The latter, however. has been i'll ever
since the probe began and 1t is doubt
full whether she will be called upon

a great constructive result-it seems

Testifying before the House Com

OF Justice campaign to reduce the
cost of living by increasing the de-
mand for the cheaper cuts OF meat
will actually result in increased
prices and be of no benefit to the
poor.
He declared that the present cam
paign presented an excellent oppor-
tunity to packers to keep cuts OF

was repeate,- several times, to the
surprise OF his auditors. Accord
ing to the stenogrsphic report the
statement was as follows:
Kept moving Right Along.
Mr.. Weld: IF a demand were Gre
ated for cheaper cuts the price of
the cheaper cuts would be raised. but
it would bring down the price of the
higher cuts"
Congressman Haugen of Iowa,
chairman of the committees: ITO
what extent have you co-operated
with the Department of Justice? How
do you co-operate?"
Mr.. Weld: by getting people to
demand cheaper cuts. At present the
cheaper cuts have to be sold at
cheaper prices to make them move"
Congressman Haugen: "And the
Department of Justice is trying to
make II mover"
Mr.. Weld: 'Tt Is always moved
right along"

Miss Jessie Haver. legislative rep
resentative of the National Consum-
ers' eLague: Then this campaign to
get the consumers to buy the cheaper
cuts on the theory that II will bring

suit in increased prices?'

DENIES Hiring
|. GREEN CLERKS
Civil Service Commission Re-
flutes Charge Of Replacing Ex-
perienced With Unframed.

A statement issued by the United
States Civil Service Commission to-
day denies that new and unframed
clerks are now being brought here
to work while thousands of clerks
already here are threatened with dis
missal between now and July !.
"The fact Is that comparatively few
new appointments are made" says the
statement. Unemployment registers
are used wherever possible.
Immediately after the signing Of
the armistice the President issued. on
the recommendation Of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission. an executive order
which permits an arrangement where
by employees dismissed from offices
in which they are not needed can be
used in offices in which they are
needed.
Many Reinstatements.
Fully three-fourths OF the vacan-
cies are filled in this way or by the
OF former service men
who left their jobs in the Civil Serv-
Ice to go to war.
Outsiders are being brought to
Washington at this time only where
registers do not sup
ply a sufficient number Of eligibles
who are willing to accept the salaries
offered. or where highly trained ana
specialized labor Is needed and can
not be had by transfer from offices
in which 1t Is employed"
Statistics OF the civil Service Com
mission show that on April 1. 1917.
just before the United States entered
the war. there were 37.00S Fed
eral employees in the District Of Col
umbia- On November IL. 1918. when
the armistice was signed, the force
in Washington numbered 117.454, an
increase Of about $4,000 for war work.
On February 20. 1920. the number was
100. 500. This shows a decrease Of
about 1900 from the maximum.
Offices Crowded Daily.
At this time the offices of the COM
mission are daily crowded with dis
missed employees who wish to register
for another assignment. and former
soldiers and sailors seeking reiinstate-
ment.
Within the week past the Civil
Service Commission has been criti-
cized at the Capitol and in the press
for bringing into Washington new and
unframed clerks to I'LL vacancies
rather than reappointing experienced
clerks who are dismissed because of
reduction of force.

EGGS WILL FEATURE
CH|LDREN'S EASTER
Plentiful Supply in Markets
Means 0Id-Time CeIebra-
ton for Little Ones.

1t will be a regular Easter this
year for the children, with Easter
baskets. Dummies, n'everything.
Last Easter the shadow Of the war
was still hanging over, and the use
of eggs for baskets was rather dis
courged by the Food Administration.
SO the children had to be content with
a small supply of Easter eggs for
rolling.
This year eggs are plentiful In the
markets. Farmers from Maryland
and Virginia who have stands in the
Center Market today are optimistic
about the outlook for eggs for
Easter. They say April Is THE
Matching month OF the whole year.
Eggs are selling at the Center Market
from Al cents to IS cents u dozen.
1--WE will be able to supply the de-
mand for Easter eggs this year, espe-
cialIy since there are no Food Ad-
ministration restrictions" was the
unanimous opinion of the farmers and
egg deales.
The eggs will not be without their
pretty tints either. Egg dyes can be
obtained from any drug store.

Union Organizer Declares Fight
For More Pay Is
Just Begun.

The Senate Appropriation Commit
tees action in failing to recommend
an increase in the so-called bonus for
Federal employees, or any substitute
for such an increase, re-emphasizes
the need Of a proper reclassification
of salaries. Luther c. Steward. presi-
dent of the National Federation OF
Federal Employees, declared this morn
ing upon his return from an organic
ing trip through Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, and New York.
THE Senate Appropriations Com
mittee has before 1t the report of the
Redistribution commission, referred
to that committee by request OF its
own members" Mr.. Steward pointed
out.
yet, the temporary. unsatisfactory
expedient OF a bonus Is again resorted
to in place of constructive, perman-
emit adjustment of the Civil Service
wage scales, and a modern EMPLOY
ment policy.
The $24G-bonus, so called, does not
meet the situation, and the National
Federation Of Federal Employees will
continue to urge upon Congress the
necessity for adequate consideration
of the problem"

5O-5OD.C. TAX
PLAN TOSTAND.
Senate UnaIterably Opposed to
House Change in Local q,
Revenues.

The Senate will stand "hrm as
rock" against eliminating the half
and-half plan OF governing the reve-
nues OF the District of Columbia.
The Senate Committee on Appro-
priations, in effect, already has de-
fined it's attitude. Senator warren
chairman OF the committee, Is apsc-
lutely opposed to the House actioh
imposing "a per cent tax rate on
the District and abolishing the half-
and-half plan.
Senator Overman, ranking Demo
cratic member OF the committee, also
stated today that the Senate wou!d
refuse to yield to pressure Tor the
Installation OF any new fiscal plan
for Washington.
There Is absolutely no doubt about
where the Senate will stand" said
Senator Overman today. 1t VIII
never chance the half-and-half plan
at the present session"
The members of the District OF CO.
lumbia subcommittee of the Appro-
priations Committee are Senators
Curtis, Jones Of Washington, Sher-
man. Smith of Maryland. smith OF
Arizona Hale. Phipps, Gay. and Glass.
or these. both Curtis and Jones are
strong advocates of the half-and-half
plan, ana IL 10 oioeu INV - S~N'
cally all are against any change at
the present time.
1t is probable, however, that the
subcommittee will hold hearings In
regard to the entire question OF Dis
trict finances when the District or
Columbia appropriation bill comes be-
fore 1t. All sides will be given an
opportunity to be heard.
Denies $3.50 Plan Killed.
Out of the final struggle over the
District of Columbia appropriation
bill, Congressman Davis Of Minnesota,
who is in charge of the measure, de-
clared today he believed the principle
of the so-caIled half-and-half plan
will be virtually sustained in the
House.
He denied today that his amend
ment, approved by the House Satur-
day, while in Committee Of the Whole.
abolishes the half-and-half principle:
IF there Is any abolition OF the
plan, 1t is merely a technicality," Mr..
Davis said.
Under the amendment Of Congress
man Davis, proposed when a point OF
order was raised against the original
section abolishing the half and half
plan, the amount to be contributed
from the Federal Treasury is stipulat-
ed not to meet one half Of the total
revenue.
This Is a mere technicality,' Mr..
Davis explained. Under 1t, Congress
can contribute thirty cents less then
the District, II it wishes. If you wish
to call it abolition Of the half and
half plan, all right, but I contend
that the principle OF the half and half
is virtually sustained in the amend
ment.
at Is the fairest treatment that the
House has given the District" Con-
gresham Davis declared.
