LESSON IN RECENT FIRE.
Commissioner MncfaFIand Points
Out Need of "A safe Asylum.

Out Need OF safe Asylum.
The recent threatened destruction Of
Freedmen's Hospital by fire has again
brought 20 the attention Of the officials OF
the District the necessity Of constructing
such institutions, as far as possible. Of
frepro0f material IN reference 10 this
Commissioner Aacfarland said yesterday:
Although the Freedmeus Hospital IS
not under the administration OF the Dis
trict government, but under the Interior
Department, we have a deep interest in
1t. because. under contract with the Board
Of Charities, 1t takes many Of our In
digent people for treatment Now that
we have the warning OF the recent fire. il
is very evident how much the new struc-
ture. which is under construction, is
needed.
We ought all. officials and citizens
alike unite in MOST earnest appeal 10
Congress at the next session 10 put the
municipal hospital in permanent suitable
structures on the municipal hospital site
on Brightwood avenue. 1t is shameful
that honest poor people should have no
other provision by the municipality when
they must have its medical and surgical
treatment. than make-shift frame build

We are through with The unions. and
from now on viii have no dealings with
them. At present there are no union
men on our buildings and the work is
eminently satisfactory and harmonious" d"
The above statement was made by
Harry Wardman. one OF the busiest
builders in the city Indicating that the
strike Of the bricklayerS and other Ia
borers does not affect all Of the build
ing operations in the city. nor do all the
builders fear the employment of non
union labor. IN discussing the situation
yesterday with a Washington Herald re-
porter, Dir. Wardman said:
our firm has always tried 10 avoid
any friction with the unions. and for a
long time We put ourselves TO great in
convenience 10 retain their services, but
Of late that has become impossible be-
cause OF their dictatorial position, and
II has resolved itself into a question
Of who viii manage the business, the
unions or myself
Has No Union Men.
AT present there are no union men
working for me in any capacity. and I
find that the work IS much more satisfac-
tory. When the briCklayers walked out,
with the expectation that a general tie-up
would ensue their places were filed the
next morning, and tie work went on
without hindrance. 7 am not antagonistic
20 the unions, bat ! find that I can get
along more>harmoni0Usly without them

my buildings ! would not take them back
and ] never viii. / am through with
unions. We nave seventy-five houses un-
der construction. ard ind no difficulty ia
securing men TO d. the work I don't an
ticipate any tie-up, and I am certain that
things Will 60 along smoothly with our
work
work Not Tied ID.
The work has not been tied UP one
hour. Notwithstanding the many state
ments TO the contrary. our firm made
every effort 10 get along amlcably with
the unions, but we found IL impossible
As soon as one thing was oeded TO
them they had some other grievance. and
1t got 20 that point where We either had
10 run our own business or get out OF IL
altogether. Hereafter we intend % en-
ploy whom we wish, and we are certain
Of getting better results.
Mr.. Wardman returned from Long
Branch yesterday. where he was looking
after his interests and after making the
rounds ~ his buildings here found every
thing IN satisfactory condition.
