ADDED LEAVES
FORCED UPON
j. s. WORKERS
$500 Employees in 4 Bureaus
Must Take Extra Time
Off After Jan. |

Indications that about $500
employees in four bureaus of
the Department of Commerce
will get an administrative fur
lough of from 10 to 20 days
after January l, in addition to
their compulsory 80 days legis-
lative furlOugh.
1t is unlikely, however, that
any of the employees will be dis
missed outright, since the Econ,
omy Act provides that the full
years salary of any discharged
employe must be taken from the
departments appropriations and
impounded in the Treasury.
The probability looms, it was
said, that an unstated number of
employees from each of the four
offices will get an indefinite fur
Tough, which may extend six
months. The Bureau Of Standards
is especially hard hit in reduced
appropriations, and some time
ago announced that lengthy ad-
miniStrative furloughS were in
evitable for many workers.

RIVALS BATTLE
FOR THE SAME
PRINCIPLES
Strengthen Lines to Carry
Fight Before Congress When
New Session Opens Here

With both of the federatiOns
of Government workers declar-
ing war this week on the "in-
equitable provisions" Congress
laid on the backs Of Federal
employees in the name of econ
omy, the coming short session
of Congress, beginning in De-
cember, is expected to witness
one of the sharpest concen-
trated battles in many years.
Although already bitter rivals,
and with officers of each chal-
1enging the fairness or integrity
of the other, the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees and
the new American Federation of
Government Employees are seek
ing the same general objectives.
Have Identical Aims
Their very rivalry is expected
to add zeSt to their protest
against the Economy Act, while
the nearly identical nature Of
their aims is counted on to fur
ther impress legislators.
The National Federation, one
of whose locals here alone hav-
ing nearly 1000 members, hiterto
has led a strong and invariably
successful lobbying campaign for
measures favoring Government
workers.
Both Hit "UnfairneSS"
National officers of both or
ganizationS, in public statements
this week, have condemned the
"unfairness" of saddling the bulk
Of governmental economy upon
employees.

shock.
Questioned about an abandoned
baby found Thursday night on
the porch of Edward B. Webb, in
the 1900 block of Davenport St.
N. W., the woman screamed it
was her baby. She continually
screams "I've lost my baby" The

Washington police today inten,
sified their search for George
Crawford, indicted slayer of Mrs.
Spencer Ilsley, wealthy society
widow of Washington and Mil
waukee, and her elderly white
maid, Mrs. Anna Buckner, of
Rockville, Md.
Mrs. Ilsley and Mrs. Buckner
were found slain in the tenant
cottage of the Ilsley estate on the
morning of January 13. Both
had been beaten to death.
The search for Crawford was
started anew today when James
J. Williams, colored deputy Sher-
iff of Loudoun vounty, Virginia,
reported to police that Crawford
and three other colored men held
him up last night. Williams said
he came here to arrest Crawford
for the double murder, but that
he was assailed when he entered
the mans hangout in the first
block of F. St. N. w. Williams
said his pistol, deputy sheriff's
commission and SO were taken
from him.

On Saturday, September 3, the

York City Club with friends and
announced he was leaving for

That was the last time he was

tried everything and nothing had
any lasting results. Very reluc-
family tried your 'ALL-BRAN' with
no faith in it at all. Much to my

Laboratory tests show ALI-BRAN
contains two things which OVER
come constipation: "Bulk" to ex-
ercise the intestines; vitamin B to
help tone the intestinal tract.
The sbulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that of leafy vegetables. In
side the body, it forms a soft mass,
which gently clears the intestines
Of wastes.
Certainly this is more natural
than taking patent medicines
often harmful. Two tablespoonfuls
daily are usually sufficient. If not
relieved this way, see your doctor.

Editor, Tribune:
I was Of the Democratic trend of
mind until this very evening, do
not know why, but I presume it was
because I have been like so many
other foolish Americans and be-
lieved a lot of ballyhoo which the
Democrats and Progressive Repub-
licans (traitors) padded out through
the use of newspapers and radio.
Those was something which struck
me as mighty unethical. With six
days q week in which to pour out
their pleadings, lies, SANDER, ETC.
it Is q mighty small party who will
stoop to make use of the radio on
Sunday evening when people would
like and are entitled to an evening of
respite and entertainment. The New
Mexico traitor as well as Lanier
caused my opinion Of the Democra-
tic party to collapse entirely through
their speeches.
When q party finds It necessary to
descrate the Sabbath with political
pollution, then it Is time to change
ones mind in ones support of that
party. Men of that caliber cannot
guide q government in the channels
Of Righteousness. They haven't the
God respect which is demanded of
real leaders.
My respects to the Republican par
ty-may they prosper and succeed
and rule this fair land of ours.

so desires.
I'd. Another forcing bid is the
bidding of an opponents suit. For
example, the original bidder opens
with one heart, second hand bids two
clubs and the partner of the original
bidder now bids three clubs. This
bid of three clubs is known as a cue
bid and

that partners hand contains no los

Therefore. it should not be made

strong hand 1t must have either
great high card strength or strong

However, there is one time when
the bidding of an opponents suit is
not treated as force, and this
should not be confused with the
above described cue bid.
If the original bidder opens the
bidding, your partner has not made
a bid and you, not having previous
ly bid or passed. now overcall the
original bidders suit with the same
suit, this bid is made to protect
against psychic bids-especially third
hand psychics-and is not a cue bid.
For example: the dealer passes,
your partner in second hand passes.
third hand now opens with one
spade. You have not previously bid
or passed and you now overcall this
opponents suit with bid of two
spades.
This is not forcing bid-it SIM
ply shows hand about equal to an
original bid with good spade suit.
If you wished to force, you would
double the bid of one spade and then,
on the second round of bidding,
would show your spade suit.

1t is not generally advisable to
invite slam in the responding hand
without absolute command of two
suits; i. e., you must bid in a posi-
ton to win the first trick of two
suits.
The original bidder should not in
vite a slam without command Of
three suits unless he receives strong
constructive bidding from partner.
After a major suit has been set by
two partners, and a slam invited, the
showing of other suits should then
be construed to be the showing of
aces or void suits; e. g., one heart,
four hearts-a slam invitation. A
bid of five clubs by partner now ac-
ceptS the slam invitation and shows
control of the club suit.
There are a few hands in contract
where ace showing is necessary for
slam bidding. However. they are in
the minority, and it is better to ar
