Based on the annual average increase of about 11,000 persons, judged by the Census Bureau to be the correct increase in population, Washington today has & population of nearly 570,000 persons. ‘The official estimate of the popula- tion of the city for July 1, 1928, was 552,000, but the bureau, following its usual custom, did not give out an esti- mate for July 1, 1929, explaining that it is not customary to issue a popula- tion estimate for the year preceding the taking of a bi-centennial census. Car- rying forward the increase of about 11,000 each year to July 1, 1929, the| 1 would be about 563.000 persons, and would be about 574,000 on July 1 next year. Estimates of the annual average increase are based on the average yearly increase in the previous 10-year census period. J. Sterling Moran, who will direct the force of several hundred census takers in the 1930 decennial census, is shaping his plans for the count, and several weeks prior to the date of beginning will have the census enumerators as- signed to cover certain districts and proceed with their task without confu- sion and overlapping. Robert A. Mat- tingly, now Judge Mattingly, was direc- tor of the census for the District of Columbia in 1920. In that year. the count_started on January 1, but next year it will not start until April 1. WHEAT TIME EXTENDED. Milling in Transit Privileges Are Increased by Railways, MINNEAPOLIS, December 5 (P).— Extension of the time limit for holding wheat under the milling in transit priv- {leges here has been granted by North- west railways with approval of the In- terstate Commerce Commission. Prank B. Townsend, director of the Minneapolis Traffic Association, said the ruling would enable flour mills to with- hold their product from depressing con- suming markets and also solve the prob- lem of grain congestion at the terminal markets. ‘The time limit was extended for four months, making it possible to hold wheat under the privilege for 28 months instead of two years without change in the through freight rate after it was tr‘:t:onll;rms as flour to Eastern destina- jons.

By the Associated Press CHICAGO, December 5 —Protestant churches in most cities of the country = were likely to be found in greater numbers on “the comfortable side of town,” Preparations are proceeding slowly at | James Myers, industrial secretary of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, said at the council's annual executive committee meeting yesterday. Myers, recently returned from the textile area of the South, warned that danger of a trend of industrial workers away from the church was by no means confined to that section. Textile workers of the South have been exceedingly religious, Myers said, | yet “in more than one situation the Southern worker and labor leaders said ‘they didn't know what to think about the churches any more,’ because the preachers— involved in the mill village system as they are—have been in most cases power- less to in revolt.” “In a few cases,” the speaker eon- tinued, “local mill village ministers have been known as ‘the worst enemies of the strikers,’ opposing the union when people in desperation adopted the strike as a last resort to remedy conditions which they felt to be intolerable. Such events can have but one result. Work- ers tend to lose their faith in the sin- cerity and integrity of the churches and cease to attend.” ‘The same danger of a trend of the working classes away from the church, he said, was found in the mining fields of Pennsylvania and Colorado and in the big cities, where contact was lacking between labor and church, do anything about the conditions against which these workers have been He advocated an extensive program in industrial relations on the Dp:g’ of the churches and a demonstration of unselfish interest in the welfare of in- duf,trlfl},wflEl;I:‘ers. Foli r. F. Ernest Johnson, secretary of the council's commission on res:i’:rch and education, sald organized religion could strengthen its hand by convine- ing the public that “we can be as loyal to the truth as secular scientists.” Questions such as prohibition, motion picture control, marriage and divorce, sex education and limitation of off- spring were cited as among those for which slight provision has been made by organized religion for “an unbiased exploration of fact.” Deaths Reported.
