AS 1T HAPPENED IN
THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
Adam, they say. was fine old
sahib--
Whose mate was formed from his
own rib,
When. burriedly. Inc awoke one
day,
He found the Dame, standing in
his way.
To him she looked fine, and
quite replete,
So ne said .Amen" which means
$50 be II"
Then as he scanned the dinner
menu so neat,
He remarked. .'It's time for me
an you to eat" ~
Now as Adam was always ON the
square
He gave his dame this diamond
solitaire:

UNION ALLEGES
BUREAU CUSTER
UNFAIRLY MADE
Charge Printing Employees Dis
missed Saturday Were Given
No Warning.

Louis A. Hill, director OF the Blu.
reau of Engraving and Printing.
today was asked for the list of $40
employees, many of them mothers
supporting children, who were sum
marily dismissed from their positions
at the bureau late Saturday after
noon. Miss Gertrude McNally. secre-
tary of Federal Employees Union,
Local No. 105, representing 2,20o
women employees of the bureau, made
the request.
Director Hill refused TO make pub
lie the names of those who were TO
be dismissed. according TO Miss Nc
Nally, in sufficient time to permit
them TO obtain new employment.
According to plans of the new
bureau administration, which have
been known for months, the follow
ing classes were to be discharged In
the order named: Employees eligible
for retirement and working underthe
two-year extension: married women
whose husbands were working and
affording adequate support, and en-
ployes with no civil service status.
Charge Discrimination.
The women's union claims that no
such discrimination was made In Sat
urday's housecleaning, and as re-
suit many workers with fun status
under the civil service and with salts
factory efficiency records were let
out. while certain employees railing
under the classes named above were
retained.
Formal protest against the bureau
chiefs action will be framed at
meeting of the unions executive com
mIttee at It's headquarters, 1873 new
York avenue, at o'clock today.
Among the discharged workers
who called at headquarters this
morning was an unmarried woman
who entered the bureau before the
war period, and Is the sole support
OF a family of thirteen younger
sisters and brothers. Many other
similar cases have been reported to
the women's union since Saturday
afternoon, said Miss McNsily.
Angry At Tactics.
Emergency employees appointed to
positions In the Bureau during the
world war. said Miss McNally, went
without civil service status, as there
were no eligibles on the registers
OF the Civil Service Commission.
They were retained with the know
ledge of the commission, and were
understood 70 have been transferred
TO the eligible list with accredited
standing in the eyes of the COM
mission.
THE union does not protest
against the dismissal" said Miss
McNaliy, because we have known
for months that such an action
was coming. But we strongly de
pIore anL condemn the manner in
which the dismissal was effected.
Mr.. Hill. although he had the list
of emploses slated for dismissal
DAYS before the event occurred, re-
fused 20 give these people any more
notice than the letter he sent them
on Saturday afternoon"

WILL THE ICEMAN TELL
WASHINGTON ABOUT THIS?

Dear Mr.. Price:
L am just wondering. with all
the rest of the things you stir up,
II you could not agitate the ques-
tion of the delivery, or rHther the
non-delivery. OF ice on Sundays.
This practice ended with the be-
ginning of the war and has re-
mained a dead one ever since.
IL is rather disagreeabie feat"
ure to skirmish for ice every Sum
day morning. and IL you happen
TO get out after IL o'clock you
don't get any. and all the contents
of the refrigerator are apt to be
spoiled by Monday morning. 1
have my ice box, a generous one
for one person, filled to capacity
on Saturday, and by Sunday II has
shrunk so much that unless 1t was
added to on Sunday, there would
be none by Sunday night. Every
thing else is growing normal. why
should not the ice question?
