LABOR MEN IN PLEA FOR BATHING SPACES Central Union Urges Survey of All Available Beaches for Informa- tion of Congress. Central Labor Union last mnight went on record, as the representative of “many thousands of users of the bathing beaches,” as an advocate of a plan whereby the District Com- missioners would survey available sites for beaches, reporting to Con- gress the results of the survey, with a statement as to the urgency of the need for this municipal accessory. The action was taken in the form of a resolution, which pointed out that facilities for public swimming and bathing, such as pools and bath- Ing beaches, are necessary in a city as large as Washington, and these forms of exercise improve the stand- ard of public health as well as pro- vide a wholesome amusement at the same time. “To be deprived of swimming and facilities,” continues the resolution, “is a peculiar hardship in Washington, with its almost tropi- cal heat in Summer, especially to the tens of thousands who cannot afford to go to the seashore and who have been wont to use the bathing beach in the Tidal Basin.” A copy of the resolution was sent to the Senate and House Distrfet committees and to Senator Norris of Nebraska.
