VOTE To Be
TAKEN ON
MAT TER
BYDEC.1
Action Based on Attitude OF
National Body Toward
Groups Program

The National Federation Of
Federal Employees, which has 60,-
900 members. is expected to sever
its affiliation within one month
with the American Federation of
Labor. which sponsored it.
This was admitted today at
headquarters of the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
where President Luther C. Stew
ard revealed that the groups ex-
ecutive council had unanimously
approved a referendum to secure
approval of all the member locals
to withdrawal from the A. F.
of L..
win Vote This Month
The locals, all over the ,coln.
try, will vote on the witldrawals
at their November meetings, and
submit their votes to headquar-
ters here about December /, and
If the result is as anticipated, the
organizations constitution will be
altered, eliminating all reference
to the A. F. of L.. the parent or
ganization, and the Government
workers will then have separate
and independent unit henceforth.
Two serious factors have caused
a rift between the National Fed.
Grafton and the A. F. of L. re.
Gently. The first. which caused
President Steward and Secretary.
Treasurer Gertrude McNally to
urge a definite break, came re.
Gently at the Vancouver .conven.
tion of the A. F. of L.. which
voted opposition to the personnel
classification bill sponsored by
the National Federation.
Major Plank Denounced
This bill, to extend classified.
tions to the field service, was de.
nounced by the A. F. of L.. al.
though this is the major plank
in the Government workers plat.
form.
Also, President William Green,
of the A. F. of L., was a member
of the Clifford Pinchot committee
on unemployment relief which in
its recent report specifically in.
dicated that Federal employees
had not borne their share of EN-.
ployment spreading.
President Steward made clear
that Government workers would
welcome a survey and appraisal
of fact in this matter, but even
though Mr.. Green had a SUBJ
ordinate actually sign the report,
it is no secret that the National
Federation officials were irked by
the way the report was prepared,
seemingly wi thout consulting
authoritative sources of informa.
ton as to conditions in Federal
employment.
The call for a referendum by
President Steward and Secretary
McNally to the locals bristles
with reprisal. They were otter
ally shocked" at the A. F. l.. con.
Vention's action; the persons who
wrote the A. F. L. convention re-
port lacked "even an elementary
knowledge of the laws" the lob.
vious ignorance" is cited the
gravity of the blunder" is empha-
sized in the call for a referendum.

long, slow cooking necessary TO
bring out the flavor of the meat
and make it tender would ruin
the vegetables II they were allowed

others that can be prepared in the
oven. There is wide group OF
bread puddings. including bread

"Bettys." All the dried fruits are
well adapted to this method, for

DERHAI .one of the most eco
nomical methods of cookery Is
zen casserole" The thrifty house
wife has used this type OF cooking
ever since man decided he would
rather have his food cooked than
raw and the crude clay pot with
its cover TO conserve heat was the
first casserole.
There are many points in favor
OF casserole cookery IN addition
10 its merit as means - economy.
Foods cooked zen casserole" are
delicious, for their full flavor is
developed and the toughest por-
tions are made tender. There Is
no loss of food value since very
little water is needed and the ma
terial cooks in the steam Of its own
juice.
Any food which can be boiled.
steamed or baked can be cooked
in casserole. Vegetables, tough
cuts of meat, desserts, combina-
tions OF meat and vegetables and
left-oyerS are easily and appetiz-
ingly cooked in this covered bak-
ing dish.
This method of oven cookery
also. conserves the housewives
time and strength. After the food
is placed in the casserole, little
attention. II any. is paid to 1t, and
since the food is served in the
same dish in which it Is cooked,
there are fewer dishes to wash.
Hints for Casserole Cooks
In preparing casserole dishes,
first cut the food into pieces for
serving. In the case OF meat, ricn-
ness of color is gained If 1t Is
Drowned over the fire In a frying
pan before putting In the casserole.
After putting meat In casserole,
add water to frying pan and bring
10 the boiling point. Pour over
contents OF casserole and season
we'll. allowing 1 teaspoon salt and
IA teaspoon pepper for each cup
OF water. Cover and put in a
