Lines Consolidated.
The victory was cosidered partic-
ularly important because it tended
to consolidate Finnish defense lines
east of Uomaa on the Uuksu River,
in effect throwing the Russians in
that area back to where they were
in the opening days of the war.
On the Karelian isthmus front
the situation remained essentially
unchanged. Bitter fighting con-
tinued in the environs of Viipuri,
important now only as section of
no-man's-land. Chronicling slight
retreat here, a repulse of the enemy
there, the Finnish night commune

peared the Russians must take be-

Findings Summarized.
In summarizing its findings and
recommendations the survey COM
mittee said it had found:
THAT the "a old buildings con-
sidered in this report are unsuitable
for carrying on modern program
of elementary school instruction,
particularly because Of their unsat-
isfactory physical condition, but to
a greater extent because of their
obsolete design.
THAT the 1900 children attending
these old schools cannot be given
the same caliber of instruction as
other children in the District of
Columbia who are attending modern
schools.
THAT an attempt to ameliorate
this condition by placing the old
buildings in state Of satisfactory
physical condition would be inad-
visable and uneconomical, because
no such program of rehabilitation
could provide the necessary modern
facilities, which are not included in
the obsolete design of those build
ings, and because such a program
would merely postpone the newt
able replacement of these more
than-50-year -old structures.
THAT an appreciable reduction
in annual costs would be effected
by consolidation program, the saw
ing being derived principally from
the natural reduction in cost main
tenance and repair of the new build
ings and from the reduced number
Of teachers and principals required
in the consolidation system.
"That Of the total cost Of the
consolidation program, q portion
would be Offset by sale Of the aban-
doned sites, of which the assessed
value for the land only is $435 ,039,
and by avoiding the expense Of plac-
ing in satisfactory physical condi-
ton such buildings as are to be
abandoned within q few years, the
total Of such rehabilitation being
estimated as $427 ,820."
The committee further recon-
mended that, as q policy, each years
appropriation for capital outlay
should include provision for the re-
placement Of old, antiquqated build
ings. Such q policy should be con-
tinued, the report said, following
completion Of the replacement pro-
gram recommended.

Jams Troffic Tight
BY the Associated Press.

~ tne ASSOclateu fJeS&,
BALTIMORE, March 2.-Balti-
more's most spectacular fire In years
destroyed lumber yard today,
damaged half dozen nearby build
ings and threatened to develop into
a major conflagration before being
brought under control after two
hour fight by more than 800 firemen.
Heavy smoke still billowed from
the ruins, scant few blocks from
the cityS business center, tonight.
The eight-alarm blaze called out
As flre-fighting companies, caused
damage estimated by Daniel Schloss
of the Baltimore Lumber Co. at
around 100000 and jammed uptown
traffic in one of the tightest snarls
in the city's history.
Five f1remen were burned slightly
and one was overcome by smoke.
Motor Cars Destroyed.
In addition to the lumber yard
loss, eight private automobiles and
alf-dozen truck trailers parked
nearby were destroyed.
Chief Engineer Howard Travers,
who directed the laying of miles
of fire hose, said the blaze was be-
Ieved to have started in the ply
wood sections of the lumber yard.
Smoke and flames roared hundreds
of feet in the air and the intense
heat often made it necessary for
firemen to divert streams Of water
from the first to nearby structures.
Among those were 10-story grain
elevator, two gasoline filling stations,
two warehouse sheds containing
half a million pounds of freight, an
automobile tire store and several
other buildings.
More than 100 employees of the
firms were driven out by the heat
and smoke. Many carried valuable
records to places of safety.
Freight Cars Blaze.
Ten freight cars on spur tracks
became ignited several times and
the contents of several were de-
stroyed by the heat.
Pennsylvania and Western Mary
land Railroad traffic was hampered
and passenger trains of the Mary
land company did not get through
for three hours.
Extra police details were sum-
moned to hold back the thousands
of spectators. Several hundred of
the curious who watched from an
elevated street car trestle were
ordered down when it appeared the
flames would sweep through the
warehouses toward the buildings ad-
jacent to the Calvert street resi-
dental section.
Prisoners in the city jail and the
Maryland State penitentiary watched
the fire from "grandstand seats" at
prison windows.

Farm Interests Ask
7O7 Billion, Taxing
Manufactures 10 Paw
Some Senators Express
Surprise at Size
Of Requested Subsidy
BY the Associated Press.


Spokesmen for the country'S
largest farm organization asked
Congress for $707 900 900 increase
in farm benefits yesterday and sug-s
gested q new tax to pay for them.
Edward A. ONeal, president, and,
Earl Smith, vice president, Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
proposed what they called IAN excise
tax on manufacturers sales" at .
closed session of Senate Appro-
priation Subcommittee considering
the annual supply bill for the Agri-
culture Department. As 1t passed
the House, the measure carried
slightly more than $722 ,000, 900, In
cluding $500. .000, 900 for soil conser-
vation payments.
Contending that the tariff nets
manufacturers between 5000, 900 900
and $4,000, ,000, 900 annually, Mr..
ONeal argued 1t was only fair ito
impose very small percentage sales
tax on sale Of all finished manufac-
lures" He said these sales amount
ed to $50, ,000, 900 900 in 1887.
Mr.. ONeal contended in a pre-
pared statement that the tariff ac-
tually added substantial sums to the
price of manufactured products and
that farmers paid between $685.
600 900 and $750, 900 900 of these add"
ed costs each year in purchasing
them. -
Senators who heard the argu~
ment said there was little chance,
Of congressional approval because
leaders were opposed to any new
taxes. "
They also expressed surprise at
the size of requested benefits. Farm
State Senators have been discuss
ing total increases of about $780,.
600 600.
Mr.. ONeal said the $707 ,000, 900
increase could be voted without up
setting the budget by pairing ma
tional defense items. Placing az.
riculture in a healthy financial po-
sition. he declared, will constitute
the first bulwark of national de-
tense, and that any expenditure nec.,
essary therefor will be more efIec.
tive, even from the standpoint Of
national defense, than would the
expenditure of similar amounts for
any other purpose.
Mr.. O'Neal also asked 500, ,0O0, 600
for surplus removal operations,
which incvlude distribution of farm
products to persons on relief through
the stamp plan" The budget car.
ried $73,000,000 for these purposes,

ATLANTA, March 2.-Launching
q Southern organizing campaign
with 100000 new members as its
goal, President William Green Of
the American Federation of Labor
tonight challenged national policies
which would permit wage difIeren-
tials.
Here with labor leaders from 10

ference, Mr.. Green spoke at a ban
quet.
He termed the South "the new
land Of promise" and took issue
with what he called armchair the
orists" who regard the South "as
permanently submerged area"
Wage differentials, he said, have
been supposedly in favor Of the
South, "but actually they were
against 1t. Every wage diderential
has been another link in the chain
that has fettered the economic prog
ress Of the South"
Mr.. Green declared that in seek
ing to organize the South the A. F.
Of L. does not propose to accom-
plsh its ends by revolution.
I'VE do not propose to create great
industrial turmoil That Is not our
way. We propose to help the work.

dustry In the South and to benefit
all the people of the South, by
applying. through organization, the
principle of union-management CO.
operation. That is our way. That
is the American way"
