D. c. ENGINEERS
NOT BEING USED
To END STRIKE
Charge Of Attempt to Send
Them to Terminal De-
cIared Unfounded.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor:
Secretary Frank Morrison and lead
ers Of the local railroad strikers
today called upon the District Com.
missioners to protest against re-
ported intimidation OF stationary
engineers at the sewage pumping
station who, according to labor
reports. had been threatened with
the loss Of their jobs unless they
consented to be shifted to posts in
the Washington Terminal power
tionary engineers.
Engineer Commissioner Kellar de-
clared after the conference an
investigation would be ordered. lie
declared misapprehension seemed to
exist q, to the situation.
The explanation Of the District q
move In the matter came from
Sanitary Engineer r. l.. Gordon,
who declared a canvass Of station.
ary engineers at the pumping sta
tion had been made by Master Ne.
chanic Frank Steele at his insti.
cation. and on order OF the Com.
missioners.
AhS ltldl was the lnIenI
OF the District heads now or at
any time" to attempt to transfer
members Of the plants engineer
Ing force to the terminal. He said
the canvass might be described as
stock taking" in face OF the
protracted rail strike.
Accompanying Gompers and Nor
rison were NeWton A. James, busi-
NaN
and oilers; Charles A. H. Frazier.
business agent for local shop crafts.
men: A. M. Lawson, business agent
others.
We commenced this canvass sew.
eral days ago." Gordon explained. "It
was inaugurated as a stock taking
move In view OF the protracted rail.
road strike. We found that among
the nine licensed engineers at the
pumping station eight are union men
and one non-union.
The idea that we would assign
men to tasks at the terminal Is ab.
solutely unfounded. The Commits
sioners will not make any such trans
fers even II requested. What we
have done for terminal officials Is
to furnish them the names of sta
tionary engineers formerly employ
ed by US. II they wish to attempt
to hire them, they are at liberty TO
do So"
That the terminal heads are badly
In need Of engineers to take the M.
teen vacant posts In the power plants
is demonstrated by this move.
Steele. chief Of the engineers at
the pumping station, himself union
man. was much perturbed when uues.
toned by the union leaders as TO
whether his force was being harrass.
ed. He made full explanation OF
the canvass to Lawson. II is said.

notes that you are q good cook
