Progress of Idea Noted This
Week at Session of En-
pIoyes; Plan Expansion

The overwhelming interest being
taken by members of Federal EN-.
ploye organizations in the hospital
guilds, which some of the groups
have formed and others are now
in process of forming, was re-
vealed this week at a meeting of
officers Of various employe organi
cations and guilds.
Officers of the various Federal
Employees Union Locals, represen.
tatives Of the National Federation
of Federal Employees, and of guilds
now being mapped, attended and
heard the progress of the guild

Four Strong Guilds
Locals No. 2. 1O5, 261 and 262,
representing respectively the De
partmental group as a whole, the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing,
War Department, and Treasury,
already have strong hospital
guilds.
The principle is that any mem
Der Of Federal Employees Union
may join the guild, by paying a
special fee, and thus be entitled
to hospital benefits in case Of sick

ANNUAL DINNER
FOR BAR FEB. Z

Legislation pertaining to Gov.
eminent employees and working
conditions governing those on
Uncle Sans payroll will be chief
topics OF discussion at the annual
dinner of the Federal Bar Associa-
ton at the Mayflower February 2.
President Martin, Of the Amer
ican Bar Association, and Senator
Porter H. Dale Of Vermont, chair
man of the Senate Civil Service
Committee, will be among the not
able speakers. Judging by previous
annual dinners, the speakers list
will include some Of the most i'm
pressive names of the bar, judic-
iary and Government, and the
speeches will be equally note
worthy.
The Federal Bar Association,
comprising law-trained men and
women in the Government de-
partmentS, has had an unusually
active, fruitful year. Its monthly
meetings have been devoted to
scholarly discussions of legal and
personnel matters of interest to
Federal workers, while the
speakers at those gatherings have
invariably been ranking leaders
of the profession here and else
where.
The executive council, as well
as President William r. Valance,
has prepared considerable data
about legal and personnel in
terests of Government workers,
and presented this information
to the Congressional committees,
particularly the Senate Economy
Committee, engaged in mapping
legislation and allotting appro-
priations. This work will be re-
viewed at the annual dinner, and
future plans outlined.

RIFT Of unions
STILL WIDE

The success of the American
Federation of Labor and its af-
filiated organizations in fighting
further handicaps on Federal en-
ployes, is proving a membership
lure to all Government workers,
including the rival federation
which withdrew from A. F. Of L.
affiliation last year, according to
editorial comment Of the Ameri,
can Federation of Government
Employees this week.
The seeding National Fedora.
ton Of Federal Employees will re-
turn sooner or later" to the old
affiliation, declares the Ameri.
can Federation's bulletin, which
adds: ~.-a
1T must be difficult for a
legislator particularly to under.
stand why so many Federal en-
plOyes should wish to remain
alOOf from the great mass of
workers, when they must realize
that civil service employees too
often are the target for mis-
representation and victims of
gestures designed to impress
rather than to produce sound
results"
The two rival groups have com.
peted bitterly for leadership, and
today apparently are farther
apart in spirit than ever despite
their almost identical programs.
The National Federation officials
have given no indication of ever
returning to the A. F.. Of L. affil-
iation.
