ers brought into the new Division OF
Investigation Of the Department OF
Justice is ito clear the way for the

Federal News today called on tHe ad-
ministration to reconsider this move
The News. which is the official crgan
of the National Federation of Federal
Employees, adds that the only ground
for this action was political exped-
iency," and sees in it a tendency tc
weaken the whole merit system.
Whether or not the prohibition law
Is repealed, the publication says, vital
duties will continue to be carried out
by these workers.
The prohibition employees were taken
from civil service. it was explained by
officials, because the Bureau of Inves-
were merged, was a non-civil service
group.
Mitchelrs Action Praised.
Meanwhile. the report that a plan
for q court of appeals for Federal
workers had been drawn up by Presi-
dent Mitchell of the Civil Service
Commission and submitted to President
Roosevelt drew praise in a statement
on behalf of the American Federation
OF Government Employees.
The statement, by John P. Simpson,
president of the Civil Service Lodge of
the Federation, drew attention to the
fact this was one of the issues dis

ing dismissed Government workers was
taken up with President Roosevelt by
William Green, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor; Simpson and
John Arthur Shaw, president of the
Federation of Government Employees.
1t repeats the contention that such
tribunal is a necessity for adjusting
personnel rating disputes.
No Let-up in Enforcement.
That there will be no abatement of
prohibition enforcement so long as the
Volstead act exists, despite the dis
missal of 300 employees of the abolished
Prohibition Bureau, was made plain
yesterday by Postmaster General Far
ley and Attorney General Cummings.
The latter disclosed that 200 more
than the reported 600 employees lost
their jobs in the reorganization of dry
activities this week. This leaves approx
imately 1000 dry employees in the new
Division of Investigation Of the De-
partment of Justice.
While the radically shaken-up en-
forcement unit was readjusting itself
under the Division of Investigation,
Farley, and administration leader in
the repeal movement, told newspaper
men:
THE prohibition law IS in the stat
utes of the United States, and will be
there unless and until the eighteenth
amendment is repealed. And as long
as it is there the law will be and should
be enforced"
Cummings, from his home in Green
wich, Conn, had only this to say of
the retirement of A. v. Dalrymple as
director of the old Prohibition Bureau,
who charged "double-crossing" on the
part of some of his associates:
THE new set-up automatically elm
mated the position formerly held by
Maj. Dalrymple, who for that reason
will no longer be connected with the
Department of Justice"

Chester Lloyd Jones, director of the

So closely linked are trade and in

no major economic development in one

ing to DR.. Jones statistics. the United
States today takes four-fifths or more
of the exports of three of the Carib-
bean republics, and from one-fourth
to four-fifths of the exports of six of
these nations. Because of lack of local
capital and lack of diversification in
industrial activity. the Caribbean
countries are in position of de-
pendence which must continue. DR..
Jones said. This dependence" how

SETTLEMENT SEEN
IN PHONE DISPUTE
Public Utilities Commission
Files Answer to Injunc-
ton Suit.

An early settlement of the rate re-
duction dispute between the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co. and
the Public Utilities Commission was an
ticlpated today as result of the COM
missions action yesterday in filing its
answer to an injunction suit brought
by the telephone company.
The commission had ordered a 10
per cent cut in telephone rates to all
subscribers except those having PIX
boards. Contending the reduction was
unfair, the telephone company secured
a temporary injunction in District Su-
becoming effective until the respective
claims are finally adjudicated.
The commissions answer contends
the company is not entitled to a return
of more than per cent on the value
OF the property, although the COM
pany is demanding per cent. The
answer accuses the telephone COM
pany of extending its plant "unrea-
sonably and unnecessarily beyond the
requirements of service" while using
equipment purchased from a sub
Sidiary of the American Telegraph g.
Telephone Co. at cost described as
unreasonable and excessive. It is also
asserted the company has unduly in
creased its operating costs, resulting in
a decrease of net earnings.
The answer denies the contention
of the telephone company that its
property value on December 81, 1881
was $36,000,000 and advances the
commissions valuation figure of $28.-
200, 900 as Of that date, or $29 ,860, 900
as of June 80, last.
When the temporary injunction was
granted, the court directed the tele-
phone company to impound funds
sufficient to pay subscribers a refund
Of 10 per cent on all telephone bills
since the commissions order was is
sued in event the reduced rate should
finally be affirmed. This fund now
contains approximately $350.000.
