Endless skies above, snarling

those. Loneliness of the un-

daunted him. But, with the

BURKE AWAITING
SHIFT REASON
MRS. BERGNER

Inspector Frank S. w. Burke,
assistant superintendent in charge
of the detective bureau, will ap-
pear before the District Com
missioners tomorrow at 2:30 at a
hearing which is expected to de-
termine whether he will be al
lowed to remain in his present
position or be transferred to full
fill the recommendation Of Brig,
Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, Police
Superintendent.
Burke today said that he did
not know what his attitude would
be in regard to GlaSsford's recon-
mendation, as he had not been
officially notified what Glass
ford's reasons are for recon-
mending his transfer.
Glassford's recommendation for
Burke's transfer was one of the
major moves in his attempt to
shake up the higher offices Of
the police department. He gave
Burke "a hours to choose between
retirement for physical disability
or accept demotion. Burke chose
the former alternative but when
he went before the retiring board
he was refused retirement as the
police board of surgeons found
him physically able to carry on
his duties.
GlaSsford then appealed to the
Commissioner to approve Burke'S
reassignment to make way for
Capt. Edward j. Kelly whom
Glassford is seeking to have
placed in charge of the detective
bureau.

BROWN INSISTS
P. j. c. ORDER
Be ENFORCED
Yellow Cab Manager Writes
Mcbride for Information
on Delayed Subject

An attempt to have the
P u blic Utilities Commission
order, compelling taxicabs to
operate on the meter system,
enforced despite prohibition i'll
the current appropriation act,
was forecast today as the result
of letters received by the Dis
trict Commissioners, the Utili-
ties Commission and Corpora
ton Counsel William w. Bride.
Written by William j. Brown,
general manager of the Black
and White and Yellow Cab Com
pany, the letters informed the
officials that the commissions
order had been upheld in the
District Supreme Court and in
quired what, if anything, the
officials plan to do toward en-
forcing it.
Funds Are Denied
Corporation Counsel Bride said
today that there was nothing
the commission or the commits
sioners could do to enforce the
order. He pointed out that the
current appropriation act pro-
vides that none of District funds
shall be used in connection with
"the preparation, issuance, pub
lication or enforcement of any
regulation or order of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission requir-
ing installation of meters on
taxi cabs
Mr.. Bride also pointed out that
an appeal from the commissions
order. which the commission won
in the District Supreme Court, is
still pending in the District Court
of Appeals.
Mandamus Looms
The District Supreme Court up
held the commission last March
%. The commission amended the
original meter order delaying en-
forcement until so days after the
date of the District Supreme Court
decision which has now lapSed.
AS a result of the letters writ
ten by Mr.. Brown, it is believed
that an attempt to enforce the
order will be made through man
damus proceedings in the District
Supreme Court. The order fixes
a rate of Is cents for the first
two miles on a travel meter basis.

Fraud, Says Labor Chieftain,
Brought Cessation; Sees
Further Fight Ahead

Declaring that the with
drawal of the National Fedora.
ton of Federal Employees from
the American Federation OF
Labor had been brought about
t h Ou g h misrepresentation
and fraud. =" William Green
president of the latter organi.
zation, today threw down the
gauntlet to all Federal EN-.
ployes.
Addressing the first convention
of the American Federation OF
Government Employees at the
Hamilton Hotel, the labor chief
went into a history of the seces
sion of the aNtional Federation
pledged his organizations support
to the new body, outlined things
organized labor has done for Fed
eral employees and hopes to do
and declared:
"The fact that the old Organi-
ZatiOn withdrew from the Amer.
ican Federation of Labor does
not prevent the individual EN-.
plOyeS from allying with you.
Here is their home.
PROMISES HELP
''If they don't want to come
in let them learn by bitter ex.
perience the folly of their
action.
II Interpret the action of
those who stay out as meaning
that they do not need the sup
port of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. And I say TO
them, If you want our help
come in, if you do not stay
out"
President Green declared thai
the Aermican Federation is tho
only voice through which Fedora
employees can speak to Congress
And noutlining things which
the organization has done for the
Government workers he enumer
ated passage of Cogress of the
furlough plan instead of a hori
zontal wage reduction and the
Saturday half-holiday legislation
Sees Fight Ahead
The speaker declared that while
he was not a prophet he hac
reason to believe that the coming
session of Congress would seek
further to balance the budget
at the expense of the Federal
employe. He pledged support OF
his organization not only to fight
such step, but to fight harder
for restoration of the things
taken away b ythe economy legis
lation.
President Green said that the
National Federation allegedlJ
withdrew because the Federation
of Labor alleged opposed O. per
sonnet classification legislation.
He declared that the organiza
ton does not oppose personnel
classification, but had opposed a
bill which would work hardships
on per diem workers.
$4,000 by January
He declared he had done all
in his power to hold the suced.
ing organization in the Fedora,
ton of Labor, even humiliating
himself and accepting insults.
He urged the convention to
adopt a constitution which would
show it to be militant and
democratic organization, governed
from the bottom and not from
the top by dictator.
The Rev. Francis j. Hurney
opened the convention with an
invocation in which he prayed
divine guidance for the delegates.

Real Children.


~HIIDREN were intended to be
enjoyed. I am certain that
the Creator meant US to laugh
~ at them and with them. I am
certain, too, that he intended
the older folk to renew their youth IN
their children's childishness. He never
intended people to take children
solemnly, as duty, charge and
burden. The flavor OF life Is IN tne
reality of children. We lose 1t by
yeneerinR childhood with coat of
manner, an exterior Of conventionality,
an imitation Of maturity that Is any
thing but charming.
A little chap in the upper grades OF
the school wrote history OF George
Washington in the first person. Then
he and few chosen friends set 1t up
in book form in the shop. When the
work was finished he showed 1t to me.
I read the story and when next saw
him I said, Henry, that book Is fine
Henry looked at me with reservation
in his eye and with conviction In his
voice he said, 1T ought to be. I wrote
it myself
"Td like to have q copy Of it for the
library. What do you say?"
Fun danced in his eyes. Pride
fioated across his shining face. I'm
speechless," said he and the words
we're filled with the magic of the child
spirit.
Soon after I left him John came to
see me In the office. Don't you be-
lieve I hit Don first this noontime.
Don't you believe it. I never did. He
picked on me and he smacked me in
the jaw Then punched him IN the
eve. But don't you ever believe I hit
him first"
But the teacher says so. And Don
saws so. And 1t isn't the first time
nor the third time that I've been told
you punch on sight. Better go easy,
John. You can't go punching people
about the place. You know as well
as l do that Don isn't in your class.
And you're too old to behave like this,
anyway. Don"
But I didn't punch him first.
betcha a half buck ! didn't"
That was too much for me and
laughed outright. 1t took John an in
slant to come down to earth and then
he laughed too and said. I'll go put
nv arms around his neck and kiss
him If it will do any good, but you
know what he Is You can't take him
and you can't leave him.
Leave him. John. for my sake.

sure. But honest, didn't punch
him first this time"
No. it doesn't affect my authority mol

dren have for me. Not bit can
