same time as Lawrence as an aviator.
He was wounded in France, his hip
dislocated and his back wrenched. He
was in the hospital six weeks. then
was sent to England on coast duty,
guarding the English channel He,
with two others, sighted a sub, flew
over it and tried to drop bombs, but
the machine failed. They tried three
times with the same result, and as
they made the third flight. the sub
came up. sighted them and fired. The
machine and one man were blown to
pieces. and Fred and the other man
were picked up, after four hours in
the water. After another hospital eX-
perience, Fred came home for two
months leave Then he may choose
between going to the states to train
aviators or returning to France.

Wonder Just How
Long Gardiner Is
Named to Serve

Is w. Gwynn Gardiner, the new
Commissioner, appointed for a full
term of three years or to fill the
unexpired term of Major Oliver P.
Newman, resigned?
This question arose at the Dis
trict building today when the fol-
lowing was noted in the Congress
sional Record of September 20
under nominations: "W. Gwynn
Gardiner, of the District OF Col
umbia, to be a Commissioner OF
the District of Columbia for the
term expiring July 13, 1919, vice
Oliver P. Newman, resigned"
The question was referred to
DR.. William Tindall, assistant sec
rotary to the Board OF Commits
sioners and an authority on mat
tiers relating to the local govern
ment. Mr.. Tindall hunted up an
opinion. of former Attorney Cen
eraI Devens rendered in 1880, In
which the Attorney General held
that the term Of a Commissioner
of the District is for three years,
dating from the day he takes the
oath OF office.

nize the demands OF the union The
taiiors held a meeting In their rooms
at S11 E street this morning and are
stanch In maintaining that they will
not return to work until their union Is
recognized. They also express their
confidence that the men employed by
the John @. Haas Company, S2b Con-
necticut avenue. will be drawn into
the walkout before the day Is over.
The immediate cause Of the trouble
was a union wage scale that was sent
out by Local 1888 Tailors' Union to the
tailoring firms last Friday. Several
companies have granted the increase
demanded, while others have not. The
scale asked for 20 cents extra on each
military coat and pair OF pants, 80
cents extra for cuffs, So so extra for
sewing fiat braid on overcoats, S1.50
extra for hood on any coat. extras
not mentioned at the rate Of so cents
an hour. and various other increases
In the rate OF pay for piece-wOrk.
The tailors say that theywant their
share Of the high prices that are being
charged officers for their uniforms:
the employers say that they are I'M
able to meet the demands contained in
the scale presented them by the
union
