WILL URGE ANNEX {FOR WESTERN HIGH Scheol Authorities Also to Ask | for Athletic Field in Bud- F get—Other Plans. ‘ Construction of an addition to TWestern High School, one of the most serlously congested senfor institu- tions, probably will be provided for in the new school budget which school authorities are now framing. ‘4t was learned today from an au- thoritative source. An apsropriation fo. the purchase of property near the school for an athletic fieid also ls likely to be included in the estimates. The size of the proposed annex to ‘Western, it Is said, has not been defl- nitely determined.” It will be large enough, however, to insure adequate 'accommodations for the present stu- dent body. Several members of the board of education this week inspected the roperty adjoining Western, where it (18 proposed to erect the addition and 'to make an athletic field. The site suggested for the athletic fleld, it is understood, can be acquired at a rea- sonable consideration. Armstrong Also Too Small. Enlargemont of Armstrong Manual Training School. it was indicated, also will be provided for in the forth- coming budget. This school was built in 1902 to accommodate 300 students. It is now so overcrowded that six ortables will have to be uscd at the eginning of the new term in Septem- ber to provide quarters for the excess studen Five portables were used during the iast school year. 'An appropriation of about $900,000 will be inserted in the estimates to finish the new Eastern High School now under construction. The estimat- j ed cost of this institution, which, it is Other Moves in Doubt. Whether provisions for the rellef of elther Business or Tech High Schools will be carried in the budget school { officials have not definitely decided. Both of these schools are overcrowd- ed, and the alumni associations of ; each are engaged in a concerted cam- ! paign for new and larger buildings. If Tech officials voluntarily agree to a proposal to turn the present Business High School over to them, it is said, they may make recom- + mendations for the building of & new school for Business. Pay Increases to Be Urged. Substantial increases in salaries for iteachers and clerks in the public 8chools also will be provided for In the budget, the drafting of which will ‘be completed within the next two . weeks. It is required that the es 'tlrnnel be in the hands of the Com- missioners by August 1. OLD CASES TRANSFERRED. D. C. Supreme Court, Overrun With ‘Work, Calls on Municipal Court. The justices of the District Supreme Court have sent back to the Mul?lclnfll Court for trial twenty-four cases which have been on the dockets of the upper court by certiorari from the Municipal Court since the years 1917, 1918 and 1919. Under the new act enlarging the Jurisdiction of the Municipal Court, the Dractice of transferring cases to the District Supreme Court by certiorari has been abolished and provision is made for the return of the cases so transferred which had not been tried in_the District Supreme Court. There are probably 200 such cases Pending in the upper court, but the ;voluh is to send them back in small i batches so as not to swamp the - pal Court judges. » Mynial SEEKS MISSING BROTHER.

A decrease in employment of 2.9 per cent during Jume, as compared {with May, is indicated by a’survey {made by the Department of Labor of jreports from 1428 firms employing inormally 1,600,000 persons. The de- crease since January in these estah- lishments, situated in sixty-five prin- cipal industrial centers, has been 6.2 per cent, a statement said. industries reported decreased employment except those engaged in the manufacture of food products, textiles, leather, liquors and bever- ages, stone, clay, glass and tobacco. Causes for Depression. “Detailed examination of the pres. ent returns indicates clearly the fundamental causes of the protracted industrial depression and the mount- ing tide of unemployment,” the state- ment declared. *Continued unsatis- factory conditions of transportation, with freight rates in many cases con- sidered almost prohibitive; lack of anything like a normal foreign market; the present low value of farm produce, stagnation in iron and steel; high costs of construction and the general dullness of the retail trade stand out prominently as leading fac- tors in the situation.” ‘While there atill is an almost na- tion-wide housing shortage, the state- ment said, the only resumption of building operations noted has been on a restricted scale. Industry Optimistic. “Industry generally is optimistic,” the survey continues, “apd while the likelihood of a dull summer in al- most all lines is fully recognized, the tendency is to count on improvement by fall’ and a healthy though not spectacular business revival by the ight leading industries, represent- ed among the 1,400 odd plants report- Ing. recorded an aggreate decrease of 56,772 wage-earners, while six other BAND CONCERT.
