Following his return this mornings from a trip to New York city, Mr. Co lumbus began an Investigation of the order last Friday by the community labor board. His statement follows: "There Is absolutely no foundation for the announcement the latter part of last week of twenty-four lines of activity that would be clased'up as nonessential. I have made a thor ough Jnveatlgatlon of this, and find that tbe announcement was entirely without warrant, and has no founda tion In law or any other authority. lias No Authority. - "The community labor board of the District of Columbia has no authority to Issue 'such an. order or ruling as was published. In making this in vestigation I went to the highest sources of authority In various Gov ernment branches, but to a man, and a woman too for that matter, all dis claim any such Intention as was con templated In the announcement of last week. The community labor board ot the District of Columbia will hold a meeting this, afternoon following which I have no douht that an ex planation will be forthcoming. "The circumstance was most cn fcrtunate and should be" a warning to all concerned to watt until they know they are right before they go ahead.

Kline, chairman of the local community labor board, said the board had no authority under the law to compel any firm to release employes. I Both the statement by Mr. Kline ' and the one by Secretary Columbus are confirmatory of an article pub lished exclusively in The Times on Saturday last.
