Resolution IL Adonted
A resolution adopted last night
reads:
only by economic strength and
public opinion can labor hope to main
tain its gains within the past two
years. The use of economic strength
may be necessary, but used as a last
resort.
TT becomes our duty as citizens to
protect those who are not affiliated
with the labor movement. Organized
labor can and will protect its interests
as in the past.
Labor must depend on its economic
strength either by striking or inf1u-
encing public opinion. This action
must not be partisan. We cannot re-
tire into our shell of union member
ship. The non-union man or woman
must be protected If we hope to pro-
tect ourselves"
The union yesterday established
facilities in its ONCE at 1901 Mather
Building, 9l6 G street, for receiving

by House.
FRONTAGE HELD OWNED
SOLELY BY GOVERNMENT
Commerce Committee Favors De-
velopment in Harmony With
Beautifcation.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Recognizing the proposed improve
ment of the north side of Washington
Channel as essentially a Federal prof.
ect, the Senate Commerce Committee,
under leadership of Senator Copeland
Of New York has eliminated from the
rivers and harbors bill the House pro-
vision that would have required the
District government to pay half the
cost.
Since the cost of rebuilding of the
water front is estimated at Sl.650.000
the House bill called on the District
for about S625.000 toward the project
The Senate hearings several weeks ago
developed that the north side channel
frontage is owned by the United States
Two of the piers would be for the
use of municipal activities, such as
the fire boat. but the remaining ia
cilities for private and commercial
use would bring to the Federal Gov
ernment rentals expected to amount
to $4,000 year.
Beautification Main Aim.
Testimony as to the Federal nature
of the plan was presented by John A.
Remon and John H. Small of the
Board of Trade. Small pointed out
that originally consideration was given
to building a modern water terminal,
but that the pending project repre-
sents a revision of the plans to har-
monte with the program for beauti-
fcation of the National Capital.
When the engineer Office for this
area reported on the project, 1t recon-
mended that the District pay only for
the piers it will use. or about 1899 600.
The Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors later proposed the Dis
trict pay half the entire cost, or s525.-
600. The chief of engineers decided
the apportionment of cost was a mat
ter for Congress to determine. The
House decided to follow the suggestion
of the Board of Engineers. The Senate
bill makes it entirely a Federal ex-
pendlture. After the bill passes the
Senate the cost will be settled finally
in conference.
s325,0O0 for Dredging.
The bill contains a separate 1925. 600
project for dredging the channel Of
town channels, but there was no issue
as to division of cost of this work.
As it came from the House earlier in
the session, the omnibus rivers and
harbors bill authorized 204 projects,
the total cost Of which is estimated
at s272 900 900. The War Depart
ment. however. already has received
P. w. A. allotments of s58000.000
toward construction of "a of the prof.
ects. 1t also is within the discretion
sry power of the President to allocate
part of the work-relief fund for river
and harbor Improvements ANY prof.
ects that do not receive emergency
work-relief allotments would have to
wait for regular river and harbor ap-
propriations later, since the pending
bill is confined to an authorization.
The Senate committee added about 35
authorizations to the House bill. but
some of these are projects for which
P. w. A. funds have been set aside.

spect to the committees insistence

timony given the House Committee
in its investigation Of lobbying at the
War Department.
This testimony led to the trial be-
fore military court of Col Williams.
