NO MORE OVERTIME
FOR LABOR BUREAU
Secretary Wilson s Declares
Fatigue and Strain Too
Much for Employees.

Secretary of Labor Wilson has is
sued an order prohibiting civil service
employees OF his department from
doing oyertime work except upon
emergency permits granted by him
self. .'sa....
Secretary Wilson declares that the
fatigue and strain. resulting from
ovsrtime hours more than counterbal-
anc3s the benefits gained by any
"speeding up" OF the work involved in
excess time. His Announced policy is
to grant applications for doing over
time work only when absolutely
necessary.
The Department OF Labor is the
only Federal agency which has issued
such an order. although the practice
of overtime work has been generally
discouraged by the present Admins
tration. The matter has never been
the subject OF a uniform policy by the
Cabinet officers. but there have been
comparatively littls indulgence in
the practice by bureau chiefs since
the war period.
The Federation OF Federal EN-
ployes has never taken up the ques-
tion OF overtime work as IA matter re-
curing an aggressive campaign in
opposition. Recent announcement by
the Bureau OF Pensions that the rush
OF new work caused by the Fuller
and sells pension acts would doubt
less mean u larGe amount OF overtime
work from the classified employees
has caused a considerable stir In the
bureau, which, heretofore neither has
been oppressed by shortage OF
clerks or a surplus of work.

"Outlaw" High School
Fraternities Seek to
Regain Standing Here

Fraternity men In the schools to-
day Teiterate their determination to
keep the secret societies going, but
say they do not wish TO have their
organization exist under a veil OF
semi-secrecy, and wish TO have the
school board, with its changed per-
sonnel, declare itself In favor OF
secret school bodies and recognize
them.
Especially in Contra! High School
are fraternities and sororities numer-
Gus. There are at least four secret
organizations. In Business there are
at least two societies; in Western, in
Mckinley, and in Eastern, at least
three. Some OF these may have more
fraternities than is estimated, new
secret bodies having sprung into life
during the past year,
One fraternity, probably the strong
est in the high schools. has a chapter
In each of the fiye high schools.
Some of the members of the fra
ternities are known to school officials.
but the authorities are powerless TO
punish students for violating the
school boards decree.
There is no provision in the school
boards solution banning fraternities
which gives tho school principal s
leeway to punish boys or girls who
join fraternities or sororities.

PRESS AGENT MAY
LAND BEHIND BARS

1t may be cheering news to certain
copettes, referred to in these columns
yesterday as aiding in the search for
the mythical Miss Yuki Onda," to
know that the industrious and ingen.
ious young press agent up New York
way who started the search. probably
will get more publicity than he had
bargained for.
District Attorney Swami, according
to dispatches from New York, is after
the press agent. And he says he is
perfectly willing to help him out in
his craving for publicity by putting
him behind bars and getting his name
smeared all over the front of the met
ropolitan dailies.
Mrs. Nina C. Van Wrinkle. chief OF
the Women's Bureau of the District
police, is in hearty accord with the
idea of District Attorney Swami. 1t
was Mrs. Van Wrinkle who assigned
several of her copettes last week to
work on the case, and who quite
kindly aided the reporters in their
search for friends or relatives" OF
the missing woman who might throw
some light on her supposed suicide.
1T is worse than sending in A
false alarm" said Mrs. Van Wrinkle
"aAd / think the press agent who
started such thing should certainly
be prosecuted. Members of the police
force have enough work to keep them
busy without handling false alarms
In New York District Attorney
Swami has issued a subpoena for a
man named George Mills, who gave
his address as 24O East Thirty sixth
street, and who found the planted
hat and hand bag, containing the
name of miss Yuki Onda. Washing

ing to the police with the result that
a search was started both in Wash
ington and New York for information
about Miss Onda, and members of the
New York police department dragged
the lake for twenty-four hours, hunt
ing the body.
Swami also will subpoena Harry

High school frateTnties and sorori-
ties. which, until several years ago
flourished and were Recognized by
school authorities, may come BACK
into existence next fall. Former high
school fraternity men are endeaVor'
ing TO have the Board OF Education
lift the ban on secret socities In the
schools.
Since the school board three years
ago banned secret school societies
the number OF fraternities and sorori
ties in the high schools have IN
creased considerably. New ones arc
coming into existence daily, and tha
old established socities are increas-
ing their membership in unusually
large numbers.
When the Board of Education three
years ago passed a resolution against
secret socities, IL created quite an
uproar. With the personnel OF the
board now changed. fraternity men
believe the board will be more kindly
disposed toward fraternities.
The school boards attempt to clear
the schools of secret orders failed
utterly. At least ten fraternities and
eighty-four sororities flourish in the
high schools today. These organiza
tions have more than several hun
dred members and are meeting
monthly in homes of members, hav
ing no houses. These societies exist
without the sanction of school Of
ficials.
