THREAT Of BOMB

New York. Workmen Tell of
Conversation With Driver
of death Wagon"
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON. September 22.-The en-
frances to city hall were placed under
extra police guard today after receipt
OF second threatening communica-.
ton by Mayor Peters.
Watch your building. We are here
from New York. We will get you"
the letter read. The signature was
"HWTx." The letter was mailed in
the Charlestown district yesterday.
Mayor Peters said he was inclined
to regard both the communication of
today and somewhat similar one re-
cefved yesterday as the work of
jokers.
Wofkmen Tell of Driver.
NEW YORK. September 22.-Four
workmen appeared at the municipal
building today and declared they had
spoken with the driver of the death
wagon that figured in the Wall street
explosion last Thursday.
Particular interest was taken in
their story, for Investigators vainly
had sought to establish identity of
the driver among the dead orfs1iving.
The workmen said that FIVE or ten
minutes after the explosion of bomb
wagon, man approached them when
they were standing in front of
street district.
According to their story. the stranger
said his horse and wagon had been
hicle to telephone to his employer.
He said he had been ordered to take
building materials to Wall and Broad
streets. but he had been unable to
find the indefinite address given him.
After talking to the workmen he dis

year-old stenographer, who. claims
also to have seen the driver of the
death wagon before the explosion,
previously had told the district at.
torney that he wore brown overalls.
Revives EarIy Theory.
The workmen's story served to re-
vive an early theory that the expl0-
sion may not have been due to q bomb
plot, but to collision between an
automobile and q wagon filled with
explosives.
While waiting to be quixxed BY off,
Gals of the IRE department at whose
Office they appeared, the workmen
told reporters that many contractors
working in the financial district. when
in need Of explosives, frequently sent
any kind Of wagon for them without
going to the trouble Of obtaining a
permit for their transfer. They ex-
pressed the opinion that blasting
powder and not trinitrotoluol or dy-'
Mantle was the explosive that killed
nearly two score and injured hun
dreds.

STRIKE
DELAYS BUILDING
Steel Construction on New
Addition to The Star Near
Iy Tied Up.

Four members of the Hosting En-
gineers' Union, manning the hoist
ing engines used on the construction
of the addition to The Star building.
today went on strike as the result
of disagreement with members OF the
Elevator Constructors Union, also
at work on the building.
AS result of the "four-man
strike" steel construction and rivet-
ing work on the big new Star addi-
ton on 18th street was largely stop
ped today because of An Internal DIS
agreement among union labor men.
Members of the Elevator ConStruc-
tors Union, in the employ of the Otis
Elevator Company. which has con-
tract with the George A. Fuller Com
pany to put in certain elevators, were
at work on a sidewalk lift. which will
carry papers from the presses IN the
basement to the street level
While the elevator construction
men were drilling the hole for the
elevator, members of the Hosting
Engineers Union claimed that the en-
gineers had the right to operate the
motor for the drill, and served notice
that if one of their men was not put
on side by side with elevator con-
struction men that they would quit
work.
To this proposition the elevator
constructors refused to agree. with
the result that the four members OF
the Hosting Engineers Union
walked out" AS result derrick
work on the building practically came
to a standstill, and the steel con-
struction men were forced to quit
work largely.
Strike of the engineers cut off the
compressed air working the riveting
operations, and the setting of steel
beams on the last story of the addi-
ton ended for the time being.
Those in charge Of the construction,
including the steel men, who had to
quit work, were indignant at the
"walkout" of the four hosting ele-
vator men. ]. G. Bent. superintendent
of the construction for the Fuller
Company. and James Yokum, super
intendent of the Otis Elevator Com
pany here. were in conference this
A mediator from the Department of
Labor's conciliator service was to
take charge of the situation this
afternoon and try to end the anom-
alpus situation existing among the
unions which are at work on the
building.
. 1t was declared that the situation
caused by the hosting engineers is
most unusual in every way, and that
the Otis Elevator men would not con-
cede the right Of the hosting engi-
neers to stand by and watch them
work, when it is the former group
which has the contract with the con-
company.

MAY NOT CHANGE
CADET UN|F 0RM
"Natty AH-Btue" for D. C.
High School Boys Likely to
Be Retained.

There still is probability that no
change will be made this year in the
uniforms of the Washington High
School Cadets. This was made clear
today by Stephen E. Kramer assist
ant superintendent of schools, who
has charge of the cadet organization.
Although plans have been made to
substitute khaki flannel shirts for
the snug-fitting coats, thereby alter
ing the color scheme of the natty all
blue uniforms, Mr.. Kramer pointed
The alteration in the uniforms this
year was planned due to the increased
cost.
Companion Of Cost.
The all-blue uniforms worn by the
cadets in past years will cost about
$35 or $36, school officials have as
certained, whereas by substituting
flannel khaki shirt for the coat the
price can be reduced to $19 or $40.
the uniforms it was stated by school
officials, it was done SO as not to put
financial burden on the freshman
students in the High School who in
Announcement of the contemplated
change in the uniforms, however. has
created dissatisfaction among some
of the cadets, freshman. students and
their parents. Some of the high school
students point out that they have
been employed during the summer va
cation period and have saved suff1-
cient money to purchase the all-blue
outfits. even at the increased cost.
Before making plans to change the
uniforms this year Mr.. Kramer de-
clared that the proposed new outfits
of a blue cap, blue pants and khaki
flannel shirt and a wide web belt were
studied and found to be almost as
as the old garb. The pro-
posed new outfit also was tried on one
OF. the cadets before a decision was
reached to make the change.
Decision Awaits Conference.
The final deterrninatio as to whether
q change in the uniforms will be made
this year will be reached at a con-
ference this week between Assistant
Kramer and principals
of the high schools. If the high
school heads are willing to retain the
former uniforms they will be ordered
despite the increased cost.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Kramer that
a referendum be taken among the
freshman classes at the high schools
to learn whether the new students are
willing to pay the increased cost.
This suggestion, however, was not ap-
proved by the assistant superintend-
ent, he declaring that he did not deem
it wise to leave such question to the
"prebiscite."
