W.P.A. GROUP HITS
JUST|CEPAY RATE
800 Say Conditions Unfair
in Attorney General Sur.
vey Project.

A Grievance Committee Of the
nearly 300 w: P. A. workers employed
on q PROJECT known as the Attorney
Generals survey, lodged complaints at
headquarters again yesterday against
working conditions and what they said
was the refusal of the Justice Depart
ment to pay them at prevailing wage
rates.
Workers charged that the Justice
Department is the only Federal agency
in Washington which is discriminat-
ing against relief workers in the mat
ter of hours and wages. They are re-
quired to work 140 hours a month to
earn from SIS up to about $40, it was
asserted, whereas the hours should be
reduced to about 80 a month to con-
form with those in other departments
for similar work.
This is explained at the Justice De.
partment, 1t was said, as due to diff
ferent financial budget. Because il
had not expended Its entire 1885
budget for such work, the department

The Grievance Committee, whose
names were withheld because of fear,
of intimidation" complained also
about what it said was the rigid dis.
cipline and a system of surveillance
to which workers are subjected.
w. P. A. officials agreed that there
was something to the complaints,
but said nothing further.
The workers on the Attorney Gen.
erals survey, officials claimed, wer.
carefully selected. The Justice De.
partment not only f1ngerprintec
them but subjected their records to
rigid scrutiny.
Their complaints were received BY
Allan Forsberg, assistant director Of
labor relations at the w. P. A., wht
could do no more than explain ths
inability of headquarters to cope with
the situation in the Justice Depart.
ment.

Should the horses be provided. six
riding policemen next Summer will be
assigned to duty in the downtown
district to aid trafIic officers and foot
patrolmen in controlling crowds at
parades and other functions.
Trained Horses Necessary.
Much depends on the type Of horse
selected for this duty. Maj. Brown
emphasized, pointing out that the ami
mails cannot be Of a nervous tenn
perament; must be durable, Of gentle
disposition and well trained.
Another factor in the elimination
of the old mounted force was the sys-
tenn Of keeping the animals. Each Of
the so mounted officers owned his own
mount and was allowed S48 o month
to feed and keep it. with the result
that they unconsciously tended to
spare the animals whenever possible.
Moreover, the older and more corpu-
dent officers who were not as able to
walk a beat as some, gravitated to-
ward the mounted service, where young
! and agile officers we're needed.
Under the new system, the riders
would be as carefully chosen as their
mounts, Maj. Brown added.
The cost OF six horses is estimated
by the police chief at $500, with
the following accessories: Shoes, $36
. year, for six, $216; IL blankets,
$3.50 each. or $50: board at $35 a
month or $42o . year, for six, $500

FEDERATION JOINS
FIGHT ON AbATTO|R
IN STRONG REPORT:
RuhIand Proposal for Health
Centers Backed by Citi-
zens' Groups.
$3.50, 900 SUM ASKED
TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION
Erection Of Slaughter House
Would Hurt Northeast Sec
ton, Speaker Declares.

After protracted debate, the Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Associations last
night threw its support to Govern
'ment and civic forces which are
fighting the proposed establishment
of a new and enlarged abattoir IN
Northeast Washington by the Adolf
Gobel, Inc.
Opposition to erection of the plant
was adopted on a strongly-worded
report laid before the federation by
DR.. Charles B. Campbell, chairman
Of the Public Health Committee.
In another action, the body ap-
proved the proposal Of Health Ofhcer
George c. Rutland for establishment
of a system Of health centers for the
diagnosis and treatment Of con-
tagious diseases, and urged the pro-
vision of $250,000 in the budget fol
the next fiscal year for construction OF
one such building.
The District Commissioners recently
refused to issue a permit for the
abattoir, after extended consideration
and the issue now Is before District
Court.
Heated Debate Develops.
Heated debate developed over the
motion OF DR.. Campbell when q fight
for support for the project, or fol
delay in action by the federation
was raised by A. D. Calvert, delegate
from the Lincoln Park Association.
BY a substantial margin of votes
the federation declared finally tht
erection of the proposed plant would
create "a nuisance to the city, 9
blight on property values in the vi
cinity of the site and would consti-
tute q backward step to the city plan.
The report insisted the Nationa,
Capital should be free of large manu-
featuring plants with their unsightli.
ness and nuisance due to their oper-
ation"
'"The Federal and District govern
ments have expended in East Wash
tngton millions of dollars to beautify
and improve the whole general Sec
tion near the proposed plant" the
statement added Some of the i'm
provements are an enlarged Gallinger
Hospital, public housing project
TO accommodate 400 families, Eastern
High School and other public build
1ngs, and there are plans for a park
and parkway from Civil War forts near
this slaughter house.
Improvements Cited.
"Also, improvement of Anacostia
River, with a system of lakes and
lagoons, q stadium for major athletic
events, q new bridge over Anacostia
River and a bridge in line with East
Capitol street are contemplated"
There was long debate also over the
committee report urging support for
the health center program of DR.
Ruhland. Harry N. Stull, federation
vice president. won approval of an
amendment limiting the support for
appropriations to $250,00O for develop
ment Of but one health center build
Ing during the next fiscal year. This
limitation was based on references to
the Districts financial problem.
The final action was taken on a
revision Of the report on motion by
David Babp, federation secretary.
