Action Is Delayed
On Ticket-Fixing
Pub|icityPian
Commissioners Decline
Comment on Seul's
Proposal

Action was deferred by the Com
missioners yesterday on the sugges-
ton of Corporation Counsel Elwo I'd
H. Seal that the names of all persons
whose traff1c tickets are fixed" or
adjusted, as well as the names of
their sponsors, be published at regu-
lar intervals.
Whether the Commissioners plan
to act on the proposal at one Of
their board meetings this week was
not indicated. The Commissioners
declined to comment.
Adhering to Instructions.
Mr.. Seal said he was adherlrg to
his instructions to his assistants at
Police Court that they should ignore
requests from policemen for fixing
of tickets unless the procedure set
forth in a standing order of Police
Supt. E.lW. Brown is followed.
Mr.. Seal had estimated that
roughly 10 per cent of the tickets
fixed by assistants were handled on
requests by policemen. Maj. Brown
replied yesterday he felt it would
be unfair to publish the names of
those whose tickets were adjusted
in cases where legitimate reasons
were offered for minor trafic VIOLA
tions.
Text of Order.
The standing order of Maj. Brown,
issued in 1887, reads:
ITO commanding officers:
"In cases of minor infractions of
traffic regulations where traffic vio-
lation notices have been issued,
commanding officers may, after
proper investigation and when the
facts justify let the person of with
warning not to repeat the offense
In instances where the person
has received traffic violation no.
tice and alleges he did not commit
the violation charged, commanding
officers may, when their investiga-
ton shows that the person has not
violated the regulations, cancel the
ticket.
Commanding officers are eau
toned to be extremely careful not
to dispose of such notices in such
manner as to indicate they are be.
ing fixed.
Members of the force are strictly
enjoined from attempting to fix
traffic violation notices"

Decision Awaited
On Census Employees
This Week
Plans Are Studied
To Provide Working
Space for 5000

Decision probably will be reached
this week on the difficult problem
OF what to do with 1000 or 5000
Federal employees of the Bureau of
Census, whose new building cannot
be ready in time for starting the
1910 census.
Officials of several branches of
the Government are at work on the
question as to whether these people
shall be sent to Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York or whether
some means can be arrived at for
keeping the census work central
lied here.
Labor troubles have delayed con-
struction of the new Federal Once
Building in Southwest Washington.
intended to have been finished early
in January for the Census Bureau.
Engineers Study Plan.
1t appears virtually impossible to
! finish the structure now, even if
three shifts of workmen should be
put on the job. But engineers are
trying to figure out some plan
whereby one story at time can be
finished, and rooted over, to make it
available for census work This plan
has been used successfully else
where in construction, it IS under
stood. But it was not clear last
night whether this system could be
employed sufficiently early to take
care of the census.
The Bureau of the Census plans
to take on 1000 new people for the
work, but has no housing for them.
About 1000 regular employees in ad-
dition might have to be sent out of
town.
If the work is sent out of the city
there would be a tremendous pay
roll loss to the National Capital.
This transfer would also add to the
cost of the census, as the Govern
ment would have to pay rent for
buildings and have other additional
expense in setting up tabulating ma
chimes and in transportation of en-
ployes and records back and forth.
The efficiency of the work also
would be hampered, it was pointed
| out.
Question of Delaying Census.
Congress may be asked to delay
the census itself, which is fixed by
legislation, but there was said to
be some doubt as to the ability of
Congress to do this, as the decen-
nial census is authorized by the
Constitution of the United States.
The latest of long series of labor
troubles on the building is a jurisdic-
tional dispute between two unions
as to which shall drive concrete
mixer trucks.
The Bureau of the Census has
ben asking for a new building for
many years, but it was only recently
that the Government finally decided
to provide structure. The contract
was let August Il for the building,
which was to have been put up in
record time.
Government Also Blamed.
Labor leaders claimed that not all
OF the blame for the crisis with
which the Government is faced
could be laid on labor because of
the fact that the Government de-
layed until August to start build
ing which has been needed for
many years.
T Some experts were said to feel
that If the three-shift work plan
were put on with many building
tradesmen pushing construction as
fast as possible without getting In
each others way, the building might
be made available one floor at a
time. The final jurisdictional dis
pute, however, had not been settled
up to a late hour last night, so that
the job still was tied up.
