that member. He went on forward
for a while. but finally was forced
to retire to the advanced dressing

drawn so that a minor operation
was necessary to allow him a par

after such happy and unexpected

Bailey was cited for bravery during
the fighting at Montifaucon. He

Treasury Speaker Heard.

The earnestness Of some chief
clerks and immediate superiors to see
Justice done to those who look to
them to espouse their cause was IL
lustrated by a speaker from the
Treasury Department. He pointed out
that in fllling out their questionnaires
some women. who are counters Of cur
rency probably might not get a
square deal because the commission
might not understand the peculiar in
tricacies Of their work. He was as
sured that the commission would
make a special investigation and he
was commended for his loyal defense
Of those who are working under him.
DR.. George B. Bowerman, librarian
Of the public library. was one Of the
ouestioners. He wanted to know how
the library workers could describe
their work so that the commission
might understand their peculiar duties
for which they had to have special
training. 1t was at this point that
Mr.. Keating declared that the library
employees are grossly underpaid.' -,

two Illustrations:
Justice Siddons Of the Supreme
Court Of the District arose and asked
Mr.. Keating If he thought the Su-
preme Court is governmental es-
tablishment Mr.. Keating answered.:
II am convinced that If the people
of the District had the right to vote
they would make you 4 governmental
establishment"
This question came as result OF
the reclassihcation commission's 9
working through the Department OF
Justice to get salary data on the
court employees. A message from the
Department OF Justice had instructed
the courts to name their subcommit-
tee to cooperate with the commits
sion. The judges had met in solemn
council and selected Justice Siddons
to attend the meeting last night.
The next question came from col
ored man or the stage, who asked.
How would you classify man who
Is on tho pay roll as a freight handler
and as a matter Of fact is assistant
The answer was that he would be
classed as assistant to the fireman.
The entire scope Of government
work between the questions asked by
Justice Siddons and the colored man
was covered by a bombardment Of
questions that lasted for more than
two hours.
