Mr. Iowson Is SO much, in favor of cast

PERMIT WITH A PROVISO.
Union Bricklayers to Work on War Col
leee on Certain Conditions.


The action of the, Bricklayers' Union last
night in voting to allow union bricklayers
to go to work the War College building
in course of construction at Washington
barracks has direct bearing, engineer
officers say, on the strike against the en-
ployment of non-union men on the engineer
buildings being erected in the same reserva-
ton. There are three different jobs Of
brick work now under way in the reser-
walton of the Washington barracks, for
merly known as 1.-THE arsenal" each job
being in immediate charge of an engineer
officer or civilian under the general direc-
ton of Captain Sewell.
There are at work on the engineer build
ing, barracks. storehouse ETC.. about forty
non-union bricklayers These men. white
and colored. were appointed from the civil
service eligible list and can only be dis
placed for cause, the prospect being an
ofhcer said today, that they will continue
at the work
The erection of the War College is in i'm
mediate charge of Mr.. Mark Wilmarth. a
civil engineer. At this time no brick work
Is being done on the college building. as
certain stone work will have to be COM
pleted before force of bricklayers can be
put on the walls. 1t is expected, however,
that In few days bricklayinp will he
commenced above the stone work
The decision of the Bricklayers' Union
laSt nlght was, 1t is said, that it's members
VIII De allowed to work on the War Col
iese' out as soon as non-union man is nut
TO work on the job as was the case on the
engineer building when Taylor was en-
plcyed. the union bricklayers are Instructed
to walk out
An engineer official at Washington har-
racks stated today that If any union brick
layers contemplate going to work on the
War College they will have to register or
rereg1ster. go on the eligible list and he
appointed through the civil service com
mission in regular order. The question of
union or non-uniol will not be considered
in the matter.
The forces of men on the three iobs NJ
brlckwork are separate and distinct There's
!ore the union men may, it is believed un-
dertake to NIL the eligible list with mem
bers of their union, so that non-unionfsfs
may be excluded from the War College
job.
There were four bricklayers at work on
the college building when brickwork was
temporarily suspended. These men were
furloughed. and the action of the union
last night Is construed to remove the pro-
h1bition from those four men. A report
was circulated in labor circles today that
the government will be willing to ''strain
a point" to secure all union men for the
War College work, as it is intended that
the building shall be of superior workman
ship and finish
AS to the strike Of bricklayers on the en-
gineer buildings, it is said to be still in
force so far as organized labor is concern
ed, while engineer officers declare it is
over from a government standpoint.

Revolver

Following his conviction In the District
branch of the Police Court this afternoon
on charge of carrying a revolver Fred
Henry, colored. was sentenced by Judge
O'Neal to pay a fine of $50. Martha Will
iams colored a friend of Henry's told the
court that he visited her home in D.ngman
place last night and threatened to do her
up.
He not only knocked me down and
pointed a pistol at me, but he struck me on
the head with fiat iron," Martha ex-
planned.
What about your carrying a pistol?"
Judge O'Neal asked williams.
THAT wasn't no gum" Williams declared.
What was it?' his honor wanted to
know.
1T was old shirt had tied up in a
roll. and / guess Martha's eyes must have
deceived her."
The court thought that Martha was able
to tell the difference between a revolver
and shirt and directed that Fred should
be deprived of his liberty for the next four
months unless he pays the assessment
levied on him.
