DENIES COMPANY.
BROKE PROMISE.
President Of W. R. & E. Co.
Issues Statement in Reply
To War Department.

william +. Ham. president Of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, last night denied that his
corporation violated its promise to
the War Department in the matter
of taking back former employees
who entered the military service.
He issued a lengthy statement in
reply to TIE demand of the War De-
partment that a citation given the
company for patriotism be returned
because Mai. William S. Sheets, for
mer superintendent OF the conduit
department of the w. r. and E. was
not reinstated.
Mr.. Ham declared that the citation
was never requested in the first place.
In answer to a letter from the War
Department referring to the REIN
statement OF men returned from the
service, the company answered that II
would "re-employ as far as practic-
able all former employees who enter
ed the service, and that the citation
was received following this, Mr.. Ham
declared.
Mr.. Ham said that Mai. Sheets re-
instatement was inpracticable because
another employe had necessarily been
promoted to take his place and that
the latter's old position could not be
offered him without injustice to the
present incumbent

the government printing office was
passed by the House yesterday after
noon with practically no debate. The
representatives OF the employees got
wind OF a move to sidetrack the bill,
yesterday morning, but intense work
among the friends of the measure
brought It to the floor and secured its
passage 1t now goes to the Senate,
to be referred to the Senate commit
tee on printing. but the upper house
is understood to be friendly, which
should mean that the bill will pass
without delay.
Because Of the influx of work re-
sulting in the law requiring all gov

ing Of time OF. Sundays and the Sat
ur1ay half holiday will be utilized to
get out the extra work. In the event
