BAT TIE IN MIRA
MAY CHECK
OVERTIME
Victory of Girl Operators of
Comptometers Seen as
Important Precedent

End Of excessive overtime in
the Government service appeared
nearer today as a result Of the
victory Of MIRA employees in OBJ
tanning marked concessions from
Col. r. H. Montgomery, head Of
the research and planning divi-
sion, whereby comptometer opera
tors will no longer be required
to do night work.
The oomptometer situation is
something Of a celebrated case in
the annals Of Government EN-.
ployes. since it involved a protest
by 26 employees, all girls, and
other NRA workers in their be.
half, against a 58-hour week which
had been required Of them in con-
nection with a bituminouS coal
compilation.
Strain Too Heavy
The basis Of the long hours, it
was said, was that the job was a
rush job and that all available
comptometer operators had been
put to work on it. The girls, how.
ever, said they could not endure
the strain Of seven days steady
work, three Of which were from
8 a. m. to $50 p. m.
The NRA officials said they
were being paid more than the
usual wage for comptometer op-
orators and that this justified the
long hours. The plea was made
also that completion Of the work
was Of vital Importance to the
welfare Of some 100000 coal
miners.
DeadIine Postponed
NRA employees. under the lead
ership Of NRA Lodge No. 81,
American Federation Of Govern
ment Employees, yesterday con-
ferred with Colonel Montgomery
and gained a considerable victory
in his agreement to abolish the
night work and to set back the
deadline for the job until Feb
ruary IL. so that it could be com.
pleted without excessive hours.
The delegation which visited
him raised several questions as
to hours Of work required on
comptometer jobs, the classified
ton Of such jobs. the rate Of COM
pensation. and compensation for
overtime work already performed.
Campaign Extended
Overtime problems elsewhere in
the NRA were not taken up with
Colonel Montgomery at yester-
days meeting, but the effort is
under way to eliminate them
everywhere. Overtime already
has been abolished in the Ma
tional Labor Board, which is an
adjunct Of the NRA, though in
dependent Of it. and in certain
units of the NRA itself.

PAVING DELAY
PROVES BOON
To CLERKS
Five-BIoCk Stretch of Avenue
Provides an Excellent
Parking Lot

Constitution Avenue in front Of
the Navy-Munitions Building z
could go unpaved for all time with
no complaint on the part of work
ers in the two departments.
True it is trouble no end for mo-
torists who must detour to reach
Lincoln Memorial and Arlington
Memorial Bridge, but it does fur
nish q most convenient parking
"lot" for employees driving their
cars to work at the Navy and War
departments.
Since the concrete base for the
widened thoroughfare was laid
more, than two months ago, traf-
fic has been barred from use Of
the street pending the laying Of
the asphalt top. Parking has
been allowed, however, and every
day finds hundreds Of machines
parked at sundry angles along the
five-block strip.
In addition, the blockade Of
traffic has made the crossing Of
the street for those who must
walk an almost pleasant recrea-
ton.
Final paving has been delayed
because Of the damp weather, it
has been pointed out by contract
ing officials.
It will be a gloomy day for
clerks when the street is closed
for all purposes to permit laying
of the asphalt.

LUCKETT SEEKS
FREE MILK IN
SCHOOLS
Capitol Heights Mayor Asks
Use of CWA Funds; Cites
Disease Prevalence !.

Demand that CwA and welfarS
officials in Prince Georges county
follow the lead Of District Off
cials in providing free milk for
undernourished school children
was made today by Mayor
Thomas ]. Luckett, Of Capitol
Heights.
Children in the working mans
communities" along the District
Line are in special need Of milk.
he asserted. Home budgets havs
been curtailed in that area much
more than in any other homes
in the county.
Civic groups and local welfare
organizations throughout the area
will be asked to back the proposal
to use CWA funds, as long as such
funds are available, to contract
with milk concerns for special
prices on milk for the children.
School teachers could administer
the project after the milk is made
available, it was aid.
Mayor Luckett added:
Throughout our area, includ.
ing Seat Pleasant, Capitol
Heights, Brentwood, and River
dale, and in the neighbOring
areas, too, many children are
going hungry at noon in schools.
There Is no reason why Prince
|. Georges cannot use funds in the
same manner that the District
Is.
1--WE aren't asking for hot
lunches. Milk is what the chill
dren need. Health records, with
the prevalence of colds, measles,
and other diseases among our
children, prove they need milk"

CNA To GRANT
STUDENT AID

Civil works funds will be used to
finance more than 1000 college
students in the District and sur
rounding area during the second
semester Of the present term, un-
der a plan announced by Federal
Relief Administrator Harry Hop
kinS.
Provisions have been made to
help about 100000 students
throughout the country, he de-
clared, in authorizing state emer-
gency relief administrations to
provide part-time jobs at the col
leges for needy students up to 10
per cent Of their regular enroll
ment.
Under this set-up, George wash
ington University would add about
500 students; Georgetown, $50;
Howard, $50, and Catholic Uni
versity, 1875.
The program provides for part
time employment from date to the
end Of the current academic year,
but not including the 1884 sum-
mer session. It is expected the
program will require between
$5,O00,O 900 and $7,O0O,O0O, the exact
amount depending on the number
of students who qualify.
The students will apply to
authorities of the various institu-
tions, who will submit requests
for allotments to the local relief
administrations.

FIGHT SPURRED
BY SENATE
VICTORY
End of ReaIIocation Ban Is
Urged to Avoid Danger
to Merit System
By DUNCAN FORSYTH

Cheered by the action Of the
Senate subcommittee on the inde-
pendent offices bill in restoring
automatic promotions to certain
groups, barred heretofore by econ
oniy legislation, Government en-
ployes hoped today for restora'
ton Of other rights taken from
them by the same means.
The change does not affect Fed
eral employees generally, but does
help postal workers. District fire
men and policemen and certain
other classes. The employees not
aided feel that they should be
given some relief as well.
They pointed out that the re-
duction in annual leave from 30
to IS days practically constitutes
a pay cut, and that restoration OF
leave to the old basis is a major
feature Of their program for bet
terment Of conditions in the
service.
ReallOcatiOn Urged
They also pointed out that the
prohibition Of reallocations Is a
matter Of supreme Importance to
them since it endangers the whole
theory Of the Civil Service. Yet
the saving to the Government In
volved, according to the Govern
ment's own figures, is only SILL
055.
The suspension Of automatic
promotions, which the subcom-
mittee voted to end, made a So
100000 saving. according to origi-
nal estimates, but inaSmuch as
the Army and Navy already have
regained rights of this character
the amount involved will be con-
Siderably less now.
Two other items that the Gov
ernment employees would like to
see knocked out Of the economy
program are the prohibition
against administrative promotions,
estimated to save $3,264, 900. and
the prohibition against filling va
cancies in the service, estimated
to save $S,0SS,00o.
Subsistence Plan Hit
Meanwhile, the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees
is vigorously pressing its amend
ment to provide that the Govern
ment shall charge its employees to
whom it furnishes quarters, SUBJ
sjstence and laundry. only upon
actual cost basis, and that en-
ployes, where practicable, shall
have the option Of payment in
cash or payment in kind.

Children Trudge Miles to School in Snow
ransfer Forces Three
To Emulate Hardy
Pioneers

History tells us Of valiant
young America ploughing miles
through Snowdrifts to the little
log school house over the hills,
Of youths eager to drink at the
fountain Of knowledge and fit
themselves as tomorrow's leaders
Of the nation.
And history, during Washing
tons heaviest snowfall of the
year, has repeated itself-at least
for three youngsters who unex-
pectedly found the road to learn
ing stretching over many hills
and covered with very real snow.
1t wasn't easy before for Bar
rett, Louise and Chester Bowers
to go to school. Part Of q poor
family of seven children, they
would crawl out Of bed in their
bleak. drafty house out on Con-
duit Road, pull on their all-too-
inadequate clothing, swallow a
Scanty breakfast. and hurry off,
finding some comfort in viSualiz-
ing the warm Reservoir School
just a few blocks away.
Distance Increased
But Old Man Winter sent them
not only heavy blanket Of snow
that clung to their Shivering legs
as they ploughed through the
drifts. but a message from Dis
trict school authorities that added
to their woes.
The children are members of a
"typical class" which affords
special studies for backward stu
dents, and school officials found
that they no longer were able to
provide a teacher solely for the
Reservoir class. which numbered
only eight. SO the class was dis
banded and the children ordered
to report to the Addison and
Curtis schools, a considerable dis
tance in town.
And their troubles started the
first day. Barrett, who is IL, and
Chester. 8. not only had to wade
through heavy drifts with poor
shoes and clothing, but returned
home shivering with a story Of
being bullied by older boys, who
resented the intrusion of these
strangers . II it hadn't been

pected to reach final decision today.
Conference Of the court in the
matter was held yesterday after

Should the high court make this
writ permanent, arrests will begin
by all law enforcement agencies, it
was said. Should they dissolve the
