trained workers of the bureau to put in
overtime work to keep it functioning
smoothly during the transition period.
The divisions affairs are now prac-
tically back to normal and it is expect
ed that the overtime will be dispensed
with beginning Monday.
The administration has not employed
any C. w. A. workers to assist in this
rush of work for the reason that it was
felt that persons not familiar with the
work would be of no material assistance.
The work consists largely of receiving

DEMANDS OUTLINED
WA. WORKERS
League Threatens March to

Speed Action.

A program for securing better work.
ing conditions for civil works employees
was laid down at a meeting in Pythian
Temple last night of the c. w. A.
Workers Protective League. The league
will send a delegation of seven to the
District Building tomorrow to present
its demands. If they are not met. 1t
was said, the league plans a massed
demonstration in the form of march
to the District Building next week.
The demands adopted last night
were: Pay on the job, instead of pay
on Saturday, which is an off-day for
the workers: pay for 80 hours when
the weather or other causes prevent
workers from putting in full time; 81 Il
cents minimum wage and free trans
portation to an from the job.
The demand which aroused most
discussion was that for 30 hours pay.
At present, the C. w. A. men are
allowed to make up time lost by work.
ing two extra hours a day. When bad
weather continues several days a week,
however, it becomes impossible to make
up the time, and speakers complained
that by now practically all workers are
behind on their time without hope of
catching up.
One speaker said he did not want to
be paid for work which he did not do.
He was greeted by cries of "sit down.
Many workers pointed out that before
the inauguration of the G. w. A, relief
payments were made whether the re-
cipients put in full time or not. c. w.
A., they said, was relief by another
name, and the same principle should
be followed.
The present minimum wage is Is
cents an hour, giving worker who
puts in full time $3.50 a week.
The demand for free transportation
was made only for those now required
to travel several miles to the job.
A resolution IN favor Of colored fore
men over colored workers was offered,
but its consideration was deferred
until meeting next Thursday night,
also to be held in Pythian Temple.

Greenberg has driven IN % or more runs in
excess of the total of the Giants first sacker.
Defensive Skill so necessary at first base, gives
the edge to Terry.
Terry is $50 hitter in his own right, and
one of the most dangerous men when a rally
is booming and runs are pouring over the
plate. He is a line drive hitter with tendency
to hit into left field or left center field For
this reason he has never ranked prominently
among the home run hitters who arch the ball
through higher trajectory with a sharper
pull to the lines.
Terry assumed control of the New York
Giants in midseason in 1882, succeeding the
late John ]. McGraw who resigned. His first
official act was to toss into the discard the
ironclad rules established by the Little Ma
poleon and to establish closer harmony be-
tween manager and player than ever had ex-
listed between McGraw and his men. Terry
was always a violent dissenter against the
needlessly severe rules of McGraw.
