CONGRESS BONE HEAD
Topeka Federal Employees Laid Off-No
Money Voted for Them.

Word has been received by federal au-
thorities in Topeka that every member of
the custodian's staff here must be laid off
for eight days between now and July l.
This order was issued by Acting Secretary
Newton of the treasury.
According to Postmaster Rigby, who is
also custodian of the federal building, the
order affects 500 federal buildings through
out the country. The cause of it is that
congress did not appropriate the full
amount for the payrolls. More than $500
employees will be affected and orders to
the supervisory officials make clear that
no departure from it will be countenanced.
