To publicize the Legion Baseball benefit dance at the Elks' hall Saturday night, the boys drum and bugle corps, thirty strong, paraded the streets of Juneau last night to the accompaniment of their trum- pet blares and rolling drums
 All who heard them seemed to agree that the lads are ifnprov- ing splendidly and that the corps is another organization of which Juneau may be justly proud.

D. c. GETS more
FOR RELIEF

The Districts share of the
$5OO,OOO,OOO for relief appropri-
ated under the Lewis-Wagner act,
will amount to some $4,000 more
than had been anticipated, Di-
rector of Public Welfare George
S. Wilson has been informed.
Under the terms of the bill
each State is entitled to one
third of the amount it expended
for relief purposes during the
first quarter of this year. This
would entitle the District to ap-
proximately $131,7O0 as its first
allotment under the bill.
In addition to this, however,
r. Wilson has been told, the local
welfare agency is entitled to ap-
proximately $4,000 in partial re-
impursement for costs of admin
istering local relief funds during
the first quarter of the year.
The Districts application for
its share of the fund has been
forwarded to the administrator
of the fund, and an answer is
expected within a few days.

The Public Utilities Commission

Light Company, that it will have
to seek elsewhere for information
as to the changed Setup of the
principal stockholders of the COM

The Chase National Bank and

The right of District residents
to employment by the Federal
Government was defended on the
floor of the House today by
two Republicans during a discus
sion of the emergency railroad
transportation act.
Representative Thomas L. Blan-
ton CD of Texas, criticized the
fact that the District, while en-
titled to only 1873 Civil Service
appointees, has 10,778.
Representative Gerald j. Boz
leau (R.) of Wisconsin answered
Blanton in fiery speech in
which he defended the right of
local residents to hold Federal
jobs regardless of the apportion-
ment provision of the Civil Serv-
ice act of 1888.
Boileau based his defense on
home ties. He pointed out that
many men had come to the Dis
trict 80 or 40 years ago and had
raised families on salaries as
Government employees. He stressed
the fact that Federal jobs are
practically the only employment
open to District residents and
declared it was wrong to say
that men and women who were
here could not find employment
in the only available place-the
Federal service.

SUGGESTED

William A. Roberts, president
of the Federal Bar Association,
today addressed a letter to Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins, asking her
what steps her department is
taking to determine the increase
in cost of living in Washington
and the country at large since
the recent IS per cent Federal
pay cut.
The letter calls attention to the
flexible provision of the economy
act which will permit a rise in
Federal pay to correspond with
increases in the cost of living
and adds that the Bar Associa-
ton has been informed that
prices in general have advanced
since the pay cut.
Since the pay revision, if any
is to be made, must be made by
July l, the association points
out, only a short time remains
during which to prepare data on
which to base the change.

President Roosevelt has been

Reciprocity Is Aim
Despite the attitude Of many
congressional Democrats, trclud-
ing most of the House leaders,
the President is expected to send
the message to Congress early
next week.
The Chief Executive is said to
feel that power to act speedily Is
absolutely essential to put into
effect agreements which may be
reached at the London economic
conference.
Reciprocal trade treaties, involv-
ing tariff concessions, are ex-
pected to be sought promptly with
Canada and many South Amer.
lean countries.
Many of the Presidents advis-
ers hold that his power to drive
bargains on all questions before
the economic conference would be
strengthened if he can close or
open the doors to the rich Amer
ican market.
TARIFF ROW FEARED
II don't want to see Congress :
embroiled in a tariff dispute at
this time"
So said one prominent Demo
cratic House leader who declined
to permit the use of his name. He
added:
"It may proIong the adjourn
ment of Congress and many
DemOcrOts do not feel that they
can support a proposal to raise
tariff rates by this method"
The President. it has been
pointed out, has authority to raise
or lower tariff duties so per cent
under the flexible provisions Of
the tariff law. His action must
be based upon recommendations
of the Tariff Commission.
Under authority already given
the President to effect govern
mental reorganization, he could,
however, speedily reorganize the
Tariff commission and install
members willing to assist him in
carrying out his international
tariff policy.
