Hon. WIN. CAMPBELL, Charles Town,
w. Va.-Dear SW:-I have just re-
ceived your favor Of the llth inst, and
note that you say that it is claimed that
the House Journal is inaccurate in show
ing that Mr. Hurst voted in favor of the
Storer College appropriation. Ordinar'
lily such a statement as that might go
unChallenSed, as it is impossible to say
that in every instance the vote IS re-
corded with absolute accuracy; but in
this particular instance am quite GER
tain that the vote is recorded exactly as
it was, because | recall very distinctly a
circumstance which impreSSes the mat
ter on my mind. If Mr.. Hurst should
request me TO do so, | think | can re-
fresh his recollection of the matter: but
in the absence of such request | would
not feel warranted in saying more than
that the record of the vote in question
is, as to Mr.. Hurst, entirely accurate.
Yours truly, w. +. r. BYRNE.

''rhe work proposed for the present yeaI
includes rev toilet facilities at the Grant
building, new rear building and iron sew
ers in the Force, and replacement OF an
tiuuated plumbing in the Gales and Gar
net schools, as well as many repairs OF mi
nor nature and the installation Of addition
al small fixtures.
Warrants were sworn out in twenty
four cases involving violation of the plumb
ings laws, and in eleven of these cases
brought 10 trial, fines were imposed by the
court, being In one instance only above SO.
OF the remaining cases, one unregistered
plumber was not apprehended, four for
feited collateral rather than stand trial,
three were found guilty and released on
personal bonds, three were found not gull
ty, and two cases were nol-prossed on
account OF compliance before trial with the
requirements made. IL Is regretted that
heavier fines were not imposed In clear
cases. as the difficulty of securing evidence
and absolute identification is great, and
the present low penalties do not appear to
deter the convicted ones from again doing
plumbing work in an improper manner, to
the serious detriment of the community.
THE improvements now in progress OF
the street space at the intersection of Sew
anth and c Streets with Louisiana Avenue
northwest and the admitted necessity for
public convenience buildings suggest the
desirability of using a portion OF the area
TO be enclosed for the location of public
comfort station. A site at the point for
such a structure would be an exceptionally
convenient one entirely under ;he juris-
diCtion Of the Commissioners. and | recon-
mend that an appropriation for this pur-
pose be requested.
"A change in the personnel OF the Office
occurred through the resignation on June
% of John ]. Ryan, Inspector of Gas Fit
tiyg. and the appointment of William H..
Marsh 10 the vacancy. The Office force
was temporarily increased by the detail of
the corps of five hydrant inspectors.
whose terms Of service were various, the
maximum being about six months
The promotion of one of the Assistant
Inspectors from $1,000 10 $1,000 was made
possible by the provision of the App-oprig-
ton act for the current year, and affords
some recognition of the responsibilities
borne by these men.
1T is necessary for the satisfactory max
ing of the final tests OF completed plumbing
work. and the giving of proper attention
TO the execution Of plumbing in buildings
owned by the District, that the field force
be increased by provision for another in
spector for the performance of these ad-
ditional duties"

TO REUNI1'E THE TRADES
Agreement for Adjusting Differ
enees May Be Reached Today.
A Joint Meeting of the Committees
Who Have the Matter in Hand-It
Is Understood That Opposition to
the knights of Labor Will BE
Witbdrawn-OriGin of the Trouble.

The committees representing the Gem
trail Labor Union and the two building
trades council will meet today to for
mulate plans for the settlement of the
differences between the local factions Vi
the building trades.
These committees, which are composed
of three members from each of the organ
izations named. met some time ago and
submitted eight propositions as a basis
for the settlement of the troubles. The
propositions were submitted to the two
organizations composed OF building trades
unions at their meeting last Tuesday
night The organization which met at
Mechanics Hall and is presided over by
John Fitzgerald accepted the terms pro-
posed as a whole. The other organiza-
ton. which met at Typographical Temple,
also accepted the terms, with some slight
amendments which, It is claimed, will not
be Objectionable TO the other faction Of
the building trades.
While the terms Of agreement have not
been made public ii is understood that
one of them refers to the admissibilty of
building trades organizations affiliated
with the Knights OF Labor to membership
in the local Building Trades Council While
IL vas a discussion of this subject which
resulted in the disruption of the Building
Trades Council in March last, it is said
that now there will be no objection raised
TO Knights of Labor assemblies becoming
affiliated with the new council. Since the
division OF the building trades into two
factions more than one Knight of Labor
Assembly OF the building trades has be-
come connected with one of the factions.
These assemblies. It IL stated are very
rong numerically, and are necessary to
the proper organization OF the building
trades Some years seo both the trades
unionists and Knights OF Labor building
trades worked tremendously in one or
ganization of building trades, but in 1896
after the latter had withdrawn the coun-
Gil ~Sopted n resolution prohibiting
knights of Labor assemblies from mem
bership.
At the conference TO be held today It
is expected that the plans for the re-
union of tie two factions OF building
trades Will be so modified ms to be accept
able to both. In the event that this is
accomplished, 1t will not require much
time for a reorganization of the trades, as
it is understood both factions are very
anxious for an early settlement of their
differences.
