BUILDING TRUCE
CALLS BACK 1000
|. C. C.-Labor Department
Structure Dispute Settled
Temporarily.

After temporary agreement for set
tlement Of the jurisdictional dispute be-
tween carpenters and ironworkers on
the new Interstate Commerce Commits
sion-Labor Department Building here,
the 1000 workmen, who had been en-
ployed on the job, have been requested
to return to work Monday morning.
E. A. Burnap, superintendent for
James Stewart g. Co.. general contrac-
tors for the structure, in statement
today asked that all men report to the
job at the regular hour Monday. AL
though the settlement was reached yes
terday through negotiations directed by
the National Labor Board. today was an
idle day, as the crafts work only five
days week.
Announcement of the agreement was
made by the National Labor Board.
Senator Wagner chairman Of the board,
and Edward F. McGrady. Assistant Sec
retary of Labor, had worked out tenn
derstood, by presidents of the two
unions involved William L. Hutcheson
of the carpenters and P. j. MorTin of
the iron workers. Men are to go back
to work while the work in dispute. in
stallation of radiator covers, will be de-
layed until a permanent solution can
be reached on this matter.
Because of the fact, however. that
the radiator covers are tied in with the
plaster. radiators and heating system
and are closely connected with other
work of the buildings. it is understood
considerable rearranging of the work
will have to be done in order to go on
with the job.
The carpenters went on strike Sep
tember l. claiming they should have the
work of installing radiator covers which
was being done by ironworkers. The
job was continued without carpenters
until September IS, when the general
contractor closed the whole project be-
cause progress of the work was out Of
gear waiting for the carpenters.
1t was indicated that more carpenters
probably will be put to work Monday
than were on the job at the time of the
strike. because the carpenter work is
now far behind the other trades.

REQUESTED
FOR ARM0RY PLAN
City Heads Submit Formal
Plea for Fund Grant by
Public Works.

F-gmal request for the immediate
grant of $4,000 for drafting of plans
| for proposed armory for the District
National Guard was sent late yesterday
| to Secretary of the Interior Ickes, pub
lie works administrator. by the District
Commissioners, with arguments for ap-
proval of the petition.
! After 1t was announced a day or two
ago the city heads would make this re-
| quest, Secretary Ickes said he could
| not approve an item for the plans for
such project until the administration
| had determined if money was to be
| allotted for the building construction
| itself. Hoping that the construction
| money will be forthcoming, however,
the Commissioners adhered to their
plans of asking for an additional grant
! for the planning work.
Request Held Justified.
In justification of their request, the
ect presents several aspects that make
1t particularly fitted for favorable con-
| sideration by the Federal Administra-
t1on OF Public Works. The National
Guard OF the District of Columbia has
been declared by the Attorney General
| OF the United States to be Federal Or
ganization and this view is borne out
| Cy the TACT 1t Is under direct control
| of the President of the United States
The armory is urgently needed at the
present time because the National
Guard is now inadequately housed in
| the old National Hotel Sixth street and
Pennsylvania avenue. building located
on the municipal center site, which
| must be destroyed in the course of a
| few years
The project. strongly backed by local
sentiment. has been considered and ap-
proved by the Secretary of War and he
has written to the Beard of Commis-
sioners in support of its adoption.
See Employment Created.
"It is we'll know that many thousand
residents of the District are unemployed
at the present time. Construction of
the armory would render important
relief both in the District and outside.
for it has been estimated that fully IS
per cent of the cost of such building
is involved in purchasing material pro-
duced by labor in some 26 States and
territories
Actual cost of constructing the
armory is estimated at 81 $50 900. The
site proposed is in Anacostia Park at
the end of East Capitol street, already
owned by the Government.

RETAIL SALES TAX
OF 2PCT. URGED HERE

Experiences of 10 States in
Address.

A 2 per cent retail sales tax, as a
partial substitute for the real estate
ad valorem tax in the District. was ad-
vocated yesterday by Daniel E. Casey
field representative of the American
Taxpayers League, Inc, at meeting
of those interested in local tax problems
in the rooms of the Washington Board

here to further the cause
Mr.. Casey recounting the experiences
Of 19 States which have adopted a retail
sales tax, said it was easy and inexpen-
sive to collect, reached large number
Of persons who now pay no direct taxes,
and is productive of large revenues. He
said basing his estimate on 1929 figures
of the Census Bureau, that per cent
tax here would allow a reduction of SO
per cent in the real property taE.
Several speakers said they favored the
sales tax idea. Col. Wade H. Cooper
offered resolution in its behalf, but
the group failed to act after Arthur
Smith suggested that speakers opposed
to the tax be given hearing before
any action was taken. Jesse c. Suter
said that although the sales tax might
be correct in principle, he was hesitant
about sponsoring any new form of tax
here as substitute. for fear Congress
might enact it as additional taxation,
instead Of as substitute
