26 Workers. Alliance Mem.
bers Leave Quickly as
Police Arrive.

A sit-doWn strike staged by IS mem
bers of the Workers Alliance in pro-
test against the refusal Of the District
Commissioners to meet Immediately
their demands for revised relief
policy ended quickly late yesterday
when eight first precinct policemen
marched into the board room of the
District Building,
George Dixon, leader Of the strike,
began gathering his papers together
as the police entered the room, and
with only mild verbal protests led his
followers out of the building.
The Commissioners had listened for
two and half hours to complaints
of members of the alliance who have
been cut off relief rolls or lost their
W. P. A. jobs. They said needy per-
sons are eating out of garbage cans.
and demanded that the Commissioners
administer relief on the basis Of need
instead of employability.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen ex-
pressed sympathy with the plight Of
those in need, but said no action could
be taken until Commissioner George
E. Allen. who is in charge OF relief
administration, returns to the city.
Dixon shouted his followers would re-
main in their seats until the Com
missioners acted.
Approximately IS playground super
visors and employees who had been
ordered to attend a staff meeting in
the board room witnessed the evic-
ton Of the strikers.

D. C..L|QUOR BILLS
ARE EREP0RTED0UT
Sale of Drinks Over Lunch
Counter Favored by
House Group.

The Dirksen bill permitting sale Of
hard liquor by the drink over bona fide
lunch counters was favorably reported
by the House District Committee today
along with two other measures de-
signed to modify Washington's liquor
control act Only beer and light wines
now are allowed to be sold over lunch
counters.
One of the other bills will vest in
the District Court rather than the Com
missioners, the authority to review de-
cisions OF the Alcohol Beverage Con-
troll Board. The third is intended to
stop the now of direct
sumer tax-free liquor into the Dis
trict.
All three measures will be placed
on the House calendar in time for
consideration Monday, the final Dis
trict day Of the month.
The committee also Cancelled all
regular weekly meetings for the re-
mainder of the current session of
Congress, indicating that little other
proposed District legislation will be
considered. Chairman Palmisano an
nounced, however, he would call spe-
cial meetings from time to time to
consider urgent matters, as well as
reports Of special committees that
have bills under consideration.
The full committee approved the
lunch counter sale of high-powered
drinks despite the vigorous opposition
OF the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board and an organization whose
members hold class c and D liquor
licenses. The Bartenders' Union.
however, has indorsed the Dirksen bill
The bill, to prevent tax-free liquor
from being shipped to consumers in
Washington, is aimed chiefly at New
York dealers. 1t was sponsored by
Representative Shafer, Republican, of
Michigan, who claims New York con-
Germs are doing 100000 worth Of
business In Washington annually be-
cause they are able to underseli local
dealers. Liquor now shipped from
New York direct to the consumer in
the District escapes the New York tax
as well as the local tax.
