The regular weekly meeting of the Build- ing Trades Council was held last evening. There was a good representation present. President William Silver occupied the chair, and Mr. J. M. Boyce was secretary. Announcement was made that the long- pending trouble between the Central Labor Union and Plasterers’ Assembly in refer- ence to the plastering on “he new Con- sumers’ brewery had been settled, and that the members of the Operative Plasierers’ Urion would hereafter have the same rights as to getting employment there as those of Plasterers’ Assembiy. President Silver stated that as chairman of the special committee appointed at the last meeting of the Central Labor Union to attempt to bring about a settlement of the controversy he yesterday called on the beard of directors of the brewery and re- quested that the Operative Plasterers’ Union be recognized in the giving out of employment at the brewery, and that in re- sponse to that request a communication was" sent to the B: ing Trad>s Council, of which the following, signed by Edward L. Jordan, secretary of the bcard, 1s a copy: ‘The board of directors of the Consumers’ Breding Company, after hearing the argu- ments presented by L. A. 1644, K. of L., on the one hand, and the C. L. U. and Building Trades Council on the other, ' their province to undertake the settlement of factional differences existing in these organizations. “The request made by the Central Labor Union and Building Trades Council ap- pears to the board to be both fair and lib- eral, viz.: ‘That should any additional plus- terers be required on our brewery, those who are memoecs Gf the Operative Association of Plastere:s, tho are attached to both the Central Labor Union and Build- ing Trades Council, also the American Federation of Lebor, shall have recognition, and that we do not desire any of the plas- terers now working there to be discharged ing our membe: 2d me to say the; accept this proposition, and that shen an additional men are employed, your men: bers will be given the first opportunity.” President Proctor of the Operative Plas- terers’ Union accepied for the association these terms, which wi also accepted by the Building Trades cil. The delegates fram the plasierers stated that there was no desire on the part of any of the membcrs of their organization to have any of the K. of L. men now employed on the work discharged, but that the wanted a favorable decision by the board of directors as a matter ef principle. It was also reported that the K. of 1 painters employed on the brewery objecte to the employment of members of tn Painters’ Union, the former asserting that the latter is not a legitimate labor orga zaticn, and ought not to be regarded entitled to recognition in the giving out of contracts. ‘The matter was referred to the proper committee of the Central Labor Union for investigation and report. The secretary was instructed to inform the District Commissioners that their order requiring the reconstruction of the dam- aged front of the Inter-Ocean building has not been complied with. Several members of the council expressed their belief that the front of the building referred to is in a very dangerous condition, and should 1 attended to without delay. The local Federation of Labor at its regular weekly meeting last evening. Presi- dent James F. McHugh in the chair, in- structed the legislative committee, Mr. EK. M. Blake, chairman, to prepare a bill for which shall have fares in Washington to three cents. understood that the bill will be at on Grawn up and sent to Congress, as it ped to get the proposed law passed dur- ing the present session. ‘The Federation also considered the recom- mendation of Building Inspector Brady to the District Commissioners that all public buildings erected in the future in the Dis- trict be corstructed by day's work, andl decided to make gn effort to carry the recommendation into effect. There was quite a lengthy discussion re- garding the present eight-hour law, as it is on the United States statutes. It was the generally expressed opinion that the law, when properly administered, is very effective, and that no effort will be made to have the law amended, as suggested by the American Federation of Labor. ——— ANACOSTIA RAILROAD. Revival of eT Transit. Talk about the prospects for having rapid transit between the city of Washington Proper and Anacostia, Congress Heights and other places on the south side of the Anacostia river, has been revived since the present session of Corgress began, and again the hope Is revived that some feasible scheme will be devised to accomplish the much-to-he-desired object. It is reported that a company of Penn- sylvania capitalists, who own the exclusive rights on one type of compressed air mo- tors, has recently made a quiet survey of the route of the present Washington and Anacostia car line, anid have also carefully estimated the amount of prospective busi- ness that would probably be done over the line if it was equipped with rapid transit facilities and extensions made so that it would reach other points on the south side of the river other than Anacostia and Hillsdale, and, as a result, they have, it is said, expressed a willingness to make of the Anacostia street horse-car line a fi class rapid transit road, and operaie th same by meas of their compressed air mo- ters. + It is further stated that the same com- pany is so well satisfied that their propos venture will prove a financial success tha they have stated their willingness to pro- vide all the funds necessary to make the enterprise a success, and would be willing to take a first mortgage on the road as their security. It can be stated that President Griswold of the Washington and Anaccstia Railway Company has not by any mean; abandoned the idea of getting rapid transit substituted for horses on his line, and for months past he has been carefully but energetically in- vestigating the claims of various inventor: as to the ability of their machines to mak. cirs go by other means than cable or elec- trical propulsion, and that as soon as he becomes convinced that he can install that system which is most suitable in every re- spect for his line he will do so. Meanwhile Mr. A. E. Randle, who, at the last session of Congress, succeeded, with the aid of the Citizens’ Association of Ana- costia and others, in getting a bill through both houses, and which was later signed by the President, giving a company of which he is the head the right to build a rapid transit Line between Congress Heights and Washington via Anacostia, will, it is un- Gerstood, take such steps as may seem to him necessary to preserve the privileges granted in the charter to his company. The cause for the delay in commencing opera- tions in the construction of the road as was planned by Mr. Randle is said to be owing to the hard times recently prevailing, which has also served to a great extent in keeping President Griswold -from securing the necessary new capital to make his plans for improving the road effective. ee eee He Was Disorderly. Patrick Rafferty was disorderly last night on M street, disturbing the peace and quict of the neighborhood to such an extent that the policeman on the beat found it neces- sary to place him under arrest. “I was very drunk, I don’t know,” said Rafferty to Judge Kimball today in the Police Court. “I met an old friend, who I had not seen for five years, and we had a drink together.”” “Yes,” remarked the court, you had several drinks.”” “That's right, your honer,” concurred Rafferty. “We had several drinks, and I fir.ally lost my memory. I had no intention of acting in a disorderly manner. Several policemen spoke a good word for Rafferty and he was released on his per- scnal bonds. of Rapia t “I suppose a Frederic Auguste Bartholdi has been elected president of the Svcicte Libre des Artistes Prancais. ‘HABITS.
