WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Senate
Document 173, just of the presses
of the government printing office,
promises to be a best seller" among
deserving Democrats" who are try
ing to find out where and how to
get federal jobs.
Thus far there mas been only a
limited printing of Senate Docu-
ment 173, which lists more than
100000 government positions not
protected by civil service laws. Two
copies have been furnished to each
OF the ninety-siX senators and one
copy to each of the 435 represent
ativeS. The volumes are available
to the public at 40 cents apiece.
The document, listing as it does
all patronage posts, salaries. loca-
tons, etc, no doubt will be a great
help to lay Democrats, who. after
twelve years away from the public
trough, have not known where to
turn for a share of the loot"
