local GA. F. of L., said a strike
would be called tomorrow unless a
conference on wages and working
conditions could be arranged today.
Last night, when Mr.. Bowie-issued
his statement, Commission Chair
man Ezra B. Whitman replied that
if the crews were foolish enough to
go out because Bowie says so, I do
not know what we can do about it,
Mr.. Bowie said the situation dated
to a strike threat of July "a, when
union crewmen demanded an ad-
Justment of wages, hours and work.
ing conditions.
Before the strike occurred, Mr..
Bowie conferred with Mr.. Whitman
and Col. Harry C. Jones, State en-
ployment commissioner, and then
rescinded the call.
Mr.. Bowie said the union did not
wish to embarrass the public and
added: THE first trip will be made
from both sides of the bay tomorrow
morning. After that there will be
a stoppage of service unless our

100000 Suit Filed
By Tenant Against
Dupont Circle
Mrs. Lee WoIverton Says
Assistont Manager Hit
Her During Moving Row

Mrs. Lee Wolverton of the Dupont
Circle Apartments today filed a
100000 damage suit against the
corporation owning the apartments,
charging assault and battery by the
assistant manager of the apartment
and other acts designed to induce
her and other tenants TO move from
the building.
Dupont Circle, Inc, has agreed
TO lease the building to the Gov
ernment for Office purposes. Mrs.
Wolverton charged she was assault
ed by Thomas Robertson, assistant
manager, July % She told the
court he first entered her apart
ment "unlawfully" by using his pass
key and then entered a second time
by breaking door panel.
Claims He Hit Her.
On his second visit, she said. Mr..
Robertson assaulted her in the
! presence of guests, throwing her
against the wall and striking her
with his fists about the head and
body, she alleged. The suit did not
explain what prompted the al
legged assault. She was sick for
five days. she said.
She pointed out in the suit that
on or about May % the firm prom
lsed TO lease the building to the
Government. Afterward, she al.
legged, series of acts to disturb her
quiet enjoyment of her apartment
followed.
Mrs. Wolverton charged that the
apartment firm neglected the maln-
tenance of the apartment to such an
extent to make it practically nom
lnhabltable' as a residence. that
hotel furniture was moved from the
building by the use of passenger ele-
Vators instead of the service eleva-
tors, thus interrupting the habitual
passenger service which the plain
tiff was accustomed to use"
Says Health was ImperiIed.
Mrs. Wolyerton declared the man
agement permitted garbage to re-
main in the refuse room for three
or four days at time thereby caus-
ing an ''unhealthful and unsanitarv
condition" detrimental to her health,
In addition, she alleged, garbage
cans were carried through the main
lobby, carpets in the lobby were re-
moved and rolled up ito obstruct the
lobby and the entrances thereby
causing damage to the plaintiff
stockings and clothes"
Mrs. Wolverton asked the court
to award her $4,000 actual dam
ages and 100000 punitive damages.
Mrs. Wolverton is manager of a
Connecticut avenue beauty shop.
The suit was filed through At
torneys Lewis Perkins and Leon l..
Sclawy.
The transaction between the Gov.
ernment and Dupont Circle, Inc.
whereby the Government was TO
take over the building. was the SUBJ
ject of recent congressional in
