The Acting Comptroller of the
Currency, Francis G.. Await, may
have his hands full these hectic
days, but he has a young son who
believes his own current problem
is the most monumental in Wash
ington.
Thirteen-year-old Francis, jun
ior, has a pet. Most boys, in fact,
have pets of some sort, but few
are like the one Francis has. It's
a bird-a tame robin-which has
become so attached to him that
he can hardly eat or sleep in
peace while the bird Is around.
Francis will tell you that it's
merely gratitude on the part of
The Devil-that's the robins
name-because he saved him from
the jaws of death when he was
just a little fuzzy bird that fell
from his nest.
Saves 1t From Cat
It happened one day about a
month ago when Francis saw his
pet cat, Sandy, run in the yard
with something in his mouth. It
proved to be scraWny, ugly bird.
The youth took the bird from
Sandy, fed it, and kept it in
The Washington times., 1934-07-04

the house that night. The next
day Francis fed the bird again
and in general cared for it.
Days passed and the robin grew
to be very cocky bird with a
shiny red breast. Then one day
Francis decided to give him his
freedom. The bird flew away,
but that evening returned. He
flew into the house, was fed and
spent the night inside.
Always Comes Back
Now, every day The Devil plays
with the other birds until he be-
comes tired and comes back to
Francis when the latter yells for
him.
All the children of the neigh
borhood of the 1900 block Thirty
fourth st. N. w., where Francis
lives, know The Devil by sight,
and even Pat, Boston bull terrier,
another pet at the Await home,
plays with him. And the bird
seems to enjoy it all, is quite
tame and unafraid until Sandy
makes his appearance.
Then The Devil acts up quite
a bit. And that's how he got his
name

S1.10 PAY SCALE.
ACCEPTED BY
CARPENTERS
PWA Work to Be Resumed
Tomorrow "Under Protest.;
Other Rows Near End

Union carpenters here are pre-
pairing to return to work tomor-
row on PWA projects at $1.10 an
hour.
Casting aside disputes that, for
the past two months, harrassed
contractors and tied up millions Of
dollars in construction work, the
carpenters council last night voted
to accept the decision Of the
Board of Labor Review which in q
formal statement Saturday ruled
that PWA contractors here do not
have to pay carpenters more than
$1.10 an hour.
Under Protest
The carpenters are returning to
work, however, under protest.
They contend there should be a
uniform wage scale for their trade
in this city and that all future
PWA contracts should contain
provisions for $1.25 an hour for
carpenters.
The union rate of wages here
for carpenters is $1.25 an hour,
a rate agreed upon two weeks
ago by the union and the Mas
ter Builders Association.
Other Rows Settled
With the exception of the
machinists and the plasterers,
all other labor problems are
settled, temporarily at least, in
the District of Columbia.
The plaSterers are striking for
$1.75 an hour. Chances for an
early settlement of their troubles
appeared good today with the
membership of the union confer.
ring on their wage committee
the authority to bargain. The
machinists have not struck but
have submitted their difficulties
to board of arbitration.

BUDGET SLASH
ATTACKED BY
STANDARDS
Bureaus Efficiency Hard Hit
by Cut; Unit to Fight
for More Funds

Although pleased that an addi-
tional S per cent in salary becomes
available for them this month,
employees of the Bureau of Stand
ards feel that Congress must do
much more for their organization
before its former efficiency and
service to other Federal agencies
can be restored.
Particularly do they believe that
its depleted appropriations should
be returned to their previous
level, so that the dozens Of skilled
technical men who were dropped
for reasons of economy can be
brought back to their jobs.
Staff Cut One-Third
DR.. j. Franklin Meyer, staff
member of the bureau and head
of Local No. 260 of the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
has acted as spokesman for his
fellow workers in making the fol
lowing statement:
"The 5 per cent pay return
means nothing to the large
number of our staff dropped
since the first cut was made.
Almost q third of our staff of a
year ago has been dropped from
the service, and those remain
ing subjected to two days q
month furlOugh through part
of the wear.
Pleased by Shift
1--WE are happy to see the fur
Tough order rescinded at last,
and an additional sum added to
the salaries of the Bureau Of
Standards employees. That ad.
ditiOnaI 5 per cent should
come in handy for those who
have suffered the payIeSS fur
lOugh as WELL"
DR.. Meyer and other members
of the local are cooperating with
the N. F. F. E. in its campaign to
force through the next session of
Congress beneficial legislation for
Federal personnel that will include
restoration of 30-day leave
throughout the service, liberaliza-
ton of the retirement rules, and a
general boosting of Government
salaries.
