CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Decline to Indorse the Firemen's
Strike

At the meeting Of the Central Labor
Union last evening that body decided not
to support the fremen who recently went
on strike at the Heurich Brewery. the
question was brought before the body by
a report of two Of the contract committee
which, after stating the cause of the strike,
recommended that the Central Labor
Union approve the action of the f1remen
and extend to them the moral support OF
organized labor" Several delegates Object
ed to receiving the report, 1t being contend
ed that as a majority of the committee
having dissented and refused to sign the
report that the statements and recommen-
dations were not submitted by the commit
tee, and therefore could not be considered
nv the Central Labor Union. After consid-
cradle discussion the body refused to &C
cept the report of the minority py vote
of " to AZ. The announcement or the vote
by the chair was loudly applauded ana
was regarded as a disapproval of the strike
by the central body. 1t was stated by the
firemen that organized labor and the pup
lie generally had been misinformed OF the
causes which provoked the strike, and q
motion was made for the appointment or
a special committee of seven to fully In
yestigate the whole affair and report at
| the meeting of the Central LABOR Union
next Monday evening During the discus
| sion Of the motion 1t was the generally ex-
pressed opinion of the delegates that an
investigation Is unnecessary and the motion
was defeated on a rising vote

Motor Madness.
from the New York Tribune.

fOm tne NEW 1OrK IFlbune.
1t is time to put stop to motor madness
We mean both kinds of madness, that OF
the begoggled "scorcher" who drives MS
locomotive at furious speed upon the high
way without regard for limb or life of him
self or of others, and also that OF those
or shoot bullets at the "scorching" law
breakers. The other day deputy sherin
fired with pistol at a motorman who was,
he says, going too fast and who refused to
stop when challenged. The local judge DIS
missed the charge against the motorman,
and now there is talk of action against the
deputy sheriff Doubtless 1t is not right to
shoot at motormen. or at their engines,
though it is not difficult to understand how
strong the provocation to do so is at times.
That form of madness must be checked.
But so must be checked the melting cause
Of 1t, which Is far more prevalent.

Permits to Ball Clubs.

Under the additional legislation granted
by the act last named a large number Of
permits have been granted each month to
play base ball upon that portion of the
monument grounds already set aside as
playground. In fact, requests for these
permits had become numerous that, with
the approval of the chief of engineers, the
large oval in the Presidents Park was in
April, 1904, added to the area available for
ball playing, and permits have been issued
since that date for the use of these grounds
for that purpose, their use being confined
to regularly organized clubs under suitable
restrictions. These new ball grounds are in
use every fair day, the games being wit
messed by large numbers of spectators.
Several years ago reservation 1876 at the
junction of Georgia and Virginia avenues
and l. street, between 9th and 18th streets
southeast. was graded, and has been al
lowed as a playground since. Reservation

for ball playing until it was shown to be
too small for the purpose

CITY PLAY GROUNDS

AN ANNUAL APPROPRIATION.
Government Reservations Where Ath

Games Permitted.

In his annual report Col. c. S. Cromwell,
superintendent of public buildings and
grounds, invites special attention to the
subject of "Children's Fairgrounds in the
District.
Persons interested In the well-being and
development of the inhabitants of cities
he says, ARE seeing more and more clearly
the necessity of providing places where
children and young people can take exer-
else and find innocent recreation, and the
great value thereof In developing health Of
body and mind in the citizens of the future.
Wherever Fairgrounds have been provided
the beneficial results have been Immediate

Benefits Of a Playground.

"A suitable playground draws children by
the hundreds from streets and alleys,
where their occupations and amusements
are of more or less questionable character.
and brings them together where, under the
care and control of suitable persons, they
can indulge in pleasant, innocent and In
teresting exercises competitions and games.
Many cities are quite advanced in this par
ticular matter, and some have expended
vast sums of money in providing these
Fairgrounds and breathing spots where
their crowded inhabitants can get a little
relief. The desirabiity of public play
grounds in Washington has been recognized
by Congress to a limited extent, as shown
by the two laws on the subject.
Act of Congress approved August 30,
1890 provides: The officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds may author
iZc the temporary use of a portion of the
monument grounds or grounds south of the
Executive Mansion or other reservations in
the District of Columbia for children's
playground under regulations to be pro-
scribed by him.
An act approved March q 1895, provides:
The officer in charge of public buildings
and grounds shall authorize the use of a
portion of the ground within the circle
south of the Executive Mansion for chill
dren's playground. under regulations to be
prescribed by him.
Under the authority granted a play
ground was set aside between street
| north and the main drive north of the
Washington monument. This contains
about eight acres, and is in use every pleas
ant day.
Act approved March 3, 19O3 provides:
| The officer in charge of public buildings
| and grounds may hereafter authorize the
temporary of the monument grounds or
grounds south of the Executive Mansion or
i other reservations in the District of Co
| lumbia for Fairgrounds for children and
| adults under regulations to be prescribed
by him.

On Smaller Reservations,

"On some of the smaller reservations GRO
quet has been permitted, and in compliance
with a recent request Dune, 1900 Of the
public Fairgrounds committee Of this city
reservation 294, at 9th, N and Water streets
southwest, and reservation 215, at Della
ware avenue. Sd and N streets southwest,
have been temporarily set aside as play
grounds for small children living in the
neighborhoods. While there are not many
parks or reservations where base ball or
foot ball or other games requiring much
space can be permitted, there are numbers
where the area is adequate for the installa-
ton of the simple apparatus needed in a
playground for small children.
An Appropriation Needed.
TT Is respectfully submitted that per-
mission to use these reservations and pub
lie grounds is not sufficient. An appropri-
alton should be made for fitting them up,
and every year the necessary appropria-
lions should be made for their care. extern
sion and renewals as apparatus is worn out
or broken. 1 do not believe that there is
any other way in which a small amount
can be expended which would do more
good or give greater pleasure or result In
more lasting benefit than money appropri-
ated and expended for fitting up, caring Tor
and maintaining childrens Fairgrounds.
Some small Fairgrounds have been estab-
lished on private property with money
subscribed by the generous people of
Washington, but the matter needs far
more general, vigorous and immediate
treatment than is possible on the subscrip-
ton basis.
Il would, therefore, renew the recon-
mendation made in the last annual report
of this office, that an appropriation OF
81 600 be made for establishing, maintain
ing and caring for children's Fairgrounds
on public reservations in Washington, and
authority be given to this office to erect or
hermit the necessary structures thereon.
