SURVEY 0KAYS
HOMES HERE

Washington is a city of home
owners.
Not only that, but the residen
tial structures here occupied by
their owners are in better condi
tion and have more improvements
than quarters occupied by tenants
These facts were revealed today
by the Federal Housing Admins
tration, and are a result of tabula
ton of the real property inventory
conducted in the Capital by the
former Civil Works Administration
in 1884.
The report discloses:
"Of the 1858 residential
structures in the city, 46,41O or
52.9 per cent are occupied by
their owners. The physical con-
ditiOn of the Owner-Occupied
units is revealed as being of a
higher grade than tenant-Occu-
pied structures. Seventy-One and
three-tenths per cent of the
Owner-Occupied dwelling units
are in good condition, while 57.S
per cent of the tenant units are
in good condition"
Nearly 10 per cent of the owner
occupied dwellings among single
family homes and row houses
range between $4,000 and $4,000
in value. twenty-five per cent are
between $4,000 and $7,999; % per
cent between $4,000 and 1899 and
the rest between $4,000 and

WAR PEAK
Washington Workers
Fall Short Only
657in June

Government employees in Wash
ington in June came within 657
or the total here during the World
War according to figures issued
by the Civil Service Commission
today.
The statement which included all
Government employees outside the
legislative, judicial and military
branches of the Government, re-
vealed 1T, ,103 workers in Washing
ton as of June 80. On November
II, 1918, there were 117,760. OF
the June total, 85,895 were en-
ployed in regular or "old line"
agencies of the service. There
were 12,500 employed in emer-
gency agencies and 18,708 enrolled
with units administering relief.
The total in Government service
including field employees was 824,-
259 in June, a gain of 6,400 over
May, and included all temporary
appointments. The Civil Service
Commission attributed the in,
crease to the usual seasonal addi-
tionS to the engineer and quarter
master corps of the War Depart
ment and in the National Park
Service of the Department Of In
terror outside of the District Of
Columbia.
Reductions were heaviest in the
Home Owners Loan Corporation,
which has been cutting personnel
for the past six months, and in
the Veterans Administration.
which Is now winding up its work
on payment of the soldiers bonus.
Regular agencies throughout the
country showed a gain Of approx
imately $500 during the month,
but the So-called emergency agen-
cies dropped more than 100. Re
lief agencies also gained to the
extent of 2,279. The gross pay
roll for the civil executive branch
of the Government during June
totaled $l29, ,487, ,167.

CHAIN BRIDGE
WILL HAVE
3LANES
Original 2-Lane Plans
Discarded by
Engineer

Recalling a promise made to
Congress that the new Chain
Bridge will be constructed to pro-
vide three lanes of traffic, Col.
Dan I. Sultan, engineer commits
sioner, today announced he will
keep my pledge" and discard plans
for building a two:lane bridge.
Critics of the engineer depart
ment's proposal for a two-lane
bridge met with Col. Sultan and
Director of Highways Herbert c..
WhitehurSt yesterday. At the end
of the conference, the critics
agreed that the two-lane plan as
proposed by the department would
serve best.
Critics Include D. C. Residents
The critics included residents
of nearby Virginia and the Dis
trict. Explaining the plan of the
engineering department, Captain
Whitehurst said it was proposed
to construct a bridge 30 feet
wide which would comfortably

with a pedestrian walk overhang-
ing the bridge.
He said the structure will be
raised eight feet on the Virginia
approach and three feet on the
District side. It will be built on
the piers Of the present struc-
ture.
Four Lanes Sought
The critics had urged four
lane bridge, but Captain White
hurst answered that the piers
will not permit construction Of
a bridge wide enough to provide
four lanes of traffic.
The meeting broke up with the
District officials still sticking to
their plan for a two-lane bridge.
The bridge will not be started
until March and will cost
$350,00O.

Says:

I imagine Jim Farley bIushed
to the roots of his neck when the
Post Office Departments annual
report showed a deficit of $1O,.
100000, the first to occur since
he came into office. Just think,
it took James three years to get
his departments expenditures
up to the New Deal standard.
You know, / wouldn't be sur
priSed if the Postmaster General
let this deficit come to light so
he could tell the voters cOndi-
tiOnS have improved so much
that people have stopped writing
home for money.
At that, / guess it was to be
expected with election coming
on. After all, it takes more
than a few little stamps to de-
liver the whole Democratic party
back to Washington.
Apparently, it's getting to the
point where the only ones who
can make any money handling
correspondence, these days, are
the blackmailerS.

SUSPENSION

Row Over Picketinq
and Firing Carried
To D. c. Court

The Department of Justice
Lodge, of the American Federation
of Government Employees, in
United States District Court here
today filed suit to enjoin the
national office of the organization
from SuSpending it.
The lodge, which has a member.
ship of more than 100 employees,
took action after it was announced
this week by the A. F.. G. E. execu-
tive council that the lodge would
be suspended until the national
convention, September IA, in De-
troit, because of activities that
have embarrassed" the Govern
ment service.
PicketerS DISCHARGED
The activities, according to the
executive council, consisted of
picketing the Department of JUS
tice in protest against the dis
charge of eight union members,
who, Director J. Edgar Hoover, Of
the Bureau of Investigation,
charged were inefficient, but the
lodge claims they were fired for
union activity.
The discharges took place early
in July following protests by the
Justice union against overtime
in the fingerprint division of the
Bureau of Investigation. Several
of the discharged workers were
active on the protesting commit
tee which complained to Director
Hoover, the lodge charged today,
and were asked to resign shortly
after the protest.
After the discharges the union
filed brief with ATTORNEY Gen.
eral Cummings requesting a re-
view of the case, which was de-
MED. Shortly thereafter members
blockaded doors of the Justice
Department and handed protest
ing bulletins to workers as they
arrived and departed from the
office, an action forbidden by
the K.F.G.E. constitution in an
amendment adopted in 1884.

Last Friday the executive coun.
Gil announced the entire lodge
would be suspended pending an
appeal at the next convention, de-
claring that radical elements had
gained control of the union and
had failed to avoid embarrassing
