the conclusion to have the teachers

However. with the passage yester-
day Of the appropriation bill without
a clause providing for the increase
to be made retroactive to January /.
the committee Immediately changed
its plans and decided that the honus
would be requested.

senting the various schools in the city

ANAL arrangements for the mass meet
ing Friday night when Congress will
be asked to grant them the bonus. 1t

senting the City Club. Hugh F. Nc

ASKS INQUIRY INTO
DRIVERS ARRESTS
Postmaster Chance Charges
Police Are Unfair to Mail
Chauffeurs.

City Postmaster Chance today asked
Maj Gessford. superintendent of police,
to investigate the recent series of ar
rests OF drivers Of city post office
trucks.
Serious charges were preferred by Mr..
Chance against several of the members
| or the traffic squad. ii being averred
| tfat despite the fact that the post office
drivers were cooperating with the po-
lice more arrests of drivers had taken
place in the past several weeks than in
! the past year.
Charges Against TraAic Squad.
1t Is charged that member of the
tramc squad stopped a mail car one
afternoon near the residence of the Sec
rotary OF State. and, despite the postal
regulations which forbid forcible entry to
the seat OF car. climbed into the seat
and attempted to beat the colored driver
on the head
The city postmaster also instanced a
recent case at 18th street and Column
bia road, in which a postal collection
truck was struck by an automobile,
the driver of which admitted that he
was driving fast to get to a debate.
When the postal truck driver at
tempted to secure witnesses from the
crowd. according to Mr. Chance, a
member of the police traffic squad
ordered him back to his seat, and re-
fused to allow the driver to secure
witnesses in his favor, although an
other policeman told the driver that
he had the right SO to do.
The charges came as elimination of
recent series of arrests of drivers of
city post Office automobiles which Of
ficials of the city post Office believe
unwarranted. Some months ago
Lieut.. Shelby of the traffic squad met
with officials of the city post office
and with the 100 members of the Post

rules and regulations were gone over.
and every assurance of cooperation
given.
Seven Drivers Lose Jobs.
Carrying out the agreement. the city
postmaster has discharged from the
service all men who were arrested for
speedy driving and convicted. Seven
men, in pursuance of this agreement,
it is declared. have been discharged
from tn city post office staff OF drivers.
All post office drivers are cognizant
of this action, and have been assured
that similar fate will overtake all
who are similarly arrested and con-
victed. Yet the arrests continue. and
the post office officials feel that their
men are not to blame in many cases.
1t is alleged that one of the seem
ingIy favorite actions of members of
the traffic squad against city post Of
flee automobile drivers recently is to
arrest men for driving up behind
parked automobiles and allowing the
car to stand five minutes while deliv-
ering parcel post packages.
The postmaster had the assurance,
he declared. that this action of post
office cars which could not park owing
to cars already occupying the parking
space downtown. IS allowable and per-
MISSILE. SO long as the postal car does
not remain more than five minutes.

BRICKLAYERS DECIDE
THEY WILL NOT STRIKE

Union bricklayers will not support
a strike Of the Building Trades Coun-
Gil or Of laborers' unions.
This statement was issued today
by President John ". Gleason of the
District of Columbia Bricklayers'
Union. No. l. who said:
The Bricklayers' Union is not
bound to support any strike of labor
ers or other building tradesmen. since
it is not affiliated with the Central
Labor Union. nor with the American
Federation of Labor.
Our relations with employers at
present are amicable. Our members
have no intention of walking out and
are DESTROYS of continuing the pres
ent relations with employers. All OF
our men are now at work and have
continued at work during the labor
ers' strike. We can see no need for
a waikout and l believe that 1t Is the
sentiment of the organization that
there will be none on the proposition
of support of laborers' unions"

SAYS LEAGUE, AS ISSUE,
LOST IN MASSACHUSETTS
Senator Walsh Believes Democrats
in Other States Will Vote
Against Covenant

Senator Walsh of Massachusetts,
who returned today to Washington,
after taking part in the primaries in
Massachusetts yesterday. said that
the reports coming to him by wire
indicated that in every case where a
candidate had announced himself in
favor of the league of nations he had
been defeated
Senator Walsh is one of the demo-
Gratis who supported the Senate res
ervations to the peace treaty, oppos-
ing the administration in this matter.
Massachusetts is the first state in
which a direct vote of the democrats
had been held on the league of ma
tions proposition, Senator Walsh said.
He expressed the opinion. however,
that the rank and file of the demo-
cratic voters in other states also
would oppose the league of nations
if given an opportunity.
He pointed out that the action in
Missouri by the democrats against
Senator Reed. an opponent of the
league of nations. had been taken in
convention and not in an election by
the democratic voters.
