GOOD RELIEF JOBS
SAID HELD BY COP.
Representative Claims They
Work for Party While in
Democratic Employ.
BY the Associated Press.

Chairman Lozier of the Democratic
Patronage Committee said yesterday
information supplied his committee
disclosed Republicans not only held a
majority of the more important relief
jobs, but were organizing Republicans
while in Democratic employ.
Reports from the districts and the
States show that in the relief and
c. w. A. work, Republicans domi-
nate in the key positions" he said.
Many of them are partisan. stand
pat, reactionary Republicans who,
while outwardly giving the President
lip service loyalty. are engaged in
thinly veiled activities for the organi-
zation and strengthening of the par
t1san Republican organization"
The chairman estimated that some
thing like half of the Democrats in
the House had filed written men,
oranda with the committee, citing the
conditions in their districts He said
a large number of verbal reports had
been given. but the members had been
informed they would have to put them
in writing in order that the commit
tee could give the complaints and
other information intelligent study.
Lozier reported that the department
heads so far approached for infor-
maion regarding appointments had
shown a willingness to confer with
the committee, and that the confer
ences were making progress
Although no concrete accomplish
ments have so far been obtained" he
said, 1T is hoped and believed that
something constructive will come out
or the conferences"
While Loziers group was seeking
more patronage for Democrats. re-
moral of the question from the juris-
diction of members of Congress and
placing it with the national, State
and local party organizations was
suggested in a letter to Postmaster
General Farley by Representative
Kopplemann, Democrat, of Connecti-
cut
Asking that the suggestion be re-
ferred to President Roosevelt, Kop-
plemann said Federal patronage mat
ters did not belong in the legislative
branch of the Government. He said
If they were referred to the organ
izations where they belong" a solu-
ton over personal matters would be
found
Much of the time of Senators and
Representatives now is taken up with
these questions" Kopplemann said
Particularly at a time like this,
when the importance of pending and
prospective legislation demands the
full attention of each member, the
continuance Of such situation can
not be defended"

said:

rest continues, the government. con-
scious of its responsibility, will act
within its rights, using whatever
methods it deems most efficient. be-
cause the salvation of the republic
lies within the supreme law.
We are ready to respect all rights
and to give all manner of guaran-
