WOOD FOR HIGHER
FEDERAL PAY IF
TIMES co BETTER
Indiana Representative Gives
Central Labor Union His
Position.
DENIES EVER FAVORING
REDUCED CONDITIONS
Secretary Coleman Discloses Reply
From G. o. P.-Democratic
Position Asked.

Having received assurances from
Representative Will r. Wood, Repub-
lican of Indiana, that if times go
better" the old higher wages Of Gov
ernment workers would be restored,
Frank j. Coleman, secretary of the
Washington Central Labor Union, has
asked Democratic leaders for their
position on the question of further pay
cuts and Government salaries.
Representative Woods letter was in an
swer to inquiries which Coleman ad-
dressed to the Republican National
Committee in regard to the prospects
for further pay cuts. The letter was
addressed to William L. HutcheSon, dl-
rector of the Labor Bureau of the
Republican National Committee.
Had Favored Cuts.
In view of Representatives Woods
previous position favoring the pay cuts
already made in Government salaries,
much interest attaches to his letter
promising no further slashes, and hopes
for restoration of the old level.
Permit me to say" Wood wrote,
that the only statement that I eve:
made with reference to further reduc-
ton of salaries was in answer to a
query made by some young lady press
reporter here in Washington.
II told her that positively, II times
go better. there would be no further
reduction and that automatically at
the end of the fiscal year '33, the ole
wages of Federal employees would be
restored. At no time have I expressed
a wish or desire to reduce the work
ing conditions of the employees of the
United States Government"
Inquiries Sent Tobin.
Inquiries have been sent by Mr..
Coleman also to Daniel Tobin, direc-
tor of the Labor Bureau of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, asking If
the committee subscribed to the posi-
ton of Chairman McDuffie of the Spe-
cial House Economy Committee for
greater economies by further reductions
in the pay of employees.
In putting the question of Govern
ment workers salaries before both Re-
publican and Democratic National
Committees during the campaign, Mr..
Coleman signed his letters as secre-
tary of the Washington Central Labor
Union, but he was acting. it is under
stood, under authority of the Legisla-
tive Committee Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.

fit himself in uniforms as wen as have
an adequate supply of civilian clothes.
Living expenses aboard ship, includ-
ing mess bill, laundry and incidentals,
amounts to at least $50 a month.
During his probationary period he will
be aboard cruising vessel Of the active
fleet, often operating outside the CONT
mental limits of the United States, where
it would be impracticable for brides to
follow.
Net only must the young officer adapt
himself to the life and duties of naval
officer, but he must observe the outside
world and living conditions
MldShipmen at graduation are younger
than the average college graduate and
have less worldly experience, due to the
rigorous and confining routine of the
Naval Academy
The young officer will have the regu-
lar hours aboard ship and duty re-
quirementS of older officers and, in ad-
dition, is expected to use much of
his spare time in familiarizing him
self with all departments of the ship
and to prepare himself properly for
the examination at the end of the two
year trial period
The young officer has no definite as
surance that he will be retained in
the service and any outside diversion
would be a decided handicap. in de-
tracing his time and attention from
life aboard ship.

A PPROXIMATELY $500 hungry
II Unemployed i W W were as,-'ss assured re- "a
4 \ Sunday feast, not the tradi-

en-, perhaps, but, nevertheless, a Sunday
feast for the hungry.
They are the members of the fam

the past week have been doing the
made work" on the city's parks, school
grounds, Fairgrounds and other public
places for their portion Of the $3.50, 900
unemployment relief fund voted the
District by Congress.
White and colored, some with little
toddling children at their heels or on
their shoulders, the 1,400 men this
morning streamed past the pay-of win
dow at the Municipal woodward, on
Sixth street near Constitution avenue,
each hand to be touched by the pencil
of Frank w. Holmes, payroll officer of
the District Employment Committee, as
they joyfully received their pay en-
velope. These contained, according to
the size of his family and the amount
OF work he has done this week, any
where from 81 to $ll.
Can swear to R0ll.
The pencil touching, done in lieu
Of pay roll signing, enables Holmes,
when the pay-off is finished. to sign
the pay roll himself and swear that

District Commissioner Luther H.

rector of Public Welfare George S.
Wilson were on hand to see the pay
off this morning and expressed salts
faction that the District is doing as
much as 1t is for the men who are
out of work and whose families are
in actual distress.
Mr.. Wilson explained the way the
work is apportioned.
I'VE figured" he said, 'ft would be
better to get some work done for the
money than to hand out the money.
So we make investigation of every man
applying for work and apportion time

work as the man with the large family.
Each man gets a work card from my
office and then Is assigned to a fore
man on some public project, such as
cleaning up the bonus camp, or the
Roosevelt High School grounds, and
there he works for the time allotted
him, getting in return a pay card
which is his identification at the pay
of window.
Our foremen tell us that we are
getting approximately IS per cent
actual work for the money we are
putting out. The rest. of course. is
direct relief, but that is better than
just handing out the money without
getting anything in return.
Great Majority Work Hard.
my Office is constantly besieged by
men, not asking for money, but just
for work cards.
"Of course, we don't get the. best
class Of labor. The best class is work
ing, and these men are those who were
first let off and haven't been able to
find anything to do to take care Of
their families. I don't deny that some
getting paid for work they did not
actually do, but the great majority are
conscientiously doing their work to earn
bread and meat to feed their families" +"
This week, more than $1,000 was
disbursed at the woodward. The
great group of men was herded into a
large "bullpen" fenced of from the dis
bursting office. At gate in the bull
pen," one of the disbursing clerks, with
a list of the men to be paid, called them
out of the "bullpen" and lined them
up at the pay-of window. There. with
a duplicate list, the pay-off was accom-
plished, and each man, with smile,
passed out through another gate and
off to market to buy provender for the
wife and youngsters.
Last week there were 500 men who
received more than $1,000. Next week
there will be another large group, and

TWO GIRLS FINED
FOR RED PROTEST
$40 Assessed on DisorderIy
Conduct and Speech-Ma
ing Charges.

Fines Of $40 each were imposed In
Police Court today on two 18-year-old
girl members CT the Young Communists
League who were arrested last night at
Fourth and N streets during a meeting
said to have been called to protest the
indictment of number of colored men
for beating to death a policeman in
Logan Circle recently.
Florence Playton was convicted on a
charge Of disorderly conduct and Sylvia
Roth was convicted on a charge of
speaking without permit. Judge Ralph
Given dismissed a charge of making a
speech without permit against the
Playton girl and charge of disorderly
conduct against Miss Roth.
Charge Discrimination.
Defense Attorneys Samuel Levine
and Sol Rothbard noted an appeal and
announced they planned to take the
case to a higher court to test the
constitutionality of the police regula-
ton forbidding public speaking with
out a permit Levine said the police
department was discriminating against
certain classes and suppressing the
right of free speech in issuing the
permits to favored speakers, while
denying them to others
Miss Roth was arrested about 1880
pm. when she was lifted onto the
shoulders of several colored persons
and began a speech to several hun
dred persons who had collected at the
corner. Miss Roth told the court she
had gone there to deliver a speech
protesting the imprisonment of the col
ored men charged with the murder of
Park Policeman Milo J. Kennedy. The
officer was beaten to death by mob
of colored people which fell upon him
in Logan Circle last month.
Miss Roth declared in court that
the colored prisoners had been framed
and should be liberated.
Seek Bond for Girls.
Miss Playton was taken into custody
by police when she followed in the
crowd as the officers were escorting
Miss Roth to the station house. The
court held that this constituted dis
orderly conduct in inciting the crowd
against the arresting officers.
Other spokesmen for the league de-
clared the meeting was called to cele-
brate International Youth Day and
that the Logan Circle matter was only
secondary. They said a meeting to
protest the conviction of the girls would
be called tonight at the league head
quarters, 1887 Seventh street.
Attorneys were attempting to arrange
bond for the two girls today, pending
the appeal.
