RELIEF WORKERS
UNION IS REFUSED
D. C. Organized Labor De-
cIines to Sponsor New
ORGANIZATION.

Washington organized labor, as rep
resented by the Central Labor Union
refused last night to sponsor the
organiza ton Of workers now on relief
rolls in order to demand union wages
and hours for them.
A resolution calling for organization
of relief unions was presented by the
delegation Of N. r. A. Union, No. 81,
headed by John L. Donovan and Miss
Jessica Buck. When 1t was offered
Clyde NJ Mills, vice president of the
Central Union and member Of the
N. R. A. Labor Advisory Board, de-
clared the motion out Of order and a
heated debate followed. in which the
delegates appealed from his ruling.
The final vote was a. to 80 against
the resolution.
Mills held that the organization of
workers on relief should first be sane
toned by the American Federation Of
Labor and might interfere with the
freedom of existing international
unions.
When the appeal was made from
his ruling Robert E. Lester assumed
the chair and limited debate oR the
proposal. Miss Buck, Donovan, L. E.
Sullivan, representing the painters,
decorators and paperhangers, and
Louis Tuckman Of the carpenters
spoke in behalf Of the proposal.

WORRIED WIVES FIND
BROWN Is NO HELP
Their Husbands Will Have to Go
on Meeting Bad Women in
Course of Duty.

Police Chief Ernest w. Brown has
no solution for the problem of the
"broken-hearted wives" of young de-
tectives who complained that their
husbands ARE forced to get mixed
up with all kinds of ruthless and
bad women in their duties"
An anonymous letter was received
by Maj. Brown yesterday. It closely
paralleled a similar complaint sent
to Mayor La Guardia of New York.
Mayor La Guardia, like Maj. Brown,
was forced to admit there was very
little he could do about the Situa-
tion-so long as the husbands re-
manned good detectives.
A philanderer on either police force,
it was said, Is apt to find himself
separated from his official duties in
short order.
The wives asked that older men
who are immune to "the bitter in
f1uenceS which face our young men"
be assigned to duty which brings
them in contact with women of the
underworld.

APPROVAL IS GIVEN
BILL TO REGULATE
D. c. BEAUTY SHOPS
Four Other Measures Are
Voted by House SUBJ
committee.
STANDARDS ARE FIXED
FOR PARL LORS' OWNERS
Examination and License Fees
Would Be Required of All
Practitioners.

Despite the opposition of the Com
missioners, the Public Health Sub
committee of the House District Com
mittee ordered favorable report to-
day on a bill to protect the women
of Washington who patronize beauty
parlors and hairdressing establish
mentS.
Four other measures, minor in
character, also were approved. Three
would license Drs. Arthur B. Walker,
Ronald A. Cox and Park Chue Chan
to practice the healing art. The
other would empower the health
officer to authorize the opening of
graves and the disinterment and re-
interment of bodies in cases where
death had been caused by certain
contagious diseases.
The Commissioners had submitte2
an adverse report on the bill to regu-
late the so-called beauticianS and
hairdresSers on the ground exstinc
law gives them ample authority l.
control the operators and employees o.
all such establishments. The sub
committee, nevertheless, insisted In
creased powers as provided in tn
bill are necessary to public health an
safety.
The bill Is far-reaching in scope,
1t not only defines beauty culture, bu
sets up certain rigid standards whic.
must be met by the owners and prac-
titionerS in all beauty and hair
dressing parlors.
All operators and employees of
beauty shops or schools would be re-
quired to be registered by the HealtI
Department and pass an examination
as to fitness to practice. A health GER
tificate would be a prerequisite for the
issuance of a license. No apprentice
would be licensed without six months
training in a registered beauty school.
The registration fee would be SIS for
beauty shop owners, managers and
teachers, 81 for operators and mani
curists, 81 for students or apprentices
and $50 for schools Of beauty culture.
Annual renewal fees would be SIS for
shop owners and managers and school
instructors, 50 for operators and mani
curists and S25 for schools.
This bill, as well as the four other
measures favorably reported. will BE-
considered by the full District Com
mittee at its regular meeting tomor-
row at 10:30 am. If approved by the
full committee, they will be placed on
the House calendar in time for con-
sideration Monday, the next regular
District day,
In addition to reporting out the
five bills the subcommittee voted to
hold hearings on two other measures
referred to it for consideration. One
is designed to provide for prevention
of blindness in infancy by use OF
prophylactic against Inflammation OF
the eyes Of a newborn child. The
other would amend the act regulating
the practice of optometry by exempt
ing physicians and surgeons licensed
under the laws of the District for
the practice of medicine and surgery.
1t also would exclude persons selling
spectacles who do not attempt to adapt
them to the eyes and who do not
practice or profess the practice Of op-
| tometry.
The date for the hearings will be
fixed later.

terests and impulses of the growing
boy and provide an opportunity for
him to go with his friends, thus
offering a direct counter attraction
to the noisy, hot streets and the in
evitable street corner gang
ITO many underprivileged boys,
habitual cleanliness means a new
aspect on life. Properly supervised,
wholesome recreation is your best
crime preventive. 1t is, when cou-
pied with a swimming pool, your best
health safeguard and your best char
acter builder. When boy or girl
becomes adapted to the discipline Of
the swimming instructor or play
grounds instructor he or she has
something workable to fall back on
in the game of living. Children at
play are not problems IN disease,
juvenile delinquency or crime"

Urging support for the movement
to reopen the pool, Sheldon, an ex-
perienced worker with boys problems,
said it was "a legitimate call upon
the city and upon the heartstrings
OF all lovers of children-and who
is not?"'
Two Junior League girls, whose
names were withheld temporarily, vol
unteered to Miss M. Edith Coulson,
secretary OF the Central Neighbor-
hood Council, to serve as lfeguards
during the swimming periods for girls.
Both have passed the necessary tests.
Miss Coulson believed the Red Cross
