ENLARGING THE DYKE.
Improvement in Progress at the
Month of Nomini Creek.

Work has been started on the enlarge
ment of the stone dyke at the mouth OF
Nomini creek, Va. which prevents the
sand from drifting into the dredged
channel of the creek and filing it up.
The tug James o. Carter early in the
week left here with the houseboat that
will be used as living quarters by the
men employed upon the work. and stop
ped at Occoquan for a scowloAd of stone
that is to be used in the work. Although
nothing has been heard from the tug
since she left here, it is thought that she
arrived at Nomini yesterday and that the
work of placing the stone in position
was started this morning. The Wash
ington Stone Company of this city has
the contract for the work. which Is being
done under the supervision of the United
States engineers office OF this city. The
tug Carter has been chartered by the
Washington Stone Company and Will
tow several lighters laden with stone
from the quarries in Occoquan to the
Nomini Improvement work. The enlarge
ment and lengthening of the dyke Is
made necessary by the growth OF the
sand point at the mouth OF Nomini
creek.

FIGHT AGAINST RAILROAD
TO Be TAKEN TO COURT
Town of HyattsviIIe Will 0p-
pose Proposed Cross

Special Correspondence of The Star.

HYATTSVILLE, September ~. 1911.
The town of Hyattsville will go to court
in its effort TO keep the Washington,
Gettysburg and Westminster railroad
from crossing Columbia avenue at grade.
The mayor and council held a special
meeting last evening for the purpose OF
hearing the report of Corporation Counsel
Vincent y. Sheehy on the mandamus pro-
ceedings filed against the town by the
railway company, wherein the company
seeks TO compel the authorities to issue
a permit to cross Columbia avenue at
grade, provided the company constructs
an overhead bridge at this point.
The counsel advised the members OF
the council of their rights in the prem
ises, and the petition of the company
will he contested. Mayor Bells presided
at the meeting and all the members OF
the council were present
On motion of Councilman Fuller 1t was
ordered that the magistrates in Hyatts-
Vile be directed to report on all V1o-
lations of town ordinances brought be
fore them and the fines imposed and to
exhibit their docketS at the next meeting
of the council. Charles Zimmerman, rep
Presenting the newly organized fire de-
partment, asked that the council cham

Extension of Water Service.

The matter of extending the towns
water service to certain residents in East
Hyattsvile started considerable discus
sion. Councilman Fuller doubted the
power of the council to grant any per-
mission for the extension of the service
beyond the corporate limits, on the
ground that the bill authorizing a bond
issue of $4,000 for the water system
provided for the installation within the
corporate limits of Hyattsville. Council
man Greager, chairman of the water com
mittee. moved that permission be granted
II. Is. Davis and John A. Dorr. residents
of East Hyattsville. to install the water
in their premises, and that an ordinance
be passed prohibiting further extensions
of the system without the corporate linn
its after November l. The motion pre-
vailed.

CARPENTERS ADOPT RESOLUTION

Whereas, The ordinance passed by
the council of the City Of Wheeling,
authorizing the new market audito-
rum provided that the building
should be erected by union labor; and,
Whereas, It is known that at least
one sub-contfact has been let to a
firm that is recognized as antagonis-

violation of the ordinance passed by
the city council, and in deliberate de-
fance Of eight thousand union men
and their families in Wheeling; there

Resolved, That the Carpenters I'm
ion of Wheeling hereby condemn the
action of the building committee of the
auditorium, including the Board of
Control, for knowingly allowing a
violation of the city ordinance in re-
gard to the union Clause in the Audi
torium contract. Be it further,
Resolved, That If work is done by
any firm antagonistic to organized La
Dor, we call on all working men to
refrain from in any way faVoring any
one connected with the auditorium.

union men except the w. w. Wood Co.
Every contractor in the city can be
depended upon to work union men on
a contract that has q union clause
except the w. w. Wood Co. On every
job that had a nuion clause the union
man have had nothing but trouble, If
the w. w. Wood Co. was the contrac-
tor. The carpenters feel that they
were forced to consider the W. w.
Wood Co. as unfair to Labor. And
the head of that firm, to make matters
clear, stood before the Board of Educa-
ton some time ago, and. thus declared
himself:
r am a Labor hater!"
So Labor has gone into this fight
with the full realization of what it
means and wher cit may lead. If, in
spite OF every lawful EFFORT the build
ing is erected by non-union Labor the
fight will only have Just commenced.
The Market Auditorium will be union
or non-union. We will be satisfied
with no soft-sounding EXPLANA-
TIONS.

hope Of success is to divide the forces
of Labor and beat 9ne craft at a time.
It therefore becomes necessary for all
crafts to stand together in Industrial
solidarity. That this is the case that
will test them is recognized. And the
Labor movement Of Wheeling is wait
ing anxiously to hear from the other
crafts.
One faVorite explanation that IS go
ing the rounds Of the daily press like
a paid advertisement, IS a statement
that all contractors in the same busi-
ness as this unfair contractor, are rum
ming open shops the same as he runs.
This is done, Of course, to make it APP
pear that Labor IS discriminating
against the firm Of w. W. Wood Co.
The papers do not tell the whole truth.
They deliberately suppress It.
1t is true that practically an open
shop condition prevails in the carpen-
ter craft in Wheeling today thanks to
the kind Of people who are at the head
of this Auditorium project. But every
contractor in the city employs SOME

Wheeling painters will not worl~on
the auditorium if non-union labor IS
employed. This action was taken by
Painters. Decorators and Paper Hang
ers No. 81 at its last meeting, and the
secretary was instructed to notify the
contractors to that effec. Accordingly,
letters have been received by every
painting contractor in the city, stating
that Il npn-union carpenters or other
craftsmen are employed in the con-
struction of the Market Auditorium,
not a union painter will work on the
building.
This showing Of solidarity has excit-
cd the open-shoppefs. They have i'm
spired news articles and editorials in
he daily papers, explaining that ssthe
trouble is settled" and various other
explanations that do not explain.
Just as soon as the other building
rades in Wheeling take the same
action as the painters, and all refuse
scab on the building, the trick will
be turned. The 6pen-shopp only
