Saturday, With $2O1 Donated,
Hits Lowest Point of Entire
Week in 'Daily'S' Fund Drive
Only Sharp Rise in Donations Can Save Paper
Now! Rush All Collections!

Nine districts contributed TO the
Daily" fund on Saturday--and all
they succeeded in raising was 1901 so.
This is $58.6i less than Fridays to-
tai and LESS THAN HALF Of what
was received on Thursday The fact
that the Daily Workers plight con-
stantly grows more acute should re-
suit in greatly INCREASED donations,
not in SO alarming falling off Of

At the end of three weeks, the
workers have succeeded in raising

which needs minimum OF $4,000

port to the Black Bill. Shortly
afterwards three delegates TO Pain.

Weinstock, we're suspended, and alto
gether eight members Of local unions
put under charges, in connection
with a Mock Trial Of officials con-
Quoted by the rank and file, which

executive TO make a change Of front
on the question Of Unemployment In

to the painters and building trades
workers, but to the entire labo,

HERE URGED

James Ring, rent research as
sistant to the Public Utilities
Commission, today took steps to
carry out the first specific recon-
mendations made by the COM
mission in connection with the
rent investigation ordered by a
Senate cummittee.
Three properties are involved
and in each case reduction in
rent is urged by the commission.
One case involves a large house
used as boarding house. The
commission found that the pres
ent rent of $50 is mot excessive"
but recommended cut to $55
per month. The second case was
that of a one-family house in
Woodbridge, on which the rent
has been $61.75 per month, which
the owner has offered to cut to
$3.50.
The third case is that of a
house in Tenellytown, on which
the rent is $50. Ring is directed
to interview the owner and urge
O reduction to $45.
Since Ring took over the rent

AUTO ACCIDENT
WAVE STUDIED

The cause of $4,000 automobile
accident deaths in this country
last year will be the subject Of
a new nationwide campaign.
It is Highway Safety Month,
proclaimed for September by
safety organizations, motor clubs,
school authorities and civic asso-
Citations.
This month has been picked
for the drive because, say au-
thorities, it is one of the worst
in the year for automobile fatali-
ties. Millions of school children
will be on the streets, and fire.
quent rains and fogs, with shorter
daylight hours, contribute to the
trouble.
The organizations backing the
campaign ask the cooperation
of motorists in following such
safety rules as staying to the
right, eliminating the cutting of
corners. and keeping the brakes
and headlights in tip-top condi-
ton.

PISTOL AS TOY
NEARLY FATAL

Playing with a pistol had dis
astrous results today for 13-year-
old James Jones, colored, 800 block

He now lies seriously wounded
in Gallinger Hospital, having been
shot through the right chest by
his brother, Harold, II, while the
two were handling the gun, found
by them in a sewing machine, po-
lice say.
Taken by a passing taxicab to
Providence Hospital, where au-
thorities reported the boy in a
serious condition because of the
passage of bullet through his
lung, James was transferred later
to Gallinger Hospital.
The two boys live with their
mother, Mrs. Luvenia Jones.

HUNDREDS GET
RETAIL STORE
JOBS HERE
NRA Cites Gains Even Before
Code Is in Effect; 5000 to
Be Hired, Is Belief

Hundreds upon hundreds Of
the 5000 persons that Govern.
ment experts have estimated will
be put back to work in washing
ton under the general retail code
already are reemployed here, it
was said today by local NRA
officials.
The adoption by nearly 10000
District employers of the blanket
code, or codes for specific indus
tries, has resulted in the hiring
of these hundreds of unemployed
people long before the general
retail code has gone into effect,
explained Raymond j. Walter,
major" in charge Of the in
formation bureau of the local
Blue Eagle forces.
Fewer Unemployed
In stating that he knows of
dozens of cases in which men
and women out of a job for many
months have recently secured a
position. Walter asserted:
"The ranks of the unem-
pIOyed in Washington are
dwindling rapidly. I concur in
the hope of Federal statistical
authorities that the total num-
ber of new employees in local
retail trade will be more than
9,OOO."
The figure of 5000 reemployed
persons, it was pointed out, does
not include workers that may be
added in manufacturing, whole
sale or service organizations. A
check on the number of new
wage-earners here in these types
Of business, and in retail trade,
will be made shortly by the Wash
ington NRA group.
Survey Is Planned
According to Walter, confer
ence will be held with Thomas
P. Littlepage, general" in charge
of the local drive, to lay plans
for a thorough study of present
employment in the District. The
suggestion has been made that
business firms now displaying the
Blue Eagle could be asked to re-
port the number of additions to
their payrolls.
The unofficial estimate recent
ly made by Government experts
that 5000 people would be given
work in retail business here un-
der the general blanket code was
based on a % per cent gain in
the present number of such work
erS, about $4,000.

Stores Join Selling List of
Those Declaring Their Busi-
ness Is Being Helped

There's no question about it
business is improving this month.
Interviewed about the effect Of
the "Buy in September" cam
paign in Washington first the
druggists, then the florists, and
today the book sellers declare
that things are picking up. Here
is proof:
"In the past few days there
has been an increase in my
sales. Business has been bet
ter this past week than it was
the previous week."
So says G. David Pearlman,
owner of the Big Book Shop, In
pointing out that while book sales
usually rise after school opens,
school hasn't yet opened this
year.
Higher Costs to Be Met
Stressing the Importance Of
buying now, in order that the
augmented labor costs of indus
tries operating under the Blue
Eagle may be balanced, Pearlman
adds:
"If people don't buy in Sep
tember, some merchants / know
will be out of business by OctO-
ber."
Encouraging reports also come
from the book store of w. H.
Lowdermilk & Co. One of the pro-
prietors, John T. LoomiS, states
that recent sales. are ahead Of
those for a similar period last
year.
Campaign Praised.
Harry c., Felderstone, book
dealer, says he has lot of con-
fidence in the Buy in Septem'
ber" drive sponsored by The
Washington Times and other
Hearst newspapers, declaring
that, while business is not rush
ing, there is a noticeable improve
ment. He states:
"The Buy in September cam
paign will make things pick up.
It is very cOmmendable of Mr..
Hearst to carry it out, and I
greatly admire his spirit"
A boost in business both over
last year and over the past few
months is reported by William
Ballantyne, of the book store of
that name.
Other washington book dealers,
from the tiny secondhand shop to
the large and snowy rare book
store, also reveal recent gains in
sales, and believe that it is wise
to:
BUY in September and Buy
