NEW YORK GOSSIP
WEEKLY RESUME OF
MEN AND EVENTS


thousand men, still continues. but there
Is sufficient evidence to warrant the
prediction that the differences between
the employers and the unions will soon
be amicably adjusted. There is not
much enthusiasm among the men who
were locked out and many Of them
would gladly go back to work. II they
only dared Several unions that had
been ordered out. like the electric
workers, etc, have refused to obey the
orders OF the leaders and hav decided
to return to work. 1t is confidently ex-
low their example.
The most aggravating features Of the
lockout are the delay In the completion
Of the subway and the prevention Of the
erection of much needed schoOlhouses.
1t IL estimated that over twenty thou
sand school children will be deprived
fall owing to the lack of school build
ings. Over six million dollars are avail
able for the erection Of new school
houses, but owning to the lockout moth
ing can be done. unless some arrange
ment II made to exempt school build
ings from the operations Of hte lock-

compromise between the allied build
ing trades and the employers that will
make it possible to push the erection
Of the much needed schoolhouses.
Strangers visiting New York are
greatly surprised at the diminutive
size Of the city hall of New York and
are wondering how It is possible that
the enormous volume OF ofiicial busi-
ness which IL inseparable from the ad-
ministration Of municipality Of the
sixe and population Of New York can
be crowded into 80 small q structure.
The puxsle II easily explained. however
by the fact that in reality only few
departments of the city's administra-
ton are actually located in the city
hall. Many departments are scattered
all through the city and in the Park
Row building, alone 243 rooms are oc-
cupied by various departments Of the
municipal government. II II quite pos
sible. that the lease for these rooms
will not be renewed. ~ the owners Of
the building and the city do not seem
to be able to agree on the rental. The
present lease expires this year and
unless an agreement - reached. the
city will have to vacate the rooms now
occupied and move to some other quar-
ters. 1t II generally admitted the New
