PLANT BY ARCHITECT
BLOCKS new BUILDING
Asserted That Winner in Design
Competition Prevents Passage
of Bill for Edifice.

A charge that the architect who won
building for the Department of Justice
in Washington in 1910 has prevented
any bill from passing Congress for the
construction of such a building unless
the bill would compel the government
to employ this architect and pay him
the usual fee for construction was made
in the Senate yesterday afternoon by
Senator Swanson, chairman of the Sen
ate public buildings and grounds com
mittee.
He made the charge in connection with
an attempt to get the Senate to act
upon bill reported from his committee
providing for the construction Of the
department building. Senator Root of
New York insisted that the proposed
bill would work an injustice to the
architect who had won the early com
petition for the design. He said that
since the award in the competition the
architect has been going ahead and max
.ng plans under his contract with the
government and the proposed bill au-
thoriZed the breaking of this contract
by the government.
Senator Swanson replied that the gov
eminent had already paid this architect
$40 900 for his plans. and that Congress
had never authorized the employment
of this architect for the construction
work He insisted that the government
was under no obligations to give this
construction contract to the architect.

Inc value of the buttons produced

less than fourteen large establishments
IN this country are devoted exclusively
to the manufacturing of buttons from

OF other factories use it in conjunction
with other materials.
The value of buttons manufactured In
the United States approximates $i5,-
ooo.ooO. The industry employs nearly a
quarter of a million persons. They

Brass and military buttons are
manufactured chiefly in New England,
the largest factory Of this kind being
located in Connecticut. Celluloid but
tons are also made in the greatest
quantity in New England, although Los
Angeles has also a factory devoted to
this purpose.
The tendency toward military effects
in the trimming of women's clothing
calls for large supplies of braid to be
used in combinations with buttons and
also applied alone. either plain or in
ornamental patterns. The importations
or braid have been considerable each
year. but 1t is claimed that practically
all patterns in general use can be made
in American factories. Several Of these
have now put on an additional force to
fill the heaviest demands the trade has
ever made upon them. Cotton, silk,
wool and metal are the materials used
in braid manufacture,
