CITIZENS ATTAC NAVY YARD LAY-OFF Lincoln Park Association Fails to Approve Five-Day- Week Plan in Meeting. Full co-operation with the Southeast Citizens’ Association in & combined ef- fort to stop the laying-off of machin- #sts at the Navy Yard was voted last t in a resolution by the Lincoln k Citizens' Association, meeting in | #he Maury School. The association went so far in its ¥emands as to pass a_motion favoring eommunication with President Hoover an effort to get him to intervene in e cause of the machinists. The asso- elation was unanimously in favor of these motions. Indorsement of the pending congres- | nal amendment to the traffic code hich would impose more severe sen- fences on motorists convicted of driv- while drunk was made by the asso- clation. Several enthusiastic speeches were made by members of the associa- tion in approbation of this measure, de- elaring they saw in it a possible means of lowering traffic fatalities, especially #s regards children. The association failed to approve a motion made favoring the five-day-week plan, following a speech by Alfred D. Calvert, a Government Printing Office | employe and former president of the | Typographical Union of Philadelphia. Mr. Calvert bitterly attacked the meas- | ure as presaging the employment of all men over 40 years of age. The mo- tion was not seconded and came to no vote. The association also_urged the Jocation of the new War Department for East Capitol street. KILLING PIGS.

But if the defendant is a Kulak— rich peasant farmer—he not only must the fine, but his cattle are subject confiscation and he may be im- prisoned or exiled for two years.

Rosenbach, historian and art ‘collector of this city.
