TRADE BOARD
0PP0SESM0RE
RELIEF CASH

Opposition to the proposal by
the Board Of Public Welfare and
a large group of the city's relief
and welfare organizations, for an
addition $1,000 900 in relief funds
to care for the thousands Of unem-
ployed employables in the District
during the fiscal year beginning
July /, has been voiced by the
Washington Board of Trade.
In letter forwarded by ]. Edgar
Morris, president of the board,
to the District Commissioners, the
organizations stand was outlined
as follows:
"The directors Of the Wash
ingtOn Board of Trade view with
concern the rise in the cost Of
relief in the District Of COlum-
bia and now believe the time
Is at hand when every effort to
lessen expenditures for relief
purposes, ~ employment in the
District increases, S h hOuld be
made, and they therefore cam
not approve the request that an
additional million dollars for
1888 be appropriated"
The Commissioners, who have
agreed to seek the additional
money before the Senate District
Appropriations A subcommittee in
the pending budget, had no COM
ment to make on the boards &C.
ton.
Meanwhile o request for q def
cheney appropriation Of $4,000,
to be supplemented by $4,000 of
hidden funds" in the current re-
lief appropriation, to care for the
employables during the remainder
Of this fiscal year, is still pending
before the Bureau Of the Budget.
The Commissioners forwarded the
deficiency recommendation to the
Budget Bureau two weeks ago in
the Districts general deficiency
bill.
Shortly after the Federal Gov
withdrew its financial
from the direct relief
field in the District more than a
year ago. District authorities de.
cided to care for only those cases
in the unemployable field.
AS a result some 1000 cases Of
we're stricken from
the relief rolls and, according to
estimates by welfare and relief
there are some 5000
cases, representing 10000 persons,
in which neither employment can
be found nor relief given.

 WASHINGTON, D C Feb. 26, Delegate Anthony J. Dimond asked Congress to give the rein deer back to the Eskimos, when he proposed an appropriation of two million dollars to purchase the herds now owned by Ameri- cans and Laplanders operating in the Territory.
 White men should never have been permitted to have reindeer in the beginning. There's been a constant conflict ever since. By giving the ESkimos exclusive ownership, peace will be restor- ed, and the natives will be rem dered largely independent,' Dim- Dimond said.
