SPEECH,
WORKERS AIM
Federation Engages Counsel
After Rebuke From Civil
Service Heads.

Declaring that Federal employees
have right to acquaint the public
with facts concerning working condi-
tions in the Government service, the
National Federation of Federal En-
ployes has engaged counsel and set
speech.
Former Congressman James T.
Lloyd and former Civil Service Com
missioner Charles NJ. Galloway will
look after the interests of the en-
ployes. Lloyd was one OF the
authors OF the Lloyd -LaFollette law
permitting Federal employees to
organize
The situation arises out Of an
article published in the Federal En-
ploye, concerning the attitude of Sem
ator Hoke Smith of Georgia, whom
the federation officials declare to
bill. setting SO a day minimum for
Federal employment.
Federation officials had sent let
ters to Georgia on the Senator's ac-
tivities, in which, 1T Is said, he re-
piled in a Savannah paper, making
statements which were declared err
roneous by the federation. An article
was published in the Federationist
calling attention to the facts as the
federation saw them.
COMPLAINS TO COMMISSION.
The Senator complained to the Civil
Service Commission, alleging political
activity. which is forbidden Federal
employees.
THE National Federation of Federal
Employees has acted entirely within
the law. This much l can say at
this time" declares Luther c. Ste
ward, president of the federation.
"A communication addressed to the
editor of the Federal Employee, Off
cial organ of the National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees, has been
received this morning from the pres
ident of the Civil Service Commits
sion, calling attention to the article
in the issue of July relative to
the attitude of Senator Hoke Smith
Of Georgia, on the Nolan Minimum
Wage Bill. with request that the
commissions communication be pub
lished in the Federal Employee.
"In view Of the fact that the COM
mission has not given 1t out, but
has requested that the letter be pub
lished in the Federal Employee, their
request will be complied with, with
appropriate comment.
when publication is given as re-
quested, our answer will be given
in full.
ALWAYS IN HARMONY.
"The U. S. Civil Service Commis-
sion and the National Federation Of
Federal Employees have always work
ed in harmony, having essentially
the same purpose at heart-namely,
the best interest of the public serv-
ice.
"It is believed that his constit-
uents are entitled to know the truth
about his acts as Senator. Indeed,
we are at loss to understand how
Senator Smith can complain OF pub
licity being given to his official act.
"If we were to accept the inter-
pretation OF this situation as poll
teal activity" within the meaning OF
the Civil Service relations. then Fed
eral employees would be admittedly
deprived of their constitutional right
Of free speech and their right to
petition Congress or members of Con-
gress as provided for in the Lloyd
LaFollette act of 1912"

NOW, In my day Inc speaker,
Mrs. John A. Logan. widow of General
Logan, Of civil war fame, paused.
She Looked reminiscent. and her mind
Travelled back to the day when Cen
eraI Grant, General Sherman. who
said -" and herself were
brilliant figures in the social life of
Washington. Those were the days of
the crinolined hoopskirt, the curtsey.
and the little curl that hung over the
side. Those were the days OF man
sions, teas, and gallantry-the days
OF the stirring COS.
Mrs. Logan. seated in her drawing
room in her Washington home. Eagle
Lodge. had just celebrated her eighty
second birthday. She sighed and.
coming out of her reverie. continued:
"Now, in my day women held sewing
bees socials. county fairs, and at
tended the opera. But today it's the
shimmy, the jazz, the bunny-hug. the
races. Grandmothers, young girls, all
alike, are going crazy on the styles,
and on gayety.
SCORES WOMAN'S DRESS.
For full hour Mrs. Logan dis
cussed the foibles of the time as
glibly and intelligently as If she were
twenty instead of a woman of four
score years.
THE way the women and girls
dress today! Oh, horrifying, shock
ing! The way they show their figures
is a disgrace to the country, and is
enough to lead men astray. ] talk
to the women and girls l know and
beg them to be more modest in their
dress. / wish the women would get
together and adopt standard OF
decency in dress.
And the way women smoke these
days-right out in public, too. think
1t is a very nasty habit and indc-
cent. Women who smoked in the olden
times were looked down upon. OF
course. some old women smoked the
corn-cob pipe. We women not only
did not smoke cigarettes ourselves.
but we persuaded our men not to
smoke.
Careers for women? Today hus-
bands and their wives leave for work
together. ] do not approve of married
women working unless 1t is necessary.
The next thing you know, the hus-
bands will stay home and the wives
will do the working. 1t is destructive
of the home. In my day a women was
an inspiration to her husband. When
he came home he was greeted with a.
kiss. She was perfumed and dressed
in a dainty evening frock. She was
good to look at after a hard days
grind. Today the tired business man
goes to the show"
SHE IS FOR HARDING.
Mrs. Logan's eyes fell on a Harding
Coolidge picture in the front window
Of her home, 2523 Thirteenth street
northwest. ooh, yes I'm for Hard
ing" she said. "He is the old-time
statesman. He even looks il. Look at
his broad shoulders and massive head.
And I'm not for the Peace League by
any means. Those, people in Europe
will always be scrapping. Let EN-
fight. We send our boys over to get
killed?
Mrs. Logan keeps well posted on
the times. As managing editor Of
the Home Magazins of few years
ago. she had opportunity to show her
ability. Her interest in life will never
wane, she says, She likes Harry Cess
ford. tho new superintendent of the
Metropolitan Police Department. She
knew him when he was boy, She
approves of the copettes under Mrs.
c. Van Wrinkle.
IL have known Mrs. Van winkle
for years" she said. 81 know Major
Sylvetser, too. He always gave us
protection, because he knew | no
