BrickIayer Tells
OF Crack in 0 Street
Apartment Chimney
RemodeIine Work Is
Described at Inquest
In FutoI Fire

Alonzo Neil, 2711 Georgia avenue
NV, colored bricklayer, was the
first witness called today as the
inquest into the deaths of three
persons on April l in a fire at 213l
o street NV. went into its third
day.
Neil resumed the testimony he was
giving Wednesday, when the inquest
was recessed, concerning work he
did in the summer Of 1887 on
remodeling a chimney in the apart
ment. Fire department inspectors
have declared the chimney was the
probable cause Of the blaze.
The bricklayer said he had done
the remodeling work under direction
of q Philadelphia contractor iden-
titled only as ''Mr. Griffith" Under
questioning Neil indicated that he
had never remodeled chimney In
such fashion as on this job, but
said he assumed that his supervisor
considered the work satisfactory.
He testified that the chimney was
remodeled in such q way that there
was q crack which ran from the
first floor to the roof, due to the fact
that the bricks were not dovetailed.
There was a crack in the fiue lining
at approximately the same place, he
said.
It had been testified at earlier
hearings that no inspection was
ever made of the completed job by
the building inspectors office, due
to a slipup. The remodeling Of the
chimney had been ordered by the
smoke inspectors ofiice after. COM
plants that the smoke laws were
being violated.
Following the bricklayers on the
witness stand was Roland r. Rut-
linger, 3712 Chesapeake street NV,
an engineer, whose company in
stalled new stoker in the building
at the time. He testified he believed
the chimney was functioning
properly.

Symphony Likely
To Abandon Concerts

Association Decides
To Make No Pluns for
l940-4l Seusof

Water Gate concerts by the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra this
summer will be abandoned unless
the wage controversy with the
musicians is settled soon.
After accepting report Of the
Board of Directors regarding its
deadlock with the Musicians Pro-
tective Union, members Of the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra Asso-
citation late yesterday approved the
boards suggestion that mo plans be
made for the 1040-41 season."
It was stated. however, that this
action left the door open for posi-
BILE future arrangements.
Omcials Of the association said
that, since five or six weeks prelimi-
nary preparation is necessary for Z
week or: To-day campaign to raise
funds for an orchestra season, such
q drive will be impossible this spring
unless the five-months'-old dead
lock- is broken soon.
Union spokesmen declined to COM
ment without consulting orchestra
members. No union conferences
have been scheduled. 1t was said
today.
The orchestra's final concert Of
the current season Is scheduled for
Sunday afternoon.
At yesterdays meeting l.. Corrin
Strong, association president, said
efforts Of the Labor Department
Cancellation Service to effect .
compromise had been fruitless. The
conciliAtors offered plan which
was unanimously accepted BY the
association board on April /, Mr..
Strong said. but It was rejected
BY orchestra members.
The deadlock arose over the mu-.
sicians' demand for wage increases.
The directors held the $l0-a-week
increase which the musicians asked
would add too heavy . burden to
the Organizations expenses and
that the extra amount could not be
raised through public subscription.
