WASHINGTON Even though
ours IS now hectic era that for
bids anything to be startling, regu-
lar rail travellers in and out Of the
washington union station got the
shock Of a decade when they enter
ca the terminal restaurant last Sat
urday to find white mattresses and
busboys, all ready to serve them.
I s.aore than half century ter
minal eaters had been served by col
ored walters and kitehSn helpers
first in the old 9Th street depot,
wnere President Garfield was fa-
tallys shot in 1881. now submerged
from memory BIZ the Mellon Art
CALLERS mammoth east wing, and
since 1907 at the present locality.
But like Garfield, and the old 9th
street place, the Negroes are gone,
now; and their going was unherald-
ed, their exit forlorn and unsung.
Sole notice of their ousting was one
of fact, which is to say, first know
ledge of their finish came when the
early shift reported for duty, as us
ual Saturday morning. They number
about 60. Not 50 long ago they
were organized into Local 781 Of the
Hotel and Restaurant Employees, that
American Federation Of Labor inter
national union which created and
controls locals Of dining car cooks
and walters, principally through the
Joing Dining Car council, propagan-
da agency of the setup, and of which
Ishmael Flory, colord, is secretary.
Although this international had
jurisdiction over all hotel, restau-
rant and bar employees III the United
States (except in Dave Beck's, Sc
attic, Wash.) there isn't a first-class
hotel of its Washington jurisdiction
in which colored cook or waiter
could get a job,
And now for the SEEMING para
dox, the colored men were employees

NEGRO EMPLOYEES OUSTED
FROM D. c. UNION STATION

of a lessor, Savarine of New York,
but Savarins didn't oust them; all
went out together, Savarin by des-
sire, the colored folk without choice.
There appears as much Of coinci-
!, dence as ingenuity in the incident.
And what happened was this:
About nine years ago, Savarins,
operator Of chain of rail road sta
tion eatelies in eastern cities on the
Pennsylvania railroad, leased the
Washington plant and took over
personnel from the Terminal COM
pany. Not long ago the AT Of Il
organized the walters and attempt
ed to negotiate . working contract.
Savarins baked, stalled, and it was
reported the union would call a
strike to enforce collective bargain
ing; then it developed, it is said,
that owing to Savarin's refusal to
finance air-conditioning Of the place
on demand Of the terminal people,
they would not renew the lease, due
to expire at midnight Of June 80.
They didn't.
At midnight of June 90 down
came Sayarin's signs, up went the
Union News company's, successor,
away went Savarin and out Of the
accumulating heap of Washington's
unemployed went the colored wait
ers and kitchen service help. Tt is
rumored the union will picket the
restaurant. But Savarin's is gone;
so it looks as though the union will
have to follow them elsewhere; for
the Union News company fetched
in it's own help, even non-union
bartenders to supersede the unions
white drink-jugglers.
My opinion is that Savarins, find-
ing Washington dried up lemon"
exulted over the good reasons for
getting out and discovered a grand
opportunity Of thumbing the nose
at the AT Of L and advising it to
depart where Sherman said what
was is. stAnd the end isn't yet"

Experts Help MT. Bankhead With HouSekee1
Speakers Aides Do Most of
 The Detail Work
BY BRUCE CATION Democrat Washington

Washington, Feb. 27-"The chair recognizes the gentleman from Tex as The time of the gentleman has expired. The question is on the motion to strike out sub- section A. lines l6 and IT, of the amendment to the committee re- port. |. The vote stands: ayes, 25l, noes, l63. ."
 Thus officiates the speaker of the House of Representatives, facing an assembly of 435 legislators who are forever coming in and going out talking among themselves, shouting out bits of parliamentary jargon-- and who, in addition, somehow seem to look exactly alike.
 How does he do it? How is this complex parliamentary institution run? How, out of 435 solons, does the speaker actually recognize" the gentleman from Texas, who looks like all the other gentlemen pres- ent? How does he know that so- and-so's time has expired, wher he hasn't looked at his watchp How in other words, is the complicated and dizzying business of running the House carried out?
 It's a fascinating exhibit. In the mere mechanics of its procedure, the House of Representatives is one of the most efficent institutions imaginable. It is so because about half a dozen experts are on the job. COGS IN
 THE MACHINERY
 Chief among them, of course is Speaker William B. Bankhead who is enthroned at high desk fac- ing the chamber. He is known as one of the most capable speakers the House has ever had.
 On his desk he has a big gave and a little gavel, a tray of pen. cils, a sheet or two of notepaper a glass of water, and a couple o. memorandum books. With thi equipment he runs something that makes Q three-ring circus lool simple.
 Two men sit flanking him, thei chairs slightly lower than his. II front of him, also at lower level are four more men behind a lonl desk. Below and in front of them in turn, is still another desk wher, the official reporters sit Tn tha battery of desks is concentrated tn, expert machinery through which tn, speaker does his job.
 At his right sits Lewis Deschler parliamentarian, or Assistant Par liamentarian W. T. Roy. The par liamentarian takes all newly-intro. duced bills from the hopper ano routes them to the proper commit tees.

Low Mortality Rate Recorded
 For Past Month

The millions of Industrial policy holders of the Metropolitan Life In- surance Company have gotten of to good start for low mortality in 1889, according to the company's statisticians, who point out that the death rate established in January by this important cross-section oi the general population was only slightly higher than the record low January rate attained last year. The death rate for January 1889 was 86 per 1000 as compared with the January 1888 rate of 85 per 1000, which foreshadowed the lowest mor- tality of any full year in the his- tory of the company.
 Outstanding features of the Jan- uary health record were improve ments in mortality from influenza and pneumonia and from injuries resulting from automobile accidents. The mortality rates for both in- fluenZa and pneumonia were de- cidedly lower than in January 1888, although, in some states, there was high prevalence of non-fatal cases of these diseases. The automobile accident fatality rate was POT per 100000, as compared with 2l.3 per 100000, for January of last year.
 For the full year of 1888, how ever, the policyholders recorded the lowest automobile accident death rate since 1926', the statisticians say. And 1t is highly encouraging to observe, at the beginning of the current year, further improve ment, even though 1t be @ small one"
 On the debit side of the January mortality record, as compared with the corresponding month of l938, were somewhat higher death rates for cancer, diabetes, heart condis tions, and coronary artery diseases,
