WORN BANK NOTES
Maceration Done Here in Pres

While the thousands of visitors to
the Capital are ever interested in
the printing of United States money at
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, Uncle Sans money ing shop,
few know what becomes of the bright,
crisp notes when they become mu-
tilated or partially destroyed.
Yet the end of the So bill is quite as
interesting as its birth, and just as
much care Is taken to preserve it's
value on the day Of burial as on the
day of it's issue.
All mutilated notes are sent by
banking institutions throughout the
country to the Treasurer OF the Uni
ted States for redemption. BY him
they are turned over to the Comp
troller of the Currency. after being
sorted, counted and inventories are
made in the office OF the Treasurer.
The notes are then sent to the Washing
ton agent of the national bank who
sent them for redemption. This agent,
one of them being the firm of a. s.
Pratt IL sons. recounts and certifies
to the bank and the Comptroller the
results Of the count.
Destruction of the mutilated notes

OUTSIDE MONEY TO

Citizens Federation Hears New
Source Of Capital May
Boost Development.

That "outside capital" was interest
ed in the gas situation in the Dis
trict, was the statement today of W.
b. Wcstlakc, president of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations. Mr..
Westlake refused to give any details,
other than to say that "a group of
men with whom / am connected eN-
pect to offer a solution to the gas
question before long"
At a meeting OF the federation last
night in the District building, Mr..
Clayton expressed qualification that
the Public Utilities Commission, in
fixing the new gas rate Friday, did
not allow the company n return of
s per cent on the value of its prop
erty.
Members of the association declared
that they feared that IL the commits
sion allowed the gas company's con-
tention for an s per cent return. the
street car electric light and tele-
phone companies would be justified in
asking the same returns.
1t also developed at the meeting
that the Washington and George
town Gas Light companies and the
commission have received complaints
from residents of the District. par.
ticularIy those living in suburbs, to
the effect that there Is low pressure
OF gas for use between the hours of

WOULD RAISE

Federal Employees Union De-
cIares Present $14.50 Weekly
Scale Is Too Low.

Criticism of the conduct of a
majority" OF the minimum wage
conference considering the wages for
women laundry workers in this city
was made yesterday in a petition
addressed TO Col. j. S. Essby-Smith,
chairman of the conference, by rep
resentatives Of the local Federal en-
ployes unions.
ATTITUDE ~ SCORED.
The petition states that I'VE do
not feel that the best interests OF the
public thus far have been represented
by the actions and attitude OF the
majority OF the conference"
Objection was voiced this morning
at the headquarters of the National
Federation OF Federal Employees 10
toward the living budget OF the
laundry workers. 1t was declared
that he took the position that wo. h
ing girls were not entitled to wear
Kid gloves. but that wooden gloves
would suffice. Criticism also was
made To the alleged ruling out Of
certain testimony relative to condi-
tons effecting the laundry workers.
THINK WEEKLY RATE TOO Low.
A committee OF Government en-
ployes representing the National
Federation OF Federal Employees and
each OF its four local Branches in
Washington and the Postoffcc clerks.
yesterday called on Colonel Easily
Smith and protested against the wage
rate OF S14.5O week previously rec
commended by the majority OF the
laundry conference. The committee
insisted that the cost Of living, "a
shown by official findings Of Govern
ment bureaus, be made the basis for
the minimum wage for laundry
workers.
WANT ~ MINIMUM.
The committee cited the cost
of living studies of the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics. the Joint Congress
sional Commission on Reconsideration
of Salaries and the women's bureau
OF the Department of Labor as tho
proper basis for the minimum wage
for laundry workers. These studies
show a minimum cost of living at
about SO to $22 week.
The principle OF a single wage stand
ard. regardless of sex and color. was
insisted upon. and attention was call
cd to the fact that employers organi-
cations In the District have urged a
minimum wage OF more than $40 a
week for Government employees. in
