houSekeepers" could be increased by
at least so per cent if the residents
would do a reasonable part of their
share in cooperating to keep the
city clean.
He figures further that Congress
will deal more generously with the
City Refuse Department if Wash
ington makes up its mind to clean
up itself. The very pressure of the
idea, he says, will of its own sell
bring about larger budget.
Mr.. BeerboWer's intense interest
in a cleaner Washington goes back
to the childhood he spent here
When he went away after the war
he carried with him the picture OF
a beautiful city enhanced by its
cleanliness"
Returning to Washington three
years ago, he was appalled, by the
evidence of bad housekeeping" he
saw at every turn.
Crisis Is Reached.
Things came to a crisis last
Thanksgiving Day when Mr.. Beer
bower and his wife chanced to stroll
down Connecticut avenue. 1t was
a beautiful day but windy, he says
and empty cigarette packages, candy
wrappers and newspapers were
blown in his face.
He Joined the Board of Trade anc
at the first meeting of the Highway
Committee agreed to head a grour
to clean up Washington.
His whole idea stems from thu
belief that, given a little instruc-
tio1 OIL ways and means, the people
will clean up their city.
He admits that he's idealistic but
lately he has been reading about
Simon Bolivar. the South American
patriot. and that gives him the
courage of his blueprints.
Bolivar" he says. was a most
idealiStic fellow. He knew that wher
he died all he had worked for would
bog down and he said, I have
ploughed an ocean But he hadn't
you see, because all his visions have
worked out.
Besides, it's fun ploughing ar

now employed are limited to shifts
of no more than eight hours work a
day. department officials said.
Health Center Funds Urged.
Need for funds for provision of a
health center in the lower Northwest
section of the city, where the Incl
dence of contagious diseases is the
highest. was reiterated yesterday by
health officials. The Commissioners
said weeks ago they would seek pro-
vision of funds for the next fiscal
year sufficient at least to meet the
cost of providing a site for this
center. They also approved need
for construction of the building, but
said they must wait to see how the
whole budget shapes up.
One of the new ward buildings at
Gallinger, opened during the last
year, is devoted to tuberculosis cases
and the other to general medical
cases. When they were built it was
thought Gallinger's construction
needs would be met for some years
to come, but Health Department
officials yesterday said the unex-
pected patient demands of the last
winter months had exceeded all ex-
pectations.
Yesterday the patient load
amounted to 1,18O persons, DR.. Edgar
A. Bocock, Gallinger superintendent,
reported. The highest level of the
last winter was 1,27O patients. The
daily average for last March was
1926; the daily average for the fis-
cal year ended June 80, 1910, was
910 and the daily average patient
load for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1889, was 879.
Opening of the two new ward
buildings last year was supposed to
have permitted closing down of use
of the several old frame buildings
that date back to Civil War days,
but this was not found feasible. Only
one VI IueSe, IWO-SUOTy frame al
fair, was freed of patients, but still
is used for storage. officials said yes
terday. DR.. Seckinger said the net
gain in number of beds, resulting
from opening of the two new ward
buildings was about 300 beds, and
that the winter increase in patient
loads had about covered" the next
increase in patient load.

Delegates Fred Walker of Park View
and Charles Maize of Kenilworth,
who favored change-over to nat
ural gas. The discussion included
considerable comment from other
delegates on the size of their gas
| bills.
Gas Report Defended.
Chairman Milo Brinkley of the
Utilities Committee defended the
report on the grounds that it did
not close the door to naural gas
when it is shown in the public in
terest. Main arguments of the
committee report were that the gas
would have to be piped by a single
pipe some 400 miles across 72 noun
tains, under 10 rivers and 216
creeks, thus leaving the city at the
mercy of sabotage or other break
down in supply, and only 20 per
cent of the gas consumers would be
affected by rate reductions by
the change, since it would affect
only those using gas to heat their
homes.
Other action called for the replace
ment of the small Capital Transit
buses as soon as practicable because
of their age and the inconvenience
of riding conditions in them, and
that no change be made in the fare
and transfer setup now prevailing.
Dumont Beerbower, chairman of
the Board of Trades Committee on
City Cleanliness, urged the Fedora
ton to cooperate in good neigh
Dor" program to clean the city
streets.
The delegates also voted partici-
patton in the celebration OF the lay
ing of the city cornerstone in 1871.
The celebration is set for April Is

Court Bans Pickets
Al Hosiery Plant
In Martinsburg
Injunction Obtoined
By Non-Striking Men
Against c. |. O. Union

Hv tbs Associated Press.
MARTINSBURG, w. Va, April 5
Three hundred and ten non-
striking employees of the interviewer
Stocking Co. obtained an injunction
today restraining the American
Federation of Hosiery Workers &C
!. o. from unlawful mass picketing
or "in any way preventing the
plaintiffs from entering the company
property"
Union President Julian Caldwell
said his group will seek dissolution
of the injunction "as an unnecessary
restriction of union activities
Sheriff Howard Myers served the
restraining order on the union, its
officers and 100 members specifically
named in the action.
G. w. F. Mulliss. vice president
and plant manager, said the plant
would be open Monday for those
wishing to report for work 1t has
operated with a reduced force since
the strike was called March 81. The
plant normally employs about 1900
persons.
Continuance of Strike Voted.
Issuance of the injunction by Cir
cult Judge D. H Rodgers followed
closely an announcement by Mr..
Caldwell that union members had
voted unanimously last night to
continue the strike.
Negotiations looking to its settle
ment reached a deadlock yesterday
after a conference adjourned with
out fixing a time for resuming con-
ferences.
The company said in a statement
that demands for a union shop
clause" in any contract were again"
turned down.
The union statement said the
company's failure to make any con-
cessions on demands for the pro
tective union" shop, seniority rights
and a weeks vacation with pay
seemed to leave no basis for further
talks.
Agreement on Raise.
Both sides have agreed on a 10
per cent wage increase. The union
had asked a fiat 20 per cent raise
and the company had offered 5 per
cent April and another per cent
July |.
Four striking employees posted
bond today for their appearance
next week to answer charges of OBJ
structing movement of traffic on a
public thoroughfare. They were ar
rested by State police yesterday as
they were picketing the plant.
A skeleton picket line was main
tanned today despite the fact the
plant does not operate on Saturdays.
