BY HOWARD T. BAGGETT. Automatic distribution of the funds | for relief work collected from Govern- | ment employes among the relief or- ganizations of their respective. com- munities was advocated in a resolution ference last night, meeting at the United States Chamber of Commerce. Usder the plan which the conference advocates the funds collected by Pres- ident Hoover's committee headed by Gov. Thomas Campbel! would auto- matically go to the nearby communi- tlehx:nwmch the employes live in pro- po! to the contributions g:cdved from these employes, unless was specified otherwise. Campaign Approaches. With a campaign about to begin among all Federal workers for the allo- cating of one day's pay per month for the months of January, February and March to the relief fund to be raised this Winter for the aid of the idle, the matter of diverting back to communi- ties outside of Washington the share contributed by Federal workers living in those communitjes was brought up by W. B. Armsti , secretary of the conference. The resolution, proposed by Frederic P. Lee, which was adopted unanimously included a provision that the funds should be so distributed unless other- wise specified by the individual Gov- ernment employe, which left the way open for the employe to specify that it should go to unemployment aid in the District of Columbia if he desired. Col. Alvin B. Barber, chairman of the conference, appointed a committee consisting of Mr. Lee of Montgomery County, chairman; Mrs. C. S. Semones of Arlington County and M. M. McLean of Wi to seek from those. han- dling the Federal employes' campaign recognition of the principle enunciated in the resolution. $1,000,000 To Be Given. ~ It has been estimated that more than $1,000,000 would be collected from the Federal employes as a result of the campaign which was adopted 8s a sub- stitute for the original proposal of the Gifford Employment Commission that Federal employes share their jobs with of your nose and throatwith the mod- Yo “ R druggists.
