Master Builders Withdraw
Compromise 0ffer-Car-
penters Elect.

With all efforts failing to settle any
of the three building trades strikes
here. an informal movement has been
started to try to get the carpenters
to submit their strike to arbitration.
The carpenters have turned down
two compromise offers arranged at
conferences with District Commits
sioner George z. Allen, and it was not
known whether they would consent
to arbitration.
The carpenters balloted on officers
last night and votes were being
counted today.
william L. Hutchinson, international
president of the carpenters. has been
approached about the matter of arbi-
tration. but is understood to take the
position that he would let the local
body decide,
No Meetings Scheduled.

negotiations conducted under direc-
ton of Commissioner Allen. The
Commissioner conferred yesterday
with o. C. Rickard and Albert Caya

partment.

of the master builders was sl.10 for

third was $l25 for an eight hour day.

j. s. PROMOTIONS
UP TO PRESIDENT
New Economy Legislation
Held Dependent on Roose-
veIt's Attitude.

Promotions in Government service
in the next fiscal year, authorized by
the new economy legislation. will be
dependent to q certain extent on the
attitude of President Roosevelt. ac-
cording to a ruling laid down today
by Controller General McCarl to the
Secretary of the Navy.
The new law restores administrative
promotions-suspended two years ago
wherever any ONCE is able to effect
savings that will care for the increased
cost of such advances.
In his ruling to the Navy head
Controller General McCarl said that
money saved by the non-filling of
vacancies could be used for this pur-
pose provided the President would
permit its release from impoundment
The controller general also apparently
paved the way for promotions to be
made on the basis of funds saved by
furloughing employees.
That section of his opinion dealing
with promotions follows:
las a prerequisite to any such ad-
ministrative promotions during the
ing Of the amount specifically appro-
priated or apportioned for persons

activity involved. and q showing a.

pay the salaries for an entire veal
of all positions. whether filled ol

The difference, If any, between
said two amounts may be regarded
as a saving available for promotion.
within the meaning of the provision
in question. Likewise, any saving.
resulting from the non-filling o.
vacancies existing on July /, 1884
or which may occur during the fisca
year, provided impounding thereof b.
waived by the President, and AM

MAY REQUIRE WEEKS
s. w. Dempsey Says Client Is
Ready to Bid $1,000, 900 More
Than Minimum.

Sale of the Mayflower Hotel,

order, may be postponed, pending the
outcome of the Senate District Sub

cial operations in which the property

proposed new financing and reorgan-
ization plan as detrimental to the
interests of the bondholders, would
ask the District Supreme Court Tues
day to set back the date of the auc-
ton in view of developments during
the inquiry. Elwood H. Seal, assist
ant corporation counsel, who is act
ing as special counsel for the sub
committee, admitted he had heard
the reports and had reason to believe
they are true.
Will Take Several Weeks.
The investigation is not expected to
be completed for several weeks and
it will take some time after that for
the subcommittee to prepare its report
and recommendations.

may influence the court to postpone
the sale is the information given the
subcommittee by s. wallace Dempsey,
attorney and former member of Con-
greSs, that he has a client who is
ready to bid 81 900, 900 more for the
hotel than the $4,000, 900 minimum at

sold. Dempsey did not disclose the
name Of his client, but described him
as zone Of the greatest hotel men in
the country"

inquiry Monday at 1890 am, at
which time Paul E. Lesh, Washington
attorney, and representative of the
Bondholders Protective Committee
will be questioned about the plan of

L. Weaver, who has long been identi-
ned in Washington real estate circles,
also will be called to testify relative to
their appraisals of the hotel property
back in 1928 when the securities were
being marketed. The valuation at that
time was placed at s12, 100000
