ISOLATION. HOUSE
URGED BY DOCTOR
Building Suitable for Those
With Minor Contagious Dis
eases Is Advocated.

Provision for a suitable isolation
building for the care Of persons suffer-
ing from minor contagious diseases is
urged by DR.. William C. Fowler, health
officer. in his annual report to the Dis
trict Commissioners, made public today.
DR.. Fowler pointed out that there has
long been an urgent need for such a
building. The present isolating wards at
Garfield and Providence Hospitals are
antiquated, he said, and a modern
structure should be provided and he
would have the facilities provided in the
plan for additions to Gallinger Munich
pal Hospital.
Attempts to Get Funds Fail.
Efforts to secure the NECESSARY funds
to erect and equip modern and suit
able hospital for minor contagious dis
DR.. Fowler. II urgently recommend
therefore, that the plans for the cree
ton of the new buildings at the Gal
linger Hospital be altered so as to pro-
vide for suitable isolation building rs
one of the units of the general scheme
for this municipal institution"
The report showed that the general
death rate in the District in the 1928
calendar year was increased slightly in
comparison with the preceding II
months, whereas the infant mortality
rate continued to decline. The death
rate last year was 1911 per cent for
each 1000 population, he said. while in
1927 it was 1924 per cent. The infant
mortality figures show that for each
1000 children born in 1928, 646 pei
cent died under year of age, whereas
in 1927 the mortality rate was 66.3 per
cent.
Stresses School Health.
DR.. Fowler ais distressed the need for
more adequate medical and dental
service for the public schools. The
present corps of doctors, dentists and
nurses, he said, is entirely inadequate
to give pupils the supervision they
should receive.
1T is of utmost Importance" the re-
port declared, that the children in the
schools of the District be in good physi-
cal condition in order that they may
pursue their studies in a comfortable
and efficient manner"
Examination of pupils in the kinder
garten and first grade, DR.. Fowler ex-
planned. has shown clearly that many
Of them are. working under physical
handicaps that materially interfere with
their courses of study.

OFFICE
WORK IS RESUMED
Treasury Will Not Subdivide
Contracts Between Union
and Non-Union Labor.

Resumption of work on the Govern
ment Printing ONCE addition today
after two months of inaction, marked
definite advance for organized labor
in It's relations with the Governments
100000 building program. The
Treasury Department made known that
henceforth 1t will not sub-divide con-
tracts between union and non-unior
labor.
The controversery that tied up work
on the 81 900 900 addition developed
between the Rust Engineering Co., which
had the contract for structural work
and employed union labor, and the
Virginia Engineering Co., which employ
ed non-union labor on its contract to
do the mechanical work and install
fixtures. When non-union labor ap-
peared on the job, the union labor re-
fused to continue. notwithstanding
there was no disagreement between the
union labor and the Rust Engineering
Co.
The Rust Engineering Co. Is un-
derstood to have negotiated with the
other company for its contract and to
have assured organized labor that only
union labor will be employed in carry
ing ouI Tile Work. 1He SeItleHeHI was
agreeable in detail to the Washington
Building Trades Council.
Delay Results in Damage.
Structural iron workers. bricklayers,
hosting engineers and their helpers
were at work today. The two months
idleness resulted in damage to some OF
the building operation, it was said
necessitating the tearing down Of scat
folding and some of the wall work.
Reports were current in labor circles
that the Rust Engineering Co. had to
pay the Virginia Engineering Co. the
full amount it stood to realize on the
completed job. In demanding payment
Of the contract price, which was said
to embody an expected profit Of $4,000
the Virginia Engineering Co.. it was
said, was within its rights as enunciated
in cases at law involving the failure
of carrying out contract through no
fault of the defaulting company
The position taken by the Virginia
Engineering Co. throughout the nego-
tiations was that it was prepared to
continue work and had men ready to
carry out its contract when the Rust
Engineering Co. gave them the build
ing. Their failure, the company con-
tended, was chargeable to the Rust En-
cheering Co., which could not prevail
on its employees to resume operations.
Treasury Outlines Policy.
Details of the settlement was not
made known, but 1t was said that the
Rust Co.. probably would sublet the
contract for fixtures and similar work
to union labor. e. M. Rust, president of
the company, said today he had watched
the negotiations break down so many
times In the last two months he did NOT
know what had happened, except that
work had been resumed, to the satisfac-
ton of labor and the Treasury Depart
ment.
The Treasury Department reserves
the right to accept the lowest bid on
any construction work without regard to
whether the bidder employs union OF
non-union labor. but has laid down the
policy that it will not divide contracts
on individual jobs among the contesting
labor groups.

the lack of information to account for
the long night labors of Undersecretary

for his guidance in the discussions with
Prime Minister Macdonald, Cancelled
his evening engagements yesterday and
secluded himself with extra assistants
in his own office after three -hour
conference at which President Hoover
discussed the situation with State and
Navy Department officiais.
That conference was described In
well informed circles as having mo
special Importance" but no mixing was
given about what took place and Cotton
declined to give any hint as to the
nature Of the task which kept him
busy far into the night.
