Henry II. Classic, representing the
washington Chamber Of Commerce,
endorsed the Cspper bill and urged
that Washington be aided in the
matter of procuring competent In
structIon for its children. The in
cease in teachers salaries involved
more than the pecuniary features,

that could be secured in no other
way. he said.
Washington. Classic declared. is

OF the expenses in order TO nay
teachers adequate salaries that
would assure children the right
kind Of instruction.
Offers Amendment to Bill.
Paul E. Lesh appeared before the
committee in behalf Of the junior
high school teachers who. he said
would be obliged to take additional
examinations under the provisions
of the Capper bill. He submitted two
amendments for the consideration OF
the committee which would protect
teachers now in once.
George T. Smith, Of the Central
Northwest Citizens Association
(coIored) backed up Lesh in his ef.
fort to aid the Junior high school
teacher.
William Nick. Clayton, represent
ing the Federation Of Citizens As
sociations, appealed for the statutory
employees Of the District, who. h'
insisted, had long ago been prom
ised an increase in salary, but wer'
still waiting for fulfillment OF tbs
promise. He admitted that the teach
ers should receive an increase II

provision should first be made fol
the statutory employe. II IT was nee
essary to choose between raising th'
salary Of the one or the other, Clay
ton insisted that the statutory em

DR.. BslloU. in summing up his tes'

Inefilciency Charge Made
The Investigations. according to
the official, disclosed that many of
the sheets which were made into
money at the bureau were spoiled
as a result of inefficiency and that
plates were let lie about in an
unworkmanlike manner after work
ing hours.
Asked for an opinion as to
whether the President had violated
the Civil Service rules in discharg-
ing the bureau heads, the official
replied that he believed the Presi-
dent was well within his rights, in
Gsmuch as he had abolished the
Offices which the division heads oc-
cupied. Thus, he. pointed out. the
President had in a sense made the
division heads OF no further need
by scrapping their jobs. These jobs
were abolished and then re-estab-
lished by the President through the
process OF remaining hem.
Discussing the suddenness of the
Presidents action in ordering the
dismissal. the official pointed to a
White House prccedent-an action
somewhat similar during President
McKinley's administration.
The official stated that a fresh
investigation, in which Treasury
accountants would participate,
would soon be started in the bu-
reau.
Three women who lost their Jobs
in the bureau as a result of the
Presidents order were among those
at the White House yesterday. They
were Miss Elizabeth Scott. former
chief of the stamp packing division; :;
Miss Madge Kerfoot. and Miss Mar
garet Bealls. All three of the women
had worked a the bureau for at
least thirty years.
Text of Letter.
The statement left for Mr.. Hard
ing reads: Dear Mr.. President:
We came to the White House to-
day for the purpose of requesting
the President to see US in order that
we might inquire OF him the rea-
son for our summary dismissal
from the service. In view of the
AihPlISdlIOn Ol the executive OrQGr
and the White House statement ac-
companying 1t, and the many news
paper articles relative to our dis
missal from the bureau, which have
cast a reflection upon our charac-
ters. suggesting either gross iner-
| ficiency or. what is worse. corrup-
tion of some kind. we felt that as
American citizens we have the right
to know the nature of such charges
and by whom they were made
Furthermore. as Civil Service en-
ployes. we felt that our rights have
been violated and that the provIs-
ions Of the Civil Service law with
| respect to the dismissal of employees
was totally disregarded in our case.
We feel that we have a right to
demand to be confronted with
whatever has been said against us,
to the end that opportunity may be
given us to clear our good names.
We did not come to see the Presi-
! dent seeking reappoitment, but t9
insist upon Justice.
