President Wilson wfll be asked to.
day to grant an audience to represen-
tatives OF the Federal Employees

great petition, signed by more than
half a million Federal employees and
sympathizers, for wage increases to
Government clerks.
The legislative committee of the
union met yesterday but decided to
wait until the President had set q
definite date before adopting any
presentation plans. H. NJ. McLarin,

tically all Government employees in

signatures were sent out by the Fed
eral Employees Union when the fight

ART EXHIBIT MOST
POPULAR HELD HERE
Attendance Larger and Enthu-
siasm Greater Than
Ever Before.

The attendance was larger by far,
the interest and enthusiasm greater,
and more pictures were sold than at
any OF our previous exhibitions"
This was the statement today OF c.
Powell Minnigerode, director of the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, in respect to
the sixth annual exhibition of pic
lures by contemporary american
artists which closed yesterday after
Closed . Week or More.
The gallery will remain closed until
the regular pictures of the gallery
are hung again. This probably will
take until February /.
Despite the bad weather, more than
100 persons visited the gallery be-
tween 1880 and 8 o'clock the exhibit
ton hours yesterday This was
larger than the usual Sunday attend
ance. 1t IL estimated that nearly
10000 persons visited the gallery dur
ing the progress OF the exhibition
Interest Due to Contest.
Much OF the interest engendered,
officials of the gallery state, was due
to the popularity contest, in which
every visitor voted for his or her
favorite picture. The winning artist,
Miss Lydia Field Emmett got $500.
Additional interest has eentered
around the controversy among artists
themselves about the award of the
first William A. Clark prize OF $4,000
and the Corcoran gold medal to q
painting by Davies.

Committee Would Permit Presi-
dents Family to Hear More
Varied Program.
DEPART FROM THREE AIRS
Catalogues Containing All
Band Numbers Will Be Scan
ned Before Parade.

Denatured, renovated, dry-cleaned,
expurgated. censored, and a lot of
other things-tha.'s what's going to
happen to the musical programs to
b. rendered by tie 500 or more bands
which are to march down Pennsyl-
vania avenue on March 3, as q part
OF the inaugural procession.
And about this denatured, reno
waited etc, musical program, there
develops q story-a story as intense
and as thrilling In its interest as any
thing passed upon by the movie scenc
sors in recent years.
1t all started back some years aEd
when bands from Oshkosh, Hatties-
burg, Kankakee, and the like, prepar-
ing for the great quadriennial event
In Washington, decided upon the same
trio of airs to be played while pass
Ing by the Court of Honor, where are
seated the President, his family, Of
ficial, and otherwise, and other
celebrities.
Heard Same Airs.
Hail to the Chief" Marching
Through Georgia" and Dixie" in
most instances were the airs selected.
The result was that whenever a band
In the past came In sight of the Presi-
favorites would be struck up.
Variations OF Hail 10 the Chief"
which was converted into q march,
two-step, a one-step, a fox trot. a
waltz, or any one Of a dozen other
tempos, followed. Five or six hours
Of this, and the court OF honor occu>
pants would begin to nod and won
der IL there were. only three airs In
the whole world.
Music to He Censored.
So, to prevent q recurrence of such
repetition, the military organizations
committee of the inaugural commit
tee, is going to censor the music be-
fore 1t is played. =
There are going to be at least 500
bands in the parade, Colonel Harper
says. That means 500 different airs,
II no repeats" are allowed.
Are there 500 different tunes by
which soldiers and clubs can march?
It IL up to Maj. Gen. Hugh L Scott,
the grand marshal: Maj. Gen. Tasker
H. Bliss, chief OF stan, and Brig. Gen.
Carroll A: Devol, adjutant general, to
answer this question
Task II DIfheuft One.
Musical catalogues containing every
piece OF sheet music yet printed: rec
ords for talking machines and player
pianos must be studied, and, in all
probability, the committee will be
forced to station itself on street cor
ners and listen to the various airs
whistled or hummed by the passing
throngs, in its effort to get together
a sufficient number of selections to
go around.
The musical part OF the program
will cause the committee much more
concern than will the selection Of the
kind and quality of drum majors to
be allowed in the parade. As stated
in The Times yesterday, freak band
leaders, In all probability, will be
barred, and none but sedate, dignified,
and military loking figures will be al
lowed to twirl their batons and march
in front OF their musical organiza-
lions.
General Scott and his committee
will meet in a day or two to decide on
the musical program.

Curious Situation Might Result
If Employee Demands
Are Refused.
DECISION EXPECTED sooH
Gompers May Be Called on to
Lead Walkout Against Body
Which He Heads.

The executive council Of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor Is to de-
eide this week whether there shall
be q strike among its employees.
The curious spectacle OF the Fed
GRAFTON paying out money to conduct
q strike against itself may become q
reality IL the council refuses to grant
the demands of its employees, who
are seeking q SO day minimum wage
and mors agreeable working condi-
lions.
/ II President Gompers sanctions ths
proposition OF q strike, q vote on
which will be taken after the decision
of the council this week, the inter-
ests OF the Federation will be great
ly split up by its own president lead
ing a strike against IL In behalf Of
the clerical employees.
Proposition Up To Council
J. 2. Giles, president Of the stenog-
raphers', Typewriters, BookkeeperS
and Assistants Union, said today the
proposition il now up. to the council,
and on Its decision al to whether IL
will grant salary increases will de-
pend the next move OF the union
Briefly the complaints OF the clerks
union which have been under discus
sion In numerous conferences between
its representatives and A +. OF L Of
ficers are:
A demand for 50 day minimum
wage scale
Demand sevsn-H0ur Day.
Demand for q sevsn-hour day with
half holidays on Saturdays. The Fed
Grafton is willing to grant the en-
ployes q seven and one-half-hour day,
with half holidays on Saturdays. The
clerks say this Is no concession, a.
they have enjoyed 1t for years.
Demand for a change in the man
ner Of adjusting differences between
employers and employees.
The Federation has refused all OF
these, q statement issued by the sec
rotary OF the union, Miss Margaret
Stewart, declares.
President Giles said this morning
no meeting of his union would be
called until after the council has act
ed on the demands of the clerks. He
intimated that this Is the last move
for the union before calling a strike
vote unless it's demands are met.
Day Minimum Wage.
The principal demands were for the
50 a day minimum wage: 5000 annual
horizontal increase in salaries for en-
ployes of the Federation and the In
ternationabr1Associati of Machinists.
These demands were fatty refused
by the Federation.
The union wants arbitrators OF dis
putes arising between employer and
employe to consist of one clerk, one
labor official, and a third to be Sc
lected by these two. The Federation
stipulates that the arbitration coun-
ell be composed exclusively of trade
unionists.
The executive council OF the Fedora
ton will be in session all this week
matters that have come
up during the last six months.
