i ‘Al T “ABUSING OF POWER § 'BUREAU CHIEFS j 3 lls* Traffic Club Growing Police Power Conflicts -~ With Constitution. Government by “bureau chiefs” -Who are exercising a growing police power in contravention of the policies Tald down by the Constitution of the United States, was scored by Repre- rsentative Philip P. Campbell of Kang ®as in an address at the annual ban- quet of the Washington Traffic Club st night at the Raleigh Hotel. The club is made up of representatives of “anrvads cntering Washington and of heads of large business houses in this city. i : Representative Campbell said gov- ermment in the Tnited States has grown away from the principles o Eovernment laid down by the authors of the Constitution. He said there have gradually grown up a number of separate government bureaus and commissions all of which have dele- gated to thezaelves “police powers roE which théy have no constitutional ority. - : y must be cleaned out or wiped clean of their Jack of authority, Regpresentative Campbell said. “But will take a®eroic deed to do it, for ese bureaus and bureau chiefs like their jobs and will cling to them.” He said government is not perpetual sond ¢annot be perpetuated except by the common sense and wisdom of the people and their representatives. Hendrick Is Optimistic. Washington is getting a squarer deal from Congress and members of Congress are giving more attention 10 representatives of the city govern- ment at present than ever before. - Commissioner J. Thilman Hendrick said in gn address. Mr. Hendrick sounded a keynote of optimism in his address when he said the future never looked brighter for .Washington than it now does. He said hope and faith in the future of the city will radiate through the United States and make its effects felt upon members of Co: gress. .Persons resident in Washing- ton can have practically no effect on the continuity in office of members of Congress, Mr. Hendrick said.

Five men whose careers have had much to do with the exploration or development of the Arctic regions last night sat down to a “reindeer dinner” at a local restaurafit where a special menu had been prepared with reindeer meat from an Alaskan herd as the chief viand. The five were Vilhjalmur the world-famous explorer: efanason, E. Lorne and who in 1918 spent eight months on an Arctic ice pack: Dr. E. W. Nelson, chief of the biological survey that is promoting the use of reindeer in Alaska; W. C. Henderson, assistant chief, and Carl J. Lomen, host, who is the head of the Alaskan reindeer in- | dustry. . The meat last night was from Mr. Lomen's herd and was shipped to Washington in a frozen condition. Mr. Stefansson was especially interested in the e@casicn, for he is associated with the Hudsor Bay Company, which is now takiug 5,000 reindeer from Lap- 1and to Baffia Land, lying between Hud- son bay and the Atlantic ocean, where they expect to raise them for the world | markets. Mr. Lomen explained last night that the reindeer is a domestic animal and that its flesh does not have a “gamey” flavor which_distinguishes other deer meat. It has been described as having the juiciness of good beefsteak and something of the taste of venison. Reindeer were introduced into Alaska in 1892, and the herds there now total 200,000 The_territory is ready to market about 5,000 carcasses at pres- ent.

It was pointed out by Walter B. Pat- terson, director of special .'schools, Who has direct control over the Ham- ilton tuberculosis school, that this in- stitution has long been the target of sharp criticism by various persons and organizations in Washington. He claims that every improvement pos- sible on the meager appropriations al- lowed by Congress has been made at the school, and maintains that the conditions "there as described in the medical society committee’s report are not as deplorable as pictured. Dr. Joseph A. Murphy, supervising medical inspector of the public schools, denied the charges made in the report that the conditions at the school are insanitary and that the thirty-four pupils do not receive prop- er attention. He stated that there is nothing about the school which could have a detrimental effect upon the health of the children. of the medical society arged that the school more than forty years old and is damp and must Dr. Murphy declared that, although old, it is well renovated. The heating plant at the school, he said, is agreed by engineers to be the best possible for the purpose. Mr. Patterson made it clear that school officials are not averse to re- location of the school in a more ac- cessible point in the city and in a more modern building. He stated, however, that the necessary appro- priations cannot be obt Congress for a new building. If funds should be appropriated for a new school, he believes that public opposition would preclude the acqui- sition of a site for a school of this type in the city proper. On the other hand, Mr. Patferson is of the opinion that a tuberculosis school should be Ray- i lock last night. | placed in the suburbs where the pu- pils could get an abundance of fresh air.

APPROVAL IS GVEN TO WIRIMUM WAGE Chamber of Commerce Com- _mittee Vote Favors Nolan- Johnson Bill. Spirited discussion featured a meet- ing last night at which the law and legislation committee of the Wash- ington Chamber of Commerce adopted a resolution indorsing the Nolan- Johnson minimum wage bill, now be- fore the Senate. Sentiment for and against the bill question coiuld be reached until a vote had been taken on three resolutions. Those opposing the bill endeavored to make it plain that the opposition was not to the Increased salaries for gov- ernment employes, but because they believed the setting of such a mini- mum wage would be dangerous for other businesses outside of the gov- ernment. Keating Explains Measure. Edward Keating, former representa- tive from Colorado, pointed out that the bill was first introduced and pass- ed in the House of Representatives in 1913, and emphasized the fact that it could in no sense be considered a war measyre. He called attention to the decreamed value of the dollar, assert- ing that the dollar of 1913 was now worth only 50 cents. ““The minimum wage bill,” said Mr. Keating, “calls for 2 minimum salary ta every government employe of $1,080 per year, or $3 per day. The bill has been passed in the House repeatedly, but has been held up by a few men in_the Senate. “The main opposition to this legis- lation seems to be on the ground that the government should not pay $3 a day to a man if he is not effi- clent, and that at present it is pay- ing_high salaries to men who are loafing on the job. “The answer to thls iy simple,” contiriued Mr. Keating. “It lies mot in ‘decreased salaries, but increased salaries, ‘and if .the supervisory of- flolals are wot able to keep out the inefficient .4n government service it is an indictment of the government tien by Experts. that' 26 per cent of ' the joyernment employes in e_receiving less than $3 per day, Mr. Keating pointed out that, afteri extensive investigation by | experts of' the Department of Labor, $2,430 was set as the minimum that & family of five could live on.

The policemen and firemen of the District will receive a bonus of $120— the same they receive under existing law—under the provisions of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, as it will be re- ported to the full committee tomor- row by a subcommittee of the Senat appropriations committee, it Wwa learned last night. The bonus of $240 for employes of the federal government and of the District of Columbia, as rovided in existing law, has been restored to the bill also by the committee, with some modifications. These provisions must run_ the gantlet in the full committee. There is no opposition, it is said, among the committeemen to the adoption of the $240 bonus for the government em- ployes, and it s sure to be included in the bill when it is reported to the Sen:te. 3120 Bonus May Be Opposed. However, the proposal to grant the policemen and firemen the bonus of $120 may meet resistance, it is said. The policemen and firemen, it is point- ed out, were given substantial increases in pay by special legislation last year. The bonus given otheg employes was cui in two when it came to proyiding for the policemen and firemen, on <8« count of the increases in pay grantea them. The same reason Is given by the subcommittee now for not allowing them the full $240 bonus. Declare $240 Bonus Just. Friends of the policemen and the firemen, on the other hand, argue that they should be allowed the full bonus of $240, and point to the arduous and dangerous service in which these men are engaged.

The Maryland and Virgiwia farmers who supply Washington with milk decided at a meeting here yesterday to establish a co-operative plant in the Districe to absord the surplus of milk ana convert it into butter and cheese. According to an official of the pro- ducers’ association the venfwre will not be undertaken primarily for prciit, but to give the farmers a method for disposing of milk which they ship here in excess of the dairy- mén’s needs. Surplus Not Excessive. At present, this official stated, Washington consumes about 35.000 gallons of milk a day. There is at this time, he said, a surplus of pos- sibly a thousand gallons. This is not regarded by the farmers as a large i surplus when compared with the' city’s consumption. Under the existing system, the spokesman for the farmers said, some dairymen ship miik back to the farms when they find they are receiving more than their business requires With the proposed co-operative plant, the surplus milk would be made into by-products here instead of being returned to the farms. Offi- cials made it plain that the farmers do not_contemplate going Into the retail butter and cheese business. \ but probably will dispose of their g00ds wholesale. No Further Reduction Planned. No further reduction in the whole- sale price of milk was considered by the farmers at yesterday's meeting, which was held at 1731 I street, The producers oclaim they have reduced prices in the past two months from 44 to 36 cents per gallon to the local dairymen, which has resulted in two reductions in the retail price per quart. Milk is now retailing at 15 and 16 cents per guart, and some is being disposed of at 14 cents. —_— NINE SLEEP TO DEATH. Eighteen Cases of Strange Malady in Two Weeks in Cleveland.
