Study of Effect
OF Speed on Fair
Workers Urged
Woman's Bureau Head
Says Lack of Funds
Slows Up Her Work.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A study of the effect of speed on
the working woman is urged by Mary
Anderson, director of the WomeE's Bu-
reau. in her annual report.
She asked an increased appropriation
for this and other special studies, say
ing that the bureaus work was Sc
riously retarded" by lack of funds.
Quoting Dr. Julius Klein, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce, that workers
output has increased SIS per cent In
the last nine years, as against AT per
cent for the 20 years previous, she said,
1.-The progress that comes with modern
methods of mass reduction can be OF
benefit TO the Matte :, Only If It does not
involve a disastrous amount of human
waste in industry"
The problem is women's, she said,
since women are engaged largely IN the
occupations classed as repetitive, pc
culiarly susceptible to speeding up and
machinization.
Studies of posture, occupational haz-
ards, the piece work system and the
married woman in industry were also
recommended.

BUS AND UTILITY
OFFICIALS CLASH
Commission Weighs Com
plant That Line Operates
Without Authority.

Sharp exchanges today between mem
bers of the Public Utilities Commission
and officials of the East Coast Stages
marked a hearing called to consider
complaints of competing bus companies
that the East Coast lire is operating
buses between Washington and Rich
mond without authority.
The commissioners retired to con-
slider a decision after two-hour ses-
sion. The high point of the hearing
was reached when Harleigh H. Hart
man, vice chairman of the commission,
asked j. L. Armour, general manager
of the line, whether he realized his
company was subject to penalty OF
5000 for each day it has been operating
the Washington Richmond service.
Nor replied Armour, but am ia
miliar with law which provides that
the commission has no authority to in
terfere with interstate traffic
II am not" rejoined Hartman.
"Show it to me-"
Armour then read a paragraph in a
statute providing for the regulation of
interstate traffic which, he commended,
supported his argument. The witness
added that his company merely had
applied to the commission for permit
as matter of courtesy. In answer to a
question, he said his line intended to
continue operation of the Washington
Richmond service, indicating his COM
pany would take the case to the courts
should the commission undertake to
restrain it.
Earlier in the hearing Armour testi-
fed that Thomas Wood, another official
of his line, had attempted to get
authority from the commission to
operate the interstate service and had
been given the impression by Earl v.
Fisher, secretary of the commission, that
his request would be granted. Armour
contended Fisher had given his COM
pany an informal order" permitting
them to institute the service.
Wood was called as a witness and cor
roborated the statements of Armour. He
told in detail of conference he had
with Fisher shortly before the service
was instituted November q last.
Fisher testified that the slip of paper
introduced in evidence by Wood in sup
port of his story was written by Fisher
at the dictation of Wood, and was in
no sense an order of the commission
but was merely list of the route to be
followed by the bus line in entering and
leaving Washington should the commits
sion later grant its approval.
The Nevin Bus Lines, Inc, and the
Southern Motor Transit Co. were repre-
sented at the hearing. The former
operates buses between Washington
and Richmond under temporary order,
and the latter seeks permission to oper-
ate.

ling! Goes Rock,
Crash! Goes jug,
"Jail,'' Says Judge

BY the Associated Press.
LEWISTON, Idaho, December O.
When it comes to throwing rock ac-
curately Mike Ambro has talent to burn.
furthermore, Mike is as big-hearted as
he is talented, but he has practically no
discretion at all.
Mike, Nez Perez Indian, was at
tending the trial here Saturday of his
friend, Mox Mo&, on liquor charge.
The evidence, in a jug, was sitting on
table near the judge.
After sizing up the situation, Mike
quietly left the court room, but returned
in a few minutes with a carefully Sc
lected rock which he kept we'll out of
sight. He waited until everybody's at
tention was conferred upon the proceed
ings, took careful aim and gave the
rock hearty heave.
1t was perfect as far as Mike could
see. The jug broke into bits and the
liquor spattered over the Judge.
Even with the evidence gone, the
court quickly decided that Mox was
guilty, and that Mike had shown about
$3.50 worth of contract. Mike didn't
have the money. One nice thing about
it. though, was they got cells close to
each other.

RECORDEROF DEEDS
SOON TO QUIT POST
Impending Resignation of
A. G. Froe, District Official,
Reported to White House.

Arthur G. Froe is contemplating re-
signing as recorder of deeds for the
District of Columbia, the White House
has been given to understand.
The President is beginning to receive
recommendations from political leaders
in various States who are anxious to
land this patronage, it was made known
today in connection with Froe'S pur-
ported move. The recorder of deeds
pays $500 year, and for number
of years some one from the colored race
has been appointed. 1t is looked upon
as the choicest position in the Govern
pointee.
Kansas Man Recommended.
The Kansas congressional delegation,
evidently hoping to be one of the first
in the field to make claim to this
patronage, called at the White House
today to recommend Martin R. Powell,
who is at present assistant librarian
of the House of Representatives branch
of the Congressional Library. Mr.
Powell, the President was told, Is a
native of Wathena, Kans., and has been
a resident in Washington for more than
10 years. His sponsors said also that
he is an educator and well qualified to
fill the recordership.
It is understood that Republican
leaders of Kentucky already have pre-
sented the name of a colored Repub-
lican of that State to be considered in
connection with this Federal position.
The White House has been advised by
Republican leaders of Delaware that
they shortly will present the name of
a colored citizen of their State for this
place.
District Not Yet in Field.
It is not known at this time whether
or not the Republican leaders in the
District of Columbia will make an
effort to land this patronage for local
resident. This matter will be taken
up at meeting to be held the latter
part of this week by the Republican
State committee for the District of
Columbia.
Recorder Froe was appointed by the
late President Harding. No explanation
has been given at the White House
why he is considering retiring. The
position is one of those which the
occupant holds for no definite term,
but merely at the pleasure of the
President.
