WALK STRIKE
WINS SUPPORT
OF DRAM
Urges Fund Be Given
For Inspectors to
Maintain Autos

The walking strike" being staged
by the 10 field inspectors on the
staff of Building Inspector John
w. Oehmann in protest against
having to use their own automo-
biles for official business at their
own expense, began bearing fruit
today at the District Building.
Engineer Commissioner Dan I.
Sultan was urged by Director Of
Inspection Hugh P. Dram to make
"every effort to secure a restora-
ton of the item of 1890 for al
lowance for the use of private au-
tomobiles on inspection work" not
only for the 10 in the building in
spector's office but for 20 other
inspectors in other divisions I'M
der Grams supervision.
Grams recommendation urged
Colonel Sultan to take steps in
securing the allowance before the
Senate District Appropriations sub
committee in consideration of the
Districts 1888 fiscal year supply
bill.
Complaints Heard
Meanwhile at the office of
Colonel Oehmann complaints be-
gan trickling in from builders over
tardy inspections. The staff of 10
field inspectors stopped using their
automobiles on Monday and began
walking to and from Ghcir assign
mentS.
In his report, Dram pointed ouv
that because Of the vast amount
of territory allotted to each OF the
field inspectors, it would be i'm
possible to make adequate inSpec-
lions on street cars and buses. He
also pointed out tranSportations
allowances for street car and bus
fare would exceed the amount for
merly granted for use OF private
automobiles.
Colonel Oehmann in a report to
Dram on the walking strike"
pointed out:
cit has been difficult for the
inspectors to keep apace Of their
inspection work when using
their automobiles, and the great
amount of travelling has in
creased the operating cost Of
their cars to such a point they no
longer feel justified in bearing
the expense. There is no pro-
vision Of law or regulation
whereby an inspector is required
to provide his own tranSpOrta-
ton.
DELAY is FORESEEN
''The building regulations pro-
vide that no building shall pro-
gres with construction until
re-survey has been obtained for
location Of exterior walls and to
enforce this will necesSitate de-
laying all operations both at the
time Of approval of trenches so
that footing concrete may be
placed and at the time the
building is checked for COM
piance with the coming regula-
tions and its location on the
lot. Delays Of this character
will cause much dissatisfaction
among the builders.
at will be absolutely impOsSi-
BILE to comply with the prOvis-
ions of the building code as to
inspection methods both on the
part of the District and the
builders, unless it is made pos
sibIe for the inspectors to cover
their territories with the least
amount Of delay. This office is
totally helpless to relieve this
situation and it is reported to
you so that any criticism for
lack Of inspections or delay will
not be laced upon the admins
tratiOn Of this office"

Situation in New Turn
As Consumers Renew
Fight to Cut Cost

While consumers planned to re-
vive their fight for lower milk
prices in the District, develop
ments indicating a more serious
menace to public safety as an out
growth of the siX-month market
ing agreement put into effect last
November drew the attention of
Department of Agriculture con-
sumers' counsel representatives to-
day.
In a statement issued by Donald
Montgomery, chief of the con-
sumers' counsel division, efforts
were being made to ascertain the
facts regarding bootlegging of milk
from outside milk sheds which is
said to be entering Washington
uninSpected by local health Off
Gals.
Accusations that this was being
done came from B. B. Derrick, Sec
rotary of the Maryland and Vir-
GINA Milk Producers Association,
as his explanation of abnormal
SURPRISES in producers supplies
during the winter months, Mont
gomery stated.
Inquiry Hinted
The possibility of q Federal
Trade Commission investigation
was looked upon by Montgomery
and Mrs. John Boyle, jr., president
OF the Washington Consumers
Council, as the most effective man
ner of determining the bootleg
situation, as well as investigating
contentious by the Maryland and
Virginia association that present
accent milk prices will have to be
maintained throughout the sum
mer because Of high feed costs.
Derrick would not comment to-
day on his recent statement, but
Montgomery said that winter milk
Surplusage this year rose to Is per
cent Of all milk produced, whereas
the average overproduction under
the old price during the winter
months was only per cent. The
average surplus during summer
months, when pasturage allows
the farmers to cut down feed
costs, is between IS and 80 per
cent, the Consumers counsel said.
Seek Aid Of Senate
Mrs. Boyle said her council is
now determined to enlist some
member of the Senate in the fight
on local milk price conditions.
She said:
eve are more than ever con-
WINGED that the only help Dis
trict consumers can get is from
some sort of congressional in
veStigatiOn into the matter. 1
have also received letters from
individual farmers who belong
to the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association beg
ging me to keep up the fight
for a thorough investigation Of
existing conditions n tbs milk
shed.
"When the cows 20 back to
pasture at tbs time of the year,
the farmers production Of milk
increases. Unless the retail price
of milk is reduced so that con.
sumers can buy more milk, the
farmer. too, stands to suffer
from the vicious circle in which
he is caught with additional
quantities of milk on hand and
nobody to buy it because the
price is too high"
Mrs. Boyle said she would see
Senator William H. King CD of
Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, and confer
with him on a plan which will
come to the rescue of District
consumers.

URGED TO BACK
FIDELITY PLAN
Consent Is Necessary
To Effect Transfer

Pointing out that a signed lgree
ment is necessary to effect the
plan whereby the closed Fidelity
Building and Loan Association will
be taken over by the First Federal
Savings and Loan Association. and
pay the shareholders IS cents on
the dollar, Mrs. MARI C. Bulls.
chairman of the shareholders com.
mittee today urged the nearly 49,.
900 shareholders to act i'm
mediately.
Mrs. Bulls, who has devoted
much of her time to the study
and investigation Of reorganization
plans, emphasized the necessity for
immediate action by explaining
the receiver must have the written
consent Of at least rs ~er mt of
the shareholders, in amount, with
in 20 days from the day the de-
positorS received the notice out
lining the reorganization plan.
WORK PkOGkESSlNG
Having acquainted herself
thoroughly with the situation
through efforts to bring about a
plan whereby the depositors would
receive as much as possible for
their accounts, she said:
when I entered into this
work, on July z, it appeared that
the Fidelity Building and Loan
Association would never re-
open.
Since that time, however. we
have worked hard to bring about
a favorable reorganization and
We now have Just such plan
offered us, but we must act i'm.
mediately to accept this plan, or
the receiver will be forced to
seek liquidation.
This plan, to have the First
Federal Savings and Loan ASso-
citation take over the accounts
Of Fidelity, is by far better than
anything we had dared hope
for. The plan would not only
assure the shareholder IS cents
for every dollar he or she had in
the old organization, but all &C.
counts up to $4,000 would be in.
Sured.
PLAN APPROVED
1.-THE plan has the unqualified
approval of the Comptroller Of
the Currency, who has been
working hard to protect the
shareholders of this organiza-
ton. We can certainly find no
better way to dispose of Fidelity,
and may be forced to accept far
less on the dollar for our stock
II we pass up this opportunity.
although I feel that at the
present time there appears to be
sufficient interest among the
shareholders in the proposed
plan to assure the necessary
consent from at least rs per
cent of the shareholders, in
amount, to effect the plan, we
must remember that there are
5000 shareholders who have not
even bothered to file their
claims to date. We cannot eX-
pect much help from them,
even though they represent a
very small portion of the total
value of the stock"
In concluding Mrs. Bulls ex-
planned that James H. Nolan, re-
ceiver for the closed organization,
also had expressed his approval of
the new plan and said that unless
it was accepted, liquidation would
have to be resorted to unless an
other plan was offered by the
shareholders.
