PROTESTS AGAINST
TREASURY SHAKEUP
Civil Service Reform League
Issues Statement on Peti-
tion in Congress.
BLACKLIST is REVIEWED
Eighty Of Those on 1t Are
Protected From Dismissal
Without Cause.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HrRALp.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c.. June IS. !
or the 1876 Treasury employees whose
dismissal was demanded in a petition
last week more than half come under
the protection OF the civil service and
their removal for political reasons would
be violation of the civil service law,
according to a statement issued to-day
by the Civil Service Reform League.
In Its statement the league asserted
that investigation Of the list named In
the circular shows that eighty Of the
employees have all the protection that
the civil service regulations can give
and declared that before their removal
from office it would be necessary to
give each OF them statement showing
the reasons for dismissal and also an
opportunity to reply TO the charges
against them.
The official records examined by the
league disclosed, 1t Is asserted, that
thirty-two of the employees in question
were placed on the civil service list
through examination before the Wilson
Administration took office In 1918;
eleven entered the service by examina-
1890.
Three of those whose names were
blacklisted are shown by the records of
the civil service committee to have been
appointed in 1922 to positions not under
the civil service. Five of the names are
not to be found in the records of the
commission. indicating recent appoint
ments under the present Administration.
Four of those cited for dismissal are
shown to have resigned several months
ago.
while the offices OF fifty-six OF the
employees said this statement of the
league "are not classified under the
civil service he records of those men
and women show them not to have been
political appointees in any sense. They
are in many cases men and women who
have worked UP to their present posi-
tions through the ranks.
1.-THE excellent records of many or
the employees contained in the petition"
the statement continued. coupled with
the fact that many OF them have stated
that they are stanch Republicans, and
finally the reputation of the whole af-
fair by Secretary Mellon, thoroughly
discredits the efforts OF the members Of
Congress who signed the petition"

of Republican Senators, however. re-
vealed that they were in the minority
Mr.. McCumber announced in the
Senate yesterday that he would ac-
quiesce in the plan of keeping the
tariff before the Senate with the un-
derstanding that the bonus should fol-
low Immediately. Some of the Finance
chairman's associates, however, headed
by Messrs. La Toilette. Capper and
Johnson, threatened to run up the
Jolly roger" and insist on compelling
Mr.. McCumber to keep his pledge to
the Democratic Senators and set aside
the tariff for the bonus.
This condition of affairs will prevail
when the Republican conference is
called to order tomorrow morning.
The function is likely to add greatly
to the comedy features which have
been rapidly developing In connection
with the bonus within the last ten
days. The indications are that the
Lodge program for keeping the tariff
before the Senate will be adopted by a
very large majority.
Few IL any of the Republican Sena-
tors opposed to the bonus-somewfere
around twenty-fve-wil1 participate
in the party conference. On their be-
half Mr.. Borah served notice in the
Senate yesterday that they would not
be bound by any decision reached by
the conference. Mr.. McCumber will
put up vigorous fight to commit the
Senators attending the conference to
his plan for bringing in the bonus
after the tariff las been put through.
There will be great deal Of resist
ance to this by the Senators who will
elect to follow the Presidents request
that the merchant marine bill have
preference after the tariff. The chances
are, however, that Mr.. McCumber and
his associates may win their point. al
though the value Of 1t is uncertain as
long as the opposition to the bonus
continues.
Republican and Democratic Senators
opposed to the fantastic scheme to i'm
pose further burdens on the taxpayers
for the benefit OF able bodied ex-ser-
vice men will resort to every legisla-
tive device to defeat it. Under the
rules they can debate it until the end
of the present Congress and thereby
prevent vote on it. That they intend
to do so was clearly established in the
debate yesterday, when Senators Borah,
Underwood and King scornfully re-
jected the proposal Of Mr.. McCumber
to agree as to the length of debate and
on date for vote.
Democratic Agsressfon.
The embarrassment confronting Mr.
McCumber and the other bonus Sena-
tors on their own side of the chamber
is not any more disturbing than the
aggressive attitude which the Demo-
cratic bonus Senators will adopt. Sena-
tor Walsh (Dem., Mass), who Is prob
ably the most earnest advocate Of
the bonus in the upper house, boldly
charged yesterday that the majority
of Senators on both sides were really
against the bonus and were trying to
trick the ex-service men. He declared
that the Senators wEo profess friend
ship for the bonus measure were
secretly trying to defeat it. He served
notice that the agreement made by
Mr.. McCun1ber with the Democrats to
bring the bonus before the Senate
without further delay no longer held.
Both he and Senator Ashurst, Demo-
Gratis. said Mr.. McCumber had vio-
lated his pledge.

ON TROOPS IN CHINA
Trying to Get All Foreign

BALTIMORE, June Is (Associated

withdrawal Of all foreign troops from
that country, Sadao Saburi. Char ge
d'Affaires of the Japanese Embassy, de-
clared in an address to-day at the First
Unitarian Church. Mr.. Saburi referred
to a recent order removing Japanese
troops from Hankow. and declared the
Japanese Minister at Pekin has been
instructed by his Government to take
UP the matter of withdrawal Of other
troops with the representatives of the
countries interested.
Japan hopes that all the other for
eign troops stationed in Pekin and other
places according to the protocol signed
after the Boxer rebellion Of 1900 will
be withdrawn as soon as order is re-
stored in China he added.

reason to hope for a general advance

Before the conference conditions

course. for me TO say that there were
In this country those who expected war

other countries those who desired IL.

many who feared war between our two

| agreed with Senator Lodge on a legis-
| lative program which, in effect VIC
lated his agreement with the minority
was accepted by the latter as releasing
them from their part of the contract
Wherefore, they told him If he failed
to go through with his agreement i'm
mediately a motion would be made on
the Democratic side of the chamber
to substitute the bonus for the tariff
at once.
This threat has naturally had the
effect of further aggravating the dis
tress of Republican bonus Senators
who have been frightened by the
threats of reprisals by the officials OF
the American Legion If they do not
pass a bonus bin. Mr.. McCurber,
whose political needs are very great,
is depending on the soldier vote to
pull him thror IN the North Dakota
primaries a week from next Wednes-
day.
McCumber's Friends Apprehensive
If the Democratic bonus Senators
make good their threat and take from
him the credit for pressing the bonus
bill, his friends are apprehensive that
the soldier vote will go to some other
candidate for the seat he now holds.
There is little question that the ma
jority of Democrats who think they
perceive political advantage in forc-
ing the Republican majority to bur-
den the people with further taxes to
pay the bonus intend to carry out
A. rftl- Of q
ting enough Republican support to re-
place the tariff or force Mr.. McCumber
and the bonus Republicans to desert
the soldier voters at the instance Of
President Harding.
It is not certain that Democratic
confidence in this respect is entirely
unwarranted. A number of Republi-
can bonus Senators have encouraged
their Democratic confreres to go ahead
with their program If Mr.. McCumber
does not make good his pledge. Sena-
tor La Toilette Is one OF them. The
insurgent Republican from Wisconsin
intimated during the debate yesterday
that he would not be governed by the
decisions OF the party conference to-
morrow but would move at once to
set aside the tariff and take up the
bonus.
1t is not improbable that he will do
so as soon as the Senate meets to-
morrow. A gesture in this direction
by the Wisconsin Senator or the DEM
ocrats will probably precipitate ver-
bal clash that may continue for an in
definite period .and crowd both the
tariff and naval appropriation bills Off
the Senatorial map
In expectation or runpus there
will probably be a larger attendance
Of the Senate during the coming week
than during the tariff debate. which
has continued since April 20. Several
Senators who have been engaged in
canvassing for denomination have
been summoned In anticipation of a
decision on the bonus bill. The inter-
est Of the majority of them, of course,
is to record themselves In favor of the
bonus regardless of its fate at the
White House and the certain defeat
of any attempt to override a Presi-
Dental veto.
The situation undoubtedly will be
cleared TO some extent by develop
ments during the week. That depends
entirely on the plans of the President
for meeting the issue raised by Mr.
McCumber or the decision Of the con-
ference Of Republican Senators.

IN all the rush for Government
jobs in the last year and half
there has been nothing like
the scramble that is on now for
jobs on American ships since it has
been discovered that intoxicating
liquor is being sold aboard. All ap-
plicants want jobs as bartenders.
The amount of salary, which
heretofore had been primary con-
sideration, does not matter in this
instance. Most of the applicants
have written to the Shipping Board
and to members of Congress. but
some come to Washington by train.
They have besieged the Capitol,

experience. Offering to demonstrate
their ability if they can find some

GROUND BOUGHT FOR
SILK MILL IN MILFORD

Through DR.. Evans G. Roberts we
learn, that the parties interested in
establishing mill to manufacture ar
tifcial silk in Milford, have bought
and paid for the land on which the
mill is to be located. The site is near
the eastern boundry of North Milford,
on the road leading from Milford to
the New Wharf. 1t was owned by Mrs.
George Holmes, who has accepted
the offer made for her property and
title will be passed as soon as the
deeds can be drawn and executed.
To DIR. Evans Roberts is largely due
the locating of this industry in Mil
ford. He has continued to keep the
parties interested in locating here,
when others had lost interest. DR..
Roberts went to a conference Of those
interested at Chester, Pa, on We'd
nesday afternoon as soon as the deal
for the property and site for the plant
was consumated. The plans for build
ing will be announced as soon as de-
cision is made as to what is to be first
required to be completed.
