To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Sir: 1 would like to ask through the COL
umns of your paper why the employees at
the United States gun factory were dis
eliminated against at the time of the bury
ing of our dead heroes on April 6?
The shops in the yard Were ordered to be
closed. The employees thought that they
would surely get pay for the half day lost.
as in all the other government depart
ments, but today they received their pay
and found they We're locked for a half of
a day.
A great many of the employees were not
able to lose the time to honor our dead. as
the pay is comparatively small.
/ do not think 1t was the intention of
our President for any of the government
employees to be Disseminated against in the
PRONUNCIATION of the order, as 1T was broad
enough to take in all classes in the folds
of ii. l believe when this is brought to
his attention the injustice will be righted.
On the day that the order was issued
ordering the shops to be closed, there had
been one issued previously, the contents of
which, viz: That all employees that wished
to do honor to our dead heroes would be
excused without pay for half day. But
the last order made it compulsory for them
to lose the time
The question is: Was it the intention of
the department to make the employees lose
the time or are the naval officers In charge
of the gun factory responsible for the con-
struction of the Presidents order?
A great many of the employees seem to
think that 1t was a retaliation on the part
of the officers. as they endeavored to
keep from paying for extra time done In
excess OF the eight-hour law during our
late war, but Congress saw the justice in
the claim of the employees and passed a
bill making 1t law.
l, citizen of the United States, do not
think 1t wise for any political party to
discriminate against the laboring man, for
organized labor Is becoming more inteIli-
gent every year and are fast learning their
power in the ballot. CITIZEN

KNOWS NOTHING OF 1T.
DR.. Rockers Comment on Rumors
Concerning College of Cardinals.

Rev Dr. Rocker, secretary of the papal
legation in this city, was today asked by a
Star reporter regarding rumors that are
in general circulation concerning the op-
pointment of a representative of the United
States in the College of Cardinals at Rome.
DR.. Rocker replied
II have lately read numerous rumors re-
latng to various changes of this kind, but,
50 far as l know, there Is absolutely no
foundation for any of them. Twelve years
ago there was considerable talk of having
a representative of the United States in
the College of Cardinals. and believe there
was a greater possibility of it then than
there is at present. 1 have no idea that
any such action will be taken. but 1 know
nothing of it. There are twenty vacancies
in the College of Cardinals and the pope
may fill many of them next month, but no
one can anticipate what his action will
be-"
