FALSE ECONOMY
Federal Session at Kansas
City Adopts Resolutions on
Research Conditions.

Resolutions opposing false economy"
at the expense of Federal bureaus en-
gagged In scientific research and testing
will be presented at the annual con-
vention of the National Federation Of
Federal Employees September 4 at Kan
sas City, Mo-, it was announced today
by Luther c. Steward, president Of the
federation
In q statement, Steward said:
LAS a result of successive years Of
starving through steadily decreased
appropriations, various highly important
research units of the Federal Govern
ment have been severely handicapped
in their work These organizations in
years past have wrought nightly for
the public veal by perfecting processes,
testing materials. and generally speed
ing technical progress along many
lines
Every one Is familiar with the
splendid constructive tasks accom-
plished by the United States Bureau Of
Standards. The work of that bureau,
and Of other research agencies Of the
Federal Government, is being ham
strung through lack of sufdcient funds.
This does not simply mean that
many veteran employees, highly trained
and skilled, are being turned out; q
policy which is definitely out of har-
mony with the whole N. r. A. program.
It means further that the public IS
being denied the services performed In
its behalf by these bureaus; services
which In years past have resulted In
saving of millions Of dollars as well as
in the creation Of millions of dollars Of
new wealth.
IF the resolutions On this subject
are adopted, the National Federation Of
Federal Employees viii reafnrm its pod-
ton in strong opposition to this policy
Of obviously false economy"
With the opening date of the conven-
ton drawing near, representatives Of
the approximately 500 local unions of
the National Federation Of Federal En-
ployes are preparing to attend the ses-
sions. A tabulation by Secretary Treas
urer Gertrude M. McNaLS reveals that
q larger number of individual unions
will be represented than at any other
convention of the national federation.
The executive council of the national
federation will meet at Kansas City
on September 2. it was announced at
national headquarters here.

ROUGH BAY SCANNED
FOR CAPITAL YAWL
James W. Tull, Owner, Declares
He Has Faith in Friends Ability
to Weather Blow.

Coast Guard patrol boats today were
on the watch In the stormy waters Of
Chesapeake Bay for a number Of small
boats, among them the 24-foot auxiliary
yawl ~Malolo of James W. Tull, 1740
Euclid street, which was last reported
leaving st. Marys River at S pm. Sat-
urday.
No apprehension was felt for the
Malolo, which Is believed to have run
behind the islands Of Eastern Shore for
shelter until the storm blows out, it
was said, although Coast Guardsmen
were asked to keep an eye out for her.
"The Malolo's all right" Tul said
today. Three of my friends, all good
sailors, are aboard and the Malolo Is
built for much rougher water than this
storm has brought to the bay. They
have taken shelter behind the Eastern
Shore islands and will be out when
the seas die down"
Tull refused to divulge the names OF
his friends aboard the yawl, saying that
it would Unnecessarily worry their
families and friends and that there
isn't any question about their being al
right"
The Malolo, after q cruise up the
bay, Is to put In at West River, near
Annapolis, Tull said.

Importers Of brews today appealed
at. a hearing before the Tariff Commis-
sion for a so per cent slash in the tariff
on beer that would bring the duty down
to SO cents a gallon.
Coupled with an assertion that the
present tariff was "intolerable," the
commission heard pleas based also upon
taste and sentiment.
Harry s. Radcliffe, representing VIII
liam L. Howitz Co. Of New York, put
it this way:
"To one who has tasted Pilsen beer
in Bohemia, nothing else has the same
appeal"
He also described the sentimental
experience" of drinking beer at Heidel-
berg. Domestic brands, he added,
might well be preferred by those who
had not cultivated the foreign tang" :"

"In the four months. from April to
July" he said, 1854, 900 gallons out OF
q total of 2,232,000 gallons imported

He said that curiosity Of the Ameri-

the subject of foreign brands, and that
thereafter he bought according to his
pocketbook.
"If foreign costs were nothing at al.
a duty rate of even so cents would
still be excessive" he said. Domestic
beer In bottles does not cost more
than so cents q gallon"
George r. Beneman Of washington,

his clients, the American brewers.

Of PUBLIC RELIEF
v 0RK IN DISTRICT
Commissioners and Welfare
Board Studying Federal
Suggestions.
EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
WILL BE ABSORBED
Five Substations to Aid Jobless
Also Will Be Set Up
in City.

The District Commissioners and the
Board of Public Welfare today were
busy on plans for meeting suggestions
made by the Federal Relief Admins
tration for recognizing public relief
work here.
one of the first tasks is to absorb
the District Committee on Employment
into the Board of Public Welfare as
public agency. Its expenses have
hitherto been borne by the Community
Chest, which appropriated $4,000 for
its work, of which $4,000 had been
spent as of July /.
The Welfare Board also must de-
ccntralize its unemployment relief work
by setting up five relief Substat1ons IN
different parts of the city, so that 1t
will be unnecessary for all applicants
for relief to crowd into the single once
now maintained at John Marshall place
and c street It is understood one OF
these new stations will be the old Ban
neker School 1918 Third street An
other probably will be placed in the
neighborhood of Twenty-fourth street
and Pennsylvania avenue.
Based on Contributions.
The Federal Relief Administration S
interest In local relief is based on con-
trfbutions made to the District Tor un-
employment relief out OF the money
appropriated out of the Wagner relief
act, which appropriated $500 ,0O0, 900 Ior
unemployment relief on national scale.
The Federal administration already has
contributed $4,000 based on expendi-
tures of public money made by the Dis
trict in the first two quarters OF tne
present calendar year.
For the remaining two quarters, which
comprise the first half of the 1884 hscal
year, the District expects to spend ap-
proximately $780, 900 and $3.50 900, re-
spectiyely. The Federal contribution Is
based on one-third of the public funds
actually spent for relief.
In addition, the Commissioners are
planning to send forward request Tor
10000 for the relief Of destitute tran
sient persons in the District, to take
over as public charge work now done
out, of private funds by the Travellers
Aid Society and the Salvation Army.
The Federal administration has set
aside a fund of SIS, 600, 900 for transient
relief.
Keeping Within Budgets.
The private relief agencies here
which operate on funds provided by the
Community Chest are managing 10 keep
practically within their budgets and ex-
pect to do so for the balance OF Their
fiscal year, according to William j.
Flather, jr., treasurer Of the Community
Chest. He said that collections on
pledges this year are running about 4
per cent behind the record for collec-
tions at the same time last year. This
record. however, he expects will be bet
tered when the rev Hamilton Bank Is
opened and releases funds of contrib
utors now tied up.
The relief agencies belonging to the
Chest, however, have been able to stay
fairly close to their budgets only by
turning over to the public unemploy-
ment relief agency large number OF
their cases. These agencies include the
Associated Charities, the Catholic
Charities, the Salvation Army, the
Jewish Social Service Agency and the
Travellers Aid Society.

automobile at such q speed that those
who travelled with him were terrified.

into the car with his one-arm secretary
and when he arrived at the restaurant
he said he could not eat. He admitted
good -humoredly that the emotion of the
trip-Winslow was driving his car at
80 miles an hour-had given him such
q thrill that he had lost his appetite.
Winslow had tragic life. He mar
ried the daughter Of his chief, William
Castle, jr., and left the diplomatic
munerative profession In commercial
aviation as an oficial of the Pan-Amer-
ican Airline His father-in-law had
money and could have provided for his
daughter, since the salary OF foreign
service officer was inadequate. Win

earn his family's living.
But his wife died suddenly of pneu-
monia while Wtnslow was away from
home. He was so affected by his wife's
death that he had a stroke which para
lyzed his right leg.
After his wife's death Winslow lost
all interest in making money and re-
turned to the State Department.
In his spare moments he wrote an
extremely interesting book about his ex-
periences in the war. He died before
the book came out.
