set out on is one of the most
difficult distance flights in the
world and has caused the death

ASSA|LED
FORFA|[URE To
END STRIKES
"Sits BY While Men Walk the
Streets" Charge Hurled at
President of A. F. of |.

Blame for the protracted strike
involving more than 5000 men in
the District of Columbia was laid
today at the door of William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
Industrial leaders and union
representatives charged the A. F..
L. president with sitting by while
men walk the streets" Mr.. Green,
both sides stated in their charges,
is the most logical man to whom
the now-jobleSs men can look for
leadership in bringing about a
conciliation.
Order Is Defied
All carpenters, plaSterers and
hodcarriers are now out on strike,
while many other trades have
joined in the walkout on the
1. C. C.-Labor Building project
now being erected on Constitution
Avenue between Twelfth and
Fourteenth Streets Northwest.
Several of the trades today de-
fled an order from Michael j. Nc
Donough, president Of the build
ing trades department of the A. F.
Of L., to join with the plasterers
in their dispute with the brick
layers regarding the setting Of
acoustical stone in the auditorium
connecting the I. c. c. and Labor
building.
Mr.. Green is out of town and is
not expected to return to Wash.
ington for a week. At his office
today it was stated he has no au-
thority to call conference of the
diSputing parties and that he has
no jurisdiction to settle the argu-
ment.
Without Power
Neither side of disputing parties
on the I. C. C.-Labor building
project made gestures today for
an early settlement of the strike.
The trades defying orders to
walk out in sympathy include the
marble settlers, tile settlers, elec-
trlclanS, and bricklayers.
Officials of the James Stewart
company. Inc, contractors of the
three buildings explained today
the strike is between organiza-
tlonS within the American Fede-
ration OF Labor and has nothing
to do with higher wages or de-
creased hours. They are power
less to effect any settlement of
the dispute officials said.
Allen Ready to Act
Commissioner George E. Allen,
who has offered his services as
conciliator in the carpenters
strike and whose efforts will
probably have effect Wednesday
morning, stated today "he would
be tickled if Mr.. Green or any.
body else would step in and end
the strike"
The carpenters have called a
general meeting of their member
ship for Wednesday morning in
the National Press Building Audi
torium.
At conferences between the wage
commltCee OF the carpenters and
contractors and presided over by
Commissioner Allen it was agreed
to pay carpenters $125 an hour
and an eight-hour day.
Whether this compromise will
be accepted by the carpenters as
body will be decided at the
meeting.
There were no indications to-
day that the strike involving
firemen and oilmen in the two ice
cream plants here would reach
an early termination. Company
officials stated, however, the
strike has not disrupted schedules.

to the dwelling of Maurice Wood
row and family, at Corner Ketch, on
Friday morning, last, few minutes
before ten O'Clock.
Fire had been discovered in the
casing about the chimney, on the
second floor of the dwelling, and
evidently had been smouldering for
some time before It's discovery, as
the woodwork was charred and
blackened all about the chimney and
some distance along the studding and
joists.
The firemen soon extinguished the
threatening blaze with chemical
stream, and the damage was not
great. Timely discovery is the only
thing that prevented disastrous

Burned By, Tear Gas
Fumes

Dick Myrick, who conducts a fill
ing station and road stand at Porters
Bridge, met with a serious and very
painful accident about $3.50 Friday
morning, at his place of business.
His little baby girl was sitting in
its high chair and dropped some
plaything to the floor. Mr.. Myrick
stopped over to pick the article up,
when a tear-gas gun, in the shape of
fountain pen, that he always car
ries for protection, slipped from his
shirt pocket to the floor, and dis
charged it's fumes directly in his
face. Despite the terrible pain,
binding and suffocation of the gas
Mr.. Myrick had the presence Of mind
to seize the little child and get out
side the building with it, the little
one escaping harm.
He called for help and medical aid
was summoned The full force OF
the gas struck Mr.. Myrick in the
face as he leaned over. He was ter
ribly scalded about the forehead and
face, the skin peeling and his eyes
being completely closed. He is now
able to see little with his left eye
and has gone to the hospital for
treatment, in the hope that his sight
may be restored.
