tied up virtually all work on the
construction of the new $4,000, 900

neer officials were notified late yes
terday.

made today to bring about a settle
ment Of the dispute. According to
information received at the District
Building, rod workers were said to
have stopped work over dispute
as to whether they or pile drivers
should cut off the ends of rods used
in reinforced concrete piles.
While there are but a relatively
small number of rod workers en-
gagged for the project, the dispute,
officials were told, has stopped virtu-
ally all work of the total of some
$50 workmen.

which is about 20 per cent COM
pleted, but nearly all of the work

everyday plodders who have done
plenty of work for the Army, but
never managed to win any honors.
Officers at Fort Dix were puzzled
by the popular outcry against the
executions. Many Army mules have
been shot in the past, they said,
without any issues being raised.
The reprieve was signed by Col.
Ulysses S. Grant, Sd, acting COM
mandant of the I'd Corps Area, for
an indefinite time.
Meanwhile, Richard Meaney, gen.
eral manager for the Bide-a-Wee
Home for Animals in New York
announced he would come to WASH

changed to permit the Army to turn
over useless animals to qualified
humane societies which can care
for them in the absence of Govern

The War Department here won't
take hand in the fight to save the
lives of nine old mules who have
outlived their usefulness at Fort
Dix, N. j.
A Humane Society agent appealed
to the department yesterday by tele-
phone and was advised to take up
the matter with Fort Dix authori-
ties. He did, and obtained a reprieve
for the condemned animals.
1t was said at the department
that the law provides that useless
animals be either destroyed or pen
stoned for life in Government pas
lures if their service records are
distinguished enough.
The nine old mules in question
although they range in age from II
to 81 years, and some of them have

Steps Taken 10 Aid
Safety in Crossing
Avenue al nth St.
Van Duzer Decides on
Change in Signals
After Study

A change in the traffic signal sys-
tenn at Eleventh street and Penn
sylvania avenue NV, to provide
greater protection for pedestrians
crossing the Avenue, will be effected
as result of Traffic Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer's study of the
intersection yesterday.
The complex arrangement has
confused many, and even those at
tempting to obey the lights have
beer unable to proceed completely
across the wide thoroughfare before
being Caught" by a change in the
signals. Several persons have been
injured at the intersection.
2O-Second Period.
Mr.. Van Duzer said operation of
the lights will be changed to provide
a 20-second period in each cycle for
vehicles turning right and left into
Pennsylvania from Eleventh street.
He pointed out that the adjust
ment would have to be observed
carefully, as it necessitates cur
tailment of the interval in which
right turns from Eleventh street
are possible, which might prove
impractical when all traffic-pedes-
trian and vehicle-entering the in
tersection is considered.
The traffic director explained that
the projected change would enable
persons wishing to cross the Ave-
nue. almost to reach the opposite
curb before the lights change if
they used the pedestrian lane from
the northwest to southwest corners
OF the intersection during a Ger
tain phase of the signal cycle.
They'll get at least thirds
of the way, and some will get all the
way across" he said.
Mr.. Van DuZer was Joined by
Capt. Milton D. Smith Of the traf-
flc division yesterday when he Wis
tied the scene of The Star-N. B. C..
sound trucks operations.
Pedestrians Cautioned.
"This is more of problem for us
than it is for the pedestrians, :"
Capt. Smith declared. This is a
short block from Eleventh to
Twelfth. We can't make any change
that will send more cars into the
block than it can hold when Penn
sylvania avenue traffic is stopped
at Twelfth street."
Bill Coyle, The Stars radio di-
rector, who has been in charge of
the pedestrian education operations
of the sound truck, warned hun
dreds of Government employees
hurrying to or from lunch to obey
the instructions of police officers
who were stationed at the intersec-
ton.
This is one of the most dan
gerous intersections for pedestrians
in the city. You can't make it on
one light. Cross at another cor
ner If you can; if you must cross
the Avenue here, watch the off,
GERS" he cautioned repeatedly.
