D. c. Workers. PLAN
FIGHT FOR RAISE
May Seek Other Jobs After
Shrine Convention If
Demands Denied.

A large group of per diem laborers
and mechanics in the municipal serv-
ice are threatening to quit their jobs
with the District and seek other en-
ployment after the Shrine convention
is over unless they are given a wage
increase, it became known today.
Talk of resigning was freely heard
at meeting of the white section of
the City Employees Association in
Musicians Hall. 1905 E street, last
night when President Frank ]. Bres-
nahan reported that Engineer Com
missioner BesSon is unwilling to call
the wage board into session at this
time.
Some of the men, Bresnahan said
jobs Immediately, but all were pre-
vailed upon, he said. to make no move
until after Shrine conclave ends.
Joint Meeting June =.
The meeting adjourned with the
understanding that nothing would be
done until June z, when there will
be a joint session of the white and
colored sections Of the association to
take up again the wage question.
President Bresnahan laid emphasis
today on the statement that the men
have no thought of striking. "They
feel confident" the head of the or
ganization declared, that they can
obtain work from private sources at
better wages than they are receiv-
ing in the District service"
Bresnahan told his men last night
that Maj. Besson informed him the
department heads of the engineer de-
partment are not in favor of having
the wage board convened now.
The per diem group includes car
penters, bricklayers and similar me-
chanicS, who now receive approx
imately $6 per day, as well as labor
ers, receiving half that sum. Mr..
Bresnahan called particular attention
to the street cleaning force. These
men, he said. receive S2.72 per day,
from which they must equip them
selves with two white uniforms. The
president of the association declares
these men are not allowed to wear
patched uniforms, but must obtain
new ones when the old suits become
torn.

Sympathy

Last summer, when / lost my cow,
my heart was much cast down, and
with a bleak and furrowed brow |
journeyed through the town. l
walked like some one in trance,
lost in dismal wood; and some
bestowed on me a glance, to show
they understood. The sympathy
that's unexpressed except by glance
or tear is comforting to the dis
tressed, but words offend the ear.
But some there are who hold that
talk will heal the wounded soul,
and they would chase me round a
block to soothe me and condole. "1t
was hoe to u.s." they said, "a
bitter, cruel blow, to hear your
brindled COW was dead-we knew
you loved her so. Such news as
that is bound to rouse a passion of
regret, but cheer up, there are other
cows, you'll have a new one yet |!
Don't think that life's a wintry frost
because your COW is dead; don't
mourn the brindled cow that's lost,
but buy you one that's red" How
blatant words will scar the heart
when we are deep in woe! Yet
friends will stop us in the mart and
jolt and plague us so! They have
intentions fine, perchance, although
their style is poor; a furtive tear,
a kindly glance, is all we can endure
