Declaring that II any inefficiency

as they have the power in their own
hands TO recommend the assistants
for permanent appointment after
their six months probationary ap-
pointment has expired.
Federal Employees Union No. 100
embracing the women employees OF
the bureau at an Indignation meeting
last night condemned tho attitude OF
the plate printers, denied their
charges and depiored their giving
publicity to what they alleged to be
. misstatement OF facts.
Miss Gertrude NJ. McNaIIy. secre-
tary OF the union. declared this morn
ing that the records OF the examining
division showed that the greatest per-
centage OF spoilaGe OF printsrs' work
Is for "sly-wipes," '1ifts." and

way be attributed to the assistants.
NAY CAUSE FRICTION.
plate printers are paid by the
piece rate. and in many instances the
presses are speeded up for produc-

take part In the hearing, opposing
for these women any increase In fare
The effect OF these united protests
Il is believed. will be a contributing
factor in causing the commission to
render a decision In the case, turning
down the petition
STRESS IMPROPRIETY OF RAISE
The representatives OF the public
at the hearing will lay special stress
on the fact, In the words OF reso-
luton passed by representatives OF
thirty citizens associations last
night, that an increase to the Capt.
tai Traction Company Is neither nee
essary nor proper"
The company claims II Ia earning
less than per cent on its valua-
ton, and points out IL should earn
3 per cent The company asks for
the adjustment of the privilege Of
buying tokens at tx cents as
means to enable the company to
earn a fair return.
1t Is possible. and in some quar-
tcrs expected, the commission will.
Instead OF granting higher fare, ask
congress to merge tho two street
car lines and also relieve the Wash
ington Railway and Electric OF the
burden OF paying taxes and paying
salaries OF crossing policemen.

Johnny knew instantly that whoever
had made it was very close at hand.
Johnny Chuck flattened himself down
on the ground instantly. Peter crouched
with his long hind legs ready for a
jump the instant he should be dis
covered. Again came that loud sniff,
and again little shivers ran up and
down Peters back. AS for Johnny
Chuck the hair along his shoulders
and backbone began to rise and into
his eyes crept look Of anger.
There was a great difference between
Peter Rabbit and Johnny Chuck, as
they waited to see what would happen
Peters eyes had the look of fear, but
there was no fear in Johnny Chuck's
eyes. That shifting sound drew nearer
and nearer, and presently they saw
who was making it. 1t was strange
dog. 1t, wasn't very big dog, not
nearly as big dog as Bowser the

Mayor Sees Rockefeller

Foundation Back Of Security
League, He Tells Education
Board Head

In letter yesterday to Aiming 8.
Prall, president Of tho Board Of Edu-
cation, Mayor Hylan declared that tho
movement of the National Security
League for better schools was "purely
camouflage." He said that 1t was the
"old Rockefeller Foundation crowd"
again endeavoring to get control Of the
schools. The Mayors letter was in an
swer to one from Mr.. Prall in regard
to the reported movement Of the
league.
'"This National Security League, !"
said the Mayor, with few exceptions,
is made up of the old educational
and wanted the children of the city
trained for the shop and factory, in
stead of for higher professions. Their
so-called movement for better schools
is purely camoufage. You do not hear
them advocating more schoolhouses or
better fundamental education for the
children. Their motive is to get con-
troll Of the schools Of our city ana
state.
Look over the names Of the commit
tee carefully and you will find that q
great majority of them were connected
with the last administration, which
favored Gary schools, and some Of
them, such as William Hamlin Childs.
were actively and openly interested in
the last Mayoralty campaign. From
time to time the people will have little
trouble in finding out that the Rookie
feller Foundation educational crowd is
again endeavoring to get control of our
schools"
