Pay Act Here
Fleming Announces
Setup Patterned
On State System
By OLIVER MCKEE,


Under an agreement announced

Washington will be conducted by
the District Minimum Wage Board.
The agreement was announced by
Col. Philip B. Fleming, wage-hour
administrator, was approved by the
division, Miss Katherine F., Len
root, chief Of the Children's Bureau,
and the District Minimum Wage
Board. 1t follows closely the pat
tern of contracts made with State
departments of labor, under which
State agencies handle such cases.
Under the agreement the Wage
and Hour Division will forward all
complaints of alleged violations here
to the wage board. The board will
appoint another full-time inspector,
selected from civil service lists of
District residents, to investigate
complaints against companies en-
gagged in interstate commerce. The
board now has chief inspector and
four district inspectors. These in
spectors, under the new setup, also
will be on the alert for violations.
Will Submit Quarterly Reports.
The District board will be re-
imbursed for enforcement expenses
by the Wage and Hour Division and
Children's Bureau. The board will
submit quarterly reports. After
notifying the board, these two agen-
cies will be free at any time to
make special or routine investiga-
tions of their own. Attorneys from
the Wage and Hour Division and
the Childrens Bureau will be avail
able for consultation with board
members on enforcement matters.
With the exception of suits by
employees for the recovery of wages
due, litigation resulting from in
vestigations will be conducted by
Federal officials in the District.

careful about using them as dump
ing grounds.
Mrs. c. D. Lowe said the trash
collectors should do a better job.
She said trash 1eceptacles were
tossed on the back lawns so care
lessly that shrubs and bushes were
injured.
"All the people in my neighbor-
hood" she said, keep tidy yards.
After the trash men come through
we have to clean up our yards and
the alley. All the trash men need
is to be checked up on. I think
they just get careless"
Mrs. Lowe also commented on
motorists who pitch whisky bottles
and papers out of their car win
dows.
Admiral C. r. Train, U. S. N, re-
tired, viewed The Stars cleanup
campaign as "a splendid method of
paving the way for the constructive
work of the Outdoor Cleanliness
Association" by preparing city Of
ficials and the general public to
join forces in the name of a clean
Washington.
He specifically criticized the care
lessness of Government employees
who eat their lunches under the
trees around the Federal buildings
and leave the trash behind.
Larger Appropriation Urxed.
Education of the public to do
their share toward keeping Wash
ington clean and a larger appro-
priation for the City Refuse De-
partment were viewed by Mrs. R.
Thomas West, secretary of the Out
door Cleanliness Association, as
prime needs.
"The police" she said, should
feel that 1t Is just as important to
keep the city clean as to be on the
lookout for other violations. There
are times when litter piled on the
street is just as serious an offense
as some minor trafiic violation"
Harry Wender, president of the
Southwest Citizens Association said
The Star campaign had served to
confirm the opinion of many WASH
ingtonians that their city is not as
clean as it might be.
His particular criticism was di-
rected against broken glass left in
the street. Because there is no
deposit on milk bottles, he said,
workmen on construction jobs eat
their lunches and toss the bottles
away, many times into the gutter.
Householders, too, he said, are care
less about disposing of the bottles.
Glass scattered in automobile acci-
dents, he added; is left on the street.
One bottle, he pointed out, can be-
come q thousand pieces Of danger
GUS glass. :.
He also suggested that police be
on the lookout for overloaded build
ing trucks which scatter coal, gravel,
bricks and sand along the street.

Two unauthorized trash collectors
were sentenced in Police Court to-
day to serve 10 days in Jail or pay
$40 fines for littering the streets, as
the court joined the campaign to
make Washington cleaner city.
The 5th police precinct. where the
arrests were made, reported a third
man had been taken in custody to-
day for the same offense, but had
elected to forfeit So collateral.
Unauthorized collection" charges
usually refer to the practice of rum
maging through the contents of a
refuse container. taking part of the
trash and leaving the rest scattered
about.
In sentencing the two, Judge
Walter J. Casey declared:
THE streets and alleys of the
District must be kept clean and the
beauty of the city must be preserved.
This offense leads to conc IS that
are not only unsightly but are po-
tentially dangerous from the stand
point of health
Stricter Enforcement.
The arrests were two of several
made within few hours after the
Commissioners ordered stricter en-
forcement of trash disposal laws
Saturday.
Cooperating with city officials to
clean up the city are members of
the Districts recently organized
Outdoor Cleanliness Association,
who met with the Commissioners
late last week to pledge their sup
port to the campaign.
Interviewed by The Star. they
commented on the carelessness OF
trash collectors and on the dam
gers of children playing in trash
left in alleys. They also discussed
the lack of adequate police enforce
ment of anti-litter ordinances and
the indifference of many Washing
tonians toward keeping their city in
more sanitary condition.
They praised The Stars cleanup
campaign for arousing the general
public. as we'll as the city's officials
on the unsightly picture the Nations
Capital presents.
People Declared Careless.
II don't think the District gov
ernment is doing enough about
keeping the city clean," said Capt
John r. Edie, U. S. N, retired. But
I also think the people themselves
are very careless. Lots Of them take
no interest in the appearance of the
city. They don't pay their taxes to
Washington and so they don't share
the burden of keeping Washington
clean. From the condition OF the
streets, too, there's no reason to
believe that the police pay any at
tention to the anti-litter ordi-
nances." ..-
He pointed out that people weren't
being very good citizens when they
tossed their trash on their neigh
bor's lawns.
Mrs. Ernest H. Daniel, president
of the District Federation Of Wom-
ems Clubs, said homemakers with
children should be especially inter-
ested In The Stars campaign. She
explained that children play In all
sorts Of unsightly areas. In no
neighborhood should any condition
exist that might be q breeding place
for disease where children might
play, she said.
Shrubs and Bushes Injured.
Mrs. Daniel urged that Washing
tonians take 1t upon themselves to
report all unsightly spots to the
proper city authorities. II people
knew these places would be re-
ported; she said, they would, b more

A Petty Thief at Large

Steps should be taken i'm
mediately to stop the series
Of robberies which have taken
place in this town during the
past six months OF more. At
least ten homes have been
broken into, and wearing APP
parel stolen. Some of these
homes have been entered two
or three times, and still there
is no clue as to the identity Of
the thief. Although nothing
of real value has been taken,
it is annoying to think OF
someone prowling about your
home when you leave for a
weekend OF an evening at the
movies. The citizens Of this
town should cooperate with
the police in tracking down
the person or persons respon-
sible for these robberies. Po-
lice should be notified immed-
lately, and all possible clues
exposed. Those leaving for q
weekend should be sure that
all entrances to the house are
securely locked. The citizens
and the police must work to-
gether to STOP THESE ROB
Berries AND CATCH THE
THIEF.

A Tree Planting Program

During the past decade,
Smyrna has lost a consider
able number Of trees. Part of
the charm of any town lies in
the number and beauty of its
trees. 1t would seem that
the civic pride of Smyrna cit
liens would prompt them to
form some plan or program
for three planting. For every
tree cut down, one should be
planted. AS an added incen-
tive, perhaps, the town of
Smyrna would plant a tree
for every one planted by a
citizen. In this way, the COM
munity could build up what it
has lost, and insure for the
future a town of charm and
beauty.
