The Federation Of Federal En-.
pioyes filed formal protest with
Comptroller General II. r.. McCarl
soday on his interpretation of the
WEIGH law increasing Federal sal
aries.
The Federation's protest was
specifically III regard to McCarI's
Interpretation OF the relative posi-.
ton clause of the act BY which
employees were supposed to keep
their relative positions In the
grades.
McCarl ruled that where there
will be six salary levels instead of
seven the lower three advance two
levels and the upper four go up
only one.
This Ia clear violation OF the
Intent OF the trainers OF the bill,
the Federation said in its protest
The House and Senate conferees
who agreed to cut off one salary
level at the top in order to meet
with the approval of President
Coolidge intended for those in the
six lower levels to advance two
levels and only those in the highest
grade would advance one level.

out that employees now in levels

new level three, thus losing their
relative position under the McCarl
ruling. This is unfair to employees
in level four, who now are paid
more than employees in three but
will not longer be under the WEIGH
law. the Federation declared.
Congress intended to give Fed
eral employees a total raise of
$24,OOO,00O when it passed the
WEIGH bill. and the interpretation
placed on it by McCarl will result
in $6,O0O,00O less than that the Fed

STATES GRADE CROSSINGS

There are &61 unprotected grade
crossings In Connecticut along Glass
l steam railroads. There were 10
deaths and IS persons seriously in
jured on them during 1917 accord
ing to a compilation made by the
Road Builders News based on re-
ports from the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The situation in Connecticut looks
better than In most other states
merely because OF the smallness Of
the state. The average for the
country over seems to be uniform.
The state with the most unprotected
grade crossings is Texas: the state
having had the most fatalities at
such crossings is Ohio, which has a
few thousand fewer grade crossings
than Texas but has more popula-
ton to the square mile. Such small
state, as Rhode Island, with So I'M
protected grade crossings, and Della
ware, with o5l. are as bad off, rela-
lively speaking. as the larger states
Elimination of certain grade
crossings within New Britain, due to
the insistence of the mayor, is a
splendid promise.
In the country as whole there
are 2o6,5:3 unprotected grade
crossings, and unfortunately their

than the increased number Of pro-
tected grade crossings The number
of protected crossings totals only
e7,747. which includes those guarded
by signals. During 1927 persons kill

NEW ENGLAND pONER

The other day We printed an edi-
torial relating to the large power
development under way in Maine,
this under the aegis of the insult in
interests OF Chicago. who apparently
hope that the Fernald law against
the expectation of electric power
may be changed SOME time or
knocked out by federal court.
But that Is not the only huge
power development under way in
New England. In fact, the biggest
hydro development in the east en-
elusive of Niagara Falls is being

The New England Power COM
pany, vast supeS-power holding
trust is reported as having spent
81 100000 in surveys and the pur-
chase of property along the falls be-
tween New Hampshire and Vermont.
The idea is to create a power de-
velopment which will outstrip any
thing known in New England so far.
The total expenditure planned is
given at s4o,ooo,0O0.
The big business Of the future is to
be the hydro electric power indus

its own way, and though the pub

it must not be overlooked that the
streams and resources upon which
these great developments are based
are public property and that the
public should have a say as to how
they are developed and the manner
OF control exercised.
| The astounding propaganda sys-
tenn OF the power interests ,as
brought to light by the investigation
of the Federal Trade Commission,
indicates that the power magnates
see much profit in sight which they
are bound to get if the public can
be made to think favorably of their
plans. The system Of substituting
educators to write favorable text
books, the pamphlets and books sent
TO the schools OF the country, the
suppression Of books from the school
systems which gave what the power
men considered an unfair treatment
of the subject, the attempted IN

FOREIGN RELATIONS

1t has been asked: What does Al
Z. Smith know about foreign rela.
tons?
A president. it is argued, should
not only know all about prohibition,
agriculture, domestic prosperity and
what is good for American citizens
generally, but he should also possess
an encyclopaedia knowledge OF for
eign relations.
Maybe that is so and maybe 1t
isn't. How much did President Cool
idge know about foreign relations
before he became vice president:
And then president?
Or. admitting that he had a good
working knowledge of foreign af-
fairs. what evidence is there that his
knowledge at that time vas any
superior to the knowledge of the
same subject possessed by Al Smith
today
There may be reasons for prefer
ring Hoover to Smith, but their COM
parative knowledge Of foreign rela-
tons is not one Of them. II ID read
lily admitted by everyone that
Hoover has had a plenitude Of ex-
perience in dealing with foreign ma
tione while private citizen and
while head of the Department of
Commerce. His name is known and
revered abroad, while that Of Smith
is not known abroad to any extent.
But Hoover as President would
not possess carte blanche power to
deal with foreign nations. This is no
