WASHINGTON, d. c., May l.
The most dangerous thing in Wash

boratory constructed with funds of
the Carnegie institution. 1t is dedi-
Gated to making rocks, and for this
purpose it proposes to reproduce
pent-up volcanoes, and the frightful
pressures and heat Of the earth's
interior. Ii is the only building in
the world devoted exclusively to
high pressures and temperatures.
1--WE don't know just what we

thur l.. Day. I'VE shall have to
deal in very high temperatures and
pressures, and it may end by our

avoid that we hope to discover
some interesting things about the

The new geophysical laboratory
has been located at safe distance
from residential Washington. 1t is
a thousand feet from the nearest
car line, and there is only / house
within that range.
Other reasons than the danger of
explosions led to its isolated loca-
ton. 1t was necessary to remove
1t from the danger of electrical and
Earring influences. In order further
to do this, the building is construct
ed on specially insulated founda-
tons, and will no connection be-
tween its walls and floor. The walls
are anchored in deep sand, and the

The only serious labor difficulty
attending the Introduction Of new
wage scales today occurred at the
Union Iron works, where the re-
quest for an hour day was an
swered by the discharge of the "a
union molders employed. They
were paid off last night.
The men were receiving 1915 for
8 hours. On April / they served
notice of demand for 8 hours at the
same rate of pay. Two weeks ago
the company notified the men of an
intention to maintain the 8 hour
day, leaving the assumption open
that unless the union signified its
acceptance of this scale it would
be taken for granted that the
proposition was rejected.
The molders returned no answer
and last night they were paid off
without further notice or negotia.
ton.
This action the men deem a lock-
out and they will proceed with the
fight on that basis. j. A. Thomas
president of the local union, has
called a meeting for this afternoon
to outline the campaign. No formal
strike can be declared without per-
mission from the national head of
the organization, and it Is probable
that no formal steps will be taken
in that line until the arrival of Ma
kt..onal President Valentine, who is
now on the coast and is expected
here within week.
The management of the Union
Iron works had nothing further to
say today than that the company
had elected to stand by the hour
day and had given its men ample
notice of that determination. The
molding room is working short
handed with apprentices.
