Plan BIG PROGRAM
Federation Will Discuss Con-
structive Measures At I'M
portant Conference.

The National Federation OF Federal
Employees has announced a big con-
structiye program which will affect
the Government workers all the way
from the Salaries which they draw
to the homes IN which they live.
Luther c. Steward. national presi-
dent, has sent o,ft call forSwhat
promises to be one of the most i'm
portant meetings of the executive
council in the history of the Fedora
ton The sessions of the council
will be held at the national head
quarters, 1923 New York avenue, be-
ginning Monday, November 10.
An extensive legislative program
for the December session of Congress
will be outlined. and plans of the ma
tional organization for the period cx
tending to the 1920 convention will
be formulated.
Several Bills On Calendar.
The legislative measures now cn
the law restricting transfers at in
creased compensation. overtime pay
and the extension of the jurisdiction
of the Congressional joint commits
sion on reclassification OF salaries 10
cover the entire field. Increased cf-
fort will be put forth to have these
measures enacted.
ITO this will shortly be added the
report of the reclassification commits
sion, which must be laid before C)n-
gress for enactment into law" says
the Federation in announcing its pro
gram" These are all comprehensive
measures and by themselves make UP
a big schedule.
ITO that schedule, however, il is
recommended that another big gen.
eral measure be undertaken, namely,
the establishment of a central agency
to handle personnel matters for all
departments OF the Government. in
Guiding appointments. promotions, de-
motions. dissmissals, general condi-
tions of employment, a training school
for executive positions, and a compre-
hensive promotion system.
Other Big Measures.
This would mean either the expan-
sion and revision Of the functions of
the existing Civil Service Commission
or the setting up Of an entirely new
organization, comparable to the en-
plUyment management department of
an industrial establishment. 1t would
necessarily involve revision CT the
civil service law. And it would pro-
vide for a governing body composed
Of representatives. of the Administra-
tion. the employees, and the general
public"
other important measures which
will Immediately be pressed as the re-
suit of action taken at the recent an
nual convention of the federation are
Saturday hslf-holiday throughout
the year; full political rights for Gov
ernment employees; Government pro-
vided housing for it's employees: the
question OF discrimination against

liberal allowances under compensa-
tion act.

Red Cross Campaign Nets
10000 NeW Members aud
$4,000 in Subscriptions

With the Roll Call campaign barely
under way, the District. chapter of the
American Red Cross has piled up an
enrolment ot, 4o.o0G members and
more than s5O,6o0 in subscriptions, ac-
cording to figures announced this
morning by Thomas Bell Sweeney.
chairman of the local enrolment COM
mittee. The goal of the District chap
ter is 100000 members, and as the
campaign does not end until Novem-
Der 1.-THE first anniversary of the
signing of the armistice-Mr. Sweeney
says 1t will be passed by several
thousand. The subscriptions Will
reach much higher mark.
At no time during the war was the
response to campaign as encourag-
Ing as this one, according to Mr.
Sweeney. The return of the soldiers
and the tales Of the wonderful work
done by the organization accounts
for this, he says. Division leaders
and team captains have nothing but
glowing reports to give, and the
rivalry between them increases each
day. Each team is determined to
capture the honor of recording the
greatest number of enrollments.
To Stage Contest.
Campaign Director Sweeney was
preparing today to stage a competi-
tion between the various Government
departments to determine which
would be first with 100 per cent en-
rollment and win the right to fly the
Red Cross flag from the top of the
building. All organizations with 100
or more employees who registered O
100 per cent enrolment will be pre-
sented with Red Cross flag as soon
as the enrolment Is recorded Mr.
Sweeney announced today.
A call to every citizen OF the Dis
trict who has already enrolled to wear
his enrolment button and to display
the Red Cross flag in the window of
the home was sounded this morning
by directors of the campaign. Such
a plan will greatly facilitate the work
of the 5000 women volunteer work
ers who are making the house-to-
house canvass, 1t was pointed out.
Reports Of Members.
Among the teams turning in en-
couraging reports were those OF Miss
Ays Downing with 700 members; Miss
Dorothy B. Brown, 224; Miss E. Dou-
gall. 41s. and Mrs. E. Hillman, 451.
