D. c. LABOR ROW
|SSETTLED

All was quiet along Washing
tons labor-strike front today fol-
lowing consummation of peace
proposals yesterday between
and ice cream plant officials.
Although they had not walked
out, teamsters of all ice cream
plants in the city threatened to
tie up distribution of the popular
summer food unless their de-
mands for a $1-a-day increase
in wages and an eight-hour day
were met. Labor capitulated,
however, and a contract for the
coming year was signed on last
years basis of Sc a day and a
ten-hour day.
Renewed attempts will be made
tomorrow to bring carpenters
back to their jobs and thus end
the tie-up of the 100 million
dollar Federal building program.
The carpenters are holding out
for $1.371a an hour and a six
hour day. Commissioner Allen
yesterday was successful in get
ting together representatives of
both union parties and contract
orS.
There were no indications to-
day that either side of the juris-
dictional dispute on the three
Federal buildings here intended
budging an inch from the stand
taken when they first went out
on strike.

JUDGE F|GH 7 s
REZON|NCPLEA

The protest of Justice Pierce
Butler of the United States SUI
preme Court was heard by the
Zoning Commission at the Dis
trict Building today through the
appearance of Horace w. Peas
lee, attorney who represented
several residents in the neigh
borhood of tn 1900 block N st.
and the 1900 block Nineteenth
St. N. w.
The protest was against
changing certain properties to
commercial rating. Mr.. Peas
lee declared his clients opposed
any commercial encroachment.
Alfred Schwartz, appearing for
Col. Robert N. Harper, advocated
commercial status for property in
the 900 block M st. where beer
was once sold under a 80
license, but where liquor cannot
now be sold owing to TECHNICAL
ties of the zoning law. 1t ap-
peared at the hearing today that
the proposed change is to permit
liquor sales at the property IN
question, and several neighbors,
led by E. E. Overholt, objected
that they do not want liquor
sold in their vicinity.

BRIDGE MOVING
jOBATTRACTS
ENGINEERS
Feat of Shifting Calvert Street
Span Tomorrow to Be
Watched by NotabIeS

Engineers from all over the
United States are flocking to
Washington today to be on hand
at S o'clock tomorrow morning
when the Calvert Street Bridge
is lifted from its foundations and
inched along on steel rollers to
the spot where it will rest as a
temporary highway.
Eventually it will be torn down
and sold for junk, after having
carried many millions of Wash
ingtonians across Rock Creek. The
old steel arches have played a
tremendous part in the develop
ment Of Washington, and they
are going out in a blaze of glory
and publicity, as the movie men
and radio broadcaSterS have
scheduled the Calvert Street
Glide" as part of their early
programs tomorrow.
Job Is Tedious
Jacks will be put under the
supports that are holding up
the big steel spans; these will
be inched upwards with heart
breaking care, watched at every
turn to see that there is not
a hair-line difference between the
spans as they are lifted.
For two hours the engineers
will watch this performance; and
at about 7 a. m. the steel rolls
will be placed under the bridge,
and five horses will begin to
walk around the five windlasseS
which furnish the slow but steady
power to pull the bridge along.
At each round of the windlass
the bridge will move just one
inch.
Members of Congress, high Of
ficialS of the Administration,
Army and Navy engineers are ex-
pected to be on hand.
Twenty-Five policemen have
been detailed to keep the crowds
back of the danger zone. Call
vert Street will be closed for
more than a year until traffic is
resumed over the new stone
structure which will be started
almost Immediately. Buses will
make the transfers of the regular
Calvert Street car lines.

To MAKE
100000
ADVANCE
Has Studied Matter, But Other
Projects in Conference Bill
Must Await Reports

Public Works Administrator
Harold L. Ickes will approve an
100000 loan to the District
for construction of a sewage dis.
posal plant, it was learned today
as the District PWA loan bill
awaited conference action.
Secretary Ickes has made a
close study of the sewage prob
lem here.
Others Undecided
He has not yet considered, how
ever, the other projects in the
program, which include additions
to Gallinger and Children'S hos
pitfalls.
Just what amount the District
will be limited to in its PWA
program must be worked out by
Senate and House conferees.
In the original bill passed by
the Senate, this figure was set at
$2O,O00,OOO. The House yesterday
reduced this to $1O,750,000.
No matter what the final figure,
there is no certainty that it will
all be granted by the PWA.
When the bill has been passed
and signed by the President, the
District Commissioners must ap-
pear before Mr.. IckeS and present
their plans.
Depends On Report
These will be studied by PWA
engineers and experts and an opin-
ion rendered as to the worth of
ion rendered as to the worth of
the projects. Depending on this
report, the amount of the loan
will be determined.
Immediately after the President

appoint conferees, the Speaker
will name either three or five Con-
gressmen to meet with an equal
number of Senators to iron out
differences between the two bills.
