Labor Leaders Optimistio OverPresent Unemp.oyment Crisis.

Capital Outlook Bright.Waiagton labor is not suffer-

fro the serious unemploymoentWfulatior affeting various sectionsof the eountry, eording to theopinioas of local union leaders this'.rning. On the other hand, while'no tleluendous boom is promised,the buiders an4 manufacturers ofthis city look forward to a busy(spring and summer season.

BUILDING FAIR AXV GOOD.The building trades generally are

aong the first to be affected by anybusiness depression. J. W. Reynolds.deretary of the local Building Tradvi.Council, declared, and some of theuraftsmen are out of work butthe unions of the council are as a

whole reporting business as "fair andgood..,

"I would say that, Wn our trades, aconditions qre very much better thanthey are reported to be in manycities. It is true we have some un-o=ployed. but we must consider thatt.his In an off season of the year forUsi. A few of our workmen have leftWashington In search of work," Mr.Reynolds said.Charles Frasier, secretary of the

Central Labor 17nion, declared thatworking conditions must be consid-ered fair when the general state ofaffairs is taken into consideration. Hesaid that not any extensive unem-Playinent was reported from the mim- Ccellaneous trades and the outlook washopeful.CAPITAL LABOR DESTRICTIVIE.Labor leaders point out that local

conditions are generally some-whatdifferent from prevailing conditionL bbecause of the make-up of this citywhich cannot be classed as an in-dustrial center. A large part oC thI tiemployed class is in the Government 0

service, where working conditions do,not fluctuate as in private industry.There are no wage scales to raise or

lower an4 Federal employ.nent runs i.long on an even basis. Such a condi- ction Is it a sense, it is declared, re-flected In private employment inWashington. e t: l

)-. H. Mealy, secretary or theBuilders and 'Manuftceurers Ex- c

change. declared that building hasslackened up considerably at present C

in this city and as the result ofwhich a number of men were o.t ofemployment, but he said it could not c

be regarded as a serious condition. c

He said that considerable small jobs (

would keep many men busy throughthe winter until spring, when hehoped that the Government buildingprogram Would boom work in this-Ity. tMr. Mealy made an interesting sug-

gootion for home owners and onewhich would act to the mutual benefitof the owner and the laborer. Hekid that because of the lull in work

this would be the time of the year forpeople to have Inside repairs made totheir homes. He said that men are

available just now and that the workwould be done at a more reasonablecost than later on, when everyonewill be busy again. '1According to Mr. Mealy, minor re-

pairs about Washington homes havebeen greatly reglected during thew4r, When jt was next to impossible tto proeqre workmen.

URGESCHANGEIN RENT LAW

I u;stant U. 8. Attorney Will AslCongress for Amendments to

Aid 0. C. Tenants.

Henry H. Glassie, Assistant UnitoStates Attorney, this morning completed a draft of a new system oprocedure In landlord and tenancases, which he proposed to presento Congress as an amendment tAthe District code for the purpose 0eliminating from section 20 of th,code the short clause which constitutes the sole authority for the suinmary reeovery of possession oproperty.C1ANM FAVORs TEMAX11.

The amendments, which would b,exceedindly favorable to the tenantprovide:Too days grace, excluding FuntA&y

and legal holidays after notHowriting for the payment of rent iarrears before the landlord can *viethe tenant in caseo of default in th,Payment o ran agreed rent unlersfair and reasonable rental tor thvpremises shall have been tixed by thDistrict Rent Commision.A like nu.nber of days is given

tenart to pay him rental where :. faiamount has been set by thu co'nmilAilon.

In the case of a breach of a c-nd,tion of lease a tunant would hav,twenty days time In which to mak,amends.Ninety days notice would be re

quired of the landlord to gain poobession of his porporty at the expiration of a definite time of lease.

RKASONS FOlt CHANGI,A like number of days is stipulate

in the case of monthly or shurt timtenants.According to Mr. Glassie, this pro

posed alteration to the code proceedupon the view that "so wide and ivyportant a jurisdiction should not rem

upon a brief clause intrpolated inlaw primarily concerned with a t<tally diferent legal rlation. The ircidents of the landlord and tenamielation are plainly conceived aforming no proper part of the laiof forcible entry and detainer."
