The National Federation Of
Federal Employees today made it
clear that it will take no notice
of the plan launched by the ma
tional campaign committee of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees to reunite the
two organizations Of government
workers.
There is no more sentiment in
favor of union with the American
Federation of Labor than there
has been at any time since the
break with that organization, it
was indicated. The A. F. Of L.,
organized as a craft union, was
held to be distinctly out Of step
not only with efficient unioniza-
ton of Federal employees, but with
the general program of the pres
ent administration for organizing
labor.

"It is just another mimeO-

they any better off for it?

The National Federation OF

affiliated with the American Fed

it mainly on jurisdictional dis
putes. A part of the N. F. F. E
membership remained with the A

campaign committee Of this group
is now appealing to Federal EN-
ployes generally to recombine in
affiliation with the American Fed

That plans are being made for an open market for gold if nothing is done at the London conference and that it is claimed gold will automatical- l. ly go to $50 or $35 an ounce and silver to 75f or more an ounce, is the statement attrib- ted to the governor of the New York Metal Exchange in recent news reports.
 If the conference standard izes silver and gold, that will be different, but at any rate a substantial silver and goli price is assured, the official said.

New School Regulations
 Abolish Rural Boards

The Hyder School Board has been advised that under regulations adopted. by the Territorial Board of Education under the school law passed by the last Alaska Legislature, school boards in rural school districts will be abolished and the administration of rural schools, of which the Hyder school is one, will be taken over by the Board of Education.
 Under the new regulations the Board of Education will ap- point representative in each community where there is a ru- ral school, although it is under stood that this official will not possess any administrative functions, his duties being con- fined to Joking after the school property and maintaining it in proper order. In all ether re- spects the control and manage ment of the rural schools will repose in the Territorial board and is expected to result in inn portant savings to the Terri tory. The Board will also sc- feet all teachers employed in rural schools.
 This in effect means that the residents of the rural school district will have little or noth- ing to say regarding the con- duct of their schools, although it is possible that the new sys- tenn may result in greater ef- ficiency than before.
 The local school board was advised that they will continue in charge of the school until the appointment of the Terri torial Boards local represent ative, after which the local board will be automatically dissolved.
