that other persons in this class
will not be admitted to the re-
employment register.
Mr.. Mitchell made public also
a letter from Secretary of Com.
merce Daniel c. Roper, in which
the following paragraph is sig.
nificant, in that apparently it
enunciates the Administrations
policy with respect to reemploy.
ment of Federal workers:
'It has recently been neces-
sary to remove from the rolls of
the Department of Commerce
some 1880 persons, of which ap-
prOximately 1900 have a civil
service status. A large proper
tiOn of this 1900 acquired civil
service status by competitive
examination. In this last group,
the President has expressed a
deep personal interest and has
indicated that he wishes those
who have acquired a civil Serv-
ice status through proper civil
service test to be considered
first on request for employment
of additional people in any and
all Federal units"
Impetus Is Seen
The impetus for the commits
sion's action regarding persons
blanketed into the service appar-
emily appears in the closing para
graph of Secretary Roper's letter,
which reads:
ut is our understanding, and
I presume that of the commits
sion, that the President does
not desire to have certified on
request for employment persons
who have not by proper Civil
Service test attained their Civil
Service status"
The Importance of the re-
employment register appears in
statistics released today by the
Cicil Service Commission, which
show that last week 229 persons
were appointed from reemploy-
men registers to positions in
Washington, principally in Fed
real agencies whose employees are
not in the classified service. This
number does not include "a per-
sons said to have been reinstated
in the Geological Survey pending
investigation Of efficiency ratings.

BRIEF ASSA|LS
POLITICIANS
Of MARYLAND
LittIepage Asks U. S. Public
Works Chief to Pass On
Question on Its Merits

In a 17.page brief filed with the
Federal Emergency Administra.
ton of Public Works, the Wash.
ington Chamber of Commerce to
day asked that body to approve
the application of the Chesapeake
Beach Railway Company for a
$425,000 self f-liquidating loan to be
used in constructing a ferry from
Chesapeake Beach across the bay
to Hudson, Md.
Through Thomas P. Littlepage,
president of the Washington
chamber, the public works group
was informed that the ferry line
will bring Washington in close
commercial and social contact
with the rich southern Maryland
peninsula, contact hitherto en-
joyed by the section of country to
the north because of poor trans
portation facilities.
Politicians Scored
Scoring Maryland politicians
who hold stock in the Claiborne
Annapolis ferry line which is fight
ing the proposed new line, Little
page told the public works group
that the loan will be amply Sc
cured by property valued at
$1,612,075 and will liquidate
itself.
He cited surveys made by three
separate engineering groups to
prove the statement.
Asks Merits Considered
Referring to court fights won by
the ferry group to obtain Inter-
state Commerce Commission IL
cense to operate, Littlepage con-
cluded:
'"The Chamber Of Commerce
asks the Public Works Admin
lStratOr to pass on the loan for
this project on its merits and to
disregard any attempt on the
part Of any group of politicians
to renew again the same Objec-
tiOnS that have been so def
lnitely decided against them by
the Supreme Court"

5 IN AUTO FIRE
On D. {. MEN

= A large sedan early today
swerved close to the sidewalk at
First and B Streets Northwest
and its occupants, several colored
men, fired at three other colored
men, according to a report made
TO Second precinct police by a
taxicab driver, a witness. The
men on the sidewalk dropped flat
and escaped injury, he said.
The cab driver gave police a
New Jersey tag number which he
said was that of the mysterious
car. Police found no signs of the
gunmen nor their intended vic
tins when they canvassed the
neighborhoom.
The investigators expressed the
opinion the affair may have been
an outgrowth of controversy over
the numbers racket.

TRINITY PRESIDENT
PRAISES LABORER
DR.. RemSen B. 0gi|by Gives
Labor Sunday Sermon
at Cathedral.

Praising the American workingman,
Rev Dr. Remsen B. Ogilby, president
Of Trinity College, Hartford, Conn, yes
terday afternoon preached the annual
Labor sermon at Washington Cathedral,
Mount St. Alban.
In the course of his address he told
the story of recent experience of his
own with a group of representative
workmen. 1T has been my good
fortune to have a share in project
where employer and employed gradually
came to realization of their common
interest in the completion of job. The
chapel at Trinity College is a little
brother of this Cathedral,
The beginning of the interest of our
workmen in the chapel they were build
ing was dinner We gave the men,
just after the foundation was started,
to give them some idea of what the
chapel was to be like.
1T is quite fair to say that the beauty
OF the finished structure soon became a
matter of passionate concern to every
one. On their own initiative the men
raised money to put a Stained-glaSs
window in the crypt chapel and took
pleasure in showing to visitors how
lovely the building was going to be- On
the great day of the conservation, when
bishops in cope and mitre and digni-
natries in academic dress marched in
procession into the Chap2l, the work.
men were there in their well worn
overalls, proudly exhibiting the work of
their hands. Finally. when the gener-
80 donor of the chapel found himself
unable to finish the building because
of financial reverses, the Workmen GAL
lantlv came to the rescue to finish the
tower. Contributing from their own
wages $4,000 for materials. they said
they would even save the cost of archi-
tectural supervision by accepting the
responsibility of completing the tower
themselves"
The service was conducted by Canon
Raymond L. Walven, chaplain to the
Bishop of Washington, and music ap-
propriate to the occasion was rendered
by the Cathedral choir

almost at once. Thus. from executives
down to common muckers, there exists
the possibility of wider employment in
production of a commodity that the
United States, and all other countries,
sorely need-gold This thought may
go beyond the imemdiate possibilities
brought out by the Presidents ruling,
but is surely worthy of consideration.
Another fact that often escapes the
superficial observer is the widespread
effect mining exercises on other types
of industry. When operated extern
sively, the gold mines require not only
men, but their subsistence. More food,
more clothing, more housing. Beyond
that again is the beneficial effect on
the producers of machinery, upon
transportation, consumption of power,
absorption of mining supplies and SO
forth. Engagement of several hundreds
of thousands of additional men in gold
mining is possible without the slightest
danger of the overproduction of gold
AS before stated. the effect of the
new Treasury ruling, which secures for
the American miner higher price for
gold, will exercise this effect of stimu-
lating the industry. Old mines, worked
by primitive methods years ago, will be
investigated and possibly brought into
pIOuuCllOll WIFI IlOUeIIl equipment
Some of the dumps" in the Western
United States are considered to contain
large quantities of commercial ore if
re-treated in up-to-date mills. The
construction of power waste disposal
sites in California might be embraced
in such program, SO that hydraulic
mining. restricted 40 years ago by the
Caminetti act might be resumed on a
large scale 1t is the lowest-cost method
Of mining.
In the final analysis. then, the actual
production of the most precious COM
modify, gold, may be greatly augmented
through the Presidents order, and this
should have the ultimate effect of rails
ing the monetary gold stock of the
United States. Certainly, it will in
crease the monetary gold stocks of the
world.
And. as in previous economic cycles
an increasing supply of gold to the
monetary stocks Of the world has exer-
cised decided effect in bringing about
prosperity, the present movement
should have the same result as the
Australian. Californian. South African
Rand and Klondike discoveries, which
influenced prosperous times in former
periods.
