j. s. EMPLOYEES
! ARM To RESIST
WAGE CUTS
Federal Workers Championed
by Several Measures of
Importance

With the attention Of wor-
ried Government employees cen
tered on salary reduction bills
in Congress, and with most
members Of both houses hav-
ing spent the holidays in their
districts building up political
fences, the beginning of the
coming week finds the mill on
Capitol Hill just now ready to
grind in earnest on legislative
matters.
Except for a few formal state
ments issued, pro and con, on
the matter of wage slashes to
help reduce the national deficit,
little definite work was done by
the legislators this week. Lobby
lists, however, remained busy, and
representatives and organized
Government workers cleared decks
for a long siege of committee
rooms.
January 8 Farley Vital
The real legislative battle plans
OF the National Federation of
Federal Employees will be mapped
out here January 8. when the
entire executive council gathers
for a war-talk. All the national
vice presidents and the national
president and secretary, will de-
eide on a course of action to
promote bills in their favor and
to oppose others.
The federation IS pushing sew
eral bills, sponsored by friends.
The classification of all field en-
ployes is asked by bill of Rep
resentative Frederick R. Lehlbach
CH. R. 6489). and this is a
favored objective of the fedora
tion. Other bills sponsored by
the federation include:
H. R. 1925, Representative
Sirovich. granting optional retire
ment after 80 years.
H. r. 349, Representative La
Guardia, same, with other fea-
lures.
A bill for compulsory leave
IinStead of arbitrarily granted
leave as now, introduced by
Representative Smith, of Idaho.
Fighting the bills for reducing
pay OF all Federal employees (and
several of such bills are now be-
fore Congress) will be concen-
trated as the committees resume
sessions next week and take up
these proposals.
Present Status
The status of the Salary-reduc-
tion question as the week ends is
this:
Senator Borah, who spoke for
q 20 per cent slash of salaries
over $4,000, seems a little less
sure that he will ask this large
cut. Representative Frederick r.
Lehlbach and Representative La
mar Jeffers (the latter chair
man of the House Civil Service
Committee) insist they will not
let the bills be reported out of COM
mittee of the HoUSt.

EXPERT To SIT
WITH HOOVER,
ROOSEVELT
Prof. MoIey, Special Adviser

Farley on Debt Issue

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 18 (INS1
When Governor Roosevelt, Presi-
dent-elect, goes to the White
House next Tuesday to confer
with President Hoover on inter
national debts, he will be accom-
panied by a professor and not a
politician.
Gust breaking another prece-
dent"
That's what Governor Roose-
velt said, in announcing he had
invited Prof. Raymond Moley, of
Columbia University, to act as his
advisor.
Prof. Moley is head Of the pub
lie law department at Columbia
and is 46 years old. He once was
school teacher in Ohio. He
acted as advisor to former Gov
ernor AL Smith on several occa-
sions in the 1928 Presidential
campaign.
Fright Hand Man"
He was Governor Roosevelt's
fright hand man" during the le-
cent campaign, accompanying him
on his nationwide tour and aid
ing him in the preparation Of all
his speeches.
Prof. Moley sat by Governor
RooSevelt's bed earlier this week
when the governor penued his
telegram to the President in ac-
cepting the invitation to confer
at the White House.
Prof. Moley has been mentioned
as a possible appointment to the
Roosevelt Cabinet as Attorney
General, but his friends have in
dicated he would prefer to remain
in an advisory capacity 10 the'n next
President.
In his invitation to Governor
Roosevelt, the President explained
that it would be agreeable to him
if the Governor desired to bring
with him the Democratic leaders
of Congress and any of his per-
sonal advisors.
''WhOlly Informal
In accepting the invitation, the
Governor said, however, that he
preferred to have the conference
wholly informal and personal"
Governor Roosevelt's visit to the
White House will be the first real
he has had with Presi-
dent Hoover since the days when
both served in the administration
of President Wilson. At that time
Mr.. Roosevelt as Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy and Mr.. Hoo
yer was food administration, and
they enjoyed frequent social con-
facts.
While President-elect Roosevelt
has made it plain that he con-
siders the responsibility for any
decisions on war debts
rests on the shoulders Of PreSi-
dent Hoover and the present Con
gress, it is understood he will
not hesitate to voice his opposi-

it made such a report that Jerry

II T is true. Old Mother Nature knows
the needs of each, ana each is pro-
vided with something especially
L suited to those needs, something
which perhaps no one else has. If
you envy others what they possess you
may be sure that some one envieS you
what you possess. And it is more than
likely that the thing you envy some
one else wouldn't do for you at all.
Jerry Muskrat, who was making his
first visit to the pond of Paddy the
Beaver deep in the Green Forest, and
so seeing Paddy and Mrs. Paddy for
the first time, couldn't keep his eyes
from their tails as they sat on the roof
Of their house. Never had he seen such
tails. Never had he dreamed that any
one could have such tails. Paddy'S was
a little the biggest, but then Paddy was
little the biggest.
AS he sat there next to Jerry that
tail was right in front of Jerry. Some

this was because it was so unlike any
other tail that Jerry ever had seen. 1t

It is to be expected that containers and
the labor of putting ingredients, ETC.,
into them will, and should, cost some
thing. Nor is it suggested that this is
not perfectly right and legitimate.
Firms have to make this outlay, and
customers should not object to paying
something extra when they buy package
goods.
The .homemaker who believes it wise
for her purse to buy in bulk has the op-
portunitys to do so with large number
of articles. And it is for her to con-
slider the points in favor of such
method. One thing Is that she has her
own containers. Each article goes into its
proper one when it reaches the kitchen.
1t frequently happens that a closet is
burdened with two containers of exactly
the same thing when a fresh supply is
received. In order not to get out of
the article it must be ordered. For a
time, two packages must find space for
themselves on the shelves. The full
container will hold no more and the
other cannot be discarded. So if you
must buy In bulk. realize the value of
the extra shelf space
Buying in bulk requires that care
should be taken to handle containers
carefully when the breakable food is
wrapped. Crackers, when put into
bags carefully and when the parcel is
handled with equal deftness and emp

quently have no more broken ones
among them than if bought in pack
ages. A carton of package crackers can
be badly broken If jounced about on
the way to its destination or If tossed
down on a table or counter.
When buying containers for articles
bought in bulk, be sure to get those
which are big enough. Remember
there is always or should be a residue
which will take up some room in the
container before the new ingredient is
put in. 1t is bothersome to have small
quantities which cannot get in and
which must be slowed away in the bags
or papers in which they came. and give
a clHttered look to the shelves.
An advantage in getting food in
packages is the little handling it gets
before 1t reaches the consumer. Foods
are carefully packed and, when care
fully handled, they reach the consumer
in excellent condition.
