ENGRAVING BUREAU
MAY RE|NSTATE e
CaraWay Resolution to Probe
Dismissal Comes Up
Again in Senate.

Reinstatement of the employees of
the bureau of engraving and printing
discharged by executive order in
March, 1922, may be made, il was re-
ported at the Capitol today.
The dismissal of these employees,
twenty eight in number, caused
sensation in Washington. Investiga-
ton was urged by Senator Caraway
at length in the Senate. Senator Cara
ways resolution was buried in the
last Congress.
The reinstatement of the employees
it was suggested today. might fore
stall further investigation of the
whole matter.
At the opening of the present ses-
sion Senator Caraway reintroduced
resolution calling upon the Presi-
dent to give the Senate complete in
formation regarding the dismissals.
Senator Caraway'S resolution again
was passed over in the Senate today
with the understanding that it would
not lose it's position. When the res

Senator Caraway had asked to have
the resolution go over for a few
days and that he hoped this would
be done. Senator Caraway concurred
in the request.
1t was reported today that efforts
would be made TO obtain the in
formation desired by the Caraway
resolution, perhaps without the adop-
tion of resolution, and if that was
not forthcoming a modified resolu-
tion would be put through.

COP. CHOOSES CLEVELAND
FOR CONVENTION JUNE 10
Pepper Leads Successful
Fight to Save South
Delegate Strength.
AppOrtiOnment of 1920
Retained After Hot
Session.

An effort to cut the delegate repre-
sentation of the democratic solid
south" in the republican national con-
Vention at Cleveland next June and
divide the surplus nominating votes
among the faithful northern states"
was blocked today, after a bitter
fight on the floor of the republican
national committee
When the convention is called to
order in the Ohio city on June 10, both
the place and the date of meeting
having been selected" by unanimous
vote shortly before noon, it's delegate
strength will be apportioned virtually
on the old-time basis of full represen-
tation for the south as well as the
north.
The action today was a complete
reversal of the reapportionment pro-
gram approved by the committee in
1921, which would have pared the
number OF delegates from thirteen
southern states down to a negligible
quantity. 1t was taken through the
adoption of an amendment sponsored
by Senator George Wharton Pepper
of Pennsylvania. and over the vigor-
Gus protests Of delegates. who warned
that reconsideration at so late date
would be interpreted as political
move to boost the strength of states
likely to vote for President Coolidge.

BEAUTIFUL GARDEN OF ROSES
