PARK SAVINGS
BANK To PAY
$4,000
Liquidation to Take 2 Years;
Departmental to Give
Depositors $4,000

Depositors in the defunct Park
Savings Bank eventually will re-
ceive approximately $4,000 more
in dividends, according to esti-
mates today by John F. Moran, re-
ceiver Of the bank.
The bank owes it's depositors ST.
100000, and the eventual losses
are expected to be about $4,000
600. There is slight possibility
the banks condition will permit
another small dividend payment
within year, but the full liquida-
ton proceedings will require at
least two years, Mr.. Moran said
today.
Will Pay $55,OOO
The Department Bank, which
failed tin 1882 with deposits of
1857 900, is expected to pay its
depositors $4,000 more, Mr..
Moran, receiver for this bank, also
said today.
The Departmentmental Bank
already has paid dividends of 80
per cent to it's depositors. The
book value of it's assets today, the
quarterly statement of condition
reveals, is $356,471.
100000 Loss Sure
That the losses in the Park
Savings Bank will be around
100000 is almost a foregone
conclusion. The shortage of ST.
100000, discovered when the
bank failed, has not yet been
accounted for. The bank owes
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration $125,OOO which must be
repaid before additional dividends
can be declared.
Receiver Moran borrowed 1884,
900 from the RFC to aid in
making a dividend payment of
100000 last December. Of that
sum, $138,50O has been repaid.

CODE VIOLATION
CHARGED To

Nonunion Workers

and with attempting to flood the
District of Columbia and suburbs
with non-union workers under false
pretenseS, labor leaders represent.
ing crafts and trades in the build
ing industry here today dashed
back at employers of non-union
labor.
Attacking the assertion of con.
tractors that the current building
boom in Washington is resulting
in scarcity of skilled labor,
Harry C. Bates, president of the
Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers
International Union asserted:
eyes, there's scarcity of
skilled construction men in
Washington, but it's a scarcity
of men who are willing to
work under the conditions en-.
forced by local contractors.
eff the contractors offered
the workers decent working
conditions, though, there would
be four men available right
here in the District for every
job Open."
HALF WORKING
The union head declared there
are more than $500 men in the
building trades unions of Wash
lngton, and of this number less
than one half are working.
Pointing to the increased num-
Der of workers who are destined
Tor the relief rolls if they migrate
to Washington in vain search of
employment, Mr.. Bates declared
every union bricklayer who is
now employed is paying 80 cents
per day for the upkeep of his
unemployed brethren.
Less than $50 of the 500 plas.
terers and cement finishers in
the union here are working, Mr.,
Bates stated, and these contribute
40 cents a day to furnish two
meals a day for their fellow
craftsmen at community kitchen
at union headquarters in the
1000 block of New York Ave,
N. w. Similar conditions prevail
with the bricklayers, stone masons
and tile and terrazzo settlers with
less than 625 of their 1900 total
membership working.
Labor men are frankly alarmed
at what may happen within the
next few weeks if Workmen con-
tinue their trek to the District.
According to John Locher, secre-
tary of the Washington Building
Trades Council, the influx is at
the rate of Is per day. He com.
pares the workers advance on
Washington to the gold rush OF
'49 and warns that the relief roll
is the only award which awaits
them.
This plight of the union con-
struction worker is laid by Mr..
Locher in no small part to the Ma

for many years with the whites, prin-

since abandoned native dress for the
clothing generally worn in civilized
countries.
Indeed, King Kalakaua, who first
visited this country in 1874, proved to
be a well dressed and well educated
man. He was chosen King almost
unanimously on February IL of that
year and arrived in Washington on
Saturday, December II.
His coming was made o notable

early hour on Saturday morning and
