INTERSTATE'S 5
CAFETERIA
RAPED
BY ]. EARLE MOSER

Government employees in the
Interstate Commerce Commission
are nearing a condition Of re
volt" over the manner in which
their cafeteria is handled.
Definite steps to rectify the
alleged poor conditions have been
taken, it was revealed today, and
complaints are to be collected by
a committee from personnel that
has thus far limited itSelA to
grumbling or trying to find some
place adequate for lunch outside
the building.
High prices and slow service
are the basis for charges against
the cafeteria, which is under the
jurisdiction of the Governments
Welfare Association, a nonprofit
organization that handles the ma
jority of Federal concessions in
Washington.
1t is claimed that the menu on
the 25-cent special at 1. c. c.
is SO limited that there is hardly
any choice of food, and that If
a worker orders otherwise the
total bill VeerS well over the limit
justified by the average Govern
ment salary.
Situated in the basement of the
new Interstate Building, the cafe
teria's service is so poor that it
requires 10 minuteS-or one third
of the lunch periodic pass
through the line" and get a
table, according to an observer
who has timed the operation more
than once. Many Interstate work
ers attempt to take lunch in the
Post office cafeteria. which is ad-
jacent, but that also requires too
much time, it is said.
A committee to attempt correc-
ton of the trouble, plus a prelim-
mary investigation, has been form
ed with John P. Simpson, well
known union figure, as chairman.
Mrs. Phoebe L. Helt, secretary of
the body, is to receive all COM
plants from personnel in Room
4410.

Government Service"

Timing the announcement nice
1y with the impending observance
Of National Civil Service Week on
January IL. the American FEEDER
alton of Government Employees
will bring out a new publication.
Government Service" as an ad-
junct to it's present newspaper,
The Government Standard.
The new publication is to be
q quarterly magazine, and will be
devoted to civil service and per-
Sonnel problems, is was said today.
Several reasons exist for the
birth of the new organ, one of
them the profit motive" that
is so hated by some left-wing
members Of the A. F.. G. E.
Three previous year books proved
so financially worth while that
the organization has decided the
idea is worth adopting seriously,
although there is some worry at
headquarters as to whether the
magazine will impair the advertis-
ing revenue of the weekly paper.
Another motive is the desire
to have a permanent record Of
the A. F. G. E.'S activities and
Federal personnel doingS, to that
o history" in bound form will be
available for civil service students
or persons engaged in research.
Included in the first issues of
the quarterly will be tabulations
Of large quantity of data on
Government personnel which the
A. F. G. E. has collected since
its birth, of which only prelim-
mary findings have been made
public to date. In this category
are the results of the question
naire started last year by Repre-
sentative William I. Sirovich
Oemocrat), of New York.
The first union of the National
Federation of Federal Employees
to meet in 1886 will be No. II,
the unit of colored employees
headed by Edward L. Scott. The
union is scheduled for business
meeting Friday at p. m. in ITO
Fourteenth St., N. w. The execu-
tive council of the D. C. Fedora
ton of Federal Employees Unions
will gather on Tuesday at the
same time and place, while Local
2's council of head men" has
a confab for S p. m. Friday. Dur
ing the following week the regu-
lar meeting schedule will be re-
sumed, with several important
sessions due.

the lot of the Senator'S secretary,
Edgar Puryear, who asked Sena'
tor Robert M. La Toilette, OF
Wisconsin, to accompany him
Senator La Toilette and Senator
Cutting were close personal
friends.
Senator Cuttings colleagues
were quick to give expressions to
their fondnesS for and apprecla'
ton of his qualities. Vice Presi'
dent Garner said:
HE was a fine patriotic citi-
zen and rendered a great serv-
ice to his country"
Senator Robinson, Democratic
leader of the Senate, said:
"The news of Senator Cut
ting'S death is shocking. He
occupied a position Of influence
in the Senate, and he will be
sincerely mourned."
Senator Harrison CD of Mis-
sissippi, said:
Senator Cutting was a great
humanitarian. He rendered
efficient service to his State
and country and his tragic
death is to be deplOred."
Senator Key Pittman CD OF
Nevada, president pro tenn of the
Senate. said the Government had
lost one of its ablest servants.
