REPORT OF DISCORD DENIED.
Members Claim Carpenters Brother
hood Is in Excellent Shape.

Members of the brotherhood Of Car
penters last night made a vigorous denial
of the report that internal dissensions
were threatening a dissolution of the
organization and that many of the men
were only waiting for the word to re-
organize former Union No. 74S. 1t was
asserted that such repor. was without
foundation in fact, and that the Brother
hood was in excellent shape. Only rou-
tine matters were transacted, it is said.
AT the meeting in Typographical Temple
Friday night, instead of the alleged dis
cussion of the strike situation.
Sam De rscdrey Of the Trades Unionist
said only nine members of the brother
hood were reported on the strike benefit
list He said that the other men had
work.
1t is said that the brotherhood has lost
only about forty. members since the order
for the strike went into effect, which
is considered a very small loss for q
union as large as the local brotherhood
after a strike order.

RESTROOM AND LOCKERS.
Provision Planned for the Woman
Clerks in Treasury.

If Secretary MacVeagh finally approves
the plans now before him f9x remodeling
the Treasury building wi4 Che one-hun-
acknowledgements appropri-
alton secured for that purpose the woman
clerks of the department will be pro-
vided with a comfortable restroom and a
big room containing lockers for their
wraps, hats and bundles.
The architects who have the matter in
charge have designed both a restroom
and a large locker room The idea OF the
architects is that 1t is better to have
clothing, hats, bundles, etc.. deposited
in lockers than to be lying around the
workrooms and offices, as at the present
time.
There are over $50 female employees in
the Treasury building proper. and an
equal number of lockers will be required.

Comfort of the Soldier.

Whether the man behind the gun shall
have a pea jacket instead of a long
tailed overcoat to flop about his legs as
he marches. whether he shall enjoy the
negllge comforts of a sweater instead of
carrying several coats. and whether he
shall have pair of slippers to go with
his pipe when he takes evening rest
IN barracks after d hard days march,
are all questions unsettled The general
staff wants TO equip the soldier for COM
fort and service. The quartermaster
generals department wants to keep down
the cost. ii was recommended that the
soldier have a neckerchief when he hikes
over dusty roads under blistering sun,
but that also has been objected to.
But "a pair of slippers, of all things.
officers of the infantry are determined
he should have. Anything which reduces
the likelihood of foot soreness is of ut
most Importance, they say, for, after all,
an army moves on it's feet as we'll as
on its stomach as Napoleon used to con-
tend.
The question is not settled, but the
fighting man will probably get some of
the proposed comforts anyway.
