troll the wealth and actions of the

ference urged strict neutrality

Slaughter House Menace
Continues to Threaten.

SECRETARY OF THE 1NTE-
- R1OR and District Commis-
sioners, with the support Of
most OF the civic bodies, continue
an effort to block the proposed
erection and operation Of the So
called abattoir and rendering plant
at Benning. Under the direction
Of the Engineer Commissioner, a
survey is being made OF the sew
age-diSposal plant, with view to
ascertaining to what extent 1t
would be overburdened by the op-
Grafton of the slaughter house.
These and other efforts may come
to naught for the building contrac-
tor is already on the ground and
actual building operations will be
gin tomorrow.
The House District Committee,
through the operation of parlia-
mentary tactics, has apparently
tied its own hands. The bill
pending before the Senate District
Committee to prohibit the erec-
ton and operation Of nuisance in
dustries within the District Of Co.
lumbia is still before a subcom-
mittee Of the District Committee.
Here, it is stated hearings on
the bill have not been completed
and that they will be continued
early next week. after which time
the subcommittee will be in a posf
ton to report to the full committee.
The Senate committee is impressed
with the need for prompt action.
With very few exceptions the
organized citizen groups favor and
urge the passage of the pending
bill. The feeling prevails that this
is an urgent matter which should
be taken care of at the present
session Of the Congress in order
that this proposed nuisance indus
try shall be prevented from erect
ing its plant and beginning opera
ton in the Fall. These groups are
equally interested in providing
permanent legislat ton to guard
against any similar threat In the
future.
