General Williams Declines to

A bitter controversy has
broken between the War De-

bred in and around Washington:
General Williams, chief Of the
Ordnance Bureau, has broken a

TO enter into any wage negotiations
with the machinists or other unions.
Matters are now al a deadlock, &C.

many years, and not until wage ne

stand that he will deal with spoKes.

FAVORITE
GET JOBS,
CHARGE
Redistribution Plan Being
Violated by Division Chiefs,
Employees Assert.

Favoritism in the current
classification of Federal employees
in Washington is being charged
against various departmental
chiefs and supervisory officials
by the rank and file of workers.
Protests against this personal
element" which it is said will
break down the spirit and useful
ness of the Sterling-Lehlbach
classification law if persisted in,
are pouring in upon the Fedora
ton of Federal Employees.
Officials Quote Letters.
A letter received today by the
Federatin follows:
Referring to the objections you
have raised as to the method of
classifying Government employees,
you will note this clause: that pay
shall be based on duties performed.
THE duties performed are those
fixed by the chiefs of the various
divisions. There is not a chief of a
division that is not influenced by
the personal element that is
favoritism. Capacity and efficiency
| are Disregard for personal feelings
simply because the pay does not
come from the chiefs but is from
the Government. The chiefs have
no other interest to consider. Work
is given to favorites for no other
purpose than to- fix their pay
status.
This is an angle that anyone
can find out who will get down to
details. Complaints are made that
every. department and division a.
this condition exists. Let the COM
plainant become known to his inme-
date chief and he will be let out at
the first opportunity.
"The classification is not a dis'n-
terested effort to do justice, but to
take care of self and favorites. The
result is that everyone except the
few favOrites are Disguised and dis
contented. but dare not express
their sentiments
Other Protests Received.
Other communications expressing
the belief that the District classifi-
! cation will be a failure and will
have to be done over again are be-
ing received by the federation.
The officials of the federation are
being given strong support in their
policy Of opposition to the Brown
Wood-Smoot plan, which, it is ar
serted, has been adopted by the
Personnel Classification Board in
implied If not express violation Of
the Sterling -Lehlbach statute. The
| complaint of the federation sent to
General Lord, chairman of the Bud
get Bureau, and to CHAIRMAN War
wick, Of the board, has not yet re-
ceived the formal consideration Of

PLUG UP

Warehouses Bulge With Hugh
Stocks Of Beer, Wine and
imported Whiskey.
By w. II. ATKINS,
International News Service.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Washington is stocked with the
greatest supply of whiskey and
other liquors it has had since the
Volstead law dried up the town,
according to reliable official in
formation given to the Interna-
tional News Service today. The
town is literally flooded with
every description of intoxicants,
and now held in all sorts of stor-
age places for release to the
thirsty at fabulous prices, in
expectation by the holders that
the Shrine convention, which will
double the city's population this
week, will create an unprecedented
demand,
Dry Officials POwerIess.
Prohibition officials, with extra
forces of men imported from other
kaistricts and by expenditure of large
huns of Government money to cope
With the situation, have been al
most powerless to check the in
ush of high-power beverages. They
ave made many confiscations in
aids and in stopping liquor cara
ans, but the seizures, as one high
fficial Of the Treasury put it, Is
My a drop in the bucket"

Confidential advices to Treasury
officials today disclosed the fact that
liquor stocks already piled up here
have been brought in camouflaged
I'm freight and express shipments,
besides the usual devices adopted by
the regular bootleggers in their
transport of whiskey over the auto
mobile routes. Prohibition officers,
convinced they are up against real
problem in enforcement, are short

the hidden supplies.
Large supplies of liquor are said
to be carefully hidden in all kinds
of warehouses, in some instances
without the knowledge of their
owners. Private shipments for pur-
poses of entertaining have been
large, officials said. These have been
brought in by the purchasers from
cities which are classified as wet
and where liquors can be easily
obtained.
Bootleggers are said to have pre-
pared to replenish their stocks If
they are quickly exhausted by
extraordinary demand. This will be
especially easy for them If Governor
Al Smith of New York, signs the
enforcement law repeal bill, for
enormous stocks of liquor are held
in readiness for shipment across the
Canadian border and through New
York and Ne wJersey waters If that
happens

Ed w. Howe, who is a keen
observer, and who publishes a
monthly magazine out in Kan
sas, devoted to his own opinions,
carries in the current number
an interesting statement re-
garding Crime in America,
which should be sufficient to
give folks in this country con-
Germ. Many who read his efsus-
ions will agree that he writes
Interestingly even if many do
not agree with him. Howe paus-
es to remark;
1T is rare American who
does not feel superior to for
eigner. Yet the number of
crimes of violence in the United
States has increased 1900 per
cent, in ten years, 1t costs
more to handle criminals III this
country now than it costs to
maintain all of the education7
al institutions in the country.
