giant in the chest and he went down. Tessie
fed into the store.
That might have ended the trouble If Joe
flanagan had not had red hair, but he did
have the reddest hair that ever grew on . wild
hishmans head and he leaped for the prss-
trate giant grasping one of the bottles Of beer.
He broke that over the matted head Of the
fallen man, and before the glass had stopped

In the harvest fields; in Winter they felled the

FIGHTS DISMISSAL
Of WORKING WIVES
Woman's Party Delegation
Will Submit Appeal 10
Budget Director.

The fight to save jobs of married
| women in the Government service will
| be carried to Director of the Budget
| Lewis H. Douglas. Saturday afternoon
A delegation of National Woman's
Party officers, led by Mrs. Florence
Bayard Hilles of Delaware, national
chairman of the party will confer with
| Director Douglas on behalf of the mar
| ried women threatened with dismissal
under the economy act.
l. From Miss Frances Perkins, Secre-
tary of Labor the Woman's Party has
received assurances that she personally
favors no discrimination against mar
ried women. But Miss Perkins referred
the delegation to Director Douglas.
Miss Perkins Gives Views.
Miss Perkins viewpoint was outlined
new economy act did not re-enact sec
ton 213 of the old economy act But,
she added, there appears to be some
confusion of opinion as to whether
or not section 213 is permanent and
may be used if necessary. I sincerely
hope it is not permanent" she said,
land that it will not be used. 1t is
my definite belief that in the laying
off of Government employees the only
tests applied should be those of eff
cheney and the good of the service, with
some consideration of the individuals
extreme need, and do not think that
any one classification of workers should
be selected to be laid off in advance
of others.
II hope that your position in the
matter will be sustained" she added"
and am in hearty sympathy with it"
Terms of Section 213.
Section 213 of the previous economy
bill provided that in laying off Fed
eral Government employees because of
the necessity of economy, where two
married persons worked for the Gov
eminent, one of them should be dis
missed before other dismissalS from
the service were made.
Miss Perkins further observed that
"it is your understanding and mine
also. that in the administration Of this
bill questionnaires were circulated among
women only, and that in effect those
laid of were practically always the
woman member of a marN,age relation
ship when two marrief persons were
employed"
Mrs. Hilles said, I'VE earnestly hope
that the new administration, which in
cludes SO many distinguished working
wives in official circles, will abandon
the policy of discriminating against
married women"

Waiter Dies as Hoover
and Capitalists Are
Dining at the Waldorf

NEW YORK.--As President Hoover
and his capitalist friends were gorg-
ing themselves at the Waldorf AS
toria dinner recently, one Of the
walters, Barney Briggs, died Of star
walton. Barney had been unem-
ployed for year and was weak from
undernourishment but the manage
ment kept him going hard beyond
the point Of endurance. OF course,
Barney was just an extra man for
that evening, SO the management was
out to get the full value of its
money.
The capitalist press gave the cause
for Barney's death as "the excite
ment of seeing Hoover" However,
considering the condition of Barney
and the fact that he and other wait
ers had to rush up and down two
long flights of stairs to the balcony,
it is quite obvious that he did not
die from the pleasure or excitement
Of the appearance Of Hoover.
