night but those who gathered
here to pay homage tomorrow to

tonight that wave after wave of

claim has become a "death-trap''
for the Soviets' IL days of futile

Less Coalition Talk

Less Coalition Talk
There is less talk, however,
about a coalition of Labor and
Agricultural Hobbies. Organized
labor is beginning to realize that
its interests are not the same as
those of the farmers, who are
capitalists and employers of la
Dor.
The Labor lobby is less power
full than it formerly was, because
of the split between the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions.
A program along that line is
being worked out in the Depart
ment of Justice. It would attempt
to remove all obstacles, legisla-
tive or otherwise, in the way of
consumers obtaining goods at the
lowest prices at which producers
or dealers are willing to sell
them. One effect of such a drive
would be to kill the Patman bill,
introduced at the last session, tax
ing chain stores out of business.
Also contemplated are removal of
all existing restrictions on mail
order distribution of merchandise
and the removal of tax barriers
to commerce between the states.
Some changes in the Federal
Housing laws, to remove artificial
control of prices of building ma
terials and labor, are talked of.
Those are only a few high spots
in what looks like a busy session
ahead.

Association Opposes
License Reissuunce
For Heigh-Ho Club

The Importance of observing fire
apparatus responding to an alarm
and the duty of motorists to give them
the right of way. was stressed by
Stephen T. Porter. recently ap-
pointed fire engineer of the District,
at a meeting of the Dupont Circle
Citizens Association yesterday aft
ernoon in the Mayflower Hotel.
Mr.. Porter cited a recent acci-
dent involving fire engine and
street car, resulting in the injury
to two firemen, one seriously. &.
Cites Fire Loss Cut.
Pointing to the efficiency of the
department, Chief Porter said that
Washington showed a fire loss re-
duction of 81 cents per capita since
1911. This amount was based on
figures showing that from 1911
through 1915 the loss was $1.66 per
capita and from 1894 through 1898
the loss was IS cents per capita.
The association took cognizance
of Chief Porter's safety plea by pass
ing resolution favoring strict en-
forcement of the laws giving right OF
way to fire engines. police and ambu-
lances on emergency calls.
