MONEY FOR CENSUS BUREAU
APPROPRIATION OF $1O,OOO,OOO
ASKED OF THE HOUSE.
Consideration Begun Despite objec-
tion-Next Months Salaries Not
Yet Provided For.

Anticipating the impossibility of the
census bill becoming law by July l, the
beginning of the new fiscal year, Chair
man Tawney of the appropriations
committee today presented to the House
a bill appropriating s10,O00,O00 for the
expenses of the taking Of the thlr-
teenth census and asked unanimous
consent for it's consideration.
Mr. Tawney explained that unless the
appropriation were made at once the CEN
sus bureau would be obliged to close
down Wednesday next at the end of the
days work.
Because Of the fact that the bill had
not been considered by committee and
that no report accompanied it, Mr.. Macon
(Ark) objected. In consequence no ac-
tion was taken upon the bill.
Later Mr.. Tawney renewed his request,
which again met an objection by the Ar
kansas member. Undaunted, and against
the earnest plea by Mr.. Macon that the
bill was not properly before the House,
Mr. Tawney succeeded in mastering a
sufficient number of votes to effect its
consideration.
In the course of a protracted debate Mr..
Gillett (Mass). in opposing the meas
ure, charged that it was simply an in
direct way of obtaining patronage, which
members did not dare attempt directly to
seek.
why was not the general census bill
passed over the Presidents yeto?" in
quired Mr.. Clark Mo), the minority
leader.
Mr.. Gillett confessed that he did not
know.
Didn't it grow" again queried Mr..
Clark, amid laughter. .out of the un-
fortunate habit President Roosevelt had
of fighting back?"
The answer was not forthcoming, but
instead Mr.. Gillett continued his an
tagonism to the bill.

UNION MEN LEFT AT ONCE.
Bricklayers Refused to Work With
Convicts at Bathing Beach.

The proposed employment of prisoners
of the workhouse in their striped prison
uniform, who are bricklayers by trade,
on certain Improvements that are being
made at the bathing beach has aroused
the opposition of the members of the
Bricklayers' Union and a clash between
the labor unions and the District authori-
ties is said to be imminent.
number of union bricklayers who had
been engaged to work at the beach were
ordered TO report there Tuesday morning.
When the men arrived on the ground
they found the zebra striped prisoners
there with their sleeves rolled up ready to
begin their tasks. The union workmen
withdrew from the grounds in Indignation
and reported to their officers that a num-
ber of non-unionists, some in prison garb
and others in plain clothes, were at the
bathing beach ready 10 begin the brick
work of the contemplated improvements.
The officers got busy at once and
promised TO file protest.
The union men objected to the en-
ployment of association men on the
work.. declared DIR. w. B. Hudson,
superintendent of the bathing beach. this
afternoon. when we were ready to
have the bricklaying DONE l telephoned
to some places suggested to me and told
them to send some brichayers down.
When the union men arrived ard found
association men also here. the union
men objected to working with them. They
all looked alike to us: association men
sounded like union men to u.s.
