Adams Memorial
Debate Held Useless

Discussion of the name of the
famous Adams Memorial in Rock
Creek Cemetery, which is variously
known as Grief, Sorrow, Time or
Death, is useless, William Marks
Simpson. director of the Rinehart
School of Sculpture in Baltimore
told members of the Art Apprecia-
ton Group of the American Associ-
alton of University Women at a
dinner last night at the clubhouse.
Saint Gaudens neither named
the memorial nor signed it," said
Mr.. Simpson, believing that the
beauty of the work would speak
for itself"
Saint Gaudens is forgotten man
in Washington, the speaker de-
clared, making a strong plea for
the establishment of a school Of
sculpture in the Capital, which
would help to develop a greater
appreciation here of the famous
sculptor.
Mr.. Simpson, who is a Fellow OF
the American Academy in Rome,
asserted that in his opinion the
Adams memorial is the greatest
piece OF sculpture in the United
States and one of the greatest in
the world.
Miss Louise Newell, chairman of
the art group, presided and intro
duced the speaker. Among those
who attended were Mr.. and Mrs.
Harold Fowler, Mrs. Frederick
Newell, Miss Anna Pearl Cooper and
Mrs. w. H. Mckinney.

section of Fifteenth street and New

tuition of the bright red neon walk
lights for the pedestrian signals now
in operation on F street at Twelfth

director said.
"The present walk lights on F

full, largely because they aren't
prominent enough to hold the pc
destrian's attention" Mr.. Van Duzer
said. "The larger and brighter neon
signs are working out much better"
Mr.. Van Duzer said a survey con-
Quoted at Thirteenth street since the

ITS working out much better than
we had dared to hope" he said.
The walk-light system, most elab-
crate ever installed in the District,
cost $700, but it's operation will cost
only about $38 year, Mr.. Van Duzer
explained. This is less than half

Action 10 Avert
Building Strike
Still Awaited
Driver-Engineer
Dispute Could Tie Up
Construction Here

Washington's building construc-
ton industry was operating as q
unit today, but union family
squabble' which potentially could
stalemate virtually all local projects,
remained to be settled.
The Washington BuildiAg Trades
Council, which is holding in abey-
ance general strike order, still was
awaiting word from the Building
Trades Department of the American
Federation of Labor of a decision
in the jurisdictional dispute between
the Drivers, Chauffeurs and Helpers
Union Local, No. 639, and the Op-
Grating Engineers Union.
Il wired John P. Coyne president
OF the Department. in Cincinnati
last week for decision in this mat
ter, Arthur l.. Schoenthal, vice
president of the local council. said
today, but 1 have had no reply.
He has not even notified me that
the matter is under consideration"
Strike Would Tie Up Construction.
The building trades department Is
in national convention at the Ohio
city, and heads of the Teamsters
and Engineers Unions have been re-
ported negotiating the District argu-
ment.
Government officials, who have
been harassed by strikes in the
building industry here for nearly
two months, insisted today that a
strike by either the teamsters or
englneers-both of which have
threatened walkouts unless a salts.
factory solution is found-would
cripple millions of dollars worth OF
building construction.
The local unions are disputing
jurisdiction over drivers of transit
concrete mixer trucks which the
engineers now control
John P. Shields, business agent for
the engineers local, said today that
his primary concern is protection of
contracts which his union has with
four major contractors and pro-
lection Of jobs for my men"
Must Have Engineers Licenses.
He denied reports that the ma
| jority of the drivers for transit
mixer trucks already are members
of the teamsters' local and listed
concrete firms whose trucks are
driven by 1913 members of his union.
Mr.. Shields stated further that
drivers of these trucks are required
by District law to have engineers
licenses, as the auxiliary gasoline
motors turning the mixers are in
excess of 25 horsepower He ex-
planned that the law requires special
licenses for operators of internal
combustion engines in excess of that
power except in the case of motors
propelling vehicles.
The drivers local has claimed ju-
risdiction over the transit mixer
trucks on the grounds of an A. F. of
L. decision two years ago. The en-
gineers have claimed, however, that
this decision covers only trucks haul
ing ready-miXed concrete and does
not cover those conveying concrete
materials mixed in transit.
