DAY ANYWAY War Department Bricklayers in Rebellion STRIKE AT THE PRINTING OFFICE Bofused to Return to Work After the Noon Recess Because Thoy Claimed Right to the Same Holiday Granted in Other Departments The Wpr Department has open rebellion to contend itb in one of its ditisions and there are tenous iutitterlngb and signs of disiontent in other ditisions All this results fron the failure of the War Department to take the halt holiday as usual before Xett Year Daj The flftj Ilte hriiKlaers employed on the new Goternment Printing Ofllce which is being constructed under the supervision of the War Department furnish the rebellion hating takm their half holiday anat while the clerks of the department are the ones ttho threaten to become insurgents llMt It liittrntl This Is the ttay It happened that the War Department didnt take a half day oft The President setcral das ago Informed the departmental headb that a half holiday would be git en the emplojes in the Goternment departments and acting upon the authority of the Executlte th Treasury Department and the Xatj Department closed at noon jesterday Secrctarj Root declined though to grant the holiday Clerk Couldnt lit- Spared Ills reason for doing so was that the bureau chiefs had been complaining that the work was behind because of the short clerical force and he did not see how any of the clerks could be spared This is in conformity with the depart mental orders granting holldajs which are aluajs limited to these who can be spared The War Department officials sa that in this cahe none could be spared owing to the pressure of work and the limited clerical force Walk Out or llrieUlnjrrx The clerks hate done nothing jet but the bricklayers at the stroke of 12 jester day as one man laid aside the habiliments of toll and at 1230 oclock when A McGrath the timekeeper called the roll they not only refused to answer to their names but walked awaj from the scene of their labors without stating any grievance When out of the sight of their superiors the Jugglers of trowels and bricks began juggling with the problem of why they were not entitled tc a half holiday on the daj preceding Xew Year Day the same as those employed In other departments of the Goternment Thej had not worked Monday and hid worked only three full dajs since December 14 but the knights of the trowel were unwilling to resume their work in the afternoon The carpenters Iron workers stone setters and laborers employed on the Got ernment Printing Office bull ling resumed work tie afternoon About fifty of the laborers whose duti It Is to wait on the briklajers fiad of necessity lo sespend operations tt lij I lie struct To a Times reporter one of the striking bricklayers said We refused to work slmplv becatv ve felt tc were as much entitled to i half holiday on the day preceding Xei Year Day as the employes of the othi Got ernment departments Again we signed pay touchers for the two days we laid off for President McKinlejs funeral and netir rccelted any pat for the two cts Their iniiiiliir Grletnnee In rcgaid to their not being paid for the two days they laid oil for President McKlnleys funeral when they had signed touchers for It Mark Wil nartli assistant engineer of the construction work on the building said At the time Captain well Chief En Slnner in charge of the construction of the Goternment Priming Ofllce referred the matter to Mr Tracewell the Comptroller of the Treasury and he notified us that the men could not le paid for tie time Iurther thej did not sign any tourherb for pay for those two dats As the men employed on the construction work did not work the day before and the day after Christnns Day they will not rcceite any pay for Clirismias and the same deduction will in all probability be made for Xew Year Day rat account of their not working a full day today CENSUS PAINTERS AROUSED Denied Irnr Unit Holt In li llircetur tlerrlmii The bookbinders compositors press-in-ii and foldtrs

onb Dr NICHOLSON 604 12th St Wutlilngtou I secretary of the Typographical Union say the head of the Census Office and his subordinate misinterpret the law and are dealing unjustly to the employes In quis tiou by withholding rights to which they are clearly entitled Yesterday morning when Superintendent Doos informed his men they could knock off work If theypleased at 1 oclock but with the understanding that the time lost would not be paid Tor they registered a protest through their representa tites President Feeney and Secretary Garrett who lodged an informal protest against Director Mcrriams ruling but it was of no atailahd the men continued at their laborh until the regular closing hoar llecliirt I Itnnk InJHNtiee Mr Tenet- was seen last night at Xa tional Killes Armory where the nook binders Society was holding its annual ball He was mad all oter at what he termed the rankest kind of injustice to the most deserting and hardest worked employes of the Census Office The per diem argument is all poppycock said Mr Feeney We are paid in the same way at the Goternment Printing Office and Mr Palmer closed the office half a day btfore Christmas and yesterday Mr Mcrriam could hate done the tame Our boys in his oliice work under etactly the same rules as they do in mine and the bill protiding for a printing branch of tho Census Oliice sets forth these tery tacts In unmistakably plain language foiiiitrollir tm CoiiHultril Director Merriam when seen at his home last night by a Times reporter described the controversy as a tempest in a teapot Mr McCauley our chief clerk he explained consulted the Comptroller who seemed lo think pat for a half holiday was not within the law goternlng tho printing branch That setthd it so far as I was concerred The men were welcome to time If they cared to lo the money ONLY DEPUTY CORONER Code Ieatex Dlxtrict Mltliiiit tin- lllKlier Officer Another defect has been found in tho cede in that It will leave the District without a Coroner until the meeting of Congiess Among the protisions of the code Is one that the District Coroner shall be appointed by the President This fact seems to hate been practically forgotten until the last moment aftei Congress had adjourned without passing the amendments to the code which among other things contained an amendment transferring the appointment of tlie Coroner to the Commissioners of the District A few days ago the Commissioners informed the President of the requirements of the code and of the amendment pending In the Senate bill and they asked him to appoint Dr Ramsay Xetitt the present Coroner President Roosevelt agreed to comply with the request but when it came down to performing this seemingly simple ct ecutitc act It was found that there was no precedent existing for the appointment of oricials of the Government during the holiday recess Accordingly the President informed the District Commissioners yesterday that he would be unable to make the appointment until after the meeting of Congress The Commissioners jesterday held a board meeting over the matter and decided that inasmuth as the code leates the appointment of the Deputy Coroner In the hands of the ommNsloners that Dr Glazcbrooi should act until the appointment of Dr Xet In by the President after the assembling of Congress Meanwhile If the amendment to the code is enacted as eeras likely the ofllce of Coiuner will be tacant again and It will be necessary for the Commissioners to tppomt Coroner Xetitt again a few weeks hence OWNERSHIP Or OVTEN HOUSE Defeti Iiitf 11 Mlit

to Permit Kreetioii of More Pole uiul strlnKlncr of More A Ires lu buhurlji The District Commissioners have decided to call a halt on the Indiscriminate stringing of otcrhcad wires in the suburban section of the city for the extension of the telephone service They have recently rccelted applications from the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company for permission to establish large cable poles in alleys inside the city limits and upon improved streets outside those limits and to string large aerial cables over housetops and along suburban streets to these poles Such applications number twertv fite and the company has submitted to the Commissioners maps and plans proposing to establish centres of high poles from which it will extend wires oter streets alleys and private property in etery direction to accommodate tho increasing call for telephones Disfigurement nnl Dtnmer After a careful consideration of the subject the Commissioners into decided that the disfigurement of the District by such constructions and th Increase in danger from them recmire that they shall be stopped and that these cables be put under ground and they hate therefore declined to grant the necessary permits The Comnlsiloncrs are well aware that a number of prospective telephone subscribers will be deprived of the sertice for a time but they feel that the city cannot be pcrmanentlt defaced by the extension of those oterhead wires and the construction of towers and other appurtenances accessory thereto The Commissioners feel that the best interests of the District demand tint they shall stop the extension of the oterhead construction except within the narrow limits prescribed for It by the stringing of wires on existing poles Heller Lies in Conduits Tlie Commissioners are agreed that the relief for those chiefly affected lies tith Corgress which alone has power to grant extensions of the telephone conduit sys ten The Commissioners hate hot taken the stand that until such underground prltlleges are granted all extensions of tho telephone system must necessarily be oterhead CITY SOLICITOR HIS TITLE SAPOLIO In fact less appropriate than the present title of the Districts legal
