. 38 MOVES T0 RETAIN SOUTHERN OFFICES Chamber of Commerce Acts to Keep Headquarters of Railway Here. The board of directors of the Wash fngton Chamber of Commerce last night launched & definite campaign to prevent the acquisition of the South: ern Railway Building, at Thirteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, for use by the District government in its, projected building expansion, which ition, it has been reported, would result in removal from this city of the general headquarters of the railroad By unanimous vete the board yected that a special cu members investigate tk fer with officials of the railroad and of the city government and report to the full meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce to be held January 18 In presenting the matter to the| board, Martin A. Leese, president of the chamber, declared he was informed the removal of the Southern Railway offices from Washington would mean the loss of an annual payroll totaling | nearly $5,000,000, now spent here, as well as c g the 0 local em- ploves of the road either to give up their jobs with the organization or lose their local residences. Other Cities Making Bids. While officials of the railway say they now have no plans for moving the general offices to another city, M 1Leese told the chamber directo well known that already commercial} and official bodies of a number of other cities on the Southern route are bidding for the location of the head- quarters should the present building be taken over by the Government. Mr. Leese, as head of the Chamber of Commerce, together with E. C. Graham, representing the Washington Board of Trade, and Ross P. Andrews of the Mercha and Manufacturers’ Associatio ntly held & confer- ence with Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern Railway. He told them, according to Mr. Leese, that if the Federal Government seeks to take over the property ' > road will make no objection. It was inthmated, how- ever, that strong opposition is felt to- ward any proposal that the District government acquire the building as an adjunct to the present District Build ing while there is other lapd more easily available for the same purpose. The action was brought before the chamber board following reading of a petition to Congress which was drafted in the name of the 2,200 Southern clerks by the Washington Lodge, No. 943, Brotherhood of the Railway Clerks, asking that the House and Senate defeat any bill providing ex- propriation of the rallway property. Employes in Protest. The petition states, in part, that the removal of the offices of the railway from the District “will affect the busi- ness interests of the District to the extent of an annual payroll amounting to $4,400,000, which will be with. drawn,” and that the transfer “will seriously affect the 2,200 employes and thalr families, aggregating approxi- mwtely &,000 people, many of whom either own or are buying their homes, which they must sacrifice or give up.” The board of directors of the cham- ber last night also took action to limit the amount of money which is appro- priated by the board as gifts to chari- tahle causes.
