FEDERAL JOBS
TERRORIzED
Use Economy" Slogan
To Reduce Force

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Fear Of
loss Of their jobs in tn efederal civil
service is haunting tens of thousands
Of employees in the. various executive
departments. in the District of Co.
lumbia and thruout the country, since
Secretary Jardine of the department
OF agriculture has started general
reorganization of the bureaus of that
department. Jardine announces that
he is going to reduce the force, in the
name Of economy.
President Coolidge has followed with
an announcement that all Of the forty
independent agencies of the govern
ment-such as the interstate COM
merce commission, tariff commission,
compensation commission, railroad
labor board, vocational education
board, federal trade commission, etc
are to be given shakeup with the
same object in view.
Hints are given that the compensa-
ton commission, which awards COM
pensation to federal employees injured
while in the.service, may be abolished,
It's work being handed over to some
other branch. A scientific survey" is
to be made, to determine how many
hundreds or thousands Of workers can
be dismissed, and how much addi-
tional work may be put on the Shout
ders Of the remaining employees.
Since congress is not to be in ses-
sion until December, presumably, the
white house has wide-open chance
to secure favorable legal opinions from
the new attorney general and act
upon them in changing the whole
scheme Of the government machinery
before the house and senate member
ship can make an effective objection.

This is expected to bring a max
imum of $4,000 to the w. E. B. il

afiliating directly pay dollar and
workers study classes two dollars
each.
The latter proposals was objected
to by ]. E. Lever of the Philadelphia

DUBLIN GROCERY
WORKERS DEMAND
MORE GROCERIES
Most of the Shops Have
Already Signed Up
BY ROBERT STEWART.
Especial to The Daily Worker

DUBLIN, (By MALTA strike is on
in the big provision stores of Dublin;
the combatants being the master groc-
ers versus the Grocers, Winters and
Allied Trades Assistants Union. The
union is demanding uniform working
day, ETC., in terms Of the undernoted
provisional agreement, viz:
1. 1 hereby agree to the following
demands in respect Of members of
the above union employed by me
pending a final settlement;
Uniform working day commencing
at 3 a. m, and closing at D. m,
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Fridays. a. m. to 8 D. m. on Sat
urdays, with one hour for tea. A
weekly half holiday on Wednesday
commencing at 1 D. m. (unless the
present half holiday is on Saturday
when It must remain.)
2. That a uniform rate OF wares
shall be paid to females on the basis
Of 20 per cent less than that paid
to males.
3. That only certified members OF
the above union shall be employed.
4. Recognition of apprentices BE-
ing members Of the above union.
Strikers Are Winning.
When the strike started about two
hundred shops employing about EIGHT
hundred assistants were involved. al
ready one hundred and thtrtysnve
firms have signed the agreement, and
their five hundred assistants have re-
started. The real battle is made nee.
essary by the big firms like FfndIat-
ers, Leverett G. Frys and Williams.
who employ large number of female
assistants.
The gallantry that sings the prais-
es of "Dublin's fair city where the
girls are so pretty" does not extend
to business. Profit is the god, and
loneliness is asked to bedeck itself
and maintain its glow on the miser-
able wage Of 20 shillings to IS shill-
ings per week. The union however,
says MOI There is got to be no more

ants have thanks to this fighting un.

rising to so shillings weekly while

The union is determined to stand BY

Member of Local No. 80,
Points Out Lies

~. .SPS" ESSeSi " LEO woman
Dear sir:-In your statement of
April 8, 1925, in the Advance, you
stated that you came to the meeting
at $3.50 and there were a 1000 people
there waiting to get in. But as a
matter Of fact, most of these people
were from the Scotch gang who but a
few weeks ago broke up a meeting of
Local 80 under the leadership of
Weinstein.
lou stated you came with Hillman s
crown prince to See if everything was
ready, otherwise you wouldn't come
at $50.
Levin and Burr, who came with you.
asked the manager to open, the hall.
but he told them it was rented to the
Workers Party.
You said you came at $50. What
fool comes to the meeting at $50
when it is called for 500?
You said you mingled with the
crowd and didn't see any slugger.
Permit me to ask how you knew there
were no sluggers there? Do they
wear special uniforms?
If this was New York maybe you
would know the sluggers personally,
but as you were in Chicago few
days, l don't think you could get to
know them in srcrowd.
You said you attend hundreds of
meetings and oas / am a member of
Local 3d. and oattend every meeting, I
have never seen you.
This is another lie You say the
crowd was anxious to hear Levin and
see Liptzin. What do you mean by
saying to see Liptzin? Was it not
for this purpose the gang came there
You say the meeting adjourned at
ten o'clock, quietly. But what about
the man who asked a question, who
was then takeny0ut and beaten up?
Then, Crown sPrince Levin came in
and said, Boys, you're beating up our
own man." 5sn,
don't see how the editor of the
Advance could allow such pack OF
lies to be printed. By this the mem
bers Of A, &C. W: Of A. can't even be.
lieve their own paper.
Now we can just imagine how many
lies you tell the workers when you
get with Hillman after having finished
talking to the bosses.
You say the DAILY WORKER and
the Freiheit didn't give the right
news, but 1t seems as If you are the
crooked one. But we know that pro-
fessors, doctors Of economics, editors
and others sell their knowledge as
some women sell their bodies in the
street. ~ .-.t
