Administrator Elmer F. Andrews
said today the Wage-Hour Admin
istration soon would start prosecut-
ing violators of the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
Announcing at press conference
that he had received about 1900
complaints alleging violations, Mr..
Andrews said:
I'VE think 1t is time to consider
very seriously taking some cases to
the courts and starting prosecutions.
We will pick out some appropriate
places throughout the country
New York City, for example. But
we don't think 1t would be fair not
to select some other cities, too.
Adamant Employers.
1--WE will pick out first the cases
where employers say they'll be
darned If they'll comply with the
act"
The Justice Department, Mr.. An
drews said, will direct the prosecu-
tions. He asserted that only about
Is per cent of the complaints he
has received look like real COM
plants under the act-the rest
either do not include enough in
formation or pertain to Mtrastate
commerce"
Mr.. Andrews said the administra-
ton regarded as most illegal" the
practice in some quarters Of reduc-
ing wages above the statutory 25-
cents-an-hour minimum to that
level. He added that retail stores
could not claim exemption from the
act during the Christmas rush on
the grounds that they were sea-
sonal industries.
Staff Numbers 210.
Mr.. Andrews said his staff num-
bered about 2l0, of whom a are
field representatives. He announced
appointment Of these additional
fleid men: a<sssas, .s....,..... .--.s s.s.. ,.s-
A. d. Barber. Atlanta: r. W.
Reece, New Orleans; Myron N.
Gaifey, Philadelphia, and J. Z.

The administrator also disclosed
that the Textile Industry Commit
tee, first to be created under the
act, would begin a four-day meet
Ing here December IA to receive

Shack Near Park
Watched as Hideout
OF 5niper-KiI|er
Unused Bullets Found;
Women's Apparel Also
Discovered by Police

Close surveillance was being kept
by investigators today on shack
in nearby Maryland believed to be
the hideout of the sniper. theory
bolstered by the finding there Of
unused bullets of the caliber that
took the lives of two victims.
It was the hottest clue" yet re-
vealed and kept alive the expecta-
ton by detectives Of an early cap
ture of the elusive gunman who for
nearly two weeks has preyed on mo-
torists in the upper Rock Creek
Park area.
Other evidence supporting the be-
lief the hut is the sniper's was
the discovery in it Of several ar
ticles OF women's apparel Of good
quality, including pair Of expen-
sive gloves.
Although cash has been the only
reported loot Of the killer, who
sometimes robs, authorities suspect
there have been cases of parking
spooners victimized, but which have
gone unreported for fear their iden-
ttty would be disclosed.
A colored man who protested his
innocence was seized at the shack
around midnight last night, but he
does not fit the description of the
man sought and police seemed none
too excited over his arrest.
Victims to See Suspect.
He is being held. however, and
together with another suspect will
be viewed, probably today, by a
woman wounded by the gunman
and an unidentified couple who told
police they were held up by the
sniper.
The latest prisoner, whose ex-
tremely dark skin is a factor in
his favor, since the sniper has been
described by witnesses as a light
complexioned colored man, was able
to give little information about the
bullets.
The unf1red shells are 32-caliber,
police said, and of a foreign make.
The slugs taken from the bodies of
the sniper's victims were of the
same size, but were American made.
This fact, though, did not shake
the police theory they have located
the gunman's hiding place.
The man arrested at the shack
claimed, when questioned, that the
woman's gloves were his own prop
erty, although detectives said they
still bore traces of perfume.
Mrs. Edna l.. Brown, 40, most re-
cent victim Of the sniper, who was
shot in the hip and her escort, Peter
Murray, 60, slain last Thursday
night near the East-West Highway
just across the District line, did
not report the theft of her gloves.
Nor did the woman, who, with her
male companion, told police they
were robbed by man believed to
be the sniper the night after the
slaying.
Other Hold-Ups Suspected.
These facts prompted Capt. Ira E..
Keck, assistant detective chief, to
express the opinion there have been
hold-ups committed by the sniper
unknown to police.
What was at first thought to be
another "hot lead"-the passing of
an old large size dullar bill, of the
type taken from one of the sniper's
victims-was being treated lightly
by detectives. They explained the
serial number Of the stolen bill was
not known and that tracing it would
be difficult. An old-style dollar was
among several the sniper took from

CASTRIES, st. Lucia, British
West Indies, Nov. "a series of
fAin- -loosened avalanches today
spread death and destruction in the
interior of this island of the Wind

A mountainside 8 miles long last
night buried two hamlets and a
number of inhabitants estimated to
run into the hundreds.
Rescue workers laboring all night
recovered As dead and 90 injured,
but this morning a new avalanche
buried all of the dead again in ad-

Warning Issued.
There were reports, however, that
the landslides might be of volcanic
origin since the meteorological sta

turbances could be expected Monday
or Tuesday.
Some witnesses declared the steeu
mountainsides, considered among
the most beautiful of the West In
dies, were not slipping, but were
cracking open with loud detonations
each time a new landslide started.
Such volcanic disturbances are not
unknown in this region. On May 8,
lso2, an eruption Of Mount Pelee on
Martinique destroyed the city of ST.
Pierre with nearly all its population
of 10000.
More than 1000 persons waited
at the entrance to Port Castries all
night IN pouring rain for news
OF relatives they feared were lost in
the first landslide, which occurred
on the main road connecting two
sides of this island of 238 square
miles.
Rescue work was hampered by the
continuing rains, but 200 volunteers
armed with shovels were sent to
the scene this morning. Police and
medical authorities established q
temporary morgue at the roadside,
where rows of bodies awaited iden-
tif1cation.
New Landslides.
Six carpenters worked all night
making collins for the victims, but
a sudden new landslide swept over
the dead, injured and some of the
rescue workers.
Sixty injured already have been
brought to Port Castries Hospital.
Each vehicle entering the city is
followed by throng Of weeping
women anxious for word of their
relatives.
Communications with other parts
of the island have been interrupted
for the last week because of floods
and minor landslides. Extra gangs
of workers were employed in an
effort to keep lines open, but almost
as soon as one break was repaired
new avalanche disrupted service
The floods have caused four
deaths.

INCOME RETURN
FAILS TO ALTER
TAX BILL PLANS
Congress Ready to Act
On 5-BiIIion Budget
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN

UN.S.). Despite the gain IN
income tax receipts this month,
compared with returns OF March,
1887, Treasury Department Off
cials today revealed they were
standing pat on recommendations
that Congress provide for $780,.
100000 revenue in the tax bill
pending in the Senate.
While expressing qualification
over the latest income tax receipts,
Chairman Pat Harrison CD OF
Mississippi of the Senate Finance
Committee, said the figure carried
in the President RooSevelt'S bud
get recommendations as of last
January will be adhered to unless
the Administration makes a new
request.
NO CHANGE SEEN .
'T believe the Treasury De-
partment will stand on the
$3.50, 900, 900 already recon-
mended," Undersecretary Pos
well Magill told Harrison in the
presence of reporters.
1--WE expect to have the pend
ing tax bill reported to the Sen
ate before the Treasury Depart.
ment completes its analysis OF
the March receipts" Harrison
added, with Magill giving assent
to his observation that the
March returns would not change
the tax problem facing Congress.
TOP MARCH, 1887
Income tax returns for all of
March were expected by Treasury
officials to reach $750, 900, 900. For
the first IS days of the month,
total of $61S.000. 900 was reported,
compared with $500, 100000 in the
first is days of March, 1887.
"It must be remembered" said
Senator King D) of Utah, a
member of the Senate Finance
Committee, that the tax re-
turns for 1887 cover a compare
lively good first half of the year
and q bad second half. We are
now in the bottom of the
trough and hoping that better
times will come.
WANTS REDUCTION
II am for reducing Federal
expenditures, but / don't think

Federal expenditures will be
