The habitat of so many rare
species that it has given its name
to more birds than any other locality
in the world was pictured in natural
colors before members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society at Con-
stitution Hall last night.
The place is Cape San Lucas, on
the peninsula of Lower California.

tory, showed the pictures.
Near the little village at the cape
live the rare yellow footed gull,
white winged doves, vultures and
the carcara. which is the national
bird of Mexico, Mr.. Bailey told the
assembly.
Forests of cacti 20 to 30 feet high
growing in waterless wastes also
we're pictured. In that section, the
Towering season of cactus is in Au-
gust instead of the usual spring sea-
son, the lecturer said.
Mexican shark fishermen visit the
Pacific island of San Benedicto for
about six weeks out of the year, he
said. The meat is salted and eaten
and the fins exported to China.

Senator Norris Urges
Labor Chiefs 10 Act
On High Union Fees
Warns Public Opinion
May Force Congress
To Puss Harmful Law
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Norris, independent, OF
Nebraska today asked the presidents
of the A. F. L. and c. I. o. to pre-
vent local labor unions from COL
lecting what he called perfectly
outrageous" dues from defense
workers.
The Nebraskan declared that Il
such practices persisted, public
opinion might force Congress "to
pass legislation in regard to this
which may be injurious to labor s
cause"
Senator Norris, sponsor and sup
porter of much Federal labor legis-
lation, made his appeal by letters to
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
Philip Murray, president of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions.
The Senator said he was con-
tinually receiving complaints that
some unions were forcing defense
workers to pay admission fees run
ming as high as $3.50" and that the
general public is getting the idea
that laboring men have to pay
exorbitant fees to join a union. and
that these fees are taken out of
their salary, as they work"
He granted that many of the COM
plants might be exaggerated, but
stated that he had investigated and
learned some of the complaints are
true"
Conceding that most local unions
had control over their own dues
Senator Norris wrote that national
labor leaders do not condone this
practice" and should speak out pub
licly against it.

mission adopted one of two proposed
plans of treatment, but it was not
until 1918 that Congress took action
by creating commission to acquire
the land, all of which was in private
ownership. The act authorized ex-
penditure of s1,3OO,OOO for acquisi-
ton of the land, and from the fiscal
year 1917 through the fiscal year
1926 appropriations for purchases
were made, ranging in amount from
$50000 to S250,000 annually. The
money was divided, first on the
basis of $3.50 and later 60-40, be-
tween the United States and the
District. The authorized appropria-
tion of $1,300,000 was exhausted in
the fiscal year 1926. In the calendar
year 1925 the House passed a bill
appropriating 100000 of District
surplus revenues for additional park
way land purchase. The Senate
amended the bill to provide for shar-
ing the 100000 cost on a 6O-4O
basis between the United States and
the District, on the ground that the
undertaking had been thus far car
ried out as joint enterprise. The
conferees on the bill were unable to
agree, and fearing indefinite delay
should the bill fail in conference, the
Senate conferees finally yielded. A
large part of the cost of the land
acquisition, originally planned as a
joint enterprise between the District
and the National Government, was
thus placed on local taxpayers.
National Geological Park-This
scientific enterprise was begun as a
branch of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, and expenses were shared un-
der the $3.50, and later 60-4O, divi-
sion of expenses between the Ma
