PLAN COUNCIL
Joint Conference on Pay Re-
vision Expected to Create New
Body for Varied Activity.

TIL. Federated Council of Civil
Service Employees" will be given
birth when the joint conference on
retirement meets Friday evening To
consider a change of name in order
TO permit discussion and exchange
Of opinions by the conference on 9TH
er matters affecting the welfare of
Government employees.
MEANS VARIED ACTIVITY.
AS constituted now the conference
has worked on only the question OF
retirement. for which issue II was
created. X. III. Alcorn, chairman. and
other members of the conference see
in It's organization an opportunity for
varied activity. especially 80 since the
Sterling-Lehlbach retirement bill has
become law.
Following in the footsteps OF the
retirement conference, the joint con-
ference on recla ssifcation of salaries
is next expected to change and
likely merge with the retirement
body under the title OF Federated
Council OF Civil Service Employees"
The Lehlbach Reconsideration bill will
soon be in the hands of Congress and
the majority work of the reciassifca-
ton conference will have been &c
complished
HIGHLY ORGANIZED.
Tho reclassif1cation conference
stands as one OF the most highly
organized and most representative
bodies of government employees 1t
embraces more than a score Of various
associations and clubs throughout the
departments.
The movement to form an en-
ployes' council has gained favor on
every hand. 1t is regarded as an
especially desirable effort since the
proposal to authorize personnel COM
mittees in the departments died with
the Jones Redistribution bill. An OPP
portunity is seen in a council to func-
ton as personnel committees would
have in the respect of presenting
grievances to the proper authorities
and working toward the general bet
terment of the federal employe-
The retirement conference will
likewise consider proposed amend
ments to the Sterling-Lehlbach bill at
it's meeting tomorrow night which
will be held at 1923 New York avenue
northwest.

HOOVER GRAT|F|ED
BY D. c. RESPONSE
"ShoWs Capital Realizes Ser
iousness of Situation in
Europe" He Declares.

Praise for Washington's response
TO the appeal of his organization
was given this morning by Herbert
Hoover, chairman of the European
Child Relief, who arrived here to
appea rbefore the House Agriculture
Committee.
ct am very gratificd by the
progress of the European Child Re-
lief campaign in the District of Co
lumbia," Hoover said. TT shows n
realization on the part of its citizens
of the situation in the central Tu-
ropean counties. particularly Poland
and Austria, combined with a most
commendable spirit of charity
cit is true, of course that charity
begins at home and do not urge any
American to give until he has done all
he can to relieve suffering in this
country. But after aiding at home he
should try to contrive to assist these
helpless starving little ones abroad"
Hoover said he estimated a contrl-
hutton Of 50 Ia cents from every man
and woman in America would provide
the necessary relief for the European
situation.
