support of the petition to have the West

avenue line by the building OF link

The building of this connecting link has
been advocated by 4. w. Lyman in nu-

Some time ago the company submitted

The petitioners were not satisfied with
the report and demanded hearing.

'DICKERING ENDS
in brewery WAR
Employees Decide to Submit
Their Case to Board of In
ternational Union.
300 ATTEND CONFERENCE
If Strike Is Ordered. Beer Scarcity
May Result in the National
Capital.

All the brewery workers OF the Ma
tional Capital assembled in mass meeting
in Eagles Hall last night voted to stop
dckcring with local brewers and submit
their case to the international executive
board OF the Brewery Workers lnterna-
tional Union OF America at Cincinnati
This means that tho dispute between
brewery workers and brewers has ad-
vanced another peg toward strike and
that the differences between employees
and employers have ceased to be local
issue and has assumed the proportions
Of a national question.
All classes of brewery workers attend
cd the mass meeting, and more than 3"
men crowded the hall. The workers were
informed that Leon Tobriner. attorney
for the brewers. had announced that the
brewers would not grant the demands or
the workers Finally the workers voted
almost unanimously to present the facts
to the international executive board and
ask for instructions.
Word viii BE Final.
The word Of tho executive board will
be final If the board orders a strike. tho
chances are that summer will see little
beer sold in Washington. though brewers
say outside concerns can ship INTO the
city more than enough beer to meet all
demands here officials of the brewery
workers. as well i representatives OF
brewers. say that chances o. strike
are slight. Each man who attended the
mass meeting. with the exception OF A.
J. Kugier. International organizer OF the
workers union. was put on hts word OF
honor not to divulse the proceedings.
AS Spokesman for the workers. Mr..
kucler said: The only thing have
asked is that workers be laid oT Instead
of being discharged when there is lack OF
work for employment OF a full force.
This is a reaSonabl" request. but t.r
brewers have denied il because of the
principle involved. claiming tney want
the right to discharge who they will,
when they will We ask for no increase
Of wages no reductions Of hours. and no
change in conditions. except that the
workers instead Of being dismissed II"
given chance to keep body and soul
together.
"Fifty-oac me. recently hay" been
discharged ard today they are mem
bcrs OF the army OF unemployed. II
these men had been laid of with an
other nifty. aud the 'wO shifts had been
employed alternately. none OF th"m
would he facing starvation. We eN-
uect amicable but honorable settlement;
hecius" our request is fair. honest. and
lust. There will he another meeting
Of the workers Tuesday night to con
sid.r ;he report from the international
executive hoard on the facts we have
resented We can surmise what the
report Of the board Will he. because
in ali other big cities the request W.
make is been granted"
