REQUESTS
$265,0)O IN RELIEF
Money to Be Used to Meet
Pay Roll of Civil Works
Service Employees.

To carry forward the Districts relief
and employment program for service"
women until Congress can consider ad-
dltional appropriations, the District
Commissioners today asked the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration for a
grant of S265, ,Ooo
The money will be used for meeting
the pay roll of the Civil Works Service
employees who are paid out of emer-
gency relief funds of the District, in
keeping with Federal rules.
District officials said today they have
remaining only approximately 5000 900
OF their emergency relief funds, which
have been provided by the Federal Gov
ernment
More than $4,000 men and women
have been given employment here since
last month under the civil works pro-
gram, their pay roll being met out of
funds provided by the Public Works Ad-
ministration for the national civil works
program.
Women working in sewing, canning
ard nursing centers, however, are not
eligible for C. w. A. assignments and
are classified as Civil Works Service en-
ployes. Federal authorities have prom
ised to provide for the emergency relief
needs of the District until Congress can
reconsider the problem here.
Congress appropriated for relief dur
ing the current fiscal year $1,000, 900.
Early In October the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration granted the Dis
tr1ct S253, ,061, or one-third Of the amount
of public funds expended here for relief
during July, August and September.

mitted to Commissioner George E.
Allen her resignation as supervisor of
work projects for women under the
Emergency Relief Bureau of the Dis

women's work planning and made an
issue of the matter Monday.

tion will be accepted.

Forecasts Price Advance.

Taking up discussion of living costs.
the merchant forecast a general ad-
vance in the Spring when requirements
would be necessary.
He declared that there is not one ar
ticle in a thousand" where the replace
ment cost will not run from Is to 40 per
cent above the present level, and that in
some cases. this advance will 60 to 100
per cent.
Mr.. King explained that merchants
had anticipated price advances under
the recovery program and had bought
heavily before they went into effect.
Consequently, he said, buyers have not
felt costs the way they will later. and
to that extent, the Labor Department
survey cannot show the correct picture
This point should be emphasized in the
pay campaign, he said. The speaker
also pledged the chamber to continue
10 DO the very best we can to help you
regain salaries which were not too much
at any time"
SenatortMcC Carran, who recalled with
satisfaction that he was lone of the
Wllliul l3" who voted against the
economy act, declared that "the Gov
ernment has exacted its pound of f1esh,
and added there is no essential neces-
Slty Tor starving the employees of Amer
lea any longer"
He declared his belief that you are
going to get results
Criticizes Government,
Representative Randolph criticized
the paradoXical attitude of the Govern
ment in cutting its own employees and
urging private industry to raise wages.
He asserted that food prices have ad-
vanced 18 per cent here since April, and
said that of the 81 cities used by the
Department of Labor in studying Iiv-
ing costs, local figures are highest.
G.. K. Brobeck. national legislative
chairman, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
said his organization is supporting the
Federal workers, and urged political
reprisals against members of Congress
who stand in opposition
This brought an apparent dissent
from DR.. John j, O'Grady, director
Of Catholic Charities, the next speaker,
who declared he is with the erp.o.'cc3

into view and took off for the Virginia
shore. Wilmer and the State troopers
then joined the pursuit.
Three boats escaped, the others being
overtaken one by one. In many cases
handto-hand struggles ensued as Off
GERS boarded the pirate craft and
overpowered the oystermen as they
made for the cabin. All dredges, APP
parently had been thrown overheard
by the time police captured the boats.
AS the sun sank, the captured "pi-
rates." Subdued at last and peaceful,
marched without murmur to the waiting
police cars and were driven to Jail.
They are charged with illegal
dredging-a grand jury offense-and
will have to wait until the April term of
Circuit Court for trial. Many are also
charged with violating the Federal laws
requiring registration of all boats.
Although the Kent co-operated yes
terday, Charles countians complained
that they have received no cooperation
from the State authorities in enforcing
the anti-dredging laws. 1t was said at
La Plata that even the longing laws
are not enforced any more-barely a
score of licenses being issued this year
as compared with hundreds in the past.
Deputy Sheriff Wilmer used to be an
oyster inspector, but was not reappointed
because State officials are not in SYM
pathy with his enforcement efforts, his
friends say.
Dredging in defiance of the law is a
common occurrence in the Popes Greek
section of the river, which had been
legally closed to dredging for 90 years.
Only last week Wilmer found himself
surrounded by 80 dredging boats off
PopeS Greek and had the wiring on his
boat torn off before help arrived.

CALL IS SOUNDED
Civic and Organization Lead
ers Promise Aid at Mass
Meeting.

A call for restoration of the Federal
pay scale was sounded last night by
representatives of various interests at
mass meeting under the auspices of
the American Federation of Govern
ment Employees which brought several
hundred persons to Central High School
auditorium.
Assistance in the campaign for re-
moval of the Is per cent cut was
voiced by two members of Congress
Senator McCarran of Nevada and Rep
resentative Randolph of West Virginia
both Democrats, as well as in behalf of
labor. civic, veteran and religious
groups.
One speaker, Harry King, former
president of the Chamber of Commerce
also emphasized that the current cost
of-living study being made by the
Labor Department as a basis for pos
sible modification of the pay cut, will
not truly reflect conditions, as it is
based on merchandise contracted for
before the price rise got under way.
The meeting was arranged by the
District department of the Federation
of Government Employees, headed by
Michael D. Schaefer, who presided and
introduced the speakers.
Would Prevent Re-enactment.
E. Claude Babcock, national presi-
dent, the first speaker, recalled that
the current economy legislation ex-
pires July l and said the task before
the employees is to prevent re-enactment
Pointing to the various organizations
joining in the meeting, Babcock
stressed that support from every pos
sible quarter is necessary for success OF
this movement
IF the employees of the United States
fail to make their cause known, they are
cutting their own throats," he said.
James G.. Yaden, president Of the
Federation of Citizens Association, who
is chief of the examining division of the
Civil Service Commission, said that the
federation, with but one dissenting vote
had favored pay restoration, and was
ready to carry on the fight.
He urged the use of cold logic, facts
and Statistics" so that we may con-
vince those in authority of the justice
of our cause
