The association voted to join the Dis- trict Federation of Business Men's As- sociations following an address by Ar- t!:‘ur C. Smith, president of the feder- ation. Other specially invited speakers were Odell S. Smith chairman of the Public Order Committee of the Washington Board of Trade, and Capt. H. C. White- hurst, director of highways for the Dis- trict.

NAMED COUNSEL 2 TRACTION MERGER CHILD MARCHERS | DATA SOUGHT BY INTERFEDERATION Civic Bbdy Names Committee to Obtain Companies’ Views on Procedure. D. C. TAXICAB SITUATION DISCUSSED AT MEETING Bankers Reported Sympathetic, but Unwilling to Co-operate in Foreclosures. In an effort to assure a fair consid- eration of the traction merger problem, the Inter-Federation Conference last night voted to have a special sub- committee of the Merger Committee call upon the officials of the Capital n Co. and the Washington Railway & Electric Co. to obtain their views as to the logical method of pro- cedure. The conference also discussed the general traffic problem and the mortgage foreclosure situation. The committee to call upon the traction companies is composed of Col. A. B. Barber of Montgomery County, rge E. Sullivan of Washington and Robert N. Anderson of Arlington Coun- ty. It was formed upon the motion of Col. Barber, who expressed the opinion that most of thoa: tt!\:lerzeswdlmm the proposed merger of the two lines are not familiar with the actual problems of the two concerns. Places Blame on Companies. Sullivan, a-member of the Transpor- tatjon Committee of the Washi Chamber of Commerce, had attributed most of the d.lfllculfi:luol Lhtz Inctfin companies to their failure provide adequate service. If the companies had maintained satisfactory schedules, he declared, they would not have lost so much money to the taxicabs. He ex- pressed the opinion that the street car companies had not much longer to re- main in existence. In defense of the car lines, Col. Bar- ber pointed to the fact that they are still the largest employers in Washing- ton next to he Federal Government, and as such are deserving of every con- sideration. He did not agree that they are an absolete means of transport- tion that is doomed within the near fu- ture. The committee will report the result of its interviews at the Decem- ber. meeting. Discusses Taxi Situation. A general discussion was d in engage: with respect to the taxicab situation, Col. Barber pointing out that a survey by the United States Chamber of Com- merce had revealed without a doubt that the only way to control the unu: traffic is by having them met an 8 dissent mm that peop be of not risk a ride where it might be pos- sible for the driver to them a roundabout way in order to increase the fare, or where the driver was un- able to give a fair estimate of the cost of the ride. A further study of this situation and also of the proposal for the Federal Government to acquire the ‘Washington-Hoover Airport by lease for a municipal airport for the District of Columbia was ordered. Reports on Fereclosures. J. H. Coxhead of the District of Co- lumbia, chairman of & committee a number of bankers on the subject of lenlency during the nt financial crisis and found them sympathetic, but apparently unwiling to co-operate. It was the desire of the conference to have some definite information as to the number of foreclosures and a com- parison_of this number with those of more Prosperous years.

After that demonstra- tion, the plans call for a conference on “child misery.” Children to Be Attended. The Police Department hopes to pre- vent the demonstration through en- forcement of the District's juvenile delinquency laws, but Benjamin de- clared there would be no ground for such action, since the children would be in the custody of physicians, nurses and welfare workers who are coming to Washington to attend the ‘“child misery” conference. The children’s demonstration has been arranged, according to Benjamin, as 8 “mighty prelude” to the “national hunger march,” which will bring to Washington December 4 a minimum of 3,000 unemployed for a mass protest to Congress against existing economic con- ditions, together with an appeal for mlnter relief for the homeless and des- ute While in Washil the “hunger marchers” will hold a two-day conven- tion, but Benjamin has not yet found an auditorium large enough fo accom- modate them. His request for the use of the Washington Auditorium was de- nied, the management said, because the hall had been engaged indefinitely by the promoter of a dance marathon. Benjamin, however, blamed refusal on “police intimidation.” Other Halls “In Mind.” other halls “in mind,” but would not reveal them until one had been leased for fear of Police Department inter- ference. Representatives of the “hunger marchers” are now in Washington ac- tively soliciting funds and foods for the army during its three-day encamp- ment December 4, 5 and 6, although Benjamin insists he expects to force District and Federal authorities through | “mass pressure” to provide food and shelter. In addition to the hunger marchers, John Pace, chairman or the Veterans' Central Rank and File Committee, re- vealed in a telegram to President-elect Roosevelt, sent to the White House, that a large number of veterans are now en route to Washington to demand payment of the bonus during the com- ing sesslon of Congress. Pace will be remembered as leader of the radical ”‘len wing” of the bonus expeditionary orce. Governors Get Messages. The telegram demanded that Gov. Roosevelt take steps to have all tax exempt institutions, Y. M. C. A. build- ings and armories in New York State, opened for the accommodation of the veterans en route to Washington and that police be instructed not to interfere with them in any way. Similar mes- sages were wired to the Governors of other States along the route of march. In the meantime, W. W. Waters, com- . E. F., gave out a Fla., in an effort o t! from return- leader 5! the veterans in Wash- ington last Summer,” saild Waters, “I want to add my earnest protest against this movement. Another march would be pointless, futile and highly dangerous to society, especlally as the one at present being agitated, is headed by two of the most active American Com- munists. In fact, those two were early refused admittance to the ranks of the B. E. F. These men, Samuel Stember, and Emanuel Levin, should be scrupu- lously avoided by all loyal' American veterans and I cannot be too emphatic in warning all who believe in lJaw and order and common decency to refrain from joining this proposed march. “Move Served Purpose.” “The movement last Summer failed to obtain the bonus, but it served in full its purpose. That it was decidedly not Communistic in origin, in leader- ship or motive, have been clearly estab- lished. It provided the safety valve of a Nation for voicing mass protest against poverty and destitution.” Waters sent coples of his statement to the Governors of the 48 States on the theory that “the place to discourage another march is at the source.” PLAN JOINT SMOKER Colgate and Brown Alumni to Hear Radio Broadcast. ‘The local alumni associations of Col- gate and Brown Universities will hold & joint smoker at 11 a.m. Thursday, at which they will bear the radio broad- cast of Brown-Colgate foot ball game to be played in Providence, R.

In issuing the proclamation, Dr. Mar- vin requested a city-wide display of the American flag. The District Bi- centennial Commission, he announced, plans no public demonstration under its auspices so as not to conflict with individual ceremonies in churches and Thanksgiving programs in the homes. The appeal issued following a meet- ing of executive committee of the com- mission at noon today, follows: “Whereas, for our beginning people, heeding the strong, living voice of tradition, have devoted one day in each year as a day of thanksgiving. It seems particularly appropriate on the approaching Thanksgiving day in this Bicentennial year of the birth of George ‘Washington for the people of our Capi- tal City to return thanks for the great gift of Washington's life. “I therefore suggest that the citizens of the District of Columbia, meditation of their own fireside, in family gatherings and by participating in the religious services of their choice, or in other public assemblies or private gatherings to recall with grateful hearts on this Thanksgiving day our heritage from Washington. Concludes Thanksgiving ‘Day. “It has been the plan and purpose of the District of Columbia Commission, George Washington Bicentennial, to conclude on Thanksgiving day the local celebration of the birth of the Father of His Country, inaugurated with pub- lic jubilation at the east front of the Capitol on February 22 last. “To the end that the official activities of the District of Columbia Commis- sion, George Washington Bicentennial, should not conflict with any of the sev- eral gatherings to be keld in the Dis- trict of Columbia in honor of Washing- ton on Thanksgiving day, it has been decided to hold no public demonstration under the auspices of the commission. It is earnestly urged that all of our cit- izens display the national emblem on this day. “In accordance with what seems to be appropriate sentiment, however, I hereby invite the members of the Dis- trict of Columbia Commission, George ‘Washington Bicentennial, to assemble in the headquarters of the commission on the morning of Thanksgiving day, November 24, at 10 o'clock and thence to proceed in a body to lay a wreath at the base of the Washington Monument at 10:15 o'clock. “CLOYD HECK MARVIN, “President.” _— DR.

Because of necessary advance prepa- ration, Washington merchants decided upon concerted action weeks ago. In anticipation of the customary heavy Christmas buying, retallers began plac- ing their orders in far-off markets as early as last Spring.
