FRAME PLANK
Federation of Federal EN-
ployes Wants Appeal In
OismiSsaIS.

The Democratic convention has
been asked by the National Feiera-
ton OF Federal Employees TO insert a
plank in the Democratic platform pro-
viding for a civil service court OF ap-
peals. This action is necessary, they
point out, ,to insure justice ana OF
rciency In the Federal Government
employ.
The need for such a court is cited
I'm the dismissal from the Government
service OF Stewart Il. Blassinghsni,
by Postmaster General Burleson be-
cause he gave testimony concerning
conditions in the mail bag repair
shop to the Joint Congressional Gem
mission on the Reclassifcation OF
Salaries. The action OF the Federal
Employees virtually puts up to tho
Democratic convention the dismissal
OF Blassingham.
Luther c. Steward. president OF the
Federation of Federal Employees. sent
a telegram to Homer s. Cummings
chairman OF the Democratic National
Committee, urging the cause of Fed
eral employees be considered in fran
ng the platform. His message was In
esponse to an inquiry from Mrs. Rob-
rrt Bruere, OF New York. chairman OF
the labor committee of the women's
bureau OF the Democratic National
Committee. as to the planks desired
by the National Federation OF Federal
Employees.
President Steward also put up to
the party leaders the responsibility
for the Democratic filibuster, which
prevented the passage of the Nolan
minimum wage bill for Federal en-
ployes in the Senate at the close OF
the session, and called upon them for
support when Congress reconyenes.
The convention also was asked to
include in it's platform an immediate
reclassification OF the civil service,
without regard to sex.
"a minimum wage based upon off,
cial Investigations Of the cost of liv.
ing, which shall be the basis OF i'm
mediate recla ssification of the entire
civil service according to the skill,
training, and responsibility of the
work performed, and without dis
elimination on grounds OF SEX" is
the language in part of the plank
which the Democratic convention is
aske ed to adopt.
The issues put before the Demo-
cratic convention by the Federation of
Federal Employees will be the subject
Of a general campaign between now
and the enext session OF Congress, It
was announced at the Federation
headquarters today. A meeting Of the
executive council OF the federation
has been called for July IL. in WASH
ington. and these subjects Will be laid
before the national convention of the
Federation, which will meet in ST.
Louis in September.

For number of years certain
criticisms of the Church have been
rather general, coming both from
within and without the organization
Prominent among the unfavorable
opinions has been the belief that the
Church was failing to maintain itself
as vital force in the social order;
that there was a lack of cooperation
among the churches and the various
denominations, and that the Church
was hesitating and really unable to
undertake big things.
THE Church, like many other in
stitutions, has been radically affected
by the world war. The greatest up
heaval in history laid bare some of
the failures of the Church and con-
firmed many of the beliefs as to it's
shortcomings. Doubtless, too, the
adverse criticisms of the organization
contributed to the forces that were
pressing down upon it from all direc-
tions.
THE temper and metal of the
Church have been subjected to sore
trial. It's leaders have been thrown
back upon themselves and called
upon to show cause why their organ

a powerful motive force in society.
They finally announced their plan
to the world. 1t was the Interchurch
World Movement. The men behind
this big church movement are recog-
nized for their integrity and spirit
uality. The purposes of the move
ment are entirely worthy. and have
been adequately set forth. They car
ry strong appeal to the great ma
jority of men and women who are
eager to see the Church's power for
Righteousness become dominant in

THE Interchurch World Movement
is not an evangelistic propaganda. 1t
is more nearly spiritual Roentgen
ray probing the social hearts and
minds, revealing the needs of man
kind
Its power and organization perfect
ed within little more than a year had
been almost miraculous, and can be
attributed only to the fact that
churchmen everywhere are keen to
examine themselves and their activi-
ties as never before; that the best
religious thought of the times is
ready for examination that the
world is ripe and ready for self-analy-
sis.
THE most wonderful part of the
movement perhaps lies in the fact
that tho Intarah hnrnh World
ment is conducted by, for and of the
Church; that the approaches to the
surveys are made through channels
of the broadest and most tolerant
Christian charity-and that the lead
ers of the movement are not merely
Christians in letter, but in spirit as
well; truth-seekers in very fact. -
