To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Referring TO the article on the ventilation Of
churches let me, an advocate of ventilation,
say few words about the poor ventilation of
the various departments in this city, especially
the Department of the Interior. In converse
ton with one Of the ianitors of that department
was told that it was a general order that all
the windows should be put down tightly i'm
mediately after Office hours and remain in that
condition until the following morning at 9 a. M.
the timefor the clerks TO be at their desks. This
order has been in operation for many years to
the detriment of the clerks. The reason
given for this order is that there is a likelihood
of some valuable papers being blown away or
otherwise injured by the changeable weather.
This injustice to the clerks should certainly be
remedied and there would not probably be so
much sickness among the clerks. which is due
to inhaling the terrible atmosphere. There is
a large force of watchmen employed in all the
departments who could easily attend to the
ventiatIon,t and in case Of a coming storm
could very readily lower the windows before
any damage could be done. And as to the
valuable papers an order could be issued that
all clerks should be required before leaving
their desks to put away all papers of value. s.

night and presented him copy of the follow
ing resolution passed by their organization:
Whereas inasmuch as there is 10 be IN cleo
ton Of United States Senator in the state of
Connecticut and Joseph r. Hawley. the present
Senator from said state is candidate for re-
election: Therefore be it
Resolved, That this assembly 1887. knights
of Labor has always found Joseph r. Hawley
ready and willing to help the working classes
and the cause Of labor, and that We consider
that the interests OF labor would be best served
by the returning him to the Senate, and we re-
quest all locals to assist him.
In the fight made several years ago to intro
duce machine printing in the bureau of en-
craving and printing Senator Hawley was
foremost advocate of hand printers. whose
cause finally triumphed, ard this action of their
assembly was an expression of their appreciation
Of the Senat or labor in their behalf

Mr.. Enloe Wants the Committee's Resolu-

tion, ~ to MT. Raurn. Acted on.
Representative Enloe, who assisted in con-
Quoting the prosecution in the investigation
into the charges against the admiuisrs-
ton OF the pension Office at the last
session Of Congress, has returned 10 Wassa-
ington. II will be remembered that the
majority Of the committee which conducted
the investigation. reported a resolution
reciting that it is the judgment of
the House that Commissioner Raum
should be removed from Office by the
President. The report was not considered bv
the House at its last session. Mr. Enloe Is Of
opinion that the sentiment Of the House
ought to be obtained on the committee res
olution and he said today that he expects
to ask the committee on rules to set
asile today for its consideration. This, he
hopes. will be done some time next week. Al
though report has been made to the House
the committee has not yet been discharged.
and II is probable that Mr. Enloe will
ask it to continue the investigation. He
thinks that some action should be taken by
Congress that will result In looping off from
the pension rolls the names of O great number
OF persons which have no right there. The
necessity OF recommending legislation that
will bring about this result will be
urged upon the committee when il meets again,
and Mr.. Enloe hopes that the investigation will
be continued with a view to ascertaining the
best means to be adopted for the accomplish
ment OF the purposes he has in view
