TO DISCUSS CRITICISM
OF THE LEHLBACH BILL
Federal Employees Will Consider
Salary Equalization for
Identical Work.

Provisions in the Lehlba CHI reclassi-
hcation bill which are held in some
quarters to work against equalization
OF salaries for the same work per-
formed are to be discussed at a meet
ing of the board of representatives of
Federal Employees Union. No. 2, to-
morrow night at 1923 New York ave-
nue..
Equalization of salaries was one of
the big aims of the report and bill
OF the reclassification commission, but
1t is contended that the provisions of
Representative Lehlbach's revised bill
Will not make for equalization.
The commission brought out the fact
that two government workers doing
identical work in two departments
would be receiving salaries just 100
per cent in difference. 1t was to cor
rect this state of things in general
that an elaborate system of classes
and grades was drawn up. and ample
provisions made for the ALLEGATION of
employees
1t was pointed out today that the
Lehlbach bill provides that if an en-
ploye is receiving more than the mini
mum of his class his salary shall not
be touched, and that in no case it
shall be reduced. This is understood
to mean that If a minimum of $3.50
for chief telephone operators is set,
and one operator is receiving $1,000
and another $1,000 for identical work,
the former will be raised to $1,32O.
but the latter left in possession of
his $2,400 salary.

all of the work of the association to
be done by board Of directors, con-
sisting of fourteen members, with
three meetings each year OF the entire
membership. 1t is also proposed to
change the name of the association to
that of Anacostia Board of Trade and
Civic Association. The proposal to
change the name met with opposition
from the civic section, although the
business section the night before
unanimously approved of the plan.
Final action on the proposed change
will be taken at the January meeting.

Washington by Inland 80
! Waterway. ~

Water will be turned out of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal before
the end of the week. officials of the
company announced today, thereby
closing the 1920 boating season for
this inland waterway which has
transported 133.413 tons of coal. from
Cumberland, Md. since early spring.
OF the total shipment approximately
$4,000 tons have come to Washington
the remainder having been diverted
to Williamsport and way points.
The tonnage handled is Slightly be-
low that Of 1919, but is considered a
good showing, in view Of the fact that
the canal was out of operation for
nearly a month in the spring on ac-
count of breaks and only sixty-fiye
barges were operated. as compared
with seventy-eight last year. 1t is
the intention to allow water to re-
main in the Georgetown level dur

the canal will be drained for its en-
tire length of 178 miles and reduced
to the proportions of a ditch Repairs
will be made during the winter and

conditions permit next spring, it is
announced.

RESOLUTION TO REPEAL
WARTIME ACTS READY
House Committee Exempts War
Finance Corporation and Dis
trict Rent Laws.

Repeal of wartime legislation was
urged upon the House by the judiciary
committee in reporting out the Vol
stead resolution. with an amendment
exempting the War Finance Corporation
act from repeal in addition to the Lever
food control, District of Columbia rent
and trading with-the-enemy acts and
those measures authorizing the issuance
Of liberty and victory bonds. all of
which were specifically exempted in the
resolution as introduced.
Mr.. Volstead said he expected the
resolution would be considered in the
House before the end of the week.
The rules committee, he added, will be
asked to give the measure preference
and to agree to provision for limited
debate.
The War Finance Corporation act is
still in effect, although the corpora
ton which functioned under it's pro-
visions has practically suspended
operations Possibility that Congress
may revive the war finance board to
afford relief to farming and business
interests led the committee to recon-
mend that the act be exempted from
the repeal resolution.

CITY CLUB WOULD
|. UNITY VOTE A|DERS
Plans to Cooperate Citizens
Associations in Suffrage
Campaign.

Pledging itself to a policy of active
cooperation in the fight for national
representation for the District, the
suffrage group of the City Club last
night adopted comprehensive pro-
gram designed to unity the .activi-
ties of the various citizens organi-
cations that are engaged in the suf-
frage campaign.
1t went on record unanimously as
favoring the holding of a suffrage
mass meeting and polling the Senate
and House to determine the present
attitude of Congress toward the en-
franch Using of District citizens. The
resolutions. however. were framed
with the condition that the proposed
action should receive the support of
the citizens joint committee on ma
tional representation for the District
Suggests Clubs Policy.
Roy L. Neuhauser, chairman of the
group. outlined the policy which he
thought should govern the clubs eff
forts in the campaign, Rather than
adopt a program of it's own, without
regard to the plans of other organi-
cations. Mr.. Neuhauser thought the
club should promote cooperation to
the end that District citizens might
present a solid front when they go
before Congress.
This view was subscribed by the
members of the group who suggested
that as far as practicable the club
coordinate it's activities with those
of the citizens joint committee, whose
fight for national representation already
has gained considerable Roadway.
The resolution favoring mass
meeting provides that it shall be ar
ranged by the club under the aus
pices of the citizens joint committee.
while the proposal adopted favoring a
pei1, of Congress was made in the
form of a recommendation to the
joint committee.
Group to Make Inquiry.
The suffrage group, on its own ac-
count, determined to make an inves-
tigation as to the number of citizens
in the District who would have the
right to vote should suffrage be
granted by Congress. A committee
was. appointed to institute this in
quiry without delay.
1T, also was decided to invite Samuel
GOmpers and other labor leaders to the
next meeting of the group, which prob
ably will be held just before Christmas.
The club wishes to ascertain the feeling
of labor toward the proposal for ma
and, as far as possible, coordinate its
efforts with those of the labor organiza-
tons
Plans for sending speakers before
civic organizations and conducting an
extensive publicity campaign received
consideration There also was discus
sion of a proposal to tender a reception
to- new members of Congress after
March 4. but final action in this mat
ter will not be taken until later.
247 Join Group.
chairman Ne,hanser stated that 247
members of the club have Joined the
suffrage group. OF 487 members who
voted in a recent poll, all but nineteen
recorded themselves as favoring national
representation, he said.
The committee appointed to get sta
tistics regarding the number Of per-
sons in the District who retain their
voting privileges in the states and who
would have the right to vote here if

CADETS TO MARCH MAR. a.
Arrangements Being Made for Men
From West Point and Annapolis.


The corps of cadets at the Military
Academy and the brigade of midship-
men at the Naval Academy will ap-
pear in the parade at the coming in
auguration of President eIect Hard
ing in accordance with a custom of
many years. Owing to the proximity
of the Naval Academy the transporta-
ton and care of the midshipmen can
be arranged without much trouble
They can make the trip from Annap-
oils on the morning of the Inaugural
ton and. return to their quarters at
Annapolis in the afternoon.
Tentative plans for the participa-
ton of the West Point Cadets, in or
der to avoid two nights travel, pro-
vide for their arrival here the even
ing preceding the day of Inaugural
ton and their departure for West
Point. the morning following the new
Presidents induction. That will in
volve special arrangements for their
shelter and subsistence in this city
for two nights. 1t has been suggested
that cadets be quartered and cared for
in one of the public buildings.
It 10 estimated that the transporta-
ton of the cadets will cost $4,000 and
their subsistence on the round trip
and in this city will cost about $4,000
more. Congress is to be asked to
make special provision for the par
ticipation of the cadets and midship-
men.
