DETENTON HOJS FGHT IS ENEWED Southwest Citjzens Continue Movement to Have Loca- tion Changed. The campaign of Southwest Wash- citizens to oust the House of tion from its present quarters took on added impetus last night, when, after a heated discussion, the citizens’ association of that section adopted a resolution protesting the location of the detention home at 908 B street, or in any other residential district. The meeting, in the Fairbrother Bchool, was largely attended, many of the members being forced to stand throughout the meeting or to take geats on the two stairways leading into the auditorium. Declared Evil Influence. The resolution finally adopted was introduced by Milton F. Barrett and charged that the House of Detention had been located in the best residential section of South Washington “in utter disregard of the people’s wishes, &nd without their consent, and has griev- ously interferred withstheir enjoyment of reasonable rights of ncrson and property.” In another paragraph it was declared that “the House of De- tention has had a bad influence on the social character and moral welfare of the community and has proved ex- tremely damaging to property values in the vicinity.” Copies of the resolution wil be sent to all citizens' associations in an effort to enlist their support, to the District Commissioners and to the chairmen of the Senate and House District com- mittees. Efforts of W. K. Wimsatt to secure the adoption of a resolution asking that, in addition to removing the deten- tion house, Congress be requested to make an investigation of the actions of "the District officials responsible for \the location were defeated by a vote of 43 to 21. Three Polls Taken. The discussion of the two resolu- tions became acrimonious at times and three polls were taken before the issue could be settled. The meeting was temporarily broken up when one man insisted that only paid members be permitted to vote. About 20 men and women who had previously ignored a request from the treasurer for dues walked up to the center table and paid the money which entitled them to a vote. Rev. C. H. Cannon, pastor of the Marvin M. E. Church, said the House of Detention is “demora)izing to young vpeople in its vicinity and a menace to the religious welfare of any community. “I live next door to this penal in- stitution,” he said, “and one day I saw four small boys standing at a window watching four girls who were being held insid e. “One of the youngsters was discuss- ing “the plight of the girl in the biue dress’ and hazarding guesses as to who she had been out with last night. “This sort if thing,” Dr. Cannon declared, “is what we can expect regu- larly if the House of Detention is per- mitted to keep its present quarters.” Dr. Ballou Criticized. Dr. Prank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, was severely criticized for refusing to procure a new site for the Jefferson Junior High School in South ‘Washington because “he feared the commercial encroachment would even- tually drive residents to other sections. ‘The chairman of the school commit- tee reported that the present junior high school in the Southwest section is located at and D streets, within 75 feet of & ht yard through which 4000 cars pass daily. It was also charged that the school was built in 1872 and 20 years ago_was declared by to be a fire hazard and unfit' urposes. % Hall was elected president of the association. J. M. Schaffer was chosen vice president, Mrs. C. H. Knight, secretary; Mrs. E. Davis, treasurer, and George Frazier, delegate to the federation. PRESIDENT INFORMED OF DISTRICT G. 0. P.

You LOG CABIN - SYRUP AUSTRALIAN DOCK ‘STRIKE RESUMED Waterside Workers Put Up Fight Against “Two Pick- Ups” System. By the Associated Press. MELBOURNE, Australia, September 20.—Strike of the waterside workers broke out again yesterday with the men in most ports refusing jobs under the “two pick-ups” system. Shipowners de- cided to advertise for volunteer labor, declaring their determination to end the mix-up and appealing to the com- munity to support their efforts to main- tain the transport service. The two “pick-ups” system was pro- vided for in the award of an arbitra- tion court. Under it the employers take on labor from the crowd of applicants twice daily. The workers at first re- fused to work under the system, in- sisting that only one “pick-up” should be made each day. Later they returned to work, so yesterday's walkout was the second in two weeks. At Adelaide the use of volunteer labor started and leading business men urged their employes to enroll. The rural dis- trict police have been warned to hold themselves in readiness for a call to the city.
