TRADES DISPUTE.
Carpenters and Cement
Finishers on Local Jobs
Present Cases.

Labor leaders went into conference
at the American Federation Of Labor
this afternoon in an effort to solve
the jurisdictional dispute at the In
Department of Labor buildings by
submitting it to arbitration before
William Green, president of the A. F.
of l..
Both the carpenters and cement
finishers are claiming the right to in
stall mastic asphalt tile floors in the
buildings, which now are being laid
by the carpenters. More than 225
men have been on strike with the
cement finishers In protest against
the carpenters doing the work.
The case for the protesting cement
finishers was to be presented by
Michael j. Colleran, president OF the
Operative Plasterers and Cement Fin
ishers' International Union; j. M.
Myles, vice president, and Harry
Rothery, the local business repre-
sentative.
The carpenters were to be repre-
sented by Albert Caya, their business
agent. Henry Blumenberg, national
representative of the carpenters, who
/ had been expected to participate, said
before the conference, that he was
leaving the matter to Mr.. Caya anc
would not be at the hearing.
Sitting with President Green, Al
arbitrator, was expected to be Mi.
chael j. McDonough, president Of
the A. F. of L. Building Trades De-
partment.
While several trades walked out in
! sympathy with the cement flnishers
who are members of the Washington
Building Trades Council, workmen on
several other trades, numbering more
than 200, continued to work, along
with the carpenters, who are laying
the tile floor. according to Edward A
Burnap, superintendent for James
Stewart & Co., contractors for the
building.

THE District Commissioners to-
day decided to seek some form
Of financial relief which will
i enable the municipality to cope
more efficiently with future
heavy snowfalls.
After q discussion at the semi
weekly board meeting today it was de-
cided to ask Congress either for a spe-
cial fund for snow removal or else for
permission to charge directly to the
Water, Sewer and Highway Depart
ments the cost of snow removal when
men from those departments are used
to clear the snow away.
Under the law as it Is now under
stood at the District Building the pro-
cedure for financing snow removal is
extremely cumbersome. Where en-
ployes Of the three departments
named engage in the work their costs
are billed to the city refuge division
and are then met out of the street
cleaning appropriation. Later. under
the economy act, funds are transferred
from other appropriations df any are
available) to meet the deficiency In
the street cleaning appropriation thus
created.
Find Transfer Slow.
All of this takes so long that by
the time the final transfer Is ar
ranged the street cleaning division
usually has laid of many men for
fear the deficiency will not be met.
Engineer Commissioner John c.
Gotwals said today that he believed
there would always be enough money
in the appropriations for the four
engineering departments to handle
large snowfall if all costs are to be
charged directly to the various de-
partments involved In that case the
city refuge division would not hesi-
tate to call out large numbers OF
men from the other departments,
hesitation principally blamed for the
slow job done of Sundays snow.
He said he would take the matter
up with the Appropriations Commit
tees of both houses when the Dis
trict's supply bill comes up for
hearings
The Transportation Committee Of
the Chamber Of Commerce will take
UP the problem at meeting Monday,
and Is expected to urge the establish
ment of a special emergency fund for
snow removal
The Chamber Of Commerce, accord
ing to Dorsey Hyde, its secretary, be-
lieves that the Street Cleaning De-
partment has done an excellent job
with the means at its disposal, but has
always taken the position that snow
removal should be treated as an emer-
gency, and that no attempt should be
made to cope with it out Of the reg
ular funds of the street cleaning di-
vision, which always results in re-
duction in service rendered by this
division after the SHOWS have been
disposed of.
Trinidad Group Complains.
The Trinidad Citizens Association
at its regular meeting last night
joined other civic groups who criti-
cized the city heads for not doing a
more thorough job of getting rid OF
the snow. The discussion was not

RICHMOND, Va, March 2.-Ignor-
ing pleas from Delegate Ralph H.
Daughton, the House Privileges and
Election Committee voted last night
to postpone indefinitely consideration
Of the resolution memorializing Con-
gress to grant national representa-
ton to the District of Columbia.
Daughton urged favorable action as
a friendly gesture toward the people
of Washington, which would cost
Virginia nothing.
Delegate Wilbur c. Hall of LOU
doun County has suggested that the
committee be discharged from fur
ther consideration of the resolution.
His proposal is being studied today

Appropriations for the division, sc
per cent Of which go for wages, rose
quite steadily from $4,000 in 1925
to S568, 900 in 1882. That was the
peak year. In 1888 they fell to $780,
900 and in the current year they
went through a surgical operation
which reduced them to s375,000, OF
less than the appropriation considered
insufficient in 1925.
The snow removal this week has
cost the division, roughly, $1,000
day in wages, hire of private trucks
and incidental expenses. Thus the
expense through today has been ap-
proximately $4,000.
Morris Hacker, superintendent OF
city refuse, said that his division
would not even have attempted hall
of what it has this week if there had
not been an expected surplus in the
refuse divisions appropriation fol
hauling garbage This came about, he
said, through the unexpected fact
that a large number of farmers this
year have hauled garbage away from
the southeast transfer station to feed
hogs, thus obviating the expected ex-
pense to the District of shipping it to
the reduction plant at Cherry Hill
Va. The District, therefore, has the
farmers to thank for most of the
snow that actually has been carted
away.
Auto Parking Problem.
He said that the city will never have
satisfactory snow removal as long as
there are thousands Of automobiles
parked along the main thoroughfares
particularly those with street cal
tracks, when the snow is falling. Then
the plows cannot shove the snow neal
enough to the curb to make a wide
lane for traffic. The cars themselves
get showed in and their owners be-
come indignant. The day following
the plowing other automobiles cannot
get over the mountain of snow te
park near TO the curb, and traffic
lanes are narrowed down.
Even putting a million men at work
with shovels would not solve this sat-
isfactorily, he said, aside from the
question Of cost. For the present the
automobiles and the snow plows ir
city streets present an insoluble prob
lem. The city's plows could plow al
the country roads from here to
Hagerstown in a day and get them
clear, but in the city the approximate
ly 800 miles of main traffic routes are
destined to remain q sorry mess after
each large snow unless it is imme-
diately followed by warm weather.

Hopkins Says Plans Are
Made to Prevent Shock
of Demobi|izing.
WORKERS IN RURAL
SECTIONS MUST GO
Number Reduced Mere 1000 To-
day, With 5000 Minimum
Goal March 80.
With several rural States preparinp

With several rural States preparing
to demobilize their civil works en-
ployes next Monday, Harry L. Hop
kins, Federal emergency relief and
civil works administrator, declared to-
day there would be no abrupt dis
ruption Of civil works projects in
Washington and other large cities
under President Roosevelt's new relief
program.
Plans Of the urban areas are being
worked out, he assured, so there would
be no "shock" in the transfer from
civil works to operations under the
new program, regulations for which
must yet be worked out.
Reduced by 1000.
Hopkins disclosed that the number
Of civil works employees in the Dis
trict had been reduced by 1000 today,
and said total reduction of 1000 by
March 80 was planned. This will re-
duce the quota to $4,000 this week,
and there will be additional reduc-
tions Of 1000 on each Friday there
after until the total number engaged
in public works in the District is cut
to 5000.
So far as the Presidents program
Is concerned, Hopkins said that civil
works employees now being let out will
be re-engaged on other work If they
are IN absolute need of relief. In no
case, he said, would more than one
person in family be given employ
ment.
Projects In urban centers under the
new program, he said, would be con-
nned strictly to those of social bene-
mt. There will be no raking of
leaves or cleaning streets" he said.
Projects Would Go On.
This would indicate that the va
rious municipal projects such as play
grounds, park developments and sim
liar projects now nearing completion
In Washington will be carried on the
same as usual under the new set-up.
The new set-up Is described in ad-
ministration circles as a LOB assur-
ance" plan. Hopkins emphasized
that hereafter all projects would be
more sharply defined.
A good many projects. he believes,
will have to be eliminated in urban
areas.
Every effort will be made, the ad-
ministrator explained, to take care
OF those actually in need of relief
There will be general cleaning up
OF the employed list. however. SO as
to eliminate any who may possibly
have other means of support
Completion in May.
It was believed the general trans
fer from Civil Works to the Presi-
dents new program may be COM
pleted early In May. Hopkins pointed
out that local conditions will govern
the dispatch with which this IS car
ried out. In Washington, he said,
plans will have to be worked out
with the local relief administration,
which will submit its own program to
the Federal administration.
Hopkins disclosed today that grants
made from Federal Emergency Relief
funds from May %, 1888, through
February %, totaled S400, ,296, 1874 The
District of Columbia had received a
total of S1,056,174 in all grants dur
ing this period. This was classified
as $910,174 IN grants for general
relief purpC. 5, $4,000 for transient
relief, $4,000 for educational relief
and $4,000 in the purchase of
supplies.
