.|RONWORKERS MAY
TIE UP BUILDING
Will Strike Unless Demand
for SIPS an Hour Is Grant
ed by Tomorrow.

A strike Of structural ironworkers
which would tie up all large building
operations in the District, will be
eaiieo tomorrow unless demands for
wage increases are granted by their
employers. This prediction was made
last night by an official Of the struc-
turai lronworkers' union.

Now Receive 50 Cents an Hour.
Inc structural ironworkers about
slA weeks ago presented to their en-
ployes demands for an increase in
wages from SO cents to $1.25 an hour.
ihe agreement under which the men
nave been working for a year at S8
cents an hour expired Thursday. but
the master ironworkers were given
uhtl tomorrow to refuse or to grant
the increase to $1.25 an hour.
Representatives of the ironworkers'
union have conferred with representa-
tives of the employers on three oc-
casions since the demands for an in
crease were presented, but no agree
ment was definitely reached. One of
the employers representatives stated
emphatically last night that present
conditions do not justify them in
granting an increase, and all the
employers will not accede to the in
creased demands. On the other hand,
union officials believe that by tomor-
row night the wage dispute will be
amieably settled.
Voted Thursday to Strike.
A special meeting of ironworkers
was held Thursday night in their
headquarters at 7th street and Penn
sylvania avenue, when a definite de-
cision to strike was reached. Another
meeting Of the union probably will
be called either tonight or tomorrow.
Officials of the ironworkers' union
estimate that there are between sixty
and seventy-five of their members
employed on building operations in
Washington. If a strike is called, they
say, many of these men will leave
the city to seek employment in other
cities, where structural ironworkers
are receiving $11 day and 81 addi-
tiona1 for expenses.

nouncement was made last night by
L. A. Sterne, an organiser of the
American Federation of Labor. y"
| The increase of Is per cent was Of

wages of s25 month. Whether this
rate of increase will be accepted by
the employees is a matter Of conjec-
ture, it was stated by Organizer
Sterne, as the 25 per cent raise offered
only adds about SIT a month to their
wages This question, however, will
be thoroughly thrashed out at a meet

which these terminal employees are af-
filiated. ..,; -
A conference between officials. of

Mr. Sterne said he would bring the
matter to the attention of the proper
authorities in an effort to have them
licensed and a fair rate of charge es-
tablished. Under the present sys-

licensed hackers are oyercharging the

Increases OF $40 month and re-

Sterne pointed out that at the time
the $40 increase was granted the
union to which these employees belong
also had an understanding with Off
Gals of the company that unless a
further increase Of SIS a month was
granted the men in the near future
some drastic action would be taken.
1t is over these demands that the
present controversy exists.
Mr. Sterne: contends that SIS a
month increase for these men Is a
fair proposition in view of the fact
that the federal railroad labor board
of Chicago granted the American Elk

of $3.50 a month and q maximum of

local health department as leper
The recommendation was made fol-
lowing an investigation of charges
which Centlivre made to Representa-
tive James O'Connor OF Louisiana of
the manner in which he claims he
was treated while in the military
service. '.-'
Centlivre came to this city several
months ago from leprossa rum in
louisiana louisiana, his home state. and local
health authorities are endeavering
to have him returned. He is being
cared for at the cottage on the
eastern branch formerly occupied by
John Early.
Cruel Treatment Charged.

IN confinement at Camp Beaureeard.

ne mad never received proper medical
treatment or consideration from the

Gen. Harris, adjutant general OF

statement that 1t had been approved

It was found that Lieut.. Col. Byron

nation at the time of his enlistment,
