FEDERAL WORKERS
ASK HOSPITAL AID
Resolution Urges Civilians
Get Same Treatment as
Army and Navy.

The campaign which the National
Federation Of Federal Employees will
wage for extension of disqualification
benefits to all civilian employees Of the
United States Government. similar to
the privileges enjoyed by officers and
enlisted men Of the Army and Navy.
was started last night by the adoption
OF a formal resolution by the District
Federation of Federal Employees at
well attended meeting in the headquar-
tiers, at ITO Fourteenth street.
The resolution will be presented for
approval by the national convention of
the Federal employees in Seattle on
Labor day. 1t was stated today by
Luther c. Steward. president Of the Ma
tlonal Federation. Various local unions
throughout the country are adopting
similar resolutions. There is a general
sentiment among Government employees
for disqualification rights, and this
promises to be one of the live issues
OF the national convention, Mr.. Steward
emphasized
The local unions now are electing
delegates to this national convention
ana considering various proposals that
VIII be made to the convention in the
form OF resolutions to be acted upon.
more than 40 delegates will attend the
convention IN Seattle from the Dis
trlct unions, with a number of officials
ana employees from the Federation
headquarters and large number of
visitors who will make the trip a part
OF their vacation.
There are some $1,000 members of
the Federation registered in the Ma
tlonal Capital, who are vitality inter-
ested in the action of this convention,
according to Mr.. Steward.
Tho Etadorc fid,, - 1ooo1
night went on record emphatically on
several other important proposals.
These included demand for relief of
widows, children and other dependents
OF civilian employees of the Govern
ment who die from disease while in
active service.
The federation also urged that the
Personnel Classification Board be re-
CURED to give reasons for its rejection
OF an appeal by an employe from an
adverse decision. The board at pres
ent, merely informs the applicant shat
his appeal has been rejected, without
stating any reasons.
Appointment of persons in military
service to non-military duties, which
might be performed by civilian en-
ployes is also strongly opposed by the
federation, in resolution formally
adopted.
Demand was made in another rcso-
luton for annual increased in salary
based on the length of service of each
employee.
An appeal to the National Fedora
ton and to the other local unions of
Government workers throughout the
country. for united support of these
proposals i'll the national convention
was ordered by vote of the District
Federation.

sounding out the operators to ascer-
tain their attitude toward a conference
such as suggested to President Hoover
by John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers.
Sounding Out Operators.
Doak said he hoped matters would
begin shaping themselves within the
next few days. The attitude of the
miners is known, but before a confer
ence can be called and subjects desig-
mated for discussion the ideas of OPP
orators must be obtained. ..s.'.
The labor end of the coal situation
is being worked out, the Labor Secre-
tary said, as rapidly as possible. During
the last month or six weeks the Con-
citation Department has settled an
average of about one mine strike day.
That's getting the labor difficulties
out of the way" said MIR. Doak but
duStry Is uncertain"
Strikes Settled.
During the last few DAYS conciliators
have settled strikes involving about
5000 miners In West Virginia and from
$500 to $500 In Western Pennsylvania
Conciliator Dynes is now in Kentucky
attempting to settle labor difficulties
there Some settlements unofficially
have been reported. The department,
however, has had no report.

Neale and Edward M Welliver. all serv-
ing as prosecutors at Police Court.
Any two of th.m may suspend or re-
woke an operators permit for cause.
Where one of them has prosecuted a
traffic case against the offender, he is
automatically disqualified from sitting
on the board when the question of revo-
cation of the permit comes up.
The new arrangement was decided
upon yesterday at a conference attended
by District Commissioner Herbert B.
Crosby, Assistant Corporation Counsel
Vernon L. West and Secretary Daniel E.

Under the traffic act which went into
effect yesterday the power of revoca-
ton was put into the hands of the

special board in revoking or suspend
ing his permit must appeal directly to
the corporation counsel, who will make
recommendation to the Commits
sioners.
