taking is entirely voluntary on theirpart They
have not been asked to do it, and they will not
be rewarded for it. However, they have pre-

over 100 officers clerks and other departmental
employees. Assistant Secretary Coon and Chief
Clerk Swayze, of the Treasury Department, are
among those against whom the association is said
to have filed charges The specifcationin Coon's
case is said to- be that he issued misleading
financial statement from the Treasury Depart

from other clerks In several instances, the in
former has himself been informed upon, in at

formed. 1t is the work of this association which
has excited so much of the uneasiness which
