TWIN PROGRAMS
COMPLETELY
IGNORED
Workers Confined to Fight on
Adverse Legislation Instead
of on Benefits

The session of Congress just
adjourned enacted little legis-
lation favorable to Federal en-
ployes, and was prevented
from serious unfavorable legis-
lation only by constant and
hard fighting, a check-up this
week revealed.
OF the IA points in the pro
gram recommended by the Civil
Service Commission, only one was
partly effected by Congress, while
the IA points in the program OF
the National Federation of Federal
Employees went untouched.
Too Much Hostility
All attention had to be con-
centrated on blocking moves in
Congress hostile to what the
workers regard as their best in
terests, and championing positive
legislation quickly gave way to
opposing negative legislation.
The plans of the Civil Service
Commission for unifying and
equalizing Federal personnel work
had little chance this session.
It's other plans, falling by the
wayside, were for shifting funds
and personnel from an idle office
to an overworked one; for estab-
fishing a central file of finger
prints including the Army and
Navy at the Department Of
Justice; for Civil Service Court
Of Appeals; for giving the Com
mission power to penalize viola
tors of civil service rules; for
letting the Commission administer
the retirement law; for lowering
retirement age; for retirement
of partially disabled: for putting
presidential appointiye 0sitionS
under the classified service.
These Also Failed
Also for placing deputy col
lectors of internal revenue, office
deputy marshals, employees in the
U. S. Employment Service and at
torneyS in. the Classification Ser
vice; to apply the competitive-ex.
animation system to District
municipal employees; and for in
Sisting that residence eligibility
for the apportioned departmental
service shall be established in &C.
cordance with voting privileges.

VET LOSES ARM
+ UNDER TRAIN

Gurney White, 36-year-old
World War veteran, who had
been in Washington several days
seeking an adjustment of his war
compensation, had his left fore
arm cut off last night when
thrown from the platform Of
Southern Railway train at
Seventh and D Streets South
west.
White was en- route to his
home in Mount Vernon Springs,
Va, police said, when in passing
from one coach to another when
he was thrown down the steps as
the train jolted over a switch.
