TAKEN OUT OF UNFAIR LIST
Firm of zepp Bros. Discharges AL
Nonunion Men.
This Is Only Development I'm TrOubIe c
Between Building Trades and
Master Builders.

The only new development in the local
strike situation between the Building
Trades and Master Builders in the Dis
trict, is the withdrawal Of the firm OF
Zepp Brothers from the unfair list This
firm was placed on the unfair list with
several others for employing nonunion
men. When the matter was reported 10
the headquarters OF the building trades
the union men were called of.
The firm yesterday discharged the non
union men and filled their places with
men who We're in good standing with the
unions. thus restoring them in good favor
Secretary Of the Building Trades Nc
Iver said: "Of the 200 master builders or
contractors in the District. there arc but
eighteen or twenty who are still fighting
for the open shop. The majority of build
ers are employing union men. OF the
200o0 mechanics in the District of Colum-
bia, there have been but % per cent OF
them idle I'm the last year OF this num-
Der. 10 per cent were out on account OF
the strike. The remaining 10 per cent
were idle from various causes. The recent
money stringency. the usual dull times
experienced every year in the months OF
January and February. with the building
trades, and the approaching Presidential
campaign. are some OF the chief causes.
II wish you would say for me. and for
all iaboring men. that 80 per cent OF the
building work being done In the District
is being done by union mechanics.
''The jobs from which men were called
off in the last few days are small affairs.
and are being handled by small con-
tractors.
Il am speaking for every mechanic in
the country. when I say we are pleased
with conditions in the District"

The rank and file of persons who have
come 10 look upon the first OF April as a
day when they may with impunity play
jokes and pranks upon their fellow-beings
has, as a rule little idea Of the origin OF
the day or the license that is usually
freely accorded to the discontinue, often
times expense. Of victims.
All sorts Of cOnjectures have been ad-
vanced 20 account for All Fools Day, bat
the generally. although by no means un-
animously accepted theory is that which
assigns the origin OF the custom to France.
March p used TO be New Years Day.
France took the lead in COMMUNICATING
the new year on January l instead of
March %. Before the change was made
the festivities Of the season eliminated
on the octave Of the feast. April l. when
visits were paid and gifts bestowed.
New Years Day Moves Back.
! With the adoption of the reformed cal
endar in 1854 New Years Day was carried
back to January l. and only pretended
gifts and mock ceremonial visits were
made on April /, for the purpose OF max
ing fools Of those who had forgotten the
change of date. The custom. once started.
was kept up after its origin had been for
gotten
Some say that the English borrowed
their April fooling. from the French But
whereas the English youngster and the
/ American small boy eXulungly cry out
April Fool" when they have perpe-
/ traJed the joke the French call the per

| or in schools at this season of the year
The term April fool was. therefore.

stitute of that opprobius epithet for fish
In Germany they have the phrase: Einen

The fickleness Of the weather character
istic Of the April season is said by others
who have offered explanations of the
custom 10 present a certain analogy TO
the weird customs Of the day. and a final
theory IS that the day has a certain
religious significance, in that il commem-
crates the mock trial OF Christ
Generally Accepted Theory.
All OF these however are less credited
than the generally accepted theory that
from the poisson d'Avril Of France comes

As early as 1760. Poor Richards Alma
