A.F.L. DENOUNCES
CIVIL SERVICE RULE
Calls Ban on Political ACtiv-
ity of U. S. Employees "ECo-
nomic Terrorism"

The American Federation of Labor
today charged the Civil Service Com
mission with economic terrorism" in
its recent order that Federal employees
must desist from political activity in
Arlington County, Va, and in other
sections.
The commissions rules are especially
sinister in connection with the drastic
pay cuts and other reactionary meas
ures which the present Congress voted
to impose on Federal employees" the
federation said.
The federation's statement added:
Under the Constitution Federal en-
ployes have the right to endeavor to
defeat in November election members
Of Congress who vote $4,000, ,000, 900
dole from Federal funds to banks and
other institutions in financial distress
and then slashed the pay of Govern
ment employees nearly S100,000,000 a
year on the pretext of necessity Of bal
ancing the budget.
Federal employees also have the
right, under the Constitution, to en-
deavor to elect members of Congress
who voted against Federal pay cuts and
interests of over half million Gov
ernment workers.
But the Civil Service Commission
announced that it will recommend dis
miSsal from the Government service of
all Government employees who assert
their political rights to oppose and at
tempt to persuade other citizens to op-
pose the reelection of age-slashing
Representatives and Senators and who
favor and attempt to get other citizens
to favor the election of Representatives
and Senators who voted against the
Federal pay cuts"
The commission several days ago
called attention to its rule No. l. which
forbids q civil service employe from
taking active part in a political cam
paign. Such action, 1t was said. would
cali for dismissal, whether taken in
dividually or as a member OF group.
"The threat OF dismissal" the fedora
tion's statement asserted, "is an eco
nomic terrorism utterly unworthy Of an
agency of the Federal Government. 1t
fiaunts the Declaration of Independ
ence. 1t nullifies rights set forth in
the Federal Constitution. It denies po-
litical liberty. 1t sets up in the Cap
ital of the United States a despotism
similar to the relationships imposed by
the government Of Soviet Russia and
Fascist italy.
THE United States Civil Service
Commission is not exempted from the
provisions Of the Federal Constitution
1t should abolish without delay this gag
on the constitutional rights of American
citizens who are employees Of the Gov
ernment"

ECONOMIC CRISIS
UPSET SIAM RULE
Court Extravaganza, Coupled
With Drastic Cuts, Blamed
for Revolt.

Kenneth Potter, American charge
daffaires at Bangkok, Siam, cabled
the State Department today that the
King had accepted the terms Of the
provisional government under which
he will head a constitutional mon
archy and that the acceptance was
enthusiastically received by the
public.
BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 25.AThe chief cause Of
the revolt at Bangkok, Siam, which
overthrew the absolute rule Of King
Prajadhipok and Queen Rambai yes
terday, was economic distress, reports
reaching here today said.
The King has been powerless to cope
with the economic crisis. Havas News
Agency report said, and he destroyed
his almost divine prestige by alternat-
ing between dictatorial and dilatory
methods and by consulting with his
subjects.
The report said there also had been
rumors of court extravaganza and NAL
administration Of public funds recently.
When the last budget failed to balance,
1t said, it was necessary to resort to
increased taxation and then to drastic
economies, which proved the last straw.
The newspaper LIE Matin heard that
a number Of army functionaries were
dismissed by the King last week as a
result Of the economy drive.
The King recently convoked a meet
ing of oficers Of the army in an at
tempt to justify the drastic cuts, and
the fact that he failed to placate the
officers was credited with being the rea-
son FOR the revolutionary conspiracy.
A Peoples party" was organized to
carry out the movement, information
reaching here indicated.
The financial situation has been so
desperate recently, the Havas Agency
said, that Sir Edward Cook. who has
been acting as financial adviser to the
King, notified the monarch he consid-
cred his presence in Bangkok no longer
necessary and that it would be useless
to replace him with another expert.
The Siamese legation here said today
the inability of the peasants to sell rice
and rubber was the chief cause of the
economic crisis. Furthermore, grave
export situation was caused by drastic
reduction of Chinese and Japanese i'm
ports of SiameSe rice. A sliding scale
salary reduction for government en-
ployes, put into effect six months ago,
wes a contributing cause to the unrest.
The legation officials said they had
received no oficial word from the cap
ital since the revolt began yesterday.
