No PARADE

Possibility that Washington will
miss the usual display of firemen'S
splendor in the traditional Labor
Day parade was seen today as
local labor "scooped" the fire.
fighters.
The Central Labor Union today
obtained a permit from the Dis
trict Commissioners to parade in
Washington on Labor Day, which
this year falls on September 3.
Immediately following the an
nouncement that the unien men
would parade for labor on Labor
Day, Sergt. A. J. Bargagni, presi-
dent of the firemen's association,
revealed the possibility that the
firemen would not stage their
annual parade on historic Penn
Sylvania Avenue.
Sergeant Bargagni said it was
obvious that the union men had
"outdone" the fire-fighters. He
said he would call a meeting
shortly of officials of the associa-
ton to determine course of pro-
cedure.

END Of STRIKES
HERE SOUGHT

With 2,SoO workmen in the
I1istrict out on strike, and new
new labor troubles threatening
to send more out, the Department
Of Labor prepared today to make
another attempt to bring about
peace.
ConciliatorS, who so far have
been unsuccessful in efforts to
settle the wage disputes which
have kept 1900 carpenters out
since May !, and resulted in plas-
terers and tenders walking out
last week, are hopeful that some
compromise may be effected so
that work may be resumed On
the new Government buildings
scheduled for completion by July l..
Strike Of the carpenters and
plaSterers has thrown about so
other workmen out of jobs, it was
said by Building Trades Council
officials, and more will probably
be laid off unless the strikes are
settled.
Demands for wage increases
and shorter hours have been made
by bricklayers, lathers and carpet
and linoleum layers, but union
leaders believe these demands will
be met and no strikes enSue.

MOVE
AID To BANK
PAY-OFF
Senate Battle Likely to Hold
Congress and Give Friends
Time to Fill Petition
BY ROGER HAWTHORNE

Determined to force a clear-cut
vote on the Mcleod bank relief
bill before Congress adjourns,
Representative John H. Dingell
(D0, of Michigan, today circulated
round robin" to prevent ad.
journment until definite action is
taken on behalf of depositors.
The petition has already been
signed by so members, who slgni-
fled their willingness to keep Ctn.
eress in session until some action
is taken to thaw out frozen assets
Of banks closed as the result of
the national banking holiday.
Only $50 Signers Needed
Only $50 signatures are needed,
according to Mr.. Dingell. to insure
effective blocking of House leaders
in any attempt to bring about
early adjournment.
1t is true. admits Mr.. Dingell,
$50 votes is not. enough to prevent
adjournment, but il that number
Eis obtained he believes rs more
votes will be forthcoming by in.
dividuals motivated by other in.
tereStS.
Still another hopeful note is
heard by Mcleod supporters in a
report that the veterans bloc is
seeking a Senate vote on the
bonus.
Would Give More Time
Should this vote be demanded
the resultant delay would give
House liberals more time in which
to force their own vote on bank
relief.
The situation, too, would prove
extremely embarrassing to the Ad-
miniStration, for should the two
contested measures be passed by
Congress, which is conceded
likely. then President Roosevelt
would have to veto both.
His veto would undoubtedly be
sustained, but by upholding the
Administration, Democratic "regu.
lars" will be forced to vote against
two extremely popular bills On the
eve of Congressional electi ons.
The Mcleod bloc, meantime,
plans to drive hard today to Sc
cure the 18 remaining signatures
necessary to complete the Weide-
man petition which would make a
vote on the Mcleod bill manda-
tory June II.
Still another move in the House
on behalf of depositors is ex-
pected today when the House

posit guaranty bill. That bill,

3 Men Grilled In Staying
Of Terminal Employe

Three men are being ques-
toned by police today in an
effort to throw some light on
the mysterious Staying of And
rev Paul Rice, employe of the
Washington Terminal Company.
Mr.. Rice'S body was found
early yesterday near the Ana
costa Golf Course, with the skull
beat in. He was found by How
ard Miller, assistant librarian at
the Washington TimeS-Herald
Building. The man is said to
have left his rooming house in
the 800 block F st. N. E. early
Saturday night.
The men who are being queS-
toned are Peter Randcavage, IS,
of the 900 block Thirty-fourth
st. N. E.; James C. Bayne, 40,
of the 1900 block Morse st.
N. E.. a fellow employe at the
terminal with Mr.. Rice, and
Henry Bratlfield, of the 5000
block Massachusetts, Ave. S. E.
Robbery No Motive
Robbery as a motive was dis
counted by police because a gold
watch and several rings were not
taken, and Mr.. Rice's clothing
was in perfect order. There were
only a few cents in his pockets,
however.

enced traffic man. He made 1t
known that there were number
of applicants for Che position, but
he stated that none have come up
to the necessary standards.
Convention This Week
However, it was learned, this
may be remedied this week. Out
standing traffic authorities will
convene in Washington to con-
slider traffic problems. DR.. Miller
Clintock, of the Erskine Traffic
Foundation of Harvard University,
will be one of convening group.
Several years ago DR.. McClln-
tock made a survey of parking
conditions in Washington. At
that time he stated his objections
to downtown parking bans here
expressing the belief that business
would be seriously interferred
with. He also brought out the
fact that washington streets are
wide enough to permit daytime
parking.
Principal Speaker
DR.. McClintock will be the prin-
cipal speaker 1890 o'clock Wednes.
day afternoon at the Willard
Hotel at o meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce. He will discuss
the traffic problems of the Dis
trict. Both Commissioners Allen
and Hagen will be present at the
meeting.
Commissioner Allen stated today
that he has heard rumors that
Mr.. Van Du1er will be replaced.
These he said have persisted since
the change Of White House Ad.
miniStration. He brought out the
fact that members of Congress
were showing a great deal Of in
terest in the position, and that
he has received recent inquiries.
To Resist Politics
He said that any person ap-
pointed. to the job would have to
be well qualified, and that he
would resist any effort to make it
a political spoils" appointment.

and ramble. A preacher can
have the best sermon in the
world, but he just has to de-
liver it to folks without any
gas.
1 bet you will live to see the
day when they will hold serv.
ices just on rainy days and
days when they are fixing the
roads. Then they will pack
'em in.
Folks are just as good as
they ever were, and they mean
well, but no minister can move
'em like a secondhand car.
