OVER HALF MILLION
Federal Employees Make Fight TO Keep
{ Reconsideration Measure.

There are more federal employees in
the United States than there are law
yers, clergymen, physicians, dentists,
trained nurses, newspaper men and
college professors combined. according
to the local organization of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal Employees
which maintains that the public should
be vitality interested in any legislation
which affects this large class.
Despite the fact that there were
54S,531 federal employees scattered
throughout the country last year, ac-
cording to figures given out by the
n. F. +. f., little is known of the
federal employees, according to repre-
sentatiyes of the federation. There il
an average of 10000 federal workers
in each state in the union and 66,29O
in the District of Columbia.
1.-The national federation" accord
ing to a local member, ''has centered
its attention upon what appears to be
an attempt on the part of the Bureau
of Efficiency to scrap the reelassifica'
ton act which was endorsed by the
late President Harding as means to
allocating workers in suitable posi-
tions by reason of merit rather than
favoritism. The nation as whole
has a vital interest in the outcome OF
any legislation bearing upon the selec.
ton, classification and retirement OF
this vast body of government work
ers."

FRIENDS THRONC
STAGE AT END OF
LUCCRESE CONCERT
San Antonio Prima Donna
CiUen Ouation for Each
Number.

Josephine Lucchese, coloratura So
prano, "the American Nightingale,
thrilled an appreciative audience at
the Majestic theater Saturday night
in her farewell appearance in this
city before starting on tour abroad.
Lucchese's every appearance before
her audience was apparently the sig
nal for spontaneous burst of ap-
plause from her ardent admirers who
enjoyed her numbers.
Lucchese presented varied pro-
gram of songs in Italian, Spanish,
French and English, and was ably
assisted by Mrs. Julian Paul Blitz,
accompanied, and Z. Sanchez, flutist.
She was presented with a myriad of
floral bouquets by number Of her
San Antonio friends.
Lucchese responded to the prolong-
ed applause by graciously singing
number of encores and so apprecia-
tive was the audience of her singing
that she had difficulty in adhering
to the regular program.
At the conclusion of the concert
many of the friends of the San An.
tonic girl thronged the spacious stage
of the theater to offer their congratula-
tons to the gifted singer.
