out jail. courthouse. post office,
church or schools. There were no

Rule. and justice was not only fast
but fair.

WOMAN GUIDES
]. {. CLERKS

The cry Of "Cherchez la femme"
may very well be applied in con-
nection with the behind the scenes
activities of organized Federal
employees.
And a search for the woman who
pulls many Of the strings which
bring increased benefits for Gov
ernment workers would reveal
Miss Gertrude M. McNally, secre-
tary-treasurer Of the National
Federation of Federal Employees.
Miss McNally came to the Fed
Grafton after many skirmishes in
behalf Of Government workers
and in the 18 years she has been
connected with the N. F. F. E. she
has been one Of the most active
and untiring workers to obtain
better working conditions in the
Federal service.
Miss McNally at one time was
vice president of the organization
and since 1925 has been it's Sec
retary-treasurer.
The fight for restoration of Gov
ernment salaries has seen Miss
McNally fighting as she never
fought before, and she will con-
tinue the battle for the return
