The District National Guard, its
officers and men compare favorably
with the National Guard of any State"
said Gen. Drain. There is no city the
size OF Washington within my knowl-
edge that is without at least one good
National Guard armory.
Those of us who understand and
most of us do. what was in the mind
OF the founders of this Republic when
the Constitution was adopted realize
that the present National Guard is
organized, trained and animated by
the very spirit which moved our fore
fathers when they adopted the idea
That every able-bodied man should be
available in time Of war for the de-
tense Of this country. We know under
modern conditions it is vitally neces-
sary that there be considerable pre-
llminary training. for our people are
no longer frontiersmen."

ELEVATOR UNION
HITS BID PROPOSAL
Treasury Weighs Protest on Let
ting Work on General Con.
tracts.

Officials of the Treasury Depart
ments procurement division today
we're considering written protest
lodged with them yesterday by Local
10 of the International Union of
Elevator Constructors against a pro-
posal to let elevator construction
work through general contracts rather
than through separate bids, as at
present.
Such a change, it was stated in the
protest, would not. as claimed, elimi-
nate danger of jurisdictional strife,
since the work still would be let out
to elevator construction firms by the
general contractor. Failure to do
this, it was further stated, would
only result in confronting the Gov
ernment with "the possible hazalu
of faulty equipment inefficiently in
stalled by inexperienced men"
In support Of its claim that iuris-
dictional troubles would not be elimi-
mated by the proposed charge the
elevator union points to arguments
still going on between other con-
struction groups whose work is
Jumped under general contracts.
Harry S Wender, counsel for the
union, said yesterday that the large
elevator manufacturers and INSTALL
ment companies are backing the
union stand on the matter while
some of the general contractors would
like to bring the profitable elevator
work under their scope.
The unions protest was made to
w. E. Reynolds, assistant director of
the procurement division.
