EMPLOYMENT Up
IN HAGERSTOWN
Local Office Leads All
Counties in Maryland
During September

Again breaking all previous
records for the number of private
Jobs filled in a single month the
Baltimore office of the Maryland
State Employment Service nearly
hit the 1900 mark during Septem-
Der by filling 1887 private jobs.
Seven of the other offices in the
State Service filled more private
Jobs last month than they did in
August. In Annapolis 1O1 private
Jobs were filled in September as
against 92 for August; in Cum
berland 165 during September and
only 1876 in August; in Frederick,
lis in September as against 1O3
in August; in Hagerstown 166 as
against 100; in Rockville, 10 as
against 10; in Towson SO as
against 90; and the new office in
Westminster filled it's first seven
Jobs for private employers.
The other six offices in the
Service, however, filled fewer pri-
vate jobs during September than
thew did in August. This fact
meant that the total number of
private jobs filled in the State
fell off from 2,245 during August
to 2,206 during September.
Jobs filled for public contrac-
tors numbered S21 during Septem-
her and that brought the total
Jobs filled in the State during the
month up to 3,027. This figure
for total placements has been
exceeded only once before in re,
cent months.

CATHOLICS EXPLAIN
CATECHISM CHANGE
Proposed Revision to Define
Certain Religious and
Civic Duties,

National officials of the Catholic
Confraternity of Christian Doctrine
said here today that proposed re-
vision of the Catholic catechism ''in
no sense means a change in the
doctrinal content Of the catechism." :"
The proposed revision would define
certain civic duties as religious OBJ
legations, such as, officials said, to
pay "just taxes" to vote regularly
without selfish purpose" and defend
even with life, if necessary, the "coun-
try's rights"
1.-THE revision has taken into con-
sideration modern methods of teach
ing, which are believed to be of ad-
vantage to pupils in learning the
Catholic religion and in applying it
to daily life," formal statement from
the confraternity said.
While it is generally felt that the
new catechism is an improvement over
the old, it must be remembered that
many of the questions and answers
remain unchanged, mark Of the I'M
changing character of the Catholic
religion and of the high esteem in
which the old Baltimore catechism is
generally held"
Officials said more than 100 per-
sons, including bishops and theologians
all over the country, participated in
revision of the old catechism.

Escaped Burros
May Be Headed
For Mexico Sun

Three little burros, shivering from
the unfriendly autumn cold in the
Montgomery County CMd) woods,
probably were headed southwest today
toward the warm sun of their native
Mexico.
The three long-eared animals,
which stand about hip high to the
average adult human, were part of
carload of SO imported from Mexico a
few days ago by Donald Woodward,
president Of woodward & Lothrop.
Huddled together in a corner of the
wire inclosure on the Woodward place
near Rockville, the burros apparently
consolidated their yearlings for home
and warmth with little energetic
pushing, and managed to escape be-
fore they had been here day.
Mr.. Woodward said that Al of the
burros had been rounded up and led
back to the estate, but that three were
still unaccounted for.
He said they are awfully cute" and
he thought few Of them might be
kept around as pets. They were
brought from Mexico through friend,
and when it was found that trans
portation costs for carload would be
no more expensive than for one, Mr..
Woodward decided to accept a whole
delegation.
Advertisements have been inserted
in newspapers offering reward to the
finders. Mr. Woodward says each of
the burros is branded on the left side
of the neck with the initials ID. W."

j. Balch Moor, superintendent OF
Insurance for the District, asked the
United States Court of Appeals today
to declare Group Health Association,

business and amenable to its statutes.

ant, Vernon E. West, Mr.. Moor, asked
the appellate court to reverse the Dis
trict Court, which held that G.. H. A.
was neither engaged in the practice Of

illegally. Mr.. Moor claims that the
lower court erred in not holding G.
H. A. is engaged in the insurance
business and that it is unlaWfully

United States Attorney David A. Pine,
one of the defendants in the District
Court proceedings, is not appealing
This involves a curious situation, in
which the Federal Government was on
the opposing side from so-called So
cialized medicine, in the G. H. A.
case in District Court, but is now pre-
pairing, through the Department OF
Justice, to claim, before an additional
District Court grand jury, that the
American Medical Association and the
District Medical Society allegedly vio-
lated the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The G. H. A. asked District Court to
render a declaratory judgment, that
it is in no sense illegally engaged in
the practice of medicine or the insur-
ance business or violating District laws,
particularly the Healing Arts Practice
Act. District Court shared in this
view after G. H. A. had sued Mr.. Moor
and United States Attorney Pine, when
Justice Jennings Bailey, in his final
decree of July 20, sustained G. H. A.
Justice Bailey held that the insur-
ance statutes here apply only to those
groups that provide for the payment
of indemnity on account of Sickness
but ruled that G. H. A. is not in this
category. Accordingly, the jurist over
ruled motions to dismiss G. H. AS bill
of complaint.
In the appellate court appearing for
G. H. A. are Attorneys Horace Rus
sell, A. Blaine York, Luke E. Keeley

new home for the Police Women's
Bureau. which has been housed in
makeshift quarters for many years,

Bureau on the 1910 estimates. it was

Police officials have been advised by
the municipal architects Office that
the new building would cost some
$150,000.
The plan was developed recently
after Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police. recommended to the
Commissioners that the old No. 2 pre-
cinct station house, now used by the
Women's Bureau, be used as the head
quarters for the No. precinct and
that new quarters be built for the
Women's Bureau.
No. 2 and No. 13 precincts now
have headquarters in the same build
ing on U street NV. near Ninth
street. Civic and other groups have
campaigned for years for the reopen
ing of the second precinct It had
been planned to move the Women's
Bureau to the old Police Court Build
ing, but that plan went awry last
spring when Fire Department officials
ruled that the old court structure
was not fit for habitation purposes.
While District officials have de-
clined to announce the site of the
proposed new Women's Bureau build
ing, it was said to be on Government
owned land within two blocks of the
old No. 2 station on Fifth street NV.

Chick and Fleet didn't get an op-

AGREEMENT ENDS

Wage Boosts, 40-Hour Week
Won in Truce Settling
3-Week WaIkout.

Employees of the Government Print
ing Once cafeteria terminated a three
week strike late yesterday when they
agreed to return to work Monday.
An agreement embodying the major
points at issue between the strikers
and the G. P. O. Recreation Asso-
citation was approved by Public Printer
Augustus E. Giegengack, ending the
strike, which drove more than 5000
G. P. o. employees from the building
for lunch.
Committees from the association
and the Hotel and Restaurant EN-
ployes' Alliance, Local 7Sl, which
called the strike, met with Mr.. Gle
gengack yesterday afternoon and as
sured him the cafeteria would be op-
Grated amicably If he reconsidered
his decision to keep the cafeteria
closed.
Everybody Satisfied"
Everybody was satisfied with the
agreement" the public printer said
today. They've promised there will
be no more disputes, and I'm per-
fectly willing to allow the cafeteria
to reopen AZ q convenience to the
employees"
The agreement provides for sub
stantial raises in pay all along the
line, the public printer said. Other
provisions include two weeks vacation
with pay, time and one-haf for over
time, 40-hour week and 8-hour day
and pay for holidays
The last point to be settled was the
unions demands for pay increases
for part-time employees. The agree
ment provides a guarantee of four
hours work for such employees.
The agreement was regarded as a
compromise proposal embodying con-
cessions on both sides. 1t will run
for year with the option Of arbitra-
tion on new issues.
100 Go Back to Work.
A week after the cafeteria workers
left their posts the association board
stated fatty they would not continue
negotiations until the workers re-
turned. The public printer, flying
back from the American Legion Con-
vention in Los Angeles, backed up the
board and ordered the cafeteria closed
indefinitely. He left one loophole,
however, in agreeing to hear any sug-
gestions that might terminate the
strike.
The reopening Of the cafeteria will
bring more than 100 workers back to
their jobs. OF these, SO are members
