That cool nights suitable for indoor

Floating In the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal at the foot of Thirty-sixth
street the body of an unidentified
white man about ffty-five years old,
was found this morning. The condi-
ton of the body indicated 1t had
been in the water several days.
There were no marks on the cloth

would give any clue to his identity.
He had on a dark blue suit and wore
white shirt and celluloid collar.
He had a sandy mustache and sandy
hair, tinged with gray, The only
things in the pockets were cheap
watch. two keys, a pipe. and a pair
of spectacles.
Persons walking across the Aque-

LABOR TO CONFER

Various Unions of City to Be
Asked to Aid in Brick
layers Troubles.

Determined to put an end to the "open
shop" conditions which the Bricklayers'
Union declares exist at the garage be-
ing erected at the Government Printing
Office. where John Moore, a colored
laborer. is employed as a bricklayer, the
Central, Labor Union has decided to
call a conference OF all the building
trades of the District. and will ask the
various unions to assist the bricklayers
in their fight.
Moore, 1t is said, is not a qualified
bricklayer, and should not be permit ed
to engage in bricklaying work along
side of recognized masOns. The action
Of the Government Printing Office Off
Gals in permitting the laborer to work
as a bricklayer is held to be contrary
to the apprentice system recognized by
the prlntery.
At last nights meeting of the Central
Labor Union. the committee, consisting
Of Emmett L. Adams, John J. Wclfe,
and James Brosnahan, representing the
Rricklayers' Union, reported that the
striking brtcklayers are still of the
printing office job, and will remain
away until Moore is removed.
Mr.. Adams told the delegates that the
action OF the printing office in per-
hitting Moore to work as a bricKlayer
is a dangerous precedent.
Public Printer Donnelly always has
been a champion of the apprentice sys-
tenn, which is the protector of the union
principle of organization" he said. .If
Moore is permitted to take up the work
of tricklaying without having served
HIS apprenticeship, the same thing can
be brought about In other lines OF work.

Modern Equipment
For Pope's Bodyguard

ROME, Sept. 26.-Off1cial announce
ment was made today that the corps Of
the Noble and Swiss Guards, the Pope's
personal bodyguard. have just been
equipped with the most modern
weapons.
Z Though not in active service since
1870. the Vatican authorities consider the
guards intended for actual warfare, and
want them equipped accordingly.
The change works havoc in the ap-
pearance Of the Swiss Guards, who have
hitherto worn the uniform designed for
them by Michael Angelo, and carried
weapons fully as antique. Their hal
herds now give way to modern rifles.

Chemical Imports Are

Because American chemical manu-

AS a result there is now but a small
per cent OF the chemicals imported,
whereas a few years ago considerably
more than half was imported. Prac-
tically the only ones now imported are
the organic chemicals and the amount
of these is being reduced each year.

That many great foreign nations. In

by means of legislation, 1t opens the
doors to the employees of every other de-
partment in the service and in anticipa-
