the engineering division of the District.
Under this program about $4,000 was
disbursed to the per diem workmen
last week

CHICAGO, March 6.-Chicago solved

With all banks closed here, the ex-

When Mr.. Hoover will leave Manhat-

possibility that he might revise his

up to now there has been no strin-

made because the paper could not be
