Met Hard Problems.

In Haiti Mr.. Bailly- Blanchard was
called upon the meet several difficult
situa tions, the first of these arising
out of the financial policy of the
Haitian government which compelled
him to file protests against an issue
of $S.000,000 of Treasury notes and
the closing Of the National Bank of
the Republic of Haiti.
In 1920 Mr.. Bailly- Blanchard was
the subject of an attack by Presi-
dent Dartiguenave of Haiti, who told
newspa per correspondents that Haiti
has been under the oppression of the
American minister and his financial
adviser" This attack was a part OF
the Presidents opposition to what he
termed violation on the part of the
United States of the treaty between
Haiti and the United States. State
Department spokesmen subsequently
denied the presidents charges, as
serting that the minister had not dis
played undue zeal in the civil ad-
ministration of the islands govern
ment.
Bailly- Blanchard had been in
Washington for several months re-
Gently doing some special work in
the Latin American division of the
State Department. Having COM
pleted that work, he had applied for
80 days leave, of absence and it Is be-
lieved by officials he had gone to
Canada TO spend it there. When he
left Washington, however. he was
apparently in excellent health and
was to have returned here for in

.S1,5OO AS LOW WAGE
Reform of Retirement and
Classification Acts Is
to Be Demanded.

Proposals that Congress fix $1,000
as the minimum annual salary for
Federal employees and liberalize the
retirement act. and that there should
be better administration of the classi-
tication act will be placed before the
annual convention OF the National
Federation of Federal Employees in
Boston the week of September Z.
In announcing that calls to the con-
vention have gone out to Federal
workers throughout the country, ma
tional headquarters OF the organiza-
ton here said a resolution will be
presented urging that Congress fix
81 500 as the minimum annual salary
of all Federal employees TO bring Gov
ernment salaries to point where
they will be more compa BILE to those
paid in private industry. Proponents
OF this measure point to the great
number of technical experts who are
constantly resigning from the public
service to seek far more remunerative
positions with commercial concerns as
an argument in favor of increasing
Government pay to prevent the large
percentage of turnover in Federal
personnel.
Administration of Act Hit.
The most important question to
come before the Boston meeting, ac-
cording to National President Luther
s. Steward. is insistence by Govern
ment employees on proper admins
tration of the ella ssifcation act.
Experience with the present ad-
ministration of the act" President
Steward declared, has clearly demon
strated that every abuse in its apph
cation can be attributed 10 shocking
maladministration. Salary schedules
carried in II for the District of cohlm-
bia must. in all fairness, be adjusted
upward. and fair and adequate salary
schedules for the field services must
be adopted by Congress. A survey of
the field services is prerequisite To
field classification, and as the present
agency has made no survey of the
field services and is not disposed To
make one. we must see TO it that the
administration of the act is placed in
competent hands.
Amendments Demanded.
Undertaking. amendments to the re-
tirement law are absolutely esse ntial.
Due to the decision of the cabinet
that extensions shall not be granted
a greater number OF employees are be
annuity inadequate TO keep body and
soul together. A shorter work day,
pay for overtime, better compensation
laws-all of these need the attention
of the delegates to this convention"
The convention will open September

erty.' Among the speakers will he
