Urges Fight On Fascism
Today's session provided an op-
portunity for discussion of labor
troubles all over the world, with
Spencer Miller, Jr., Of New York,
director of the workers education
bureau of America, outlining the
situation in Spain.
Miller pictured Spain as an ex-
ample and warned against a world
trend toward military dictator
ships. He said that there was
grave danger of a ring Of fascist
countries surrounding France
pulling all of Europe into the
fascist vortex.
Miller asked that labor do its
part in fighting fasciSm. He said
fascism struck first at the trade
union movement, and declared the
trade union was the bulwark OF
democracy all over the world.
Green Answers Howard
This report shared attention
here today with the reply Of
President William Green of the
A. F. of L. to Charles P. Howard
of the typographical union, who
is secretary of the rebellious and
suspended Committee for Indus
trial Organization headed by John
Lewis, but whose union is not it.
self o member of the Lewis fac
ton.
Recently, Howard denounced
the position of the A. F. of L. in
extending an invitation to the
Lewis faction to abandon their
industrial union rebellion, come
back into the A. F. Of L. and fight
out their differences. Replying
to him today, Green reminded the
Typographical Union head that he
was still a member OF the A. F.
of L. and that he should be here
attending the federation's annual
convention. Green wired Howard:
"May 1 remind you that the
International TypOgr ap hical
Union has not been suspended
from affiliatiOn with the A. F.
of L. Why, therefore, are you
not here at Tampa, along with
your cO-delegates speaking for
and representing your interna-
tional uniOn?"

TOWNSEND PROBE
PLANS PREPARED
Special House Committee
Acts to Start Public
Hearings Soon.

Iayins plans for opening public
hearings on their investigation into
the Townsend and other old-age pen
sion plans, the special House Com
mittee met today in executive session.
No date was set for starting the hear
ings. but this decision is expected to
be made at another closed session Of
the committee tomorrow morning.
Prediction that the investigation
will rebound to the advantage Of
the TownsenditeS was made yester-
day by Representative McGroarty.
Democrat, of California. Representa-
tive McGroarty introduced the House
bill embracing the Townsend program.
Expressing the hope the commit
tee will hurry up and finish this
thing" McGroarty continued:
When they do, it will be just like
all other investigations and the net
result will be nothing except some
good publicity for the Townsend move
ment, which should strengthen it
throughout the country"
A reaction from the legal tangle
now involving the Senate Committee
investigating lobbying was seen in a
warning issued to the Townsend inves-
tigators by Representative Smith,
Democrat, Of Washington, who cau-
toned the committee to remember
that Townsend sympathizers are ex-
ercising their rights in petitioning
Congress and their actions should be
free from unconstitutional oppression
by the committee.
Representative Bell, Democrat, of
Missouri is chairman of the investi-
eating group.

VERSE SPEAKING CHOIR
TO BE ORGANIZED HERE
Aims to Gain Vocal Rhythm,
Tonal Beauty Through
Group Work.

PLANs for the formation of Wash
ington's first verse speaking
choir were discussed last night by
Elinor Cox Karsten at a meeting of
the Pierce Hall Players.
Verse speaking, or choral reading, Is
an attempt to interpret poetry in
group reading in much the same man
ner that glee club interprets vocal
music. Its aim is to develop vocal
rhythm. to acquire tonal beauty, and
to develop instincts for group work.
The modern movement Of choral
reading, based on the Greek choruses
Of old, was first organized in England
by John Masefeld and Marjorie
Gullan. Miss Gullan had worked with
the Orpheus Choir at Glasgow, and
through that group Masefield became
interested in the possibilities Of mass
speaking and organized choral read
ing group at oxford.
AS a contrast to the English and
American choral reading groups.
Elizabeth Shepherd spoke of the Scan
dinavian choirs, which are primarily
used as a medium for propaganda.

Be Sought.

If and when the District receives
SUFFICIENT funds from Congress, all en-
ployes will be placed on the schedule
of standard hours approved by the
Civil Service Commission for Govern
ment employees.
That will mean that the Fire De-
partment, now operating On a two

toons of eight hours each. The full
week will be from 40 to A hours. At
present firemen work from 10 to "a
hours per week, depending on whether
they are on day or night duty.
The same thing applies to nurses
and attendants in the several hospitals
under the Board of Public Welfare and
the guards at penal institutions. The
new hours would set up the 3S-hour
week for them.

tor, who represented the District
in making the study of hours and rec
commended Standardization through
out the Government and District de-
partments, explained. however. that
no instructions to adopt the shorter
hours have been sent to department
heads.
IF they wish to take advantage Of
the Civil Service Commission rec
ommendation." he said, they have
a perfect right to ask for the addition
al money needed to carry out the
new schedule of hours"
Donovan also explained that the
District Commissioners have approved
the shorter hour schedules.
The provision Is made in the rec
concentrations that present hours
shall continue until the time when the
needed funds are provided, and II
the additional money Is not appro-
priated In the 1898 budget, the exist
tng schedule will continue.
