CONSIDERATION is GIVEN
TO A. F. OF L. PROTESTS
Dismissals to Become Effective
October Is as Routine Steps
Are Taken.

Secretary Of War Dern has approved
dismissal Of As employees Of the Adjutant
Generals Once, War Department.
This action was taken. 1t was said,
after full consideration had been given
to protests filed by the American
Federation of Labor. the National
Federation OF Government Employees
and numerous members of Congress
Practically all employees affected are
married women whose husbands are
on the Government pay rolls in the
War Department or other branches.
Dismissals Effective Oct. IS.
The dismissals become effective
October Is. the employees having been
notified yesterday. Only the routine
step of submitting the names to the
Civil Service Commission remains be-
fore the order becomes binding. Since
no question Of efficiency Is involved,
the commission will approve the rec
ommendation.
Gen. J. F. Mckinley, adjutant gen.
eral Of the Army, who made COM
plete investigation, approved the dis
missal as unavoidable under the red
eral economy act.
Some Of the married women are in
the higher grades Of pay. One. whose
husband is employed in the same office
at S2,7C0 basic salary, receives basic
salary of S2,400. This basic pay OF
$500 a year for husband and wife, 1t
was said today. compares with salaries
of s84 a month, after deductions are
made, received by many of the clerks
with families in the lowest grades.
Among those due for dismissal on
October IS are Mrs. Emile j. Newman,
Mrs Grace r. Andrews and Mrs.
Phyllis P. Lyle. members Of the Gov
eminent Workers Council Of the Ma
bands are employed also by the Gov
eminent.
These women as we'll as others pro-
tested that the situation could have
been taken care Of through furlough.
which would have saved the loss OF
their civil service status.
Other Departments Engaged.
Other departments of the Govern
! ment have and are still wedding out
employees whose husbands or wives are
on the Government pay roll. In ap-
| proving Usmissals in the adjutant gen.
erals office, Secretary Dern has followed
this policy having no choice, it was ex-
planned, to do otherwise.
The matter came to head about two
weeks ago when John Arthur Shaw,
| president at that time Of the National
Federation of Government Employees,
called on Secretary Dern with Frank
Morrison, secretary of the American
Federation of Labor. They protested
| vigorously against the disInissals then
under contemplation. Letters Of pro-
! test from members of Congress also
| poured into the department.
The adjutant generals office is one
Of the largest War Department bureaus
| in Washington The retention Of mar
ried women on the rolls whose husbands
also draw Government pay has long
been bone of contention in the Office.

Unable to break the deadlock be-
tween carpenters and steel workers,

Completion Scheduled in February.
The big buildings were to have been
completed and ready for occupancy

terror work is almost finished, with the
exception of small sections of roof.
Edward A. Burnap. construction SUI
perintendent. declared that after this

would be watchmen. He added that
there was no agreement between the
trade groups in sight.
The labor dispute, brewing for sew

diator Enclosures by steel workers.
Other interior work hinged on the
completion of the radiator Enclosures

tile setting and other activities was
impeded and neither the carpenters or
iron workers would concede jurisdiction

1T was a last resort. this lay-off," Mr..
Burnap said today. The company takes
no sides, but has done its utmost to
bring the groups into agreement. 1t
eventually became apparent that neither
the Department of Labor or the Amer
lean Federation of Labor could arbi-
trate the matter.
Work Possible Tomorrow
"If the carpenters and steel workers
get together we will start the Job to-
morrow morning But the company is
not going to attempt to complete the
buildings with this labor dispute hang
ing fire"
Mr.. Burnap denied a published state
ment, attributed to a spokesman for
the carpenters. to the effect that Stew

out to gain an extension of time"
Our contract calls for completion
of the buildings the latter part of Feb
ruary," Mr.. Burnap said I'VE still can
meet that time and will if we are
permitted to go ahead with the job
under normal labor conditions. The
company needs no extension of time
in SO far as its construction program
to date is concerned.
I'VE will be ready to resume work
once a settlement is reached Mr.. Bur-
nap said. but the Stewart Co. def
nitely will not put men on this job
again until the trade fight is settled
No one at this time can say how long
that will be-"
