USE of WAR
STRUCTURES
DENOUNCED

of Employees Union.

"A jeopardy to life. health and val.
liable records" Is the criticism Of tbs
action OF the Congressional Public
Buildings Commisslon IN abandoning
rented holdings Tor temporary struct-
ures built 20 house war activities
made IN a report today BY a special
engineering COMMITTEES, named by the
Federal Employees Union.
THE following four complaints are
made by the COMMITTEES.
Owing to their poor construction
the buildings are likely 20 be 80 cold
IN winter and 50 warm in summer as
70 be unfit for use except IN times Of
great national emergency.
For the same reason they are
structurally unsafe for the purpose
suggested
An unjustihably great are risk. both
to personnel and to valuable records,
is incurred.
In view Of the Disadvantages and
expenses Incurred N making these
changes the monetary saving is not
sufficient % justify the move.

One Of the buildings inspected By
the engineering committee was that

strong for Office purposes the eonceh-
tTation Of load such as a central letter
hle, or a library, should be preceded
by q thorough Investigation and the
portion to be loaded reinforced. The
probable life Of the building is set at
rbout three years when, On the opin-
ion Of the committee, decay OF fOun-
UaCion timbers probably win make
necessary repairs so extensive as 20
be inadvisable. Criticism also Do d.
reeted against the ventilation.
The principal objection, however"
the report continues, "to the use Of
these temporary buildings for the
permanent housing Of Government de-
partments Is an economic one. The
chief reason Of the Public Buildings
Commission In making these moves
has been, according to the report. to
reduce the Governments rent bin.
Challengrs smoops FiEureu.
''In a report to the Senate made on
July s, Senator Smoot, chairman OF
the commission. claimed a net saw
ing Of $35G,5OO.T6 By a series Of these
shifts. The committee claims that is
not a net saving since no account ia
taken Of the financial and other costs
required Of an organization affected
in complying with the commissions
order"
To prove this latter objection the
engineering committee states that

culture, vacating 32,980 square feet

enue, william f. Ham, president OF
he company, said today.
Mr.. Ham stated that his company
would increase the pay OF its men at
4 rate similar to the increase made
yesterday by the Captal Traction
company.
1--WE viii follow the action OF the
Traction Company just as soon as the
commission ahords US adequate re-
lief" Mr.. Ham said
A conciliator from the Department
OF Labor will confer next week with
officials Of the W. r. and e.. and a
committee from Local s75, kmaIga-
m&ted Association Of Street and Elec-
trio Ratlwaymen, in an effort TO ad-
just the wage scale Of employees Of
me company according to James
Largay, international vice president
Of the Amalgamated.
LarEay Asked Conellintor.
Largay said he had conferred yes
terday with Department OF Labor Of
hcials, who assured him the depart
meut would take q hand. President
Ham az the last conference with the
committee representing the Amalga-
mated stated he would be glad to
talk to the men at any time.
Mr. Ham was asked today about
the conference, but stated he knew
nothing about IT, Upon hearing the
statement Of Mr.. Largay, he refused
to make any statement.
There seems to be little possibility
that the company will meet fully the
demands Of the local for the increase.
President Hams attitude sens to be
that an increase Of 3 cents an hour
Is sufficient. The men ask for an
increase OF about 25 cents an hour.
President Ham says this demand Is
unreasonable" and indicates the
company would not even consider
such q raise in pay.

Washington Railway and Electric
Company for an increase in street car

lcient innerVation Of the digestive
tract, Of the circulatory apparatus
and OF other structures"
The physician says that the mus
cles rapidly reveal signs Of fatigue.
EVen the grip Of the patient is found
q be weak. In keeping with this
muscular exhaustion there Is q d..
minished inhibition Of the tendon re-
deEes. There are irreEularly recuu-
ring contractions OF small bundles Of
musculsr dbers, more often In the
face and extremeties, with occasional
cramps in the calves Of the leg
There are aches and pains IN the
trunk Of the body the limbs, the
head. These sensations are always
brought on or made worse by exer-
ton and disappear or grow less upon
rest Insomnia 30 very frequent
Digestive Trouble.
The digestive disturbances are pri-
marily caused BY weakness. The pa
tient often feels no distress immedi-
ately after taking food, but later may
have sensations Of weight, oppression,
and general discomfort. There IS most
often constipation. There Is not a
sufficient dow Of nervous energy to
the glands and muscular coats OF the
stomach and inte8dnes to allow
enheF q sufficient secretion Of gastric
or intestinal Juice.
As 20 circulation, there is the same
sort Of deficient tnnervation- There is
often coldnesg Of the eLtremities. The
most striking circulatory disturbance,
DR.. Dercum says Is palpitation Of
the heart

is also q marked diminution in the

viii power. He iB unable to decide
with his usual readiness matters Of
business or even trivial matters.
Everything that requires effort re-
mains undecided. Ordinarily there Is

Dr Dereum says that there Is

Depending upon official bulletins and
