FRICTION PROBABLE.
Government May Come Into Conflict
With Labor Unions.

Exceptions taken by President George B.
Gubbins of the Bricklayers' and Masons
International Union of America to a clause
in the constitution Of the local bricklayers
union. relative to the employment of its
members on government work not con-
tracted for" Is likely to produce friction
between the union and the United States
government. Recently the local body re-
vised and amended it's constitution.
The laws of the international union re-
quire that a constitution or bylaws of an
affiliated body is absolutely ineffective I'M
less approved by the International presi-
dent, whose action on such matters is per-
emptory. Accordingly a copy of the re-
vised and amended constitution of the local
| body was transmitted to President Gubbins
at Chicago, Ill.
In reviewing the document he took OK
ception to the section to the effect that no
| member of this union be permitted. except
on government work not contracted for, to
work with journeyman bricklayer who is
not member of this union.
The constitution was accordingly returned
to the local union. and Its attention was
called to the objection relative to the sec
ton named. In reply the local union off,
| GERS assured President Gubbins that that
section had been in their constitution for
number of years past; that this was the
first time any question arose over 1t, and
that they had considered 1t to be to the best
such provision inserted.
President Gubbins, it is saio refused to
| accept this argument, and informed the
local officials that unless the section was
revised. leaving out the phrase except
government work not contracted for. the
constitution Of the local union would not
be recognized by the international union
nor would 1t be operative.
In conformity to the ruling of President
Gubbns, the local union has appointed
committee to redraft the constitution, with
instructions to eradicate the Objectionable
phrase. When completed the document Will
be submitted to President Gubbins for his
approval. which, IL given, will call for
ruling by the government with regard to
union labor
If the government officials repudiate the
labor organization 1t will pc the signal for
bricklayers and masons strike on all
non-union workmenf employed. Among
other buildings which such a strike will at
feet is the New War College in the arsenal
grounds, and those at the Washington navy
ward. ? .5'ftc@

The supervising steamboat inspectors OF

and New York avenue. They have peen
called together by Secretary Shaw to DIS
cuss modern regulations for the govern
,nent of the service In which they are en-

Assistant Secretary Armstrong welcomed

there would be many conferences and much
good accomplished. With one exception,

manufacturing concerns in the District.
A majority of these concerns are operated
by large consumers OF their own product
and the ice produced is used exclusively by
the producer. There are several ice manu-
facturers, however who make business OF
the sale of ice as we'll as other products,
and have been able to work up a consider
able trade in the commodity. The result Is
that large quantity of ice from the in
dependent dealers Is sold in competition
with that Of the ice trust and both classes
of dealers are required to make their prices
meet competition.
Owing to the size of Washington, as COM
pared with the larger cities where the trust
is said to have secured firm hold, 1t is not
difficult for the small Independent dealers

THE PRICE OF ICE.
No Immediate Prospect of Increase in
Cost of Product Here.

According to statements made today,
there is no immediate prospect of a rise i'm
the price of Ice in Washington. such as has
been the experience of other cities. Just
why this situation should exist here the
ice magnates do not explain except to say
that there is plenty OF ice and no prospect
of a shortage.
One OF the reasons which probably oper-
ates against the rise of prices in this COM
modify lies In the fact that there are many

to maintain a position here and work up
quite a trade. especially when they do this
in connection with other business enter
prises.
In other cities, however, the situation is
not so bright In Philadelphia the price has
advanced somewhat and an advance has
also been made in New York. In the lat
ter city the ice dealers have combined
against the trust and have condemned its
action in raising the price because they
state, ice is more plentiful than ever be-
fore and there is no reason for rise in the

THE ART OF TRUNK PACKING

u LIEN TERRY has a French maid
+ who has reduced trunk packing
to a science.
She puts three times the quantity of
clothing into a given space that the
ordinary packer does: and it comes out
looking UNNECESSARILY better.
Her method may be. Of practical in
terest In this present season Of pack
ing and Hitting.
At the bottom of the trunk she ar
ranges all OF the lingerie Each gar
ment is folded as smooth as deft
French fingers can make il. and two
light bands OF elastic are passed
around il. IT looks, after receiving all

Every article has its linen slip. Each

lace. is incased in a covering Of the
kind. When everything has been
swathed in this way a layer of news
papers is spread on top.
The bottles ana other breaka bles are
put in the center OF the trunk. Here
are arranged powder cases. cold cream
jars or boxes and the like Each bot
tie has its cork secured by wire; IL is
afterwards covered with an individual
bag
The inexperienced packer is likely to
adopt just the opposite arrangement
She twists a handful Of paper around a
bottle. leaves the cork unsecured ana
sticks it in some corner close to the
sides of the trunk-the worst place for
conclusion.
