It was similar trouble that
caused several weeks delay here
two years ago on the Labor De-
partment and Interstate Com
merce Commission buildings.
At Glenn Dale, it was learned,
iron workers protested when car
penters were permitted to place
bronze fixtures on doors and win
dowS of the sanitarium. When a
strike threatened if the work was
not halted, the District Commis-
sioners ordered that part of the
work suspended until the dispute
can be settled.
The Washington Building Trades
Council is expected to take the
matter up for settlement at its
next meeting.
Officials of the council pointed
out today that only "a handful Of
men" were actually involved in
the dispute. The suspension Of
work was ordered, however, be-
cause of fears that a general strike
might result lin sympathy with
the involved workers."

DUCE'S TEACHER HERE

Years ago, when he was a lee
turer on social science at the
University of Lausanne, Switzer,
land, DR.. Vittorio Racca num-
bered among his brightest pupils
a bricklayer.
The laborer, exiled from his
native Italy, attended classes
and spoke his mind freely on
economic problems whenever he
was out of jail, DR.. Racca re-
members. The Jail figured in
his career whenever the Swiss
authorities arrested him on polit-
ical charges.
That was in 1903 and 1904,
DR.. Racca said, and would at
tract no notice today If it were
not for the fact that the brick
layers name was Benito Musso-
lini.
Praise for his former pupil
came today from DR.. Racca,
naturalized American who has
been professor of economics at
York University and a research as
sistant at the Yale Institute of
Human Relations. In washington
to arrange for a series of lectures
at the new Institute of Criminal
Science, 1741 K st. N. w., the
noted educator said he will in
clude in his course a study of the
methods by which MuSsolini has
solved the problem of taking ur-
chinS from the streets and train
ing them for useful citizenship.

Picketing Fund
Drive Under W0y

A drive to raise an ample pick
citing fund" is under way in the
ranks of the Washington Building
Trades Council.
The council has drafted a reso-
luton which would authorize a
small weekly assessment of it's
members when the picketing fund
is depleted to 5000 or lower.
The maximum that could be ac-
cumulated in the fund, under the
resolution, would be $500. 1t is
expected to be acted upon at the

Elevator Mechanics
Seek Legislation

Legislation requiring the Civil
Service Commission to raise the
pay and classification of elevator
mechanicians employed in Gov
ernment services may be sought
by the local union of the Interna-
tional Union of Elevator Con-
Structors, Operators and Starters.
Harry S. Wender, counsel for
the union, revealed such a plan
today following announcement by
the Civil Service Commission of
competitive examinations for ele-
vator mechanicianS to be appoint
ed here at salaries of $3.50 per
year. Mr.. Wender said he is pre-
pairing to take the matter up with
the commission next week, in the
hopes that legislation will not be
necessary.
John Proctor, business agent of
the union, who is cooperating
with Mr.. Wender in seeking the
higher pay, pointed out today
that such low pay is not repre-
sentative of the skilled quality of
men in this trade.
The $3.50 salary is even be-
low the scale of helpers in the
elevator construction trade, while
qualifications for the jobs open
are those of senior mechanics
whose pay scale in private indus
try is nearly four times the sal
ary offer of the Government.
It is the plan of the union to
raise not only the pay of those
soon to be appointed, but to bring
about the reclassification of those
already in the Governments en-
pIoY.

as easy to have. So take a tip
from one who knows: choose this
model and good fabric and you'll
have no further slip troubles"

When "New Freedom" Was New.

Joseph P. TUMULTY never
y quite caught step in the Roose-
welt parade, but there he was, after
all these years, on the Presidents
left at the recent victory dinner"
with less hair than he had in the
early days of the "new freedom"
but with Irish eloquence unin-
paired. He reports Democratic
fires burning in the hills and val
leys of America"
Tagging far behind, Woodrow Will
sons eight-year secretary never
called "Wait for baby" like the
chap in "What Price Glory" and f.
nally came along in his usual digni-
fled way.
So far as broad party strategies
and policies of the last few years
are concerned, Mr.. Tumuty has
been mainly concerned with our
recreance and Indifference toward
the League Of Nations. There is NO
more loyal conservator of straight
line Wilsonian doctrine in America.
Toward the end of Woodrow Will
sons second term, there was much
talk of cabinet post for Mr.. Tum-
ulty, supposedly the labor post,
but he became Washington law
yer instead. In August, 1885, he
told a senate committee that his
two years fees of $109, 700 were for
advice and not for lobbying.
His Jersey friends tell me that
he has made his peace with Frank
Hague, Jersey City political boss,
that he is becoming mellow and
philosophical and that he has no
yen for any important place on the
Democratic bandwagon.
