Employees to Weigh Subject
Mt Session.

Preservation and extension of the
merit system for Government en-
ployes will be the outstanding sub
ject to be considered at the annual
convention of the National Federation
of Federal Employees early next month
In Yellowstone National Park, accord
ing to Luther c. Steward, president
Of the federation.
This is assured after an analysis OF
scores of resolutions proposed for con-
sideration by the national convention
which have reached national head
quarters here.
1T is highly significant" President
Steward pointed out, that so large a
proportion of the resolutions received
thus far deal with the fundamental
question of maintenance of the civil
service system. It proves conclusively
that Government workers are awake
to the very real menace of the spoils-
man, and that they recognize that
only through the upbuilding of an i'm
pregnable civil service system can real
progress be secured"

u. s. WILL PAY
UNION SCALE
FOR PWA WORK

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. (UP)
Works Progress Administrator
Harry J.. Hopkins late yesterday
made what appeared to be a con-
cession to union leaders seeking
pay at the prevailing wage" for
workers employed on WPA prof
ects.
He issued an executive order
permitting state administrators to
reduce the hours Of labor below
the present maximum of 40 hours
week-five eight-hour days. He
insisted, however, that the admin
istration's security wage" max
imum, which ranges up to $92 a
month, would be maintained.
The ruling would permit state
administrators to bring down the
working hours as low as condi-
tions warrant and theoretically
would provide payment at the
prevailing union rate for the few
hours worked.
The order came at the close OF
q conference between Hopkins
Assistant Secretary Of Labor Ed
ward F. McGrady, and leaders OF
the building trades union. Gener,
al Hugh S. Johnson, works prog,
ress administrator for New York
City, flew here just in time to at,

ICKES SCORES
LIBERTY UNIT
Says Attorneys For Group
''Impertinent' In Pass
ing On Laws

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. (UP)
Lawyers of the American Liberty
League are guilty of "gross I'M
pertinence" in attempting to pass
upon constitutionality of New
I Deal laws before the supreme
court acts, Secretary of Interior
Harold L. Ickes charged yester-
day.
In a scathing denunciation of
the league at his weekly press con-
ference, the plain-spoken lckes
characterized Jouett ShOuse and
the lawyers committee which
found the labor relations act un-
constitutional as 'the chief justice
and his 81 varieties"
ShouSe, old-line Democrat and
president of the Liberty League,
announced the findings of his COM
mittee yesterday. He said that the
leagues lawyers also intended to
hand down unofficial opinions on
other New Deal legislation soon.
at certainly will save the SUI
preme court a lot of worry in the
future" Ickes continued bitingly.
81 thought the present court was
operating under the constitution.
The chief justice gets only $40
500 yearly, but Shouse beats him
in that.
"Of course Chief Justice Shouse
could not be expected to take over
the nations judicial and legisla-
tive work for less than $4,000
Characterizing the leagues an
nouncement as "high powered
propaganda" he said:
anybody has the right to ex-
press an opinion on pending legi5-
lation, but it is certainly gross I'M
pertinence for a group of law
yers banded under Chief Justice
Shouse to pass on the constitution.
1t is per Sc a disrespect to the
supreme court"

TRAFFIC SHIFT
WOULD BE- WAR
CONSEQUENCE
World Shipping Would Be
Routed By Panama
Canal, View
By HARRY w. WRANTZ
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (UP)
An Italian-British struggle in
the Mediterranean, jeopardizing a
main traffic artery of the world,
would lead to an extraordinary
shift in Far Eastern commerce
and divert much traffic to the
Panama route, shipping authori-
ties here predicted Yesterday.
Growing concern over the traf-
fic situation along the Suez-Medi-
terreanean route has caused eX-
perts to envisage an international
maritime situation without preced-
cnt in the world history.
Until the opening of the Pan
anna Canal. the interruption Of
shipping through the Mediter-
reanean would have merely been
followed by the diversion OF
Europe-Asia traffic to the ola
Cape of Good Hope route of sail
ing-hip days.
With the Panama Canal in OPP
Grafton, however, cutting off the
normal traffic route via Suez
would cause distances on many
important world route to be re-
calculated on the basis of distanc..
es via Panama versus Cape OF
Good Hope.
If the Mediterranean route
should be interrupted, or even II
| war risks there became very high,
the heavy commodities traffic
| from the Far East to the United
States would come exclusively by
Panama. At present, 1t moves
both by Suez and Panama. Much
of the Eastern Asian traffic to
and from Northern Europe also
probably would be routed by
Panama.
In recruiting traffic, the rela-
tive distance would not be the
sole consideration, as the degree
of risk on various routes, the ports
of call available, and the ne"
traffic arising on account Of wal
| needs would also enter into the
situation.
I In former days when bulky
commodities were carried in large
lpart by tramp" steamers, dis,
,tance was a controlling consldera,
ton, but in recent years much OF
the worlds commerce Is handled
by lines operating on fixed routes
with numerous ports of call. The
re-routing therefore could not
easily be forcseen.
World shipping is governed ir
large degree by the movements OF
the great basic raw materials, anc
if Oriental rubber, tin, silk, sugar
and vegetable oils should be NOV
fed into the Otlantic via Panama
a situation would be created fav'
urable to an expansion Of Amer,
lean commerce, experts here be-
lieved.
At present the China coast is
! Sucz or Janama to New York. II
approximately equi-distance BY
the SucZ route were closed, how
ever, the Panama route would at
ford q considerable saving III ulS
lance.
Traffic between British India
and Great Britain presumabI!
would take the Good Hope route
! but the heavy shipments of In
dian iutc to the United States, II
event of Suez route interruption
might come via Panama.
The heavy rubber shipment
from Southeastern Asia to thu
United States now comc in large
part via SUcz, but would be re
routed by Panama. CONSIDERABLE
Philippines sugar now shipped vi;
Suez also would find a Pacific
route.
The United States share of to-
tai cargo moving annually through
the Suez Canal ranges from 5 tt
