CAPT. SEWELL's ATTITUDE.
Claimed That He Couldn't Debar Non
Union Man.

The strike Of the brickmasons at the
Washington barracks has not been off,
cially brought to the notice of the War
Department. 1t is said at tine department
that the matter is in the hands OF Capt
Sewel, the officer in charge of the work
and the department will take no cogniz-
ance of the situation unless it is asked to
do so by the parties concerned.
One of the officials said that Capt. Sewell
appears to have acted entirely within the
law in the employment of the colored nom
union brickmason. who was secured through
the civil service commission in the regular
way.
He added that the engineer department
had no right to debar a non-union man as
such. II he met all essential requirements.
nor had it ever been called on to decide a
dispute of this kind between union and nom
union men
