"In addition to the index for

Accountants Must Stay Hour

Morgenthau'S Stand

Despite specific instructions
from Secretary Of the Treasury
Morgenthau that employees Of the
department. are not to be detained
after 4:3O in the afternoon, work
ers in the asserting section Of

been ordered to work an hour

tary's office today said Morgen-
thau "was appalled, when he
first saw the terrible conditions"
No Ventilation There
On "rush days" about %
women are put to work in the
corridors on the third floor Of
the Treasury Building. There is
no ventilation or sunlight while
the employees are working. It is
not uncommon to see persons
expectorate on the floor Of the
improvised office space as they
pass by. The women have com
planned that the corridors are
drafty and that as a consequence
many of them have suffered Sc
we're colds.
Every possible effort is being
made to eliminate these condi-
tions as well as working overtime
without pay, Herbert E. CASTOR
press relations director Of the
Treasury Department, said.

Money has been appropriated
for complete remodeling of the

Councilman e. C. Davidson,

have been obtained from Public

The school board recently short
