DENIED
BUILDING PERMIT
Application of Adolf Gobel,
Inc, Refused on Tech.
nicaI Grounds.

An order was issued by the District
Commissioners today denying the ap-
plication of Adolf Gobel, Inc, 70 re-
build and enlarge its slaughter house
and meat rendering plant at Benning
road and Kenilworth avenue adjacent
to new Federal park developments in
that section.
Action was based on technical rea-
sons only, the reasons set forth in
the order having ignored the public
nuisance" issue which the Commis-
sioners themselves and interceding
Federal officials had stressed as their
principal reason for opposing re-
sumption Of slaughter house opera
tions.
Except for that matter, the action
of the Commissioners was entirely
expected.
They based their conclusions on
recommendations from Corporation
Counsel Ewood H. Seal. A special
board meeting had been called for
considering the abattoir permit.
Six Reasons Set Forth.
Six technical reasons. based mainly
on important omissions made in the
plan submitted by the Gobel Co., were
set forth as sufficient cause to deny
the application. This information had
been obtained from the special COM
mittee of District officials which had
investigated the plans and previously
had recommended issuance Of the per-
mits provided certain condftions were
met.
Seal explained today the order Of
the Commissioners would be used in
connection with an amended answer
which would be filed tomorrow In Dis
trict Court. There Is pending there a
suit brought by the company for writ
of mandamus to compel the Commis-
sioners to issue q building permit.
Seal was asked what would happen
If the Gobel Co. revised its plans to
meet the technical objections set forth
in the Commissioners order. He
merely shrugged his shoulders and
replied:
I'VE will cross that bridge when We
come to It."
Strongly Opposed.
Today's action by the Commission
ers, all Of whom were present except
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen. fol-
lowed insistent demands from various
Federal agencies that stockyard oper-
ations be prohibited In the Benning
area, which also Is the proposed site
of q p. w. A. housing project. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretaries Ickes and
Wallace and Frederic A. Delano,
chairman of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, aligned
themselves against the abattoir.

director of inspection to direct the
building inspector to deny the apph-

us. ASKED To RUN
SOCIAL AID ALONE
La Guardia Would Reverse
Cash Flow From Federal
Unit to States.

Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia of
New York City told the chief ex.
ecutives of 100 other cities here to-
day that the administration of the
social security program should be en-
tirely in the hands of the Federal
Government.
Unless we have uniform admins
tration of the security law, the en-
tire program may be thrown out Of
gear" La Guardia said in his ad-
dress opening the fourth annual
United States Conference of Mayors
at the Mayflower Hotel
His whole talk stressed the inter-
relationship of the Federal and local
governments. He emphasized the
municipalities dependence on WASH
ington for relief money, public works
aid, housing grants and debt adjust
ments.
Wants Funds Flow Reversed.
He urged his fellow municipal chiefs
to support constitutional amend
nnent empowering Congress to pass Sc
cnrity and other economic legislation
iFthe Supreme Court should throw
out the law, and said
II am going to make a recommends
ton, of which I perhaps will be the
only supporter. There is great de-
mand on the part of the States for
more power in administering the Sc
curity program. Instead of the Fed
eral Government making contributions
to the States to administer the law,
the reverse should be true"
La Guardia, who is president of the
conference, urged establishment of q
Federal agency to finance municipali-
ties, place where a well-admin-
istered city could borrow money
against its own securities at a con-
scionable rate of interest" He sug.
gested the Federal Reserve Board
could supervise this activity.
The New York Mayor withheld any
estimate of the amount Of money he
felt the Federal Government should
provide for relief during the coming
year, but said that at least $500, ,00o,- :
600 should be appropriated to meet
the added needs of the current year,
for which $1,450, ,o00. 900 was provided.

TAMPA, Fla. November 16.-Wil-
liam Green, president of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, today asked
those who have split with the fedora.
ton to come back to 1t and settle
their differences in "man-fashion"
through democratic procedure.
Green's appeal was made in this
opening address before the fifty-sixth
annual convention of the federation.
Strongly worded. it retreated not
one inch from the action of the
Executive Council in suspending 10
member unions of the Committee for
Industrial Organization.
Green did not include in his appeal
for unity" any word of concession
to their intentions to organize the
mass production industries on indus
trial lines.
Willing to Arbitrate.
He did. however, declare without
reservation that the federation stands
ready to meet further for purposes
of exploring possibilities of peace with
the factions headed by John L. Lewis.
At the same time President Green
denied the real issue of the present
split is that OF industrial versus craft
unions, but insisted it to be one OF
organization as opposed to minority
rule by force. This same reasoning Is
applied in the Executive Councils re-
port to the, convention.
Countering this appeal from the
federation president for restoration
Of unity within the labor movement,
however, was the introduction this
morning of resolution calling for rev.
ocation of charters and certificates Of
afiiliation Of all A. F. Of L. unions
now afiiliated with the c. !. O.
Greeting From Roosevelt.
After he finished his speech Green
read the following telegram from
President Roosevelt:
MY Dear Mr.. Green. I regret very
much that it will not be possible for
me to attend the annual convention
of the American Federation of Labor
beginning its sessions in Tampa on
Monday. Will you please express this
regret to the officers, delegates and
visitors at your convention and con-
vey to them my sincere good wishes
for a successful meeting. The return
of prosperity has restored hope and
happiness to citizens in all parts Of
the country so it seems to me that
your sessions this year will be held
under most suspicious circumstances.
The spirit of optimism again pervades
the land and I trust that your de-
liberations will be fruitful of results
which while promoting security for
the individual will, at the same time,
safeguard the fundamental interests
of the Nation as a whole"
Reporting after Green's speech, the
Credentials Committee awarded con-
vention seats to Charles P. Howard
