Studies Completely Ignore
Milk Bottle Factor of Problem.

Last week the West End Citi-
zens' Association voted to take
up with the Health Department
the matter Of requiring a re-
fundable charge on milk bottles.
There will probably be others
follow suit and thus force the
issue to- the extent of at least
getting some definite statement
on the subject.
Efforts to stir up an interest
in this phase of the milk price
question have been difficult. 1t
is reported that the local dis
trlbutors are anxious to put off
the consideration of this factor
OF expense and probable saving
until some indefinite time in the
future.
1t is understood, however, that
the price of the bottles is to
play an important part in the
proposal to supply a low-price
milk to persons on relief or en-
ployed by the w. P. A. On all
such milk a deposit is desired
to cover the cost of the bottle.
The loss in breakage and non-
return of bottles is understood
to run to very high figures. 1t
is believed that a reasonably
simple system could be devised
which would wipe out this cost
factor entirely except as to
bottles broken in the distribu-
tors plant or by his employees.
The public is entitled to know
the facts as to this part of the
retail milk price problem. Bot
ties are known to be expensive
and every one is aware of the
lavish way in which both the
whole and the broken bottles are
scattered throughout the District.
All of this represents pure waste
and has nothing whatever to do
with the question of a fair profit
for either the producer or the
distributor. Many citizens have
been heard expressing the wish
that some investigative body
would attempt to solve this bottle
mystery.

By BARBARA BELL,

A gilt OF your own handlWOrk is
always especially heart-warming-
very personal proof of your fore
thought and affection. These three
gift suggestions will bring lasting
| joy and be the more welcome be-
cause they fit so brightly-and
rightly-into the everyday life OF
those for whom they are intended
They're so gay and original that
each will be a glad surprise! And
to put the matter on very prosaic
basis, you can give more and nicer
gifts, at less expense, when you make
them yourself. To make these is
very easy and lot of fun. Each is
accompanied by a step-by-step sew
chart, guiding you explicitly from
first to last. Get your orders into
the mail today and start right in
on your gift sewing.
Every little girl who has one espe-
cially beloved doll would rather get
some pretty new clothes for her
than anything else in the world
And just think what thrill you
can give with the giving of the
many pretty things in 1645-B. These
are not just ordinary doll clothes
they are smart, modern, glamorous!
Look at the romantic party frock,
the cape and the house coat, the
adorable play suit! Fancy the frock
in pink taffeta, the house coat in
blue dotted Swiss or dimity, the
cape in amethyst velvet, the play
suit in the brightest of bright chintz!
You probably have enough scraps,
left over from more ambitious sew
ing to take care of all the tiny gar
ments.
Here's a. charming present for
your friend who loves clothes-an
accessory set including a fitted
jacket, soft handbag, slipon gloves
and a tailored scraf. You'll have
to make up, at the very least, two Of
1643-B, because it's fairly certain
you'll want to keep the first one
you make for yourself. The fitted
jacket, worn with plain dark frocks
and skirts, gives such versatility to

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 18.-The
c. I. O.-National Maritime Union
today won it's initial effort to obtain
bargaining rights among unlicensed

Union in bargaining agency elec-

The election was the first held

in Congress have needed was to
know that some District people
were expressing a willingness to
have new or an increase of an
old tax. They have agreed that
it was a good idea to be pushed
along and entirely overlooked the
substitution feature of the pro-
posal.
The first time Q motor vehicle
fuel tax was saddled on the Dis
trict it was the result of a pro-
posal to substitute it for the
personal tax on motor vehicles.
The so-called gasoline tax fol-
lowed, but the personal tax was
not repealed. In the same way
the weight tax was to be sub
stituted for the personal tax, but
1t ended in the same manner.
There is another side to this
problem and that is the injustice
OF trying to saddle additional
tax burdens for general purposes
upon the owners of motor ve-
hicles. The gas tax is really not
a tax on gasoline for it only ap-
plies to that used for motor
vehicles. 1t is really a highway
use tax and as such, if not ex-
brilliantly high, is about the
fairest tax devised.
The Federal Government in
the Hayden -Cartright Act recog-
nizes the principle of this tax
being a highWay-use tax and pro-
vldes for the payment from the
Federal funds of amounts to
match certain State highway ap-
preparations. The District has
been put on the level of a State
for the purpose of sharing in
such distribution. To continue
to get such contributions from
the United States Treasury there
must be no diversion of the high
way funds to other purposes.
States making diversions are
penalized heavily. The District
had too hard a time to gain this
recognition to now jeopardize it
through making the motorist
bear a still heavier burden.
1t is understood that some who
advocate the increase of the gas
tax were among those who op-
posed vigorously the enactment
OF a general retail sales tax for
the District. In this connection
it should be remembered that
the gasoline tax is very definitely
a sales tax.

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Amereonize' Washington; Citizen Views
On Reorganization Requested
By JESSE C. SUTER.

The whereas and therefore
be it resolved mill" in the civic
groups is now running full blast.
The Commissioners, Congress
and the Federation of Citizens
Associations will shortly be reap
ing a harvest of such documents.
The last week saw a number Of
important citizens meetings,
and others will follow this week.
The Board of Trade holds its
second meeting of the season to-
morrow night, when important
reports will be received Special
features will include traffic
safety problems and a review of
the European war situation.
The most important news at
the District Building for the last
week was the report to the Com
missioners by the kitchen cabi-
net" of the revised plan for a
reorganization of the District
government. This plan succeeds
in eliminating many of the
Objectionable features of the
Griffenhagen plan.
1t will be reported by the
Commissioners to the subcom-
mittee of the House Committee
on the District of Columbia after
a hearing of the citizens. The
tentative plan will probably be
modified by the Commissioners
after the hearing.
The Public Utilities Commits
sion completed its hearing on the
petition of the Capital Transit
Co. for permission to abandon
its Butternut street branch to
Takoma Park. The company pro-
posed to substitute an augment
ed bus service for the line aban-
doned. The commission has the
matter under advisement. An
early decision is not expected as 1t
is understood extensive engineer
ing and statistical studies will be
required before the commission
will be in a position to act.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission met here
last week and took up many i'm
portant land purchases and
other problems. 1t was an
nounced that a 10-year priority
list, into which all proposed pub
lie works in the District of Co.
lumbia will be blanketed, is to
be made up soon This is to be
done by a conference commit
tee of District and Federal Off
cials under sponsorship of the
commission. Inventories of pub
lie works in nearby Maryland
and Virginia during the past 10
years and similar priority lists
for the next 10-year period are
also to be prepared by similar
conference committees.
Another high light of the week
was the announcement by the
Municipal Court of substantial
reduction in the cost of filing
fees in landlord and tenant cases.
The gross saving to the nearly
$4,000 poor tenants, against
whom suits are filed in that
court annually, is said to be
about $17,500

Americanize Washington
And Solve Many Problems.


AS the civic organization sea-
son advances there is brought
to the fore multitude of local
problems for which solutions
have long been sought. AS one
attempts to 60 to the root of
any Of them sooner or later he
runs up against a stonewall of
impenetrable thickness and un-
scalable height. When its mas

fully he finds that national rep

Columbia is the only "open

opening through which he may
pass. He must, as an American
citizen, be endowed with those
fundamental and vital rights
which will put him on an equal
footing with his fellows of the
States in the councils of this
Nation.
He must have voting repre-
sentation in the Senate and the
House of Representatives of the
United States and the right to
cast his vote for the electors of
President and Vice President.
These are the bodies which really
hold the power over the Nation
and the District, and until the
District can participate in the
exercise of such power it is mere
" a puppet dangling on the end
OF cord and required to 90
through whatever antics the
force on the upper end of the
cord wills.
Many District citizens have ar
rived at the conclusion that a
more determined and concen-
trated effort to attain national
representation and less time
spent on minor issues would
produce far more satisfactory.

important piece of pending leg

Per Cdpitd Tax Boost
Defeated At Convention

Cincinnati, Ohio. - The American
Federation of Labor convention de-
feated resolution offered by the
delegates Of the Pulp, Sulphite and
Paper Mill Workers Brotherhood to
increase the per capita tax Of affili-
ated unions from one to two cents per
month. The resolution was adversely
reported by the Committee on Laws,
of which Vice President Tobin is
chairman.
Delegate Burke Of the Pulp, Sui
phite and Paper Mill Workers favored
the higher dues as a substitute for the
special assessment Of one cent per
member per month. Vice President
Tobin and Delegate Volz of the Photo
Engravers opposed the increase.
Vice President Tobin pointed out
that inasmuch as the convention had
already voted to continue the assess
ment for another year, the proposed
increase in the per capita tax would
raise the total collected from each
member to thirty-six cents a year
which he said was inadvisable.
Delegate Volz pointed out that the
increase in the per capita tax re,
quired a two-thirds vote of the con.
vention, and likewise thirds vote
to reduce it, while the assessment
could be continued or stopped by q
majority vote.

Look Who Tells Workers
How They Should Vote!

The special correspondent who COW
cred the c. l. O. convention at San
Francisco for the "Daily Worker" of
New York proudly informs the Com
munist clan that the alien Harry
Bridges officiated as temporary chair
man and introduced both John l..
Lewis and Governor Olson of Califor-
MIA to the assembled G. l. O. delegates.
With extraordinary effrontery, e
Bridges, whose right to reside in the
good old U. S. A. is still an open ques-
ton, delivered lecture on the neces-
sity of electing more progressive
Legislature in California.
Commenting upon this curious ex-
hortation to American citizens the
East Bay Labor Journal of Oakland,
Calf, says:
According to newspaper reports,
and they should be correct as the re-
porters are members of the guild, a
C. l. o. affiliate, AIRY Bridges, west
coast director Of the G.. l. o. and re-
Gently on trial before the U. S. gov
ernment for alleged 'communistic ac-
tivities' told the C. |. o. convention
that the c.. |. O. would enter politics
up to their necks.
"And the reports said that the leg
islature was reactionary and so were
certain assemblymen and senator's.
Mr.. Bridges told how this could be
overcome by the voting strength, Pm
told, of the G. l. O.
"Now isn't it just ducky how AIRY
can tell the American citizenry how
to vote? He's still an alien, without
the protection of the U. S. and yet he's
dabbling in politics.
'To me it's Hitler or Stain coming
to America and sticking their noses in
politics. If they did that we'd tell
them where to head in at and that
goes for AIRY also.

what to do and how to vote!"
