BUT LITTLE CHANGE.
Local Lockout Situation Remains
About as It Was Yesterday.

There was no apparent change in the local
building trades lockout and strike situation
today. Large placards were posted today
in the shops of all members of the Master
Sheet Metal Workers Association, which
the workmen declare is an open-shop dec
laration. The p'acards bear the resolutions
recently adopted by the Master Sheet Metal
Workers Association, signed by A. S.
johnson, president, and ]. A. Pierpont,
secretary, as follows:
Whereas, the Employers Association has
proved through their experience that arbi-
tration is not solution to the labor prob
lem and in their opinion the only perma-
nent solution will be the right of the diff
ferent employers to employ such men as
are competent to do their respective work,
irrespective of their religion, or isms.
Therefore, be it resolved, that this asso-
citation reserves the right to employ any
competent men who will faithfully perform
their work and will work with such other
men as may be employed on the same oper-
alton.
Executive sessions of committees repre-
senting the journeyman bricklayers and
plasterers were held last night, but the
committeeman declined to discuss the nature
of the matters considered.
Not much change is expected in the situa-
ton of affairs until the ten days time
limit of the bricklayers expires. 1t is said
they will go on general strike unless all
non-unionists are dismissed from work on
building construction In the District at the
expiration of that time.

SUCCESSOR TO GRIFFITH.
Reported That George Staliings Will
Manage the Highlanders.

rumor has BEEN sent out from New
York that Clark Griffith's days as manager
of the New York American League team
are numbered, and that his successor has
already been chosen. The report is that
George Stallings, formerly a prominent fig
ure in base ball and one time manager of
the Detroit team, is the man who will take
Griff1ths position at the head of the High
landers.
There are several reasons advanced for
this reported change in the management
One is that President Farrell has become
tired of waiting for results and wants some
one at the head of the New York team
who will bring them TO the top. 1t is
claimed he thinks we'll of Stalings. who
last year piloted the Buffalo team of the
Eastern League to the championship.
Another reason given for Griff's retire
ment Is that he is not physically able to
continue the strenuous life of base ball
manager. 1t is reported that President
Farrell and Stallings have been in close
consultation for several days past.
Griffith has had hard luck with the
Yankees. He has had good men on his

and by any fair means. and 1t is said that
he is tired of waiting and thinks that the
only way to get results IS to switch the
managers.

between Isabelle johnson and "a girl named
Mamie Pope. Isabel rudely told Policeman
Creagh that Mamie had some clothes be-
longing to Isabel and would not return
them. Policeman Creagh went to interview
Mamie on the subject.
She said had some clothes belonging to
her, did she?'' Mamie shouted. Did she
tell you about the seventeen sheets she has
that belong to the hospital?
Policeman Creagh blinked couple OF
times and started to run down the clue.
The arrests followed, and visits to the
homes of the women at 1888 Virginia ave-
nue. northwest 9a3 25th street and 23d and

communication from Smith Thompson. jr.,
president of the Georgetown Citizens As
ISOLATION, in which he vigorously protested
against the proposed open treatment Of

ly advocated the closed or tunneling treat

ment mentioned for the Rock Greek valley
