MISS PERKINS CALLS
CHILD CONFERENCE
Health Recovery Campaign Will
Be Outlined Here on
October 6.
BY the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Estimating one-fifth Of Americas
child population is undernourished, Sec
retary of Labor Perkins has called a
national Child health recovery confer
ence" for October under auspices of
the Children's Bureau.
The theme Of the meeting will be the
regaining for the children Of the pounds
they have lost as result OF hard
times"
Its method will be to launch a Ma
tion-wide campaign to find the sore
spots" where child malnutrition exists;
to conduct physical examinations of the
undernourished groups, and to apply
remedies.
Preliminary planning for the move
ment. which must be a matter OF
months Of continuous effort, was done
at meeting held here recently. At
tending it were many leaders in public
health, child welfare and relief fields.
Secretary Perkins attributed the
widespread malnutrition to inadequate
relief and improper utilization OF the
wage earners' money.
She said no exact figures on the
number were possible, due to lack Of a
universal method of gathering data,
but it was probably safe to estimate
somewhere in the neighborhood OF one
fifth"
Data gathered by the Children's Bu-
reau showed that % out OF 80 State
health officers listed the nutritional
needs of children as outstanding above
all other depression demands.

RELEASE Of FUNDS
FOR BRIDGE PENDS
Budget Director Expected to
Reach Decision Within
a Few Days.

With the new design for the Calvert
Street Bridge approved by the Fine
Arts Commission, a decision is likely to
be reached by Budget Director Douglas
within a day or two on the request OF
the District Commissioners for release
OF the S575, 900 of local gas tax money
to start the structure.
In some quarters it was believed the
question of whether the funds will be
made available at this time may be
settled by tomorrow. Budget Director
Douglas himself indicated Monday he
hoped to reach conclusion within a
few days on the general question OF
the use of the S1,500,000 OF gas tax
money and the $502,0 900 Of water fund
revenues, which Congress authorized.
Mr.. Douglas.
The Calvert Street Bridge item rep
resents only about one-third Of the gas
tax money which could be spent on
work-creating projects at this time II
the budget director gives permission.
Whether the decision expected from
the budget Office in the next few days
will deal with the gas tax and water
funds as a whole, or only with the CAL
vert Street Bridge project has not been
made clear.
The Calvert Street Bridge had to be
redesigned after the fine arts group de-
cided earlier in the Summer in favor
of a multiple-arch masonry type OF
structure in preference to the single
span steel arch previously contemplated
by the Commissioners.
The Fine Arts Commission has just
approved the general design as re-
drawn, and steps will now be taken to
obtain detailed specifications to go
with the new design all that remains
to clear the way for replacement Of
the old bridge. the safety of which was
questioned during the Senate appro-
priation hearings last Spring, is to OBJ
tain release of the funds.

Work on Labor-I. c. c. Build
ing to Be Halted Unless
Row Is Settled.
CONTRACTORS DECLARE
COMPANY is NEUTRAL
Decide to Discontinue Operations
Until They Can Go Ahead
Unimpeded.

Work Of completing the Labor Inter
state Commerce Commission Building
project will We stopped entirely Friday
and at least 1000 employees in 19 trades
laid off unless carpenters and steel
workers on the job settle their jurisdic-
tional dispute by that time.
This decision was arrived at yester-
day by the general contractors, James
Stewart & Co., Inc, after arbitration
efforts had failed. Seventyflve car
penters went on strike September l in
protest against installation Of radiator
Enclosures by steel workers.
We've done all we can to settle this
thing" said Edward A. Burnap, con-
struction superintendent. today
We've referred the matter to the De-
partment Of Labor and to the American
Federation of Labor, but still the dead
lock continues.
Installation Held Vital.
"The carpenters have walked out, and
the job has been slowed down. The in
stallation of the radiator Enclosures Is
vital to the progress Of the work. Plas-
terers, bricklayers, electricians. steam
filters, tile and marble settlers and work.
men of many other trades cannot &c
ahead with their jobs until the metal
boxes which house the radiators are put
in under the window sills.
"Our company is neutral. Our only
interest is to see this dispute settled
whatever trade gets the work. If the
disputants fail to come to an agree
ment by Friday morning we're going tc
pay of all the workmen and shut down
the job until We can go ahead un'
impeded.
Schedule Slowed Up.
For months now this dispute ha.
been like a slow paralysis creeping ovel
the Job. We expected to get the two
connecting buildings completed by Feb.
ruary, but our schedule has been thrown
behind. Under normal conditions, with
the men working together. four more
months should complete the Job"
The roof over the buildings and theil
connecting wing IS only partially com.
pleted, but Mr. Burnap said the incom.
pleted sections are over parts CT thu
buildings where the interior work ha.
not progressed far enough to be dam
aged by the elements.
Mr.. Burnap said he could not predict
when the work would be resumed i.

in Funds and Facilities
to Help Needy.
RELIEF BUREAU TO OPEN
TWO BRANCHES MONDAY
Increase in Expenditures of 27.4
Per Cent in August Is
Reported.

Explaining why Washington's relief
rosters and relief expenditures have
risen abnormally since July, Harry L.
Hopkins, Federal relief director, said to-
day this was due to "Washington's get
ting enough money to properly carry on
its relief work.
He pointed out that before July
Washington had not received enough
money for this work to put its relief
organization on status comparable to
other cities.
He said, however, he was not calling
the relief work in Washington "ade-
quate," declaring adequate relief is
something that does not exist at pres
ent.
Hopkins statement was followed 5y
an announcement from the District
Emergency Relief Bureau that its two
branch offices, being established at the
instance of the Federal Relief Admin
lstration, will be open next Monday.
Five Branches Planned.
Paul Kirby. assistant director of the
Board of Public Welfare, announced
today that one of the branch stations
would be located at 2403 Pennsylvania
avenue, and a second would be at 463
Indiana avenue. Three other branch
stations are to be opened soon in the
Northeast, Southwest and Far North
west sections
The branch stations will be operated
by agents of the Emergency Relief b.
reau who have been handling cases in
the various sections. Persons on the
relief rolls or those applying for RELIEF
are to go to the station nearest their
residence.
Hopkins issued figures showing there
were on the relief rolls of the Capital
in July 10,878 families and single resi-
dent persons, while in August this
figure rose to 1886 an increase of 1911
per cent. The expenditures for the
same two months. he said, rose from
s218,913 to S278,867, an increase of 27.4
per cent
Other Figures Revealed.
In issuing the Washington figures,
along with the figures of 1O1 other
| cities, representing approximately SIS per
cent Of the city dwelling population Of
the country. Mr.. Hopkins pointed out
that the trend of urban UNEMPLOYED
showed decline as to the number Of
families and single persons receiving
aid from public funds, but that tha
cost Of relief increased The decline in
persons receiving relief was 90, while
the cost increased by per cent.
He said that the general improves
| ment in business and industrial condi-
tions probably was the cause of the
reduction in relief roles and that this
| increased cost of relief involved several
| factors, including the raising of stand-
aros and advances In retail prices.
