PAY.
PROPOSED FOR
BUREAU STAFF

Amendment Of the classified
ton act to give the remaining
5000 per diem employees of the
Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing full-time compensation for a
five-day week is proposed in a
bill introduced in the Senate by
Senator Joseph c. O'Mahoney
,lDD of Wyoming.
Under the provisions of a bill
passed at the last session 753
employees were put under the five
day week. Since then the work
has been spread over a five-and-
halliday week so as not to cut
down the employees who are paid
on per diem basis and whose
compensation would be curta1led
if their hours were cut.
Under the plan suggested IN TINS
bill these per diem employees would
be included in the five-day week
with an adjustment of their ag-
eregate salaries so they would not
suffer by less work.
1t is believed that if this meas
ure is given Congressional ap-
proval the Bureau of Engraving &
Printing will be shut down all day
on Saturdays. The measure is
backed by the American Fedora
ton of Labor.

PATENT ISSUED.
NO. 100000
JOSEPH LEDWINKA

Patent No. 100000 rolled out
of the records today, giving the
United States an idea as to how
many inventions have come to
light since 1885, the beginning of
the present series.
To Joseph Ledwinka, chief
engineer of the Edward G. Budd
Manufacturing Company, goes the
distinction of getting the two
millionth patent. It is for an i'm
provement on pneumatic tires
for railroad cars.
Mr.. Ledwinka has obtained 247
other patents in the last So years,
and the records show his work

the development of the modern

REDS PLAN COUP
IN BRITAIN

LONDON, April 80 G.N.S).
A complete program for over
throwing the British government
and establishing a Bolshevik re-
CINE here has been published by
the Communist International Or.
ganization, the Daily Mail al
legged today in a dispatch from
Riga, Latvia.
The detailed document, run.
ming into 10000 words, includes
a plan to "liquidate" the British
royal family, according to the
Mail.
Details of how the Communists
are to seize financial institutions,
industries, agriculture, and trans.
portation, and supplant the Navy,
Army, and air force with red
troops were listed.
The Comintern, said the Mail,
would not attempt to collect Brit
ish investments abroad, but would
present them as gifts to the deb
tors.
Communist circles here, pre-
pairing for big rallies tomorrow
in Hyde Park, scoffed at the
Mails story, pointing out that
the newspaper has Fascist lean
ings, and that the source of the
dispatch was the Riga "rumor

BY SALLIE v. H. PICKETT.

There is life and color in social
events in the Capital as things are
now moving, and nothing could have
given more distinction to late Sep
tember days than the cup races
on the Potomac. Of far different
nature was the conference at the
White House earlier in the week, with
the President and Mrs Roosevelt,
hosts to hundreds of persons eagerly
interested in helping the less fortunate
of mankind. There was a phase of
the meeting not mentioned in the
newSprint reports, and that was the
glad welcome given one of the dele
gates, Charlie" Taft, by the old en-
ployes, who were there when, as a
youngster in knickers, he romped
about the mansion, one of the White
House children. and played pranks on
every one about the place.
Social representations for the Fail
of 1885 will gang agley," as sweet
Bobby Burns might say, and no man
and no woman can yet faithfully pre-
dict the beginning, though the end
will, of course, be filled pretty much
as in other years. The gigantic. task
of electrically equipping the White
House has indeed been stupendous.
What Mrs Roosevelt found there were
J two or three electrically re-
frigerators and an electric ice cream
freezer. OF course so modern house
was equipped with toasters and little
grills, such as one attaches by plug
ging in, but these were merely family
needs.
Still, with. the convenience of coal
or gas ranges. ice chests and very
limited cold storage, President Taft
gave the order that guests at all re-
ceptions be furnished supper. Out
side caterers for the White House had
been done away with and there was
nothing to do but follow the order of
the commander in chief of the man
sion and serve food. The 1900 or
1,400 guests were given, therefore,
such things as ham mousse, chicken
salad, egg sandwiches, tea biscuits, ice
cream, macaroon and fruit ice cream,
coffee and champagne punch. We
need not mention the state dining
room crush. soiled evening garments
and all that, but this menu was COM
plete and the food was fit for gods
as well as diplomats I treasure both
the menu and the memory.
Cup races and q bang-up horse
show really seem too much to be
crowded into one 48 hours, and both
being removable feasts, as it were,
one of them might easily have been
dated otherwise. However, horsemen
are seldom sailors, and vice versa, and
each group had its following. Mrs.
Swanson, dainty wife of the Secretary
of the Navy, Of course, chose the boat
races, her husband being a water lord,
but diplomats and others were equally
interested, and Washington society
tried to choose both events, catching
Q glimpse of each.
