CENSUS LAW MAY
COST MANY JOBS

Washington, Aug. 24.-Upon the de-
cision of the attorney general on a lit
tie provision in the recently passed CEN
sus bill depends the fate of So Of the
1870 Indian schools of the country.
The provision which will work such
havoc in Indian education is thai which
prohibits the employment OF two mem
bers of the same family in the same
department of the government. In The
Is schools, the husband is the super
intendent and the wife is matron, and
the combined salary of both amounts
to enough to keep them in the serv-
ice. but the salary of the husband
alone would be insufficient.
The schools would nave to be discon-
tinued if the attorney general rules
that this provision of the census bill
refers to the Indian department of the
government. The interior department
has put the matter up to the attorney
general, stating that the tive mem
bers. provision of the bill should be
construed to refer only to the census
bureau.
All other departments of the govern
ment are watching the outcome Of this
attack. If the attorney general rules
that the provision refers to all depart
ments, there will be weeping and wall
ing for hundreds will be discharged.
The department heads have been hold
Ing back from wholesale discharges be-
cause they wanted a ruling from the
attorney general before acting.
