TEN ENROLL AT
 THOMASTON CAMP
Registration Totals l46- Site Operating at Full
 Strength

With the enollment of ten men on November Sth, 1883, Camp Roberts is now operating at full strength. One hundred and forty six men were enrolled for the sec ond time, the remaining 66 are new men who were quickly orient ed regarding their, duties and mode of living.
 On November 4th, 1888, the camp fire guard, consisting of 15 men, was called out to subdue the first forest fire of the season in this section. Sparks from a passing train started a leaf fire which burned over about two acres. The fire which lasted about an hour was quickly brought under control therefore preventing what might have been a more serious fire.
 The classes in penmanship, Eng fish, geography and arithme- tic started during the past week. The class in forestry has been meeting weekly since June 1st, 1888. On Monday nights, pictures will be shown by the forestry de- partment, dealing with the subject of Forestry. These will be both in- teresting and of an educational na- ture.
 The minstrel troup has accom- plished great deal at the bi- weekly rehearsals. The chorus con- sisting of 26 men has been prac- ticing the dozen or more songs which will be used. Dr Wander Aue. the camp surgeon, will play in the camp orchestra and also render a cornet solo.

and 500 men will be put to work under tho plan. The men will be taken from the Mutual Aid list. The men will be put to work first at the municipal golf course where com pletion of the second nine holes has been started.
 MT Harrison does not know what the salary will be, but believes it might be in the neighborhood of 40 cents an hour. If the weekly hours are fixed at 32 and a half it would pay SIS, under the govern ment plan.
 Superintendent Harrison is handi- capped by the lack of necessary tools and equipment to complete the job, but he has been given to understand that there will be a small allowance provided for that part of the program.
 Under the governments plan, the money would be turned over to the park department for the payroll, instead of providing jobs by con- tract and bidding.
 MT Harrison said he would have no further information to give out until he receives word from the administrator. A number of men called at the office today looking for work, but MT Harrison said it is useless to call at the office until further knowledge of the plan is forthcoming.
 William M. Harris, head of the Mutual Aid fund stated that there are about 300 receiving aid at the present time. If the governments s public works program removes 500 from the list of unemployed. it would mean big lift in local ad- ministration of the fund.

National Association to Con-

is Signed or Rejected.

Branding the restaurant code as q
violation of the human rights OF
workers, the 1nsurgent group Of the
National Restaurant Association served
notice today they would continue their
protests until the code Is signed or
turned down by President Roosevelt.
Mrs. Clara May Downey Of Olney Inn,
Olney. Md. leader Of the insurgents.
was one Of the last to testify at the
conclusion Of the hearings Wednesday
on the code. A former member of the
National Affairs Committee Of the Ma
ti0nal Restaurant Association, she Bit

In statement issued after the hearing.
Approval Of the code means tragedy
to restaurant workers throughout the
country who will be, If the code is ap-
proved, left to the mercy OF unscrupulous
employers. 1t means lcag hours at the
hardest kind Of la-or at sweatshop
wages"
Mrs. Downey charged that the Code
CO1nmlttee WAS composed OF an inner
group" OF the association and had dis
regarded the recommendations of
majority Of the industry for 4e-hour
week foy both men and women. Such
a recommendation, she said, had been
made after canvass Of the industry.
She added: 1T is intimated that
anything less than 81 hours a week for
both male and female workers will
threaten the very existence OF the In
dustry. It Is hard to believe this when
We consider that the Zone Committee
Of the association canvassed the entire
country and found that In zones repre-.

voted. Surely the majority of the
country's restaurants would not have
invited economic suicide. Had the voice
OF the majority been heard at the hear
ing. the hearing would have been on

Mrs. Downey condemned the wages
in the proposed code as unfair to labor
and leaving the employe at the mercy
Of the employer. Her protest was backed

French government to replenish treas

With the Paris government the only
world power remaining on the gold
standard, fiscal officers have noted
that for some months there have been
heavy Withdrawals Of gold from
France, which yesterdays dispatches
reported had reached a total of 81
000, ,000, 900 francs In three weeks.
These Withdrawals have been accom-
panied by unofficial but widespread pre-
dictions that France must abandon the
gold standard, especially If the Roose-

carried out vigorously In Paris.
