u. S. CLERKS DEBATE
RIGHT T0CAMPAIGN
Discussion on RecIassifica'
ton Activities Planned at
Meeting Tomorrow.

whether or not government depart
ments should work toward influencing
the passage Of reclassification legis-
lation by Congress will be the big
question considered at the meeting
of the Joint conference on reclassifica-
ton at 1929 New York avenue tomor-
row night.
The question has been placed square
ly before the government clerks by
reason of a letter from a cabinet
official refusing to allow speakers OF
the conference to address the clerks
in his department on Reconstruction
on the ground that he did not believe
the departments should use their In
fiuence in any way to sway Congress
in passing legislation.
This cabinet member is Secretary
of one of the very largest departing nts.
and his refusal is one OF hve from
department heads to allow speakers
Of the joint conference to speak be-
fore assembled clerks in their own
departments.
Debate Promised Tomorrow.
The Secretary's reason has brought
to those who are actively working for
Redistribution legislation a very in
teresting question. one which will be
threshed out pro and con at the meet
ing tomorrow night
There is general opinion among
members of the conference that gov
eminent clerks have every right to
urge Redistribution legislation. so
long as they confine themselves to
legitimate activities.
1t is pointed out that the activities
of the joint conference have been
largely confined to the educational
aspects of proposed Redistribution OF
the civil service. 1t is believed both
the clerks and the general public can
be educated to a better knowledge of
Just what rccla ssification will mean to
the government.
There has been no attempt. it is de-
clared, to influence Congress in any
improper way and no intimation that
such action would be taken. Much
stress will be placed upon this point
at the meeting tomorrow night.
Letters of Refusal to He Read.
The letters from the five secretaries
of departments who have refused to
allow the conference to hold meetings
in the department buildings will be
read. Plans of the conference for the
partments and bureaus, to begin Au-
gust 16. will be contaminated. The
first meeting will be held on the date
specified in the Navy Department.
Plans are being contemplated for a
Joint debate between those in favor
of and those against reclassification.
The name of a prominent congress-
measure is being prominently men
toned to take the negative.
AS for the affirmative. it is not antic-
ipated there will be any difficulty get
ting some one to uphold that side of
the argument.

HUNSONSTRIKE
AFTER ARRESTS
Outbreak Threatens on
Rhine as French Suppress
Labor Leaders.
By $. b. coNGER.


-Cwashington HeraId-Publfc Ledger
Service. Special CabIeG Dispatch.
Berlin, June %. - The long con-
tinued friction between the French
authorities and the local population
in the occupied zone along the west
bank of the Rhine, resulted yester-
day in a twenty-four hour general
strike of workmen and business en-
ployes throughout the Palatinate.
The immediate occasion was the
arrest of a number of popular labor
leaders against whom the French
claim they found evidence of espion-
age and of plotting a rising against
the occupational troops but whose
offense, according to the German
version, lay in their connection
with a semi-official Home Service
and opposition to French-fathered
designs to encourage a separatist
movement on the left bank OF the
Rhine.
French repressive measures. ar
rests and threatened court-martiais
of labor leaders are increasing the
unpopularity of the buffer state
project.
The situation, according to dis
patches, is tense. French troops
with machine guns are patrolling
the streets of cities in the Palatinate
and are instructed. according to
French proclamations to suppress
disorders by armed force. The rail-
roads have been requisitioned and
a state of siege is threatened.

Berlin, June 22.-Germany is now
in the third week since the parlia-

without a government capable OF

Heinze, of the Peoples party: Karl
Trimborn, the Centrist, and DR.,

are directed toward bringing to-
gether a coalition composed Of the
Catholic center, Democrats and the
Peoples party. the latter two ele-
ments being thoroughly hostile and
willing to consider the possibility of
political cooperation only because
they see no other way out of parlia
The chief obstacle at present to
this coalition is the monarchist
principle of most of the Peoples
party leaders and the Democrats de-
mand a clear. unequiyocal declara-
tion from their partners in the pro-
posed coalition in favor of a con-
tinuation of the republic. The Peo-
pies party representatives are
naturally unwilling to deny their
principles expressly and the efforts
of President Ebert and Herr Fehren-
bach, who will assume the chan
IL successful. are directed
to finding some formula for a gov
ernment declaration which can be
accepted by both parties.
The cabinet, IL formed, will be
purely and simply "a Spa cabinet"
formed ad hoe to have a temporary

tente representatives at Spa. The

have charge of the ship
