UNIONS
ADDING NEW
MEMBERS.
Both Federations Report Rapid
Growth; Hope of Merging
Groups Is Dim

Organization Of Federal en-
ployes is being undertaken on q
national scale by both federationS
of government workers, and both
groups report considerable success.
Although the prospect for union
of the organizations seems dim,
the likelihood is strong that a
large number of government
workers as yet unorganized will be
lined up with one or the other in
the near future.
Gains are General
The National Federation of
Federal Employees is devoting par
ticular attention to the member
ship and organization campaign
of the District of Columbia Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees
Unions, and it is reported that
virtually every local union in the
District of Columbia is showing a
membership gain as a direct re-
suit of the campaign. Further,
renewed interest in the work of
local unions is said to be notice
able.
Members of local unions are be-
ing urged to assist in the cam
paign for the District Federation.
New Lodges Formed
The American Federation Of
Government Employees has been
equally active, and reports impress
Sive gains both locally and in the
field. There has been a consider
able spur to organization under
the new executive leadership, and

FURLOUGHS END
AND RESTORED
PAY SOUGHT
Legislators to Have No Basis
For Refusing Action Because
Of Divided Opinion
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Although the National Fedora.
ton of Federal Employees and the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees are apparently in
no mood to compose their differ
enceS, the legislative programs
they will advance at the coming
session of Congress are, in major
respects, practically identical, and
in consequence there should be no
confusion on the part of members
Of either house as to the vital de-
mands of Government workers.
Restoration of pay is vital
item in both programs, and so,
too, is the principle of extending
and preserving the merit system
to include all Government posi-
tions.
FurIOugh Scheme Hit
Opposition to pay cuts in any
form, furloughS, slashed appropria-
tions, and abolition of necessary
Federal functions are fundamental
in the plans Of both federations.
Both, too, hold that Uncle Sam
as employer should set an example
to private industry by taking the
lead in increasing wages and re-
ducing hours of labor. The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, with
which the A. F.. G. E. is affiliated,
has promised full support to all
these items, and has even gone
farther than the Federal employees
organizations themselves by advo-
eating 30-hour week in the Gov
ernment service.
Establishment of a central per-
Sonnel agency is desired by both
organizations, and both want
restoration Of former leave privi-
leges, fair adjustments Of annual
and sick leave throughout the
service, maintenance of high
standards of research in The Gov
ernment service, and repeal of
the married persons clause of
the economy act.
There is practically 100 per
cent unanimity on the major
items affecting large groups Of
Federal employees, or all employees
In the service, and even on the
minor matters there ere appar-
emily no conflicts of Importance.
The legislative programs Of the
two organizations naturally do
not agree in all respects but this
is mainly because some matters
are included in each that do not
appear in the other
No Conflicts Seen
Where both orga hizations pre-
sent views on the Wame problem,
those views are sufficiently uni
form so that there will be no op-
portunity for Members Of Con-
gress to raise the point that Fed
eral employees are divided as to
what they want and are present
ing conflicting programs.
Consequently, whatever efforts
are made by either organization
should serve to benefit the Fed
eral employees, and the influence
of the American Federation of
Labor also will be exerted in their
behalf, according to pledges of
President William Green and the
executive council, and to resolu-
tions adopted by the convention
here.

TRAFFIC DEATHS
GUT ONE-TH|RD

Traffic fatalities in Washington
showed a decrease of approx
mately one-third during the first
five months of this year as com.
pared with the same period OF
1882, Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer reported today.
Between January l and June l
of this year there were 80 deaths
due to traffic accidents here,
while for the same period of last
year the figure was Sc, Mr.. Van
Duzer said.
The traffic director believes the
decrease in fatalities is largely
due to the mechanical inspection
of cars which is now required. At
present no title will be issued for
an automobile until the machine
has passed an inspection by the
traffic department.
Mr.. Van Duzer cites in support
of his belief the fact that less
than half of the machines in
spected are found to be in proper
mechanical condition.

PATROL, WAGON
SLEEPER FINED

Wilton G.. Burnett, 35, colored,
200 block D st. N. W., today
knows it doesn't pay to go to
sleep in a patrol wagon.
Last night Burnett jumped
from the water wagon and after
taking a few drinks, began
wandering about. He became
trifle sleepy, and seeing patrol
wagon in front of police head
quarters, he crawled in.
When Policeman c. L. Hayden,
of the Ninth precinct, returned
to the patrol wagon, he saw
Burnett inside asleep. The officer
then simply started the machine
and took Burnett to the station.
Judge Gus A. Schuldt today
sentenced Burnett to pay a fine
of SO or serve 10 days in Jail.

SENATE LABORS
OUTLINED

Although the echoes of the first

Senate chamber, a new calendar OF
business for the second session,
which convenes January 3, was
published today.
Under the direction of Edwin A..
Halsey, Senate secretary, the Off

in the extraordinary session was
printed bearing the notification
that when the Senate convenes in
January the unfinished business
will be a House bill to authorize
the appointment of a governor Of
Hawaii without regard to his being
a citizen or resident of the ter
ritory.
Discussion of this bill in the
closing hours of the extra session
led to charges by Senator Arthur
Vandenberg (RO of Michigan that
Administration "dispensers of pat
ronage" were planning to put
"carpet-baggers" in choice District
positions.

On Censorship

The Council of the Authors League has passed
luton which will bear quoting Resolved that inasmuch
the experience of centuries both in America and in
Europe has proved that all forms of censorship nm
ca to progress and to the free expression and develop

America protests the efforts of the Society for the Sup
preston of Vice to suppress under the guise of legal
prosecutions books by reputable authors bearing the i'm

Neither in Europe nor America in this century any
other have had experience of one kind of
