to include the employees of the District

act is one of the most enlightened and
progressive pieces OF legislation ever pre-
sented 10 the people by Congress. and
it is certainly to be decried that the Dis
trict of Columbia was not included"
A committee representing the District
branch Of the Federal Employees Union
has been appointed by the president, Jo-
seph I. Hurley. to appear before the
judiciary committees of Congress as soon
as the session opens, with the hope of

present law SO as to include the District
of Columbia. Mr.. Hurley is chairman of
the committee. and he will be aided by
Arthur Thompson and F.. NJ Dawson.
Il have several instances showing that
District employees. injured in the line of

Why Paid Checks

In the older Banking days,
depositors paid checks would ac-

months went by. Errors in

1t is different now, because
modern methods are in vogue.
This bank mails to each depos-
itor his paid checks on the last
day of each month, with a COM
plete statement of the account.
This system serves to remind
a depositor of a matter he might
otherwise neglect. 1t makes it
