Several banquets enliven the sojourn,
to which men are invited. Otherwise
early-to-bed is the rule for both

That the school has always accent

union was placed in his hands for

union was placed in his hands for
solution.
The hue and cry was raised
among printers that they were in
danger of losing their jobs" Dickman
recalled. because of the claim that
skilled printers would not be neces-
sary to operate the machines; that
they could be operated by boys and
girls.
The Post Critic did engage mex
perienced help to operate their ma
chimes in the beginning But the
quality of work was so inferior to
that which they had been getting
from the experienced printers that
they soon abandoned the idea, and
after few conferences with officers
OF the printers union agreed to re-
employ their old force of experienced
printers.
80 instead of the printers losing
their jobs by the advent of the type
setting machine, its introduction SO
revolutionized newspaper publishing
that they not only did not lose their
jobs but work was created for addi-
tional thousands and thousands OF
printers in succeeding years"
Dickman has not devoted all his
energies to union activities, but has
given considerable time to civic affairs.
He was among the first group Of
citizens to work for public Fairgrounds
for children of the District. In the
beginning funds for the operation of
Fairgrounds in Washington were
raised by tag day" sales. There were
no paid supervisors OF Fairgrounds at
that time and Dickman, along with
many of his colleagues used to volun-
teer, after his days work, to mind
the children" at play on the play
grounds in the evening.
He has always been an advocate OF
free education and about 1885 was a
member of a group that successfully
petitioned Congress to pass law
granting free text books to the school
children OF the District
Dickman has always had a tender
spot in his heart for his less fortunate
brethren, and in 1884 took an active
part in organizing the first relief as
sociation at the Government Printing
Office. Up to that time, when fellow
employees became sick and needy, the
only way of helping them out was by
voluntary contributions, and this was
often inadequate.
Dickman, along with his associates,
felt that relief should be put upon a
definite and permanent basis so they
organized the first relief society ever
to be formed by Government employees.
The idea was gradually taken up by
other departments and today is reg
ularly established part of the Govern
ment itself.
Dickman also fathered organization
of the Association of Veteran Union
Printers. The beauty Of this organ
ization is that the old man is not for
botten," he said, "and when he dies
floral wreath is placed on his casket,
so that the union man is not forgotten
in his passing"
He is also vice president Of the
Association Of Oldest Inhabitants of
the District and is lifelong friend

historian and raconteur, who Is him.

Gated for such purpose. though the
additional recommendation OF the
Fine Arts Commission in this
connection will require complete
change in the latest plans for the
Municipal Center. The commits
sion insists that John Marshall
place be kept open so that a view
OF the Court House Building may
be had from Pennsylvania and
Constitution avenues and through
Fourth street.
The latest plans for the Admins
tration Building of the Municipal
Center call for its location south
Of the Court House Building and
extending across John Marshall
place. This would place the new
building in the vista instead Of the
old City Hall.
These plans also contemplate the
opening Of both Fourth and Fifth
streets from Indiana avenue to C
street, leaving two small squares
at each end of the Administration
Building. These squares, bounded
by Third, Fourth and C streets and
Indiana avenue and by Fifth, Sixth
and c streets and Indiana avenue,
would be reserved for expansion
of the Administration Building at
q later date.
