President Roosevelt has taken a lively
interest in the work of the association, and
in recent letter to the president of the
Washington Playground Association he
said Il have been pleased to see also that
there is a new interest In play and play
grounds all over the country. and that
many cities that have not previously taken
up the movement in a systematic way have
made beginning this year. The annual
meeting of the Playground Association of
America In Chicago, In June. with its at
tracdve play festival and comprehensive
study OF play problems, is sure to increase
this interest. l trust that all of our larger
municipalities will send representatives to
TINS exhibition to gain Inspiration from this
meeting and to see the magnificent system
mat chicago has erected in the South Park
secuon. one OF the most notable achieve
ments OF any American city"
The Playground Association, for the bet
ter prosecution of Its work, is now trying
TO secure as many members as possible i'm
all the large cities. Already there is ample
evidence that interest in the playground
movement has been stimulated all over the
country. e

VIEW OF BUILDING TRADES
DECLARE THAT MASTER WORK
MEN MUST SETTLE DISPUTE.
Journeymen Say They Will Confer
Regarding Differences Only on
Definite Proposition.

According to the view taken by the allied
building trades, the settling Of existing diff
ferences between the journeyman plumbers
of the District and their employers which
last week assumed serious aspect, re-
mains with the master plumbers. The COM
mittee appointed on the part of the build
ing trades last summer for the purpose OF
bringing about arbitration between the mas
tiers and the journeymen met at headquar-
ters In the Corcoran building last evening,
and among the subjects considered were
the differences between journeymen and one
or two master plumbers.
The meeting was devoted chiefly to a dis
cussion of letter received from the MAS
ter Plumbers Association inviting the men,
bers of the committee to confer with the
association with a view to bringing the con-
troversy to close, the understanding be-
ing that all the striking plumbers should
return to work pending the outcome OF the
conference.
The communication was read, and John
j. Purcell. secretary Of the Allied Trades
Council. was directed to inform the mas
tiers that the committee is DESTROYS OF q
conference and is willing to contribute Its
share toward reaching satisfactory agree
ment, but that the masters will have to
make definite proposition under which
the men may return to work. The men,
bers of the committee contend that they
are in the right; that their patience Is about
exhaused, and that an effort will probably
be made to force things unless an agree
ment Is soon reached.
Action to Be Taken Tomorrow.
1t was learned last evening that the
''straightening-out committee" of the
Building Trades Alliance has determined
to call off all the union mechanics working
on the rows Of dwellings being erected by
Middaugh & Shannon, near the Soldiers
Home, in case no agreement is reached.
Unless present plans are changed, 1t Is said
the men will be called out at 1880 o'clock
tomorrow morning, the time they usually
begin their days labor.
The grievance Of the Building Trades Al
lance Is said to be that employed on the
work are number Of non-union plumbers,
painters and carpenters. Members Of the
alliance said last night that they had tried
to reach an agreement with those who are
and they therefore consider that there ia
nothing left to them but to call or the
union workmen.
Brief, But Decisive.
Because some non-union 'workmen were
employed on the new Anacostia School
building on Harrison street, the Journey
mems committee representing the Building
Trades Alliance yesterday called of ali
the union men employed on the structure
After the men had been out for short
time the matter was adjusted by the with
drawal Of the non-union workmen, EN-
ployed by NJ B. Casey e. Co., on plumbing
work, and the union men returned to the
job. Pavarini & Wyne are the contractors
for the building, and the men who went out
were their employees.
For final settlement the controversy
was referred to the building trades coun-
Gil.

STEAM SHOVELERS
QUIT THEIR STRIKE

Cablegrams received from the Isthmus
of Panama announce that the so-called
strike of steam shovel men has fallen
through, and that the only labor trouble
existing among the 5000 white employees
is at an end.
These men are the highest paid OF any
class of mechanics on the isthmus, re-
Ceiving S2lG a month, compared TO $3.50
for locomotive engineers, and Sl75 for
general fOremen OF tracks and dumps.
They receive about $50 In the United
States.
Not satisfied with the amount they
were receiving, they demanded from the
Government $500 a month, and this the
President refused. Then about two
thirds walked out. Now Chief Engineer
Cocktails has cablcd that all steam
shovels are in operation. In spite OF
the storms marking the beginning OF
the rainy season, 10 per cent of
the record made in excavation in the
dry season is being maintained.

United States Will Tip
All Dining Car Walters
Dusk> Knights of Napkin viii Be Remember
ed After July 1, When Government
Officials Are Travelling

Hereafter the humble waiter In din
ing cars OF railroad trains will get
his tip from the United States. when
ever an official travels.
This has just been decided by all de-
partments, after many complaints from
these dusky citizens had poured into
the various secretaries and assistants.
1t was announced today that the regu-
lations Of the various departments have
been changed 10 meet this condition.
The new rule will go into effect July l.
1t seems for years the custom has
been 10 allow travelling officers 25 cents
a day as the proper sum TO appease
the dignity Of the Pullman car con-
ductor. Ten cents has been the Off
cial allowance for the less important
parlor car conductor.
Walters Were Overlooked.
The dining car waiter seemed TO have
been overlooked in the appropriation
bills. The matter was then taken up
with the result that hereafter he will
receive more than even the lordly in
dividual OF the whisk broom. his fee
being set at 40 cents a day.
The Department of Agriculture is the
last to succumb to the new demands.
An official OF that branch OF the Cow
eminent said today:
All employees Of the Government
while travelling on official business are
allowed 70 fee the employees OF trains.
at hotels, and In other places where
such fees are customary. Just how the
colOred brother in the dining car came
TO be overlooked is a mystery. ANY
way, We received complaints from all
along the line both from the COlOrCd
waiter and from the Government en-
plOye, who did not dare brave the wrath
OF the offended knight Of the napkin. and
dug down into his own Jeans for the
coin This continued until Secretary
