WAY TO END LABOR
DISPUTES SOUGHT
Need to Avert Trouble Like
GarfincKeI Building Row
Seen by Contractors.

Imperative need" for a method to
settle iurisdictional disputes among
building trade; unions, such as resulted
in strike of employees in the construc-
ton of the JULIUS Garfinckle Building at
Fourteenth and F streets, was reiter-
ated today by the presidents cabinet
of the Associated General Contractors,
in meeting here in the Munsey Build
ing
The Garfinckle case was not men,
toned specifically by the building Off
Gals. However, the difficulty which
arose when union carpenters and metal
workers disagreed as to which group
should do certain work is regarded as
typical of Misunderstanding which
the contractors termed costly and use-
less"
A. E. Horst of Rock Island, ILL.,, and
Philadelphia, president Of the Asso-
ciated General Contractors, said that
joint conferences of representatives of
the National Association of Building
Trades Employers and the building
trades department of the American
Federation of Labor, which have been
in progress for four months, probably
would present for final approval plans
for adjuticating such disputes at a
meeting in Atlantic City July %.
Commenting on building conditions
generally, Mr. Horst said that drastic
decline" of Al per cent as compared
with last year has been noted in the
volume of residential building in the
first six months of 1880. Among the
contributing factors to this condition,
he said, are the unregulated activities of
speculative builders, lack of proper pro-
vision for supplying second mortgage
financing on conservative basis at low
cost, lack of organization of legitimate
home builders and other residential con-
tractors and the existence of unsound
appraisal practices.

TREASURY CREATES
NEW APPEALS BOARD
Disputes Under Tariff Act Will Be
Handled by Division in Charge
of Charles Stevenson.

A division of appeals and protests
has been formed in the Customs Bu-
reau, it was announced by the Treas
ury, to handle new business which
has arisen under the new tariff act
The division will be under Charles
Stevenson, now supervising customs
agent, at Tampa, Fla. 1t will handle
protests from importers regarding rates
and from organized labor relative to
imported commodities alleged to have
been dumped into the United States
and sold at an unfair price in COM
petition with American industry and
labor. In addition it will handle all
matters relating to countervailing
duties, bounties and other subjects.
Another subject which will be han
died by the division is the administra-
ton of provisions of the new tariff act
which authorize the Secretary of the
Treasury to pass upon appeals and
protests by American manufacturers,
producers or wholesalers, whether i'm
ports are valued too low or assessed at
too low a rate of duty.

HUNDREDS SEEKING
VETERAN BENEFITS
1000 Hospital P attic n t S
Canvassed Personally by
Contact Men.

Veterans of the World War are be-
sieging the regional Office of the
United States Veterans Bureau to OBJ
tain benefits granted by the last ses-
sion of Congress. So great has become
the pressure that it is likely, accord
ing to officials in charge, that addi-
tional help may have to be shifted to
this branch of the work.
Application blanks are on file at the
Office, located at 1910 street, and rep
resentatives OF the bureau are on hand
to explain to the veterans their rights
in the matter.
1900 Veterans Being Canvassed.
The 1000 patients of the Veterans
Bureau located in three hospitals here,
Walter Reed, Naval Hospital and st.
Elizabeth's, are being personally can
vassed by contact men from the bureau
each receives the full benefit of the
new law.
Already several hundred applicants
have appeared at the regional Office on
I street, and the number is expected
to increase.
The same situation exists at the
So other regional offices of the bureau
throughout the United States, accord
ing to Col. George E. Ijans, assistant
director of the bureau.
So thoroughly prepared has the
bureau been that Col. Ijams expects
benefits to begin before another month
passes.
Expenditures to Increase.
Additional balm for war scars pro-
vided in the new act will amount to
about $25, 281 900 by the end of next
year, it Is estimated, and it will in
crease yearly, reaching about $80,570,-
600 during 1885. These sums are in
addition to the half billion dollars now
being spent by the Veterans Bureau
About 10000 former soldiers made
eligible for relief for the first time since
the war ended will share the new
bounty by the end of 1881. They will
increase in number annually, reaching
about 100000 in five years.
The new act provides that any hon.
orably discharged veteran now dis
abled shall receive an allowance from
Uncle Sam. Previously he had to dem
onstrate that his infirn1ity was the re-
suit of war service. The only condition
for receiving the relief is that the dis
ability be permanent and not the re-
suit of willful misconduct
I'VE are doing everything humanity
possible to get the benefits. to the vet
Grams without delay" Col. Ijams said.
The new bill does not provide for
additional personnel for administration
of the act. although it lays a gargan-
tuan new task upon the shoulders of
the Veterans Bureau.
Details Wait on Hines.
Some administrative details cannot be
worked out until Director General
Hines, already named administrator Of
veterans affairs, is confirmed.
He then will take the reins of the
veterans administration, co-ordinated
headquarters of all Federal govern
mental relief for war veterans. His bu-
reau will be the largest single Govern
ment administration agency in the Ma
TONS history.

TWO GyPS|ES HELD
AFTER HARD CHASE
Chinese Restaurant Keeper
Says Pair Took $3.50
Cash From Him.

The gypsy trail which led squad
of Washington detectives to a couple of
gypsy girls they were trailing yesterday
was long and arduous if weary muscles
and travel-stained clothing ever spelled
hardship.
AS a travelling companion, the de-
tectives took along Chinese restaurant
keeper, James Der. who was anxious to
overtake the fugitives, no matter how
many hurdles they led him over.
The Chinese had 100 reasons to urge
him on, all of which were ST bills. The
detectives, a shade less enthusiastic,
were nevertheless anxious to bring the
girls to Washington, several persons
here having questions to ask them.
Had Told His Fortune.
The girls, James said, had told his
fortune. They gave him a rosy but
inaccurate future, however. having
failed to mention that he was to suffer
financial loss and then would take a
long journey.
In Arlington County yesterday morn
ing the detectives, Arthur T. FINELY,
N. S. Hodkinson, r. j. Cox, James j.
Springmann and b. C.. Kuehling, got
wind of the gypSies, about 80 of them.
The gypsies, however, had never
heard of the two girls unless, of course,
they we're the pair who left in a motor
caravan for the mountains near the
Shenandoah Valley.
The mountains near the Shenandoah
Valley, the detectives learned when
they got there, were full of about 300
gypsies, none of whom had heard Of
the girls in question.
Automobile Sighted.
Back the weary policemen turned to
South Washington, Va, and there
glimpsed several gypsy automobiles
going out of town rapidly.
From one of them, the detectives were
informed by native, pair of girls
had just alighted and started across
country. The officers also started across
country, making fair progress except in
the briar patches and stony thickets.
The search went on, and at nightfall
the Arlington County police were as
sisting, but the girls were still at large
Several hours later. about 10 O'Clock,
one of the pair, her red-and-green
through the underground, showed up
in a gypsy camp under surveillance
and was arrested.
This girl, Mrs. Ada Mitchell, % years
old, fell into the hands of police Short
ly before her alleged companion, Miss
Mabel Stanley, two years younger, met
like fate.
Money Not Recovered.
The Chinese, although he did not
cheer up any when his $3.50 could not
be located, was certain he recognized
them both. An hour after they told
his fortune, he said, he discovered his
money was missing from his hip pocket,
mystery which deepened in view of
the fact that he had been sitting down
most of the time
Another alleged victim, Mrs. Mary
Curtin of 1854 Eleventh street, had &C
companied the police in their travels
through Virginia. She said the Mitchell
woman was the same who told her for
tune and then stole $38 from her.
The girls were being held for investi-
cation today while police continued
their questioning with view to clear
ing up several similar complaints of
theft within the past few weeks.
