U. S. CLERKS TO HAVE
MODEST WAR HOMES
One and Two-Roous Dormitories
Planned Here.

Government homes for the thous-
'ands of new clerks brought here
since war was declared will be- laid
on into single and double rooms, It
was decided by War Department
officials yesterday. Government
grounds near the War Department
and the Union Station plaza will be
used.
1t is not the intention of the War
Department officials to build large
dormftories.
The buildings will be of tempo
Fary construction. Work on the
dormitories will begin as soon as
possible after the administration
housing bill passes Congress. An
appropriation of $4,000, 900 Ia ask
ed in a pending bill to provide tenn
porary government homes for war
workers In munition factories and
other war work centers throughout
the country. How much of this
amount will be spent here has not
yet been decided.
Otto NJ. Eidlitz, chairman of the
housing committee of the Council
Of National Defense, has been asked
to use q dormitory now being built
at Charleston. 8. c., by the Y. NJ. C.
A. for women workers as a model
for temporary homes built in this
city.

MASS MEETING
WILL OPPOSE
BORLAND PLAN
Federal Employees to Voice
Opposition at Typograph-
ical Temple.

Encouraged by q growing sentiment
against tho acceptance Of the Boriand
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priations bill. members Of the Federal
Employees Union announced last
night elaborate plans for q mammoth
mass meeting. to be held next Thurs
day nisht in the Typographical
Temple.
Samuel Gompers. president Of the
American Federation Of Labor. and
numerous members Of both the Senate
and House are expected to be pres
ent and make addresses.
Not only will the Borlsnd amend
ment be discussed. but also the Keat-
ing bill. advocating increases In SAL
ary for all government employees.
Everyone is invited to attend, the mass
meeting.
Representative Edward Keating. Of
Colorado, voiced strong opposition to
the Borland amendment in an inter
view last night. in which he declared
he did not believe President Wilson
and the members Of his Cabinet were
a lot Of incompetent ignoramuses who
have been neglecting the public In
terest"
"T am opposed to the Borland
amendment" continued Mr.. Keating.
because i do not believe that any
employe OF the government should
be compelled to work more than eight
hours, a day. Mr.. Borland evidently
believes that no employe should be
permitted to work less than eight
hours.
'Then / do not believe that Presi-
dent Wilson and the members OF his
Cabinet are a lot of Incompetent igno-
raAnuses. who have been neglecting the
public interest. Under the circum-
stances these gentlemen have an alb
soiute right to change the hours of
their employees. They Aave seen fit to
fix the existing schedule and to adhere
to 1t for five years. There Is nothing
in the record to justify US in question
ing the wisdom Of their decision. Then,
1 am opposed to the amendment be-
cause I do not think this Is a good
time to make such a sweeping change
in the relations between the govern
ment and its workers."
