END Of OYSTER
WAR SOUGHT

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 25.-Legisla.
ton to end the oyster war that
has ragged this season will be
sought in the legislature next
week through a bill seeking to re.
open the Potomac River to oyster
dredgeS.
This plan is regarded as the
best way to abolish the poachers,
it was learned, following a series
of conferences held by the State
Conservation Commission.
Under the plan Maryland and
Virginia would adopt concurrent
legislation that the river, closed
for the past two years, would be
opened from November l to
January l for dredgeS not exceed
ing AZ inches in width.
The dredging operations would
be limited to dredging bars and
would not extend to the longing
areas. Such a program, it was
pointed out, would effect econ
omy by cutting the cost of polio.
ing the river.
Virginia authorities are under
stood to favor the plan Of the
short season on the Potomac.

subcommittee will be named
at a meeting this afternoon of the
education committee of the Ameri,

Employees, which aims to counter
act the nationwide propaganda
that has been directed against the
Government clerk and to give the
public accurate information as to
the duties the clerks perform and
the pay they get.
A few days ago the appoint
ment of E. Claude Babcock, Sec
retary of the Civil Service Com
mission, as national chairman OF
the committee was announced.
He has been active in civic af-

Federal employees organizations,
and because of his position in the
civil service is exceptionally well
informed on matters of Govern
ment personnel.
The committee will undertake
it's campaign at once. In discuss,

that it would seek to make the
facts about Government employ
ment known, and that this was
necessary because there had been
a great deal of misrepresentation

Maryland Sportsmen Urged
To Save License System

Over the signature of E. Lee
LeCompte, State game warden,
Maryland Sportsmen have been
sent letters asking them to urge
their delegates and senators at
Annapolis to defeat a move. to
dissolve the present hunters
license system.
Under the present system, all
monies collected for hunting and
fishing licenses, and through
fines assessed for violations of
the game laws are turned over to
the conservation department and
used in the propagation of game
birds and animals.
The proposed change would
dissolve the State game protection
fund and divert all these funds
into the general treasury. Mr..
LeCompte wrote:
"Of course, this would mean
the departments activities
would be greatly curtailed and
the propagation and purchase
of game for brood stock would
necessarily be discontinued.

BREAK FEARED
AMONG CLERKS

Cleavages among Federal en-
ployeS resulting from the break
over affiliation with organized
labor have become increasingly
acute of late, with the result
that Federal employees who are
endeavoring to maintain an i'm
partial attitude have begun to
fear that the clerks cause may
be hampered by this internecine
warfare.
A small number of Federal
employees are affiliated both with
the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees and the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes. They have become some
what disturbed by recent develop
ments which, to their minds,
indicate that jealousy between
the rival organizations may bulk
larger in their policies than it
should, and that unity in cam
paigns of interest to the clerks
might thereby be prevented.
AS an instance, they cite
development of the past week
which served in some measure to
bring this opposition to a head.
Representatives of the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes discovered a provision Of
the District of Columbia appro-
priations bill, which, they be-
lieved, would have removed the
protection of the Classification
Act from District employees. The
other organization, though it
adopted a position in opposition
to the particular provision, did
so on other grounds, and con.
tended that the status of District
employees with respect to the
Classification Act would not be
affected.
Federal employees who are en-
deavoring to maintain a judicious
balance insofar as the claims
of the two organizations are con-
cerned point out that if appre-
hension existed regarding the
meaning of the section of the
District appropriations bill under
discussion, it might have been
possible, at least, that the Sec
tion's Interpretation by outside
authorities might lead to consid-
cradle hardship for the employees.

EXPERTS CLAIM
HARDLY 1000
To SUFFER
"Deserving Democrats" Due
for Shock in Search of
Government Places

Comparatively few of the
holders of so-called political jobs
in the Federal service are doomed
to displacement under the new
administration, in the opinion Of
civil service officials familiar
with governmental procedure
over a number of changes in
administration.
It is pointed out that not since
the time of Andrew Jackson has
a new President made a clean
sweep of Government employees,
and that according to present
indications the number destined
to lose their jobs will be consid-
erably smaller than the "deserv-
ing Democrats" had thought
and hoped.
Estimated at 1000
Well-informed estimates Of the
probable turnover with the new
administration place the number
of Federal positions to be re-
filled at not more than 1000.
This includes Cabinet officers,
foreign ENJOYS. etc.
The practical point Of view Is
that while new manager Of q
grocery store might have the
power to discharge all its en-
ployes, he would not want to
lose good clerks. Consequently,
it is felt that the new admins
tration will proceed cautiously,
at least, in dispensing with the
services of employees, even those
of political status, except where
vital changes of policy are con-
templated, such as would make
the retention of present employees
practically impossible.
Expected to Be Small
With respect to purely routine
Jobs, the turnover is expected to
be small, regardless of the in
cumbent's political affiliation.
But it is obvious that certain
job-holders committed to Repub-
lican policies and principles
could hardly serve whole-heart-
edly where entirely new policies
are to be put into effect.
Ultimately, it is expected, there
will be reorganizations, involving
elimination of certain units and
their replacement by new units,
of different character and scope,
with the probability that new
personnel would be appointed.

HEALTH SCHOOL
OVERCROWDED

The use of the unoccupied rooms
at the Garfield School to relieve
the crowded condition at the
Toner Health School was urged
by the Federation of Civic ASso-
Citations meeting last night at the
District Building.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the association by
w. H. Lewis, chairman of the edu-
cation committee, who pointed out
that the Associated Charities has
So colored tubercular children on
a waiting list to be admitted to
the school. The Garfield School
has IL rooms and only half of the
number is being used. About 26
Of the children now not in school
live in the southeast section Of
the city.
The association also urged that
something be done toward CEN
tralizing the ungraded schools for
feeble minded and crippled chill
dren of the public school system.
In many instances the distance
the children have to go results in
delinquency.

EMPLOYEES HOLD
REP. DOUGLAS
SYMPATHETIC
As Director of the Budget He
Is Esteemed to Regard
Workers SympatheticaIIy

Federal employees generally con-
slider the appointment of Repre-.
sentative Lewis w. Douglas of
Arizona as director Of the budget
highly significant from the point
of view Of fair working conditions
in the Federal service.
Representative Douglas has be-
come known, during his career in
Congress, as both courageous and
able, and his attitude on matters
affecting Government employees
has been regarded as indicating
a desire to see that they are
justly treated.
He has an engineering back
ground. and is familiar with cost
accounting methods. Though
a comparatively young man, he
has had much experience Of a
type to fit him for his new posi-.
ton.
Representatives of the Federal
employees assert that they want
no special favors, but they ask
fair treatment for the Federal
employees.
1t is recognized that there will
be reorganizations and that some
positions will necessarily be abol-
iShed, but it is believed that these
changes will be made with as few
casualties as possible. AS for the
budgets of coming years, it is
relaxed that these must be
brought into fair conformity with
national income, and that this
will mean retrenchment. The
Federal employees ask only that
such retrenchment be carried out
on fair and equitable basis.
