Agriculture Department
Is Praised From Afar

The Department Of Agriculture,
which has more direct contacts
every day with the public than
any other Government depart
ment, probably gets more
bouquets" than any other de-
partment. also.
Consulted by financiers and
farmers, housewives and horticul-
turists, the Agriculture Depart
ment dispenses information and
bulletins, not only in this coun-
try but elsewhere, with a dis
patch and cordiality which are
commended every day.
y w. B. Hayes, of Allahabad, In

partment for some publications
for use in the American Presby
terian Mission in India, voices
a typical attitude as follows:
81 have long admired the

Agriculture not only for the ex-
ceIlent work it does in Amer

and willingness to spread its

DOONS
SPLIT WEEKS
IN US. JOBS
Federal Workers Point Out
ImpraCtiCaIity of Plan
to Provide Relief

Officials of the National
Federation Of Federal EN-
ployes, claiming to speak the
sentiment of all Government
workers in this respect ex-
pressed satisfaction this week
that President Hoover has
shelved apparently for all time
the suggestion that Govern
ment workers voluntarily go
on part-time work so that their
posts could be taken a day or
so each week by unemployed
persons.
The plan, recommended speci-
fically by the Wheeler subcom-
rnittee of the Presidents Organ
ization for Unemployment Relief,
was found Impractical under ex-
isting law" by the White House.
Resentment Increases
The fact that President VIII
liam Green, of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, was a member
of this Wheeler committee caused
added resentment by Federal
workers. ;
Some of the reasons advanced
against the plan were:
l. Hiring and dropping Govern.
ment workers entails much red
tape, and it would create con
fusion to try to split weeks with
various employees.
2. Government works itself Is
different from ordinary office
work, requires special knowledge
and training, and ordinary work
ers picked from unemployed lists
would be unsatisfactory.
Other Relief Seen
3. There are other ways. of
affording relief for unemployed
persons and, besides, it is not
expected that the present unem-
ployment distress will last long
enough to justify the trouble
splitting weeks would cause.
4. Salaries and duties Of Gov
ernment workers are definitely
specifi. i by law, and regulations
surround every post, so that If
married women are removed alto
gether simply because their huS-
bands may also be employed, or
if other workers are laid off by
compulsion for part of each week,
the Civil Service laws would be
thrown overheard.

IDEA
DISCUSSED

A discussion of the proposed
separation Of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees from
the A. F.. of L. occupied most
of the time last night at the
meeting of the Board Of Repre-
sentatives of Local No. 2, Fed
eral Employees Union.
President Steward and Secre-
tary McNally took part in the dis
cussion, and renewed their pleas
for a complete break with the
A. F. Of L.
No definite action was taken
to commit the board to either
side, however.
The National Federation Of
ficers also were present and out
lined their stand at these other
meetings this week:
Monday night, Treasury Local,
No. 262; Tuesday, Women'S Local,
Bureau of Engraving and Print.
ing, No. 105; Thursday, Mems

VOTE Of UNIONS
WATTS TOTALS

Following the announcement
that the first five locals Of the
National Federation of Federal
Employees to report to head
quarters here had voted unani-
mouSly for separation from the
American Federation Of Labor, it
was stated today at the National
Federation offices that no more
reports of voting by locals would
be made public until all are in.
It was pointed out that the
final result probably will be known
within three weeks, since all the
412 locals over the country were
asked to Lallot on the question at
their November meetings, and to
forward certified statements Of
the results at once.
What few opinions of members
and officers of the ii locals in the
District could be obtained this
week were divided and indefinite,
the members apparently awaiting
the meetings and more informa-
ton before committing themselves.

/, s. TRANSFER
POOL PLAN
SUCCEEDS
SO Federal Clerks Listed Being
Available for Shift; System
Reduces Discharges

The fact that a total of 38
Federal employees are listed
this week by the Civil Service
Commission is being available
for transfer to new posts, in
dicates that the pool plan for
equalizing personnel in the va
rious Government departments
is working out.
The geeral idea Of the pool sys-
tenn is to make available for Sc
lection by any department need
ing help, those employees who for
one reason or another are not
needed particularly in their pres
ent department.
Prevents Discharges
This prevents surplus employees
from one department from being
discharged, although another de-
partment needs and is taking on
persons from the Civil Service
Commission list.
This plan is under supervision
of the Federal co-ordinating SER
vice in the Interior Department
Building. Although recent in
novation, it already has prevented
surplus employees from being dis
missed from certain departments.
and given them priority over the
regular Civil Service register list
for choice by other departments
needing help.

ist, sheet metal worker and

CAMPAIGN
Contributions of Days Pay a

As plans went forward to-
day for the campaign among
Federal and municipal en-
ployes here for pledges of
three days. pay for local un-
employment relief, employees of
the National and District gov
ernments, through their lead
ers, expressed confidence that
practically all would donate
this sum.
Following the organization
meeting yesterday at the Civil
Service Commission, where IS
representatives of the judiciary
and executive branches of the
Government perfected plans fd
the solicitation campaign. whicA
will begin Tuesday, departme,1
executives today are naming ttN
official solicitors of pledges in
their offices.
Pledge Cards Ready
There will be one solicitor. at
least, in each department, who
will distribute pledge cards and
later collect them, and see that
the payments thereon are turned
over to the treasurer of the Com
munity Chest.
The pledge cards will read:
Realizing that unemplOy-
throughout the United States
has created an emergency which
requires the assistance of all
our people, and desiring to do
my part in every way possible,
1 hereby pledge myself to con-
tribute one days pay a month
for three months, to become part
of funds raised for unemploy-
ment relief for the winter Of
1892 in the District of COlum-
bia and for other activities
sponsored by the Community
Chest of Washington, ID. c., for
the year 1882.
Confidence in Chest
'Tt is understood the first
payment on my pledge will be
due and payable on or before
the fifteenth day of each
month, beginning with the
month Of January, 1882, and
that the gross rate Of pay as
shown in the Government sal
ary table shall be the basis
of this pledge"
The fact that this money is
being solicited for the Commu.
nifty Chests winter relief and ali
other activities shows that those
staging the campaign among the
employees have full confidence in
the Community Chest, said
Thomas e. Campbell, chairman
of the unemployment relief work.
The contributions from local
Government employees is expected
to total $1,000,000, or practically
half of the Community Chests
budget for the year.

today to the Secretary Of the In.

The report shows that 4,336

under care at the hospital during
the year. OF this number 871
were pay patients, 1899 were indi-
gent residents of other States and
2,064 were INDECENT residents of

DR.. Warfield asks the minimum

Under a new ruling now in
effect, all retired Army officers,
no matter in what part Of the
world they may be, must re-
port by letter to the War De-
partment here in order to get
their monthly pay checks.
The department points out
that a large number of retired
officers make their home in
France. It also reminds that
this is just a step to simplify
bookkeeping; to make the pay
ment of retired officers similar
to payment of active officers
who themselves must sign the
payroll; and to keep headquar-
tiers here informed of the death
of retired officers.
