COMMISSION SUES
TO PROTECT CLERKS
FROM POLITICS

That part of the civil service law
that prohibits campaign managers and
others from soliciting contributions from
Government employees In the civil serv-
ice in Government buildings is being
tested in a case now on trial in the Fed
eral court of the Northern district Of
Texas The prosecution is being urged
by the Department of Justice, which has
acted at the instance Of the Civil Ser
vice Commission
The direct question involved is whether
the civil service law permits campaign
committees to send letters 10 employees,
mailing them to their addre sses in Gov
eminent buildings. solicitating campaign
funds.
Department of Justice officials and Of
ficials Of the Civil Service Commission
believe that il the courts rule that let
tiers soliciting campaign funds can be
sent into Government buildings, there
will be practically no obstacle in the
way OF campaign committees and man
ayers to prevent them flooding Govern
ment employees with solicitations for
money 10 help run campaigns. So i'm
portant is the question involved that the
Government Is prepared To carry we
controversy to the Supreme Court Of the
United States If necessary.
In the case that is being tried. Edward
S. Thayer, chairman of a campaign COM
mittee in the Sixth senatorial district
of Texas. sent letters TO pOStoftice EN-
plOyes at Dallas asking for funds and
addressed the letters to the building in
which they worked.

The value OF chewing tobacco as

upon in his lecture yesterday at Co.

out the fact that the Western SEN

no opinions because they do not have

CAVE-IN IN VILLAGE,
HOUSES OVER OLD MINES

louisville, Pa, June 5.-Real
estate owners here are alarmed over a
big mine cave-in right in the center OF
Pottsville. seventy-five feet deep. This
town was supposed TO be free of danger
from underground workings, but the I'M
expected cavern has led to the discov-
cry that many houses are built over old
mines.
As the coal companies reserved the
mineral rights when they sold the sur
face deeds, they are not liable for any
damage that may be caused, according
TO a supreme court decision.
