The Old Post Office Building
yesterday reminded considerably
of Poe'S horror tale, the Mask OF
the Red DEATH" in which crowd
milled from room to room in hope
of escaping a vague but indefin-
able nemesis.
AS the $50 furloughS trickled
through with pay checks. there
was no thought of work. Clerks
wandered from room to room, con-
centrated in front of the candy
counter on the main floor and
talked of many things. Because
the blow had been we'll advertised,
not many showed grief or fear.
Rather, holiday spirit per
vaded, even after guards tore down
satirical but artistic exhibits
amid Misses and boos-of collins
and obituaries arranged by a class
of employees too young and ener.
getic to allow fear and worry much
leeway.
Many of the $1.44O class escaped
the slice.
Organized colored employees Of
the City Refuse Department, com.
posed of members Of Municipal
Employees Local No. 466, struck a
snag yesterday in their efforts to

a hearing of the charges at the
City Refuse offices, 462 Indiana
Ave. N. W., yesterday at 2 p. m.
Everything was all set and the
employe delegation arrived on
time, but it was accompanied by a
representative of a local colored
newspaper.
Officials said they had expected
the meeting to be executive-be'
hind closed doorS-and that il
one member Of the press was to
be admitted, all should be notified
The employees refused to hold the
hearing without the accompanying
reporter, however, and so the mat
ter was called off, and no future
date has been set.
