WOMEN WORRY
MOSTLY OVER
THEIR JOBS
Employment Not Related to
Their Marital Status,
Survey Shows

Whatever effect efficiency
ratings, with accompanying
competition for high marks,
has upon women in the Federal
service, a survey among work
ing women in a typical fac
tory, as to their favorable or
unfavorable regard for their
tasks, resulted in this finding {:
Unexpectedly, efficiency rat
ings Of employees showed no re-
lationShip to their attitudes.
With the annual marking up"
of all Federal employees by their
department superiors for Personnel
Classification Board records due
to end this week, this survey
of employee attitudes in a mod
ern industrial plant is consid-
cred Of particular interest in the
departments.
Has No Relation
The survey was made by Uni
versity of Chicago research work
ers, and is chronicled by the
Women's Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor. A further find
ing about the employed women
was that mo correlation existed
between work attitude scores and
intelligence, age, schooling, and
marital status"
Another feature of the find
ings, which is also reflected in
Federal departments, was that
more Of the women were worry
ing about losing their jobs than
about any other one thing. Diff.
ficult home conditions, including
domestic riffs, also cause much
relentlessneSs Of employed wom-
en-, with consequent inefficiency
and unhappiness at work, the
survey revealed.

The fact that monotonouS, rou-
tine jobs bore women employees,
affecting their attitudes and the
quality Of the work done itself,
were also cited IN the report,
which added:
"Where there is little trust
or good will, however; where
negative feelings have devel-
Oped because of insecurity, in

ton in work; then almost any

CHAMBER
Attack on Pay Cut Plan Made
BY A. F. of L. Head at SEES
sion of Capital Trade Group

Indicating something of the
unsettling effect a Federal
salary cut would have upon
Washington business men,
President William Green, of
the American Federation of
Labor told the Washington
Chamber of Commerce last
night the already limited
standard Of living of Govern
ment here will be sacrificed
if one-tenth of their income is
taken from them.
Pointing out that 81 per cent
Of citizens pay no Federal in

er or farmer through economies
effected, Green called Govern.
ment workers VIGOROUSLY under
paid" and urged opposition to
the movement by his audience.
Social distress would prevail"
as q result of wage cuts, and
Washington's general business
conditions would suffer in such
a curtailment of purchases re.
sulting from a salary cut. he
said.
He continued:
ut is astonishing to note
that in the three-fOurths of q
million civil employees Of the
Government, only three in 500
receive $4,000 or more. About
one in six receives less than
81, 900, and three out Of four
receive less than $780,"
~ at will be necessary to
draw the reduction from those
least able to pay it. A 10
per cent cut will reduce the
civil payroll about one and
SOne-haf per cent, and will re-
duce the total expenditures
only about one-third of one
per cent"

The emergency fund, proposed

"ThiS kidnapping case was
prepared a year ago already,
so the police will have no
look in searching for us and
the baby. The baby is well.
Tell Mr.. Lindbergh his search
for the baby will do no good"
Following receipt of this letter
DR.. Condor inserted an adver
tisement acknowledging receipt
of the sleeping garment and
appealing to the kidnapers tt
understand" his position.
Other Ads Printed
No response was received
Other ads were published and
finally this one:
Money is ready. Furnish
simple code for us to use in
paper-Ja1Sle.
A reply came. It was:
There is no use to furnish
you with a code. You know
our program. There is no use
to delay. If you don't give
us the money by 9Th OF April
we will add $4,000 and Mr..
Lindbergh will have to pay
100000, not $4,000.
I'VE will keep the baby in
our save phase. Mr.. Lindbergh
is foolish to follow those
false clues. He knows who is
the right party and can tell
by our SIGNATURE which is the
same on the first ransom note.
Mr.. Lindbergh does not have
to worry about the baby. The
child is safe"
The false "clues" apparently
referred to the negotiations be.
ing carried on by others around
Norfolk.
Was No Alternative
The letter was a plain ulti.

ment as the only hope. Mrs,
Lindbergh agreed with him. Col.
onel Lindbergh agreed.
At DR.. Condon's home the
father signed the following au
thorization:
II hereby authorize DIR. John
#. Condor to deliver the sum
Of $4,000 to whOmSOever in
his judgment he believes to be
the |kidnaperS Of my SON."
And so it was agreed and done
When he met the emisSary, DR.
Condor said:
"The reason why there was
SO much delay in obtaining the
money is because Colonel Lind.
bergh isn't as wealthy as he is
supposed to be-"
The emissary was nervous, His
one thought was to get the money
and then be off. He blurted out;
"All right, Wen be satisfied
with S50,00O."
DR.. Condor replied:
I'll get the money for you
right away. Wait"
Returned with $4,000
He returned to the machine
where Colonel Lindbergh was
waiting with $4,000 in a box
Twenty thousand was hurriedly
removed. DR.. Condor returned
to the cemetery with $4,000.
The man took the money anc
told Condor the baby would be
found aboard the yacht Nellie of
Martha's Vineyard.
A fruitleSs search followed. AL
