MORE WOMEN s

Labor, in a talk at a luncheon
meeting Of the League of Women
Voters in Cleveland today, the de-
partment announced. She said:
"When women in industry are

fects of low wages and long
hours, the nation pays the pen

in our present age of mass
production, there is great dan
ger Of playing havoc with the

Every woman who wants and
needs to engage in business
should have a job. Unless wO-
men workers are permitted
enough leisure to permit their

are paid sufficient wages to give
them a sense of security and
enable them to maintain them
selves according to the Ameri-
can standard of living, our civil

kLAN AID Barred
! FOR ROBSON

A special edition of Washing
tons K. K. K. weekly, the Eel
lowship Forum, was sent into
Kentucky to aid the campaign
Of Senator John M. Robson (R0
Of Kentucky last November, but
It was unavailing.
It cost Robert M. Estes,
Deputy Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, $4,000 to have the spe-
cial edition printed and distrib-
uted, and the money was con-
'tributed by william Rist:g, of
Washington, and Michael Tara
dash, of New York, each of whom
gave half of the amount.
These facts were placed before
the Nye subcommittee investigat-
ing primary and election expen-
ditures, which received a letter
from Senator Robsion denying
that he had raised the religious
issued during his campaign.
Commissioner Estes declared
that none of the money came
from Federal workers in the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, as had
been charged.

REPORT
FAVORED BY
CONGRESS
Removal Of Average Clause
Meets Approval of Workers;
Next Session to Pass on Data

The new classification pro-
posals of the personnel board,
contained in the field service re-
port presented yesterday, met
with favorable reception from
Congress today.
Although detailed consideration
of the report will await the next
session, friends of the Federal
employees expressed commenda-
tion for the recommendations con-
tanned in the report, particularly
that section of it aboliShing "the
average clause" and the present
system of efficiency ratings.
Friction Caused
The salary features Of the re-
port remain for a more intensive
inquiry that will be given next
December. There is y distinct
trend in the new rating to give
the professional and adminiStra-
tive workers of the well-paid class
more favorable treatment than
that given to the rank and file
of workers, a policy which has re-
suited in intense dissatisfaction
in the past few years during the
administration of the WEIGH and
BrOOkhart acts.
It appears probable that the
organized representatives of the
Federal workers will call into
question a principle which per-
mits the pay OF Government en-
ployes to be guaged and ruled
by the pay given TO workers in
private industry in similar work.
Criticism already has been voiced
by Luther c. Steward, president
of the Federation of Federal
Employees, of the low entrance
salaries which are maintained in
the new scales.
Harmony Expected
The Federal workers, however,
are so pleased with the plan of
eliminating the present cumber-
some system of efficiency ratings
and the average clause" which
in practice has postponed pro-
motions and pay increases, that
they are likely to join hands
with the Personnel Classification
Board in asking for the prompt
passage of the legislation at the
next session of Congress.

GIRLS GROW FAT.
Of S0.28 DAILY

Maybe it was just the perver-
Sity of women that enabled nine
young women to gain weight on
vegetable diet that cost only
% cents a day?
Completing a four-week test
yesterday to determine the ef-
fects of a meager diet Of cottage
cheese, eggs, peanut butter, to-
matoes and oranges, seven femi-
nine students and two inStruc-
tors of the Washington Mission
ary College have discovered that
they are fatter today than they
were when they began their ex-
pertinent. And it only cost %
cents a day to get fat!
For four weeks the girls re-
Trained from roastS and steaks
and they were treated with deS-
Sert only three times a week.
The menus were prepared by
Miss Ida P. Rogers, a member Of
the Presidents Committee on Un-
employment. She was assisted
by officials of the Red Cross and
the Public Health Service.
Girls participating in the test
were Dorothy Sampson, Edith
Starr, Louise Beatty, Marjorie
Luttrel, Anetta Truman, Mildred
Griffin and Louise Torter. The

OTHER
BILLS SET
FOR VOTE:
Only a Few Amendments Re-
main Before Passage Of
Annual Supply Measure

With virtually all amendments
disposed of, the Senate today is
expected to pass the District Ap-
preparation bill carrying appro-
priations of approximately $46,-
OO0,0 900 for the fiscal year 1882.
Senate action on several other
local bills is also expected during
the day, it having been agreed
that the calendar will be called
before adjournment tonight.
The District has a dozen or
more bills on the calendar which
may come up for consideration.
Amendments ON Streets
Only a few individual amend
ments remain before final action
is taken on the appropriation
measure. Senator Millard E..
Tydings DO Of Maryland, has
one or two amendments, dealing
principally with streets which he
will submit.
The Senate yesterday afternoon
disposed Of all committee amend
ments to the supply measure. It
struck from the bill proposed
amendments which would have
appropriated about $4,000 for
increasing salaries of underaver-
age employees.
Despite the striking out Of
these items, however, the bill,
when it is finally passed by the
Senate, will be more liberal than
that passed by the House.
Addition of $35O,O0O
About $350,O00 will nave been
added by Senate amendments, it
is expected.
Most of the money added by
the Senate is for school building
and administration and for the
parks, while 100000 is for use
of the local George Washington
Bicentennial Commission.

rel.
