PARLEY TOPIC

An attempt to straighten out
difficulties over the award of a
$45O,O00 contract for construc-
ton of a chemistry laboratory
at Howard University was to be
made today at the Interior De-
partment.
Assisi mt Secretary of Interior
Oscar L. Chapman was expected
to meet with architects and a
representative of the solicitors
office to determine if the recent
executive order rquiring obsrv-
ance of NRA regulations will pre-
vent contractors from fulfilling
their original bids.
A previous obstacle. that of in
sufficient Federal funds, has neen
overcome by a decision to draw
$4,000 from another fund set
aside for routine repairs.

S. Johnson, administrator Of the
recovery program, has intimated
his organization will decline nu-
merically before long.
But the reductions clearly will
affect first Of all the expert and
technical help, and clerical en-
ployee may get off with relatively
few casualties.
$4,000 Dropped
The Civil Service Commission
today made public figures, as of
June 30. 1888, the last day of
the fiscal year, which show that
there were then 65,437 employees
in Washington and 499, 1895 in the
field, total Of 565.432 on the
payroll Of the Federal govern
ment.
This represents a drop Of near
ly $4,000 from the figure on the
corresponding date a year ago,
about $500 in Washington and
the rest in the field.
Secretary Of Commerce Daniel
C. Roper recently gave out some
figures approximating these for
the decline in Washington, but
the field figures are new.
Redistribution Figures
An apparently much larger de-
cline of nearly $4,000 employees
was recorded in the total between
June 30, 1881. and the same date
of 1882, but it was explained at
the commission today that this
reduction was not real. inasmuch
as the 1881 figures included en-
ployes of postmasters who should
not have been classified as Gov
ernment workers, and are not so
classified today.
The figures presented do not
include the emergency organiza-
tions, which probably employ
nearly as many, in Washington
and in the field, as have been
dropped.

FINANCIALLY
Prince Georges System Has
Surplus; In Best Condition
Of Last IL Years

Despite economic conditions the
Prince Georges county public
schools ended the last fiscal year
in the best financial position In
IL years, announces County
Superintendent Nicholas Orem.
The annual financial report,
reayd for submission to the
county board of education and
the Maryland State board, shows
a building fund credit of $29,.
453.87 and a current fund bal.
ance of $9,088.50, compared with
$19,613.19 and a $148.O4 deficit,
respectively. for last year. ..
Costs Reduced
The average cost of schools per
pupil was Sails, or $232 cheaper
than last year. There were 663
more pupils enrolled. for a total
average enrolment of 1882.
The schools financial condition
was attributed to cut in teach.
ing staffs by Mr.. Orem. Teach
ers last term carried the largest
possible load" of pupils, which
will necessitate an increase in
buildings and staffs next year,
he said
Small School Expensive
The most expensive high school
was that of Brandywine, the
smallest, with per pupil cost Of
$159.92. This school may not be
opened this year. The lowest
cost was noted at the Maryland
Park High School. with a cost
Of $7469 Next lowest was Hy-
attsville, $77.18.
Total expense was $632,511.45,
and total receipts $671. 1.053.83,
leaving balance of $38,542.38.
OF receipts, $4s8,34o was the
county tax.

MARKETS
ORGANIZED
IN COUNTY
Movement Seen as Doom
of UnsightIy Roadside
Produce Stands

Elimination of "unSi slightly"
roadside markets in Prince
Georges county is seen in the
movement Of Maryland farmers
to enroll in the Maryland Farm
ers' Roadside Market Association,
sponsored by the Extension Serv-
ice Of the University Of Mary
land.
Sentiment against overnight"
markets on the highways has
been felt in the county for some-
time. These markets in question
are mostly in the vicinity of the
District Line.
The market association will
take as members only bona fide
farmers of the State. Members
of the association must also
agree that so per cent ot the
products sold are produced on
the operators farm and that an
additional Is per cent shall be
from Maryland farms.
Most Of the produce sold in the
markets which line the highways
adjacent to Washington is pur-
chased in the District and sold as
fresh" according to S. B. Shaw,
head of the Maryland State De
partment of Markets.
The movement, which began
last January, has gained impetus
with the issuance of emblems by
the department of markets.
The emblem, which is displayed
by each members, measures two by
three feet and is painted on both
sides in the color scheme of the
State of Maryland. It assures the
purchaser that the stand has been
approved by the State department
Of markets.
The member pays a rental Of
$40 a year for the sign. Sixteen
farmers in Prince Georges county
already have enrolled in the
organization.
A recent QUESTIONABLE sent out
by Mr.. Shaw shows that the ma
jority of buyers from the stands
have done so because they wanted
fresh articles. The roadside mar
ket trade, it was pointed out, does
not conflict with that of the chain
store.

ing Proposition; Conventions
to Hear Their Pleas

A discordant note appeared to-
day in the Administrators recov.
cry program, when it became
known that a number of men who
have been employed in the For
estry Service field work for term
Of years are asking that some
protection be given their jobs,
many of which are said to have
been taken over by the Civilian
Conservation Corps.
An organization of Federal EN-
ployeS has received number of
complaints from these men, it
was said, protesting that the
c. C. c. has undertaken work
that they have long been en-
gagged upon and that in conse-
quence their livelihoods are en-
dangered.
The forestry field service work
ers are mainly seasonal employees,
but they have in many instances
worked regularly over term of
years and have felt that they
had some tenure in their jobs.
Now, they say, because Of the
c. C. c.. their jobs are consider
ably reduced in number.
They are disturbed, not only be-
cause some of them have no jobs
this year, but because they expect
the C. C. C. to be continuing
proposition. a sort of labor reSer-
voir in hard times. The man dis
placed plan to bring the matter
to the attention of one or both
national conventions of Federal
workers, which will be held next
month.
