TOO MANY
HOG JObs,
He SAYS
Many Supporters Found for
Measure Among Con-
i gressmen.

II you have wife working in the
Government service. Senator Nc
Cnmber may separate you from your
job.
If you have son. daughter, etc,
who also is breadwinner on Uncle
Sans payroll, you may meet the
same fate, regardless of efficiency.
WOULD GRADE employees.
This is the purport of bill intro
duced by Senator McCumber, regulat-
ing discharges from the Federal serv-
fee. He wants to grade the coming
separations from the Government en-
ploy on the basis of the number OF
dependents that the employees have.
He designates three classes to come
nrst in the order of discharge:
Those who have no dependents;
second those who have relatives in
the Federal service; third, those who
have wives or husbands also working
for Uncle Sam.
The measure has been referred to
the civil service committee Inas-
much as the latter committee has only
recently completed hearings dealing
with the efficiency and reclassifica-
ton of Fe0eral WOrkeTs, IL Is not ike
~ that a bill which grades employees
on an entirely new basis viii be re :
garded favorably by IT,
MANY SUPPORT MEASURE.
There is, however, considerable
support in Congress for the principle
which Senator McCumber champions.
Many Senators feel that when the
practice of three and four members
OF family working for the Govern
ment. while others, with only one
worker. are suffering keenly from
the inadeauacy OF Federal salaries,
should be done away with. They are
strongly of the opinion that, when
personnel outs have to be made, there
should be some cognizance taken of
this situation, and that the family
with extra breadwipners' should
feel the pruning knife before the
others
1t is possible that Senator McCum-
Der will seek to have his bill attached
as a rider to the Redistribution
measure.

Although IL is one OF the most
popular and highly attended schools
it is not sufficiently equipped to give
to the students all the advantages
which they should have.
There are enrolled in the school
1 $50 pupils who have to study In
over-crowded classrooms and shops.
In this school, which turns out such
excellent cadet companies, there Is
no armory.
The boys drill on the streets and
are in the midst OF the traffic while
doing so. Equipment has to be kept
in the lunchroom.
There is no gymnasium nor athletic
field where the athletes can train.
The football and baseball csndi-
dates have to go to Potomac Park to
practise,
Again there are 1880 pupils in the
school. The auditorium holds only
COO and at assemblies the hall is
crowded to its utmost capacity and
yet half the school is standing. In
this overcrowded assembly hall there
Is without doubt the best orchestra
that has ever represented school.
Tech has turned out champion foot
ball, basketball and baseball teams.
Time and again Tech companies have
won the drill. more than any other
school in the District of Columbia.
Students of this school have won
scholarships for many colleges and
universities and Tech graduates are
proving their worth everywhere they
go.
