ings.

The general strike on the so-called
triplet buildings in the Federal tri-
angle. called last night in protest
against employment of non-union
painters by an independent contrac-
tor, terminated this morning with a
union victory. All trades were or
dered back to work tomorrow morn
ing.
This was the fifty-seventh labor
dispute during the strike-spotted his
tory of the three structures-the I.
c. c. and Labor Buildings and the
Government Auditorium
The settlement was reached. when
Edward A. Burnap superintendent for
James Stewart & Co.. the general
contractor, and Charles E. Darnall,
Government construction engineer, in
charge of the project. stepped in as
mediators.
Involved 30 Painters.
The dispute concerned the employ

with the Government for decorative
painting of the buildings. These men
were taken On during the last three
days, after Heinsbergen had tried
vainly for a month to obtain union
men, who were out on general strike,
ordered by M J. McDonough, presi-
dent of the Building Trades Depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor, as result of a jurisdictional
dispute
Heinsbergen paid the non-union
men union wages, however, and
worked them union hours. He took
the position he could not afford fur

When the jurisdictional dispute.
which made an issue of whether the
operative plasterers or the bricklayers

the buildings. was settled by deci-
sion of Justice Daniel w. OrDonoghue
in District Supreme Court late Mon
day. the building trades would have
gone back to work except for the
trouble with non-union painters.
Demanded Mems Removal.
The Washington Building Trades
Council met last night and voted not
to allow any crafts to return to
work until the non-union men were
discharged They said they would
not work on the same job with strike
breaking labor.
Accordingly, when work was to
have started on the buildings this
morning, business agents of all the
unions were on hand to call their
men off
Then Burnap, his patience tried by
the many labor difficulties. took a
hand He went to Heinsbergen and
explained that his refusal to dis
charge his non-union painters was
tieing Up the Stewart Co.. which was
in nowise concerned in the dispute
and was keeping some 300 men from
their jobs. Darnall also sought to
sway the painting contractor.
Heinsbergen first took the position
he must have some guarantee that
there would be no further walkouts
before he would return to a closed
shop.
Finally CapituIates.
In the face of continued pressure,
however, he capitulated and agreed
to discharge the non-union painters

.D|LL|NCER'S AIDE
TAKEN IN ST. PAUL
Albert W. Reilly Seized by
U. S. Agents-Four Re-
main at Large.

Albert w. Reilly, said to have been
with John Dillinger when the No. l
gangster shot his way to freedom at
Little Bohemia, near Rhinelander, Wis,
was captured today at st. Paul, Mimi,
by special agents of the Justice De-
partment's Division of Investigation,
Attorney General Cummings an
nounced. Details concerning the cap
ture were withheld.
Reilly also was wanted for harbor-
ing Dillinger at st. Paul several weeks
prior to the Little Bohemia raid.
According to j. Edgar Hoover, di-
rector of the division. Reilly is the
man who approached DR.. Nels T
Mortensen and DR.. Clayton E May
at st. Paul to obtain surgical treatment
for gunshot wounds in 'Dillinger's body.
Justice officials said Reilly accom-
panied Dillinger and members of his
gang to the Little Bohemia Inn, on
Spider Lake, but left the inn to go
to Minneapolis on the day before the
Federal agents launched their gun
battle which resulted in the deaths
of w. Carter Baum of Washington,
Federal agent, and a c. C. C. worker.
Federal Investigators say that Reilly
left the inn to take Pat" Cherring-
ton, woman companion of one of the
Dillinger gang, to Minneapolis for
medical attention.
Reilly and the woman returned to
the inn while the Federal raid was in
progress, but succeeded in escaping in
an automobile in an exchange of fire
with the agents.
The capture of Reilly leaves only
Dillinger and three of his gang still
at large. They are John Hamilton,
Homer Van Meter and Lester M.
Gillis, alias Baby Face" Nelson.
The Department of Justice has
placed a price of $4,000 on Dillinger
and $4,000 on Nelson--rewards offered
under authority of the recently en-
acted Federal reward bill.

Appointment Practically AS

to Being Drafted.
CONSENTS TO SERVE
IN POST FOR ONE YEAR
Counsel Had Planned to Return
to Private Practice-Pollard
Seeks Trade Body Place.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt received word
today that Ferdinand Pecora, counsel
for the Senate Banking Committee,
would serve for year as chairman Of
the new Securities and Exchange
Commission.
While the President has indicated
he has not decided definitely on the
membership OF the commission, 1t Is
now generally taken for granted that
Pecora will get the Craftsmanship.
James M. Lands, member of the
Federal Trade Commission, had been
mentioned as the possible chairman
1t was considered likely he would be
a member of the new commission and
become chairman later.
Mathews Mentioned.
George C. Mathews, another trade
commissioner, has been talked of for
membership.
Pecora, who as counsel for the
Senate committee played a big part
in drafting the stock market legisla-
ton, has been reluctant to accept a
place on the commission created by
that law. feeling he should return to
private practice.
The White House was informed,
however, that he had been persuaded
to serve for a year as chairman if
that post were rendered him.
Meanwhile the name of former Gov
John Garland Pollard of Virginia has
entered prominently into discussions
of successors to those Trade Commis-
sioners likely to be shifted to the
Securities Commission.
Pollard, now chairman of the Vet
eranS' Board of Appeals, served as a
member Of the Trade Commission in
1920-21 under President Wilson
Pollard was said in authoritative
sources to have strong backing for the
appointment.
Under Civil Service.
The new commission will be dis
tinctlve in that it is the first of the
new agencies which by law must re-
cruit its personnel under the Civil
Service Commission and fix pay under
the classification act.
Heretofore, the new agencies have
been created as patronage establish
mentS-that is, the law under
which they came into existence
specifically set forth that the workers
could be recruited without regard to
civil service rules and the pay fixed
without regard to the classification
act. AS a result, only those agencies
in which the heads preferred to get
civil service employees have had a
nominal merit system, and in order
to bring salaries in line. the Presi-
dent was forced to issue an Executive
order setting up scale for all groups.

BY the Associated Press.
Silver advocates in Congress laid
plans today to force the administra-
ton next session to devalue the silver
dollar as it did the gold dollar. The
profit would be used to reduce the
Government debt.
Representative Dies, Democrat, OF
Texas, author of the only two silver
bills to pass the House last session
said that as soen as Congress con-
vened he would introduce legislation
to reduce the silver in the silver dol
lar from 4125 to 206 grains.
Predicting at least two-thirds OF
the House would favor this move
Dies said it would restore silver to its
old statutory l6-to-l ratio with gold
ing as a result of gold dollar devalua'
tion.
Dies said that under his silver pur-
chase plan recently enacted. the
Treasury would have 1000. 600 00C
ounces of silver by January Devalu-
ton would make that equivalent tc
4.000, 900 900 ounces.

'Under the bill which I intend Il
introduce the first day of the mex
session and to press for immediat,
consideration, he said. ''the Secre
tary of the Treasury will be required
