THREE MEN PUT ON
|. Jobs Of METAL STRIKERS
Commissioners Say They Were Not
Informed of Wage Appeal Of
Those Who Quit.

workers and six helpers in the District
repair shop yesterday failed to take on
the semblance of a serious strike today.
Three workers were employed this
morning and the disRruntled employees
will be given their jobs II they apply at
once, it was stated.
1t developed this morning that the
Commissioners did not even know that
the men had asked for increased pay.
They said that the matter had not
come officially to their attention. D. E.
Garges. chief clerk Of the engineer de-
partment. stated that his office had no
record of the men having applied FOR
higher wages.
Engineer Commissioner Knight
stated that he considered 1t the duty
of District employees to await the action
of the Commissioners before taking
such drastic action as the repair shop
workers took yesterday.
According to officials at the repair
shop. the metal workers are given
steady employment at $4.20 day and
have asked for $3.50 a day. with the S
per cent Increase provided for under
the current District appropriation act.
1t was stated that metal workers on
the outside receive $3.50 a day. but dc
not receive steady employment.
Charles Dausch and w. J. Johnson
two of the employees. representing the
men. said they intended to go to the
District building this afternoon and
endeavor to have a conference with the
Commissioners. They both declared II
was not the intention OF the men to
strike. as they said they walked out
for the purpose OF calling the attention
Of the commission to their complaint.
I'VE made several appeals and also
sent "A petition to the COMMISSIONERS
they said, through our superiors. but
when we heard nothing from them we
took the only steps we thought best
to bring our condition to the attention
Of the Commissioners"
