VOTE ON STRIKE
TRUCE DUE BY
CARPENTERS
Return to Work Held Unlikely;
Other Local Labor Rows
Continue Unabated

Union carpenters in Washing

vote today whether to return to
work or continue their holdout.
Proposals of $1.25 an hour and
a 32-hour week will be voted on
by the carpenters at their head
quarters in Carpenters Hall, 1000
block Tenth st. N. w. The ballot
box will be opened late today.
4O-HOur Week Refused
The carpenters struck for a
30-hour week and $1.3712 an hour.
Agreements between contractors
and the wage committee OF the
carpenters council for $1.25 an
hour and a 40-hour week were
voted down by the carpenters IN
general assembly last week.
Observers pointed out that the
possibility Of an amicable terml-

strike is remote.
Meanwhile, strikes in other
sectors of the trades here con

The jurisdictional dispute be-

on the 1. c. c. and Labor De

into court yesterday when the
Operative PlaSterers Union sought
an injunction against the Brick

With the juriSdictional dispute

as a result.

Alexandria Relief
Shows Decrease

Rejecting improved employ

in April.
Included in the number are 1853

D. c. AIDES SEEK
HOURS RULING

Employees of the District gov
eminent who are paid on a per
diem basis today are laying plans
to obtain a ruling from Comp
troller General J. R. McCarl on
the question of whether the Sat
urday half-holiday and 4O-hour
week provisions of the independ-
ent Offices Supply Bill apply to
them.
The workers charge that they
are often forced to labor eight
hours on Saturdays, four hours
more than the limit under the
law for Federal employees, with
out being paid for overtime or be-
ing given double time off" as in
the case of the Federal workers.
Original action in the matter
came from the District of Colum-
bia Employees Lodge, No. 81, of
the American Federation of Gov
eminent Employees, which COM
planned to the national president,
E. Claude Babcock.
Ruling Sought
Upon investigation, Mr.. Babcock
asserted that the District authori-
ties we're of the opinion that the
40-hour week provisions apply
only to employees paid from emer-
gency funds of the Federal Gov
eminent. The only method of
settling the controversy, it was
said, is a ruling from the Comp
troller General.

TAXI FIRM ENDS
INSURANCE To
GUT COSTS
Keech Sees Action as Proof
Of Need of Liability
Legislation

The City Cab Company today
filed with the Public Utilities
Commission a request to operate
as the City Cab Association, Inc.
which would permit the organi
cation to operate without cor.
porate liability insurance.
Officials of the cab company
told Public Utility Commissioners
they found it impossible to com
pete with other cab concerns
which were not paying for ex
pensive liability insurance.
New Firm to Run Cabs
The City Cab Corporation, how.
ever, will continue in existence,
it is understood, but the opera.
ton of the cabs themselves will
be in the hands Of the proposed
new association.
Members of the commission look
upon this action as definite proof
of a need for congressional actor
requiring compulsory liability in
surance for taxicab owners or cor
porations for the protection OF
passengers.
Keech Urges Action
Commissioned Keech explained
the ublic Utility view of the mat
ter today. He said:
'"The commission has had the
backing of the District Commits
sioners and all civic assOcia-
tionS in pressing for this COM
puIsOry insurance for taxi driv-
ers. The bill passed the Senate
but was defeated in the House,
chiefly because of the argument
of Rep. Patman, of Texas, who
said that companies are now
paying their accident claims and
that compulsory liability insur-
ance would mean that taxi own
erS would have to pay more in
premiums than they now pay in
claims; he argued that it would
also necessitate a higher cab
fare.
But, on the other hand,
many taxi passengers who have
suffered accidents, or others
who have suffered property
damage, ETC., have found that
many cab owners resort to all
sorts of Subterfuge. Many cab
drivers are financially irrespOn-
Sible: and we believe there is
great need for cOmpulOry liabil-
ity insurance to protect the
travelling public,

JAIL INCREASE
ALARMING

Jail commitments in the Dis

rate, Thomas M. Rives, superin-

ported to Elwood Street, Director
of Public Welfare, today.
From July /, 1888, to May 81,
this year, 1852 persons were
committed to the Jail. Mr.. RiveS
reported. He expects that by the
end of the fiscal year, June 80,
this figure will have risen to
$500.
This will be an increase of
more than 1000 over figures of
the last fiscal year, when 1921
prisoners were received.

RELIEF $4,000
SHORT HERE
FOR JUNE
Commissioner Allen Awaiting
Detailed Estimate to Be
Submitted to Hopkins

District relief officials have
decided that the Federal allot-
ment of $4,000 for June is not
enough.
Unless about $4,000 additional
is raised, the program will have
to altered materially somewhere
along the line; and the prob
ability is that work-relief will be
cut to the bone, it was learned
at the District Building today.
Allen Awaits Estimate
Commissioner Allen, acting as
state administrator has asked
relief officials to give him the
closest possible estimate of what
can be done with the reduced
Federal grant. Pending receipt
OF that information Mr.. Allen
has not forwarded any request to
the office of Harry Hopkins, Fed.
eral Relief Administrator, but is
is expected that he will do so
this week.
One of the first acts of the
new relief administration, headed
by Elwood Street, director of Pub
lie Welfare, and Miss Mary Alice
Hill, new relief superintendent,
was to cut the request for Fed.
eral funds to $725,000; but the
Federal officials after a rather
stormy session with District Of
ficials cut that figure to $71O 900
to include transient relief and
certain PWA projects which had
not been included in the Districts
estimate.
May Balance Possible
When May accounts are audit
ed, District officials say. there
may be a balance which will be
deducted from the supplemental
request to the Federal Relief AID.
ministration.
Employees and supervisors Of
all public welfare institutions
and the relief unit will convene
in a mass meeting to be held in
the auditorium of the Depart
ment of Commerce Building to-
night. Elwood Street, Director
of Public Welfare will preside
and District Commissioners will
address the gathering. Problems
of the reduced budget may have
part in the discussion.

DISARMAMENT conferences
- have been SO Intellectual they
have become a joke. It's quite
evident the men never will be able
to agree. I propose, therefore,
that this important business be
delegated to women, who, when
given sufficient authority, always
get things done.
Lady Simon, wife of the Eng
liSh statesman, insists women
would scrap all armies and navies
in week if they had the power.
And why shouldn't they have the
pOWer-Or at least more of it than
they now possess? They bear the
men who are killed in war; they
make equal sacrifices to keep the
madness going; and they are
forced to carry the industrial load
while the men are in the field.
Yet in any real sense of the
term, they are never consulted
about the making of war. Few
of them have any Say-so and eS-
pecially in those comic opera
countries where the spark now
shoulders which threatens to ig-
mite and destroy civilization itself.
To be sure, some men will tell
you that we enjoy the eXcitementS
of conflict as much as they. When
that statement is not point
blank lie, however, it is a gross
exaggeration. 1t is true that many
women both here and abroad en-
joyed the freedom the World war
brought them, but defy any man
to prove by story or history that
we have ever had aught but sor-
row, misery, and woe out of any.
If we can be said to enjoy such
disasters, then we enjoy war.
1 grant you, too, that we lend
our energies to the struggle after
mobilization beginS-we lend them
Just as most men do-because we
are compelled. But those of us
who think at all are opposed to
wars.
Women have fund of common
sense which rebels at destruction.
And we are more concerned with
human life. We should be, be-
cause we produce it. It's our
main business and naturally we
do not like to see that which we
create wasted.
It is to the eternal glory of our
sex that the only woman repre-
sentative in the United States
congress, jeanette Rankin, voted
against our entry into the Euro
pean war in 1917. How they
laughed at her! And yet how
right she was, all the brilliant and
broke statesmen now can see.
And remember this: That vote
of Miss Rankins is still the vote
of American womanhood on war.
