Fifty Employees Give Strik-
ing Example of Effective
ness of Organization.

How can the Government clerks con.
tribute most to win the fight for better
wages, and fairer distribution of the
work and the pay?
| That question has been asked thou
sands of times in the last two months;
and 1t is admirably answered in a let
ter received by The Times today.
The writer tells exactly how himself
and a few friends, all emplayed in the
departments. have organized and are
now carrying on an effective campaign.
They are getting results.
Urges Cooperation.
The plan they have adopted, now
being operated by about fifty young
men. Is extending to others. There is
no reason Why it could not be operated
in every bureau In Washington, and the
correspondent who describes II suggests
that it be so organized and operated.
Briefly, this plan is to cooperate in
giving certain amount of time each
day, systematically and seriously, to
propaganda and educational work. Be-
cause 1t gives such a complete state
ment of the methods, and of the re-
suits obtained the text of the letter Is
appended: -
Il want to tell you the plan which
has been adopted by myself and num-
Der of friends. employed in one of the
Government bureaus in Washington, to
push along the effort to secure justice
for the civil service people. Under the
inspiration of the vigorous crusade that
The Times Is conducting. about twenty
five of us young men who live in the
same neighborhood, and work in the
same bureau. got together very infor-
mally and discussed what we might do
to help. We adopted a plan in which
about fifty are now regularly cooper
ated. I want to tell just what we are
doing, and how, because believe it is
perfectly feasible to effect a like Or
ganization In every bureau in WASH
ington. and TO multiply the benefits Of
this work many fold.
Producing Results.
II know that what we are doing Is
producing actual and useful results. It
will produce results just in proportion
as more people are engaged in the same
kind of work. We agree to devote a
certain amount of time, outside the
hours, every day to this effort.
We got up first form Of letter TO be
sent to friends in the Government de-
partments, asking them TO cooperate
with us in the work We were going to
carry on. The following letter is a
copy:

ERNMFiNT EMPLOYEES.
