CASWELL HOTEL
AGAIN ACCUSED
Norfolk Complainant Alleges
Girl Was Elected and
Money Extorted.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 10. - Another
complaint of alleged expulsion from
the Hotel CasweiL after extortion OF
money, was made yesterday to States
Attorney Nice by an elderly man from
Norfolk.
The alleged victim was a girl who
came here from Norfolk and engaged
a room at the hotel for which she
paid $3.50. Shortly after she had en-
tered her room an intoxicated man,
stopping at the hotel with his wife,
it is alleged, forced his way into the
room and would not leave when or
dered out.
The commotion attracted the atten-
ton of the hotel management, Mr..
Nice's caller said, and the girl was
ordered to leave. Under a threat of
being arrested, Mr.. Nice's informant
said. the girl was required to pay
81 so more before being permitted to
leave the hotel, while the man was
permitted to remain.
According to Mr.. Nice's informant
| Harry Busick, manager of the hotel,
had been written to by a friend OF
the girl with refence to the case, and
Mr.. Busick characterized the letter as
attempted blackmail"
Mr.. Nice took the name and address
of his informant and the names and
addresses of others who knew of the
case They will be-Sent to the grand
jury with the statement of the case
| made to the States attorney. 1t is
expected that the grand jury will act
on the complaints next week.

ALL U. 5: employees NOT
oilers, FEDERATION SAYS
Steward Asks Congressman Madden
to Furnish Proof
of Charges.

Denying charges that nine tenths
of Government employees are idlers,
| the National Federation of Federal
Employees today issued a statement
calling onCongressman Madden of
Illinois to submit proof of his allega-
| tions.
Luther c. Steward, president of the
Federation, declared that a visit to
any one of the Government depart
ments is sufficient proof of the ,faIsity
OF the charge.
Since you have publicly stigma
tized, from your privileged position on
the floor of Congress, nine-tenths of
the Government employees in Wash
ington," declared Mr.. Steward, in re-
plying to Mr.. adden, may we ask
you to state with an equal amount of
publicity the particular bureaus and
the particular employees you referred
to-"
The federation also questioned
whether Congressman Madden is op-
posed to women in Federal civil SER
vice. Taking up Congressman Mad
den's further statement that those
girls referring to the Federal work
ers housed in Government dormitories
on the Union Station plaza) should be
fathers and mothers" the federation
asks if Congress does not concede the
right of women to be self-supporting.
In conclusion the statement reads:
I'VE indorse the demand of the tax
payers which you evidently have in
mind for an economical administra-
ton Of the Government departments,
but we cannot believe any member of
Congress would seek to arouse popu-
lar prejudice without first having the
facts upon which to base statements
such as yours. If nine-tenths of the
government employees. are idlers in
Washington, it is a Question that is
susceptible to proof. Thousands of
Industrious, efficient, underpaid Gov
ernment workers throughout the
United States will await with inter-
