CHARGES BOARD.
IS BREAKING
PAY LAW
Redistribution Steps Again
Attacked by Smith, Man.
ager of Engineers.

Leonard B. Smith, Federal man.
ager of the American Association
Of Engineers, in a letter to Chair
man r. j. Bailey of the personnel
classification board, today gave his
reasons for charging the board with
violation of the reclassification act.
Smith summed up the objections
of the association in four counts.
He said the board erred in reuuir-
Ing department heads in the Dis
trict to allocate positions ito the
rejected bureau of efficiency SEIZED
ule, including those parts which
were rejected in both Senate and
House."
The law, Smith states, specifically
directed ALLEGATIONS to be made to
the grades in the approved COM
pensation schedules as contained in
the act.
Declares Law Violated.
THE uniform procedure outlined
by the board to govern department
heads" the letter states, did not
include the class specifications re-
quired to be prepared and pub
lished.
The board has not yet prepared
a classification for the District of
Columbia that distributes the posi-
tons by classes, according to the
definition of class as set forth in
the act.
1.-THE board has disbanded its field
division which was proceeding in
full accordance with the act, and
has called upon department heads
to make ALLEGATIONS for the field to
the bureau of efficiency schedule
despite the fact that this schedule
Ifs not In accordance with the re.
|quirements Of the act and was req
jected by Congress"
Answer to Bailey.
Smith points out that the bureau
Of efficiency schedule was rejected
by the House when offered as an
amendment on the floor and the
conferees rejected such parts Of It
as were rearranged and Incorporated
under the grades as the bill passed
the Senate.
Smiths letter was in reply to q
communication from Chairman
Bailey who asked the engineer
whom he represented, what author
lty he had and what assistance the
association had given in aiding re-
classification.

Interesting speculation in regard to the possible next move of the c. P. R. Is going on all over the west, says the Prince Rupert News. No one seems to know anything but there are plenty of people who pretend to have inside information.
 Persistent rumors indicate tha. the c. P. R. is active in connection with another railway north of the Grand Trunk Pacific will tap the Peace River agricultureal prea, 7he Ground Hog coal areas and the fine coun- try round the head waters of the Naas River. The Peace River Record tells of survey parties going through and suggest that Naas Bay will be the Pacific Terminus of the line.
 There is no doubt but the country to the north of us will be opened up before long and it is likely it will be done under private ausrices rath- CT than by the National system. The c. P. R. took over the old Macken- zie & Mann charter to build from Peace River to Stewart, but the ter minals are never very definitely fixed in charter and are usually subject to change before finally de- ciding on the location and many diff erent factors will determine the route. What we say, what Stewart says, or what the people along the route say has little influence. The project is so stupendous that minor consideration have to be swept aside and the general usefulness of the line considered. ..:

WOMEN OF TURKEY MAY
 SOON CAST OFF PETERS

CONSTANTINOPLE. June 10-Tur- kish women seem destined soon to enjoy the same freedom and privi- leges as women in the United States. Mustapha Kennel has promised them the vote and they are now beginning to shake off the letters which have kept them to domestic bondage since time immemoral. A great women's political congress will be held here shortly, and a countrywide suffrage movement inaugerated. Women pos sessing diplomas of higher or secon- dary education may appoint dele gates.
 One of the leaders of the new movement says the object of the Turkish women is to obtain the vote peacefully within two years. Mean while, the firststep in this direction was won recently when the women elected a Turkish women teacher on the council of preliminary education Women voters appeared at the eleca- toral assembly in greater numbers than the men and some interpre- ted as showing modern enlightened Turkish women's lseenness in social matters.
 Mrs Mark Bristol, the American High Commissioner. is active in Turkish social and civic societies and has given the Moslem women leaders much useful counsel based upon the experience of American women in political and puplic life. .~..
 Ninety percent of Turkish women are illiterate. Their education ex- tends little beyond remorization of parts of the Koran Turkish Bible) and certain acquaintance with household and maternal duties. Their husbands regard them as merely convenient mediums to ad- minister to their needs and pleas ures. .: @

NO ADVICE NEEDED

America knows its own business best, can judge for itself whether or not it will join the League of Nation and this without any advice from European countries" Gabriel Han otaux, former French Minister of Foreign Affairs, said recently to The Associated Press.
 There is no doubt in my mind that that the United States will eventual ly cooperate more closely in Europe an affairs, but whether this takes shape in the form of joining the League is matter for Americans to decide MT. Hanotauz continued. America is well able to look after it's own affairs, and it is my impres- sion that no blame can be directed against Washington from Europe be- cause of failure of the American senate to ratify the pact of the League of Nations.
 For the present it tehooves us to try and settle our own muddled situation before attempting to give advice to America" Mir. Hanotaux concluded.

Everybody in Ketchikan believes there is something to the stories a. bout Harding weather" It was bright clear day when President Harding arrived here on his Alaskan tour and such days are few and far between in the Territory's southern most port where no less an auth ority than Admiral Rodman asserts that ''it rains 360 days every year and drizzles the other five" This portion of the coast really has about thirteen feet of rain annually.
 From the time it was definitely announced at Washington that the President was planning to visit Alas ka the people of Ketchikan began hoping and almost praying that the sun would shine on NIT. Harding hflSH UG SLepPcu dSHOIc. Ahu SuiS enough it did, and members of the Presidential party and some of the people here ascribe it to Harding weather"
 The phrase, Harding weather, grew out of the 1920 campaign, dur ing which not a drop of rain fell in Marion on any of the days that MT. Harding received visiting dele gations on his front porch" Also it never rained during any of his campaign trips. The phrase gained further basis during the recent transcontinental trip which was marked by fair weather except for the day in Tacoma and even then there was only light drizzle which did not operate to interfere with the chief.

The three most pressing Alaskan needs in the opinion of the Juneau Empire, are CD a wider measure of self-government, @ the utiliza- tion of the natural resources of the Territory and (3) the preservation of our fisheries. There are many other needs, but most or all of them depend upon these.
