COMPLAINT AGAINST RAILWAY.
Alleged That Union Men Have Been
DISCHARGED without Cause.

The attitude of the Washington Traction
and Electric Railway Company toward its
organized empiC was discussed at the
meeting of Central Labor Union, which was
held last evening at Typographical Temple
The matter was brought to the attention of
the body during the reports of grievances
when it was stated that since the formation
of union, about three months ago, a num-
Der of the members have from time to time
been discharged without apparent or stated
reasons. 1t is alleged that recently the
secretary of the union was summarily dis
charged by a superintendent who when
questioned refused to state the reason for
his action
1t was decided at the meeting last evening
to ascertain if possible, the reason for the
discharge of the union employees particu-
larly that of the secretary of the organiZa-
ton and a committee was appointed to
confer with President McDermott and Vice
President IIarries relative to the matter.
In response to an invitation extended sew
eral weeks ago to Painters Assembly. 1898,
knights of Labor, to become allied with the
national organization of that craft, a letter
was read from the secretary of the assem-
bly,, stating that ''it has no reason or desire
to make any changes.
A communication was read from Edward
J. Ratigan, president of the local Building
Trades Council, stating that representatives
from a sufficient number of organizations
having desired that the council reconvene,
a meeting of that body will be held at Cos
telios Hall, 6l0 G street northwest, Tues
day evening, February 25.
1t decided to employ business agent
to secure contracts for the employment of
union labor and w. Il. Kennedy of the
brotherhood of Electrical Workers was
chosen Tor that position.

employed in various breweries have re-
Gently organized union under charter

CAN FOOD DO TT?
IMPORTANCE OF THE FOOD CURE

To discover food that will cure nervous
wreck is indeed a godsend. Mrs. Stella Penal,
1927 West 31st ST., Los Angeles Cal. had a very
remarkable experience. She says: about twelve
years ago was run by carriage and my
spine injured. My left was partially para
lyzed, walking was difficult and had continual
pains and aches in my whole body.
''To induce a movement Of the bowels fnvari-
ably had to resort to mechanical means. would

RESULT OF COLD SNAP.
Increase in the Demands Upon the o.
EaniZed Charities.


What promises to be one of the coldest
weather snaps of the winter was blown in
from the northwest last night by a strong
wind which reached a gale-like velocity
at times. The chill blasts and the de-
cided drop in temperature, bringing dis
comfort even to the well clad and COM
fortably housed, brings to the poor and des-
titute people of the capital a great deal of
suffering, and the agents of the local cnari-
ties are working harder today, perhaps
that at any time since the cold weather
began.
There has been quite a blizzard III Chi
cago and other northwestern points, but no
extreme increase in temperature is expected
here as result of the disturbances in those
quarters.
The relief of the poor causes a continual
drain upon the treasures of the charities,
and, therefore, necesSitateS a steady inflow
of subscriptions Washington bears the
reputa tion of taking excellent care of the
destitute. and heretofore the funds sub
scribed have been sufficient to meet the
needs. The charity organizations find it
necessary only occasionally to remind the
people of the community's charges to Sc
cure quick response.
Mr.. John Joy Edison. treasurer of the AS
sociated Charities. acknowledges receipt of
the following additional contributions:
