CIVIL SERVICE LAW
CHANGES SOUGHT
Federal Employees Include in
Demands Expansion of
Commissions Function.

Among the more important ques-
tions taken up at the third annual
session of the National Federation
of Federal Employees, recently held
in San Francisco, were legislation
that will enact fundamental changes
in the civil service law and the re-
lations of employees to the manage
ment of the government departments,
including improved conditions for the
workers and extension of the re-
classification work to the entire
service throughout the country.
One of the Changes Asked.
One of the most important actions
of the convention was demand for
an expansion of the functions of the
existing civil service commission
or the substitution of a new board or
agency on which the employees shail
have representation, this agency to
deal with all personnel problems of
the government. This proposal con-
templates. according to the resolu-
ton which was unanimously adopted,
an employment management bureau
in addition to the recruiting office
now maintained as the Civil Service
Commissions The federation wants
not merely the negative process of
rejecting the unfit by examination
but the proper placing of the worker
in the job to which he is suited, with
free opportunity for advancement,
Another important natter is de-
mand for extension of the work
of the reclassification commls- 4
sion to all the field services. Thi'
demand comes from employees IN a.
branches of the government "or1
numbering nearly 100000 men aid
women outside the District of 90

conditions of the greatest lnequalty
and inconsistency as to pay ana f'uis
of service.

WEST END

Dorothy Phillips in "The Talk of the own" in six acts is the feature picture tonight at the West End theatre on State street, near Clinton avenue.
 Genevra French thought that she would be able to do as she pleased whom she married Lawrence Tabor, the youngest member of her stern fathers circle of friends.
 To her the marriage ring meant 8 declaration of independence. She neither lover, honored nor obeyed.
 In the unrestrained pursuit of hap p!ness and freedom she became in volved with 8 man-about-town. Her name became linked with his in so- clety gossip and her honor was a jest to be banded about among men.
 Yet through g. most ingenious trick of psychology her husband was able to bring her to her senses and to make of her a good wife; and what is more, a good mother.
 How this was accomplished forms the theme of The Talk of the Town" q photodrama starring beautiful Dor othy Phillips.

''MAYTINIF.~ COMING TO THE
 SHUBERT, NEW HAVEN

"Maytime" Messrs. Lee and J. J. Shubert's sensationauy successful musical play than ran for one year and three months in New York City, will be the offering at the Shubert theatre, New Haven, for one week starting Monday, March 24th. Mati- nees will be given Wednesday and Saturday In the principal roles will be seen Peggy Wood, William Norris and Melvin Stokes, who appeared during the long metropolitan run, while in the supporting cast will be seen Maude OdelI. Arthur AlbrO, Rose Winter, Charles Wheeler, Ed ward Nannery, Edna Temple and Teddy Webb
 The theme of ''Maytime'' relates romance begun in 1S40, that meets with it's realization in 1917, in the love of the grandchildren of the original sweethearts. The play is in four acts the first located in the home of Col. William Van Zandt, on Wash ington Square New York, 1S40; the second in a dance hall in New York, 1855, the last two the interior of the Washington Square home of the Van Zandts, the periods being 1880 and 1917. The principal characters are Richard Wayne, an apprentice of Van Zandt in his cooperage business, and Van zandts daughter, Otillie. The father objects to the love affair be- tween the young folks, and forces the girl to marry her cousin. In the last act, thirty-seven years having ex- pired, the grandchildren of Richard and Otillie realize the love of their grandparents. The story is said to be one of the most beautiful ever pre- scented on the stage, while the musi- cal score that is an important part of the play is said to contain a wealth of melody.
