MARRIAGE RULE
H|TSONLYFEW
H|GHSALAR|ES

Victims of Section 213, Of the
economy act, which prohibits en-
ployment of both husband and
wife in Government service, are
the lowest-paid women workers, it
was revealed today by the Ma
tional League of Women Voters
after a study made by the Won.
ems Bureau of the United States
Department of Labor.
This study reveals that 80 per
cent Of the dismissed employees
earned less than $4,000 a year,
while only 6 rer cent Of the dis.
miSsalS came from the higher
paid group. Three .fourths Of
those dismissed were women, the
study reveals.
400 Resigned
Most of these persons were dis
missed, although 400 resigned
chiefly to avoid a dismissal Of a
husband or wife in another de-
partment. The Treasury Depart
ment, the Veterans Administra-
ton, and the Commerce Depart
ment suffered the heaviest loss OF
such employees.
The investigation discloses that
personnel officers have observed
"a general generalization among
employees as a result Of the mani
fest discriminatory effect Of the
law" It also reports "a shoulder
ing sense of injustice among the
lower paid groups as they are
thrust under the guillotine Of the
law, while the higher-paid en-
ployes in the married persons
category are often immune from
tts hazards"
This study, made Of the opera
ton of Section 213 from June 80,
1882, to February l, 1885, was
conducted at the request Of the
National League Of Women
Voters, the American Federation
Of Teachers, Medical Women's Ma
tional Association, National Edu-
cation Association, National Fed
Grafton of Business and Profess
sional Women's Clubs, National
Women's Trade Union League
and the Women's Homeopathic
Medical Fraternity.
Opposed AS Unfair
These organizations for several
years have urged repeal Of the
married persons clause as 'un-
fair and discriminatory" The
study reads in part:
"This prepOnderance Of sep
aratiOnS from the service Oc-
curing in the lower-paid
groups is explained by the
fact that personnel officers de-
sire to retain for the efficient
conduct Of Government business
those employees who occupy
executive and administrative
positions requiring a high de-
gree of skill and experience.
$50 that whatever reductions
under the act are necessary are
made as far as possible from the
classes of employees, such as
StenOgraphers and clerks, where
the work of any one person may
be easily done by a substitute
without a great amount Of ex-
perience on the job.
"The lOwer-paid groups Of
employees are less able finan-
Cially to Withstand the necessity
Of carrying on the support of a
family on one meager salary
which is often inadequate for
the absolute necessities under
present living conditions"

Sees Future Profit
In Raising Hogs

With the current trend of pork
prices, North Carolina farmers are
again finding a profitable source of
income in the production of hogs.
Growers raising hogs for market
should breed their sows about
November l and May l each year,
said w. w. Shay, swine specialist
at State College.
By follwoing this schedule, two
~litters can be produced each year
so that they will be ready for mar
keting in September AMI April re-
~spectively, when prices are usually
highest.
The ideal marketing weight for
a hog is around 200 pounds,
Shay added.
Growers raising hogs for home
consumption may vary their
breeding date, but if they plan to
sell some of their hogs, Shay said
it will pay them to follow the
recommended schedule
Where pigs were fdrrowed in
September, they should be weaned
in October and early November
The weaving process should start
by giving the pigs access to corn
and fish meal or tankage. Afte,
about four weeks they should b
taken completely away from thu
sow.
Castrate the male pigs before
they are completely weaned, Shay
recommended.
| A self feeder, in which feed may
be kept before the pigs at al
times, will hasten their growth

z Units Have
No Law At All
Must Call Special SEES
sions To Share Imme-
diately In Social Sc
curity Program

Washington.-A study of old
age pension laws was reported to
have convinced officials that more
than IS states must call special
sessions of their Legislatures IN
the next month or so if they are
to share Immediately in old-age be-
nefts of the social security law.
Two of the twelve states that
have no old-age pension laws
Virginia and Mississippi-have reg
ularly scheduled sessions in Janu-
ary. Officials connected with the
social security board said Kentucky,
the only other state that has a reg
ular session opening in January,
will have to change her old-age
law to conform to Federal require
ments if desiring the benefits.
Only one other states Legisla-
ture meets in 1886 in regular ses-
sion. 1t is Louisiana, which has no
old-age pension law and whose
next regular session is in May.
While studies of the state laws
were said by officials to be incom-
plete, they believed that virtually
all of the 2S states that had pen
sion legislation before the Federal
law was enacted will have to modi-
fly their statutes in some respect.
Officials said that even Delaware
whose pension law is one Of the
most liberal, probably would have
to make minor alterations in order
to meet the requirement that half
of the amount collected from the
estate of pension recipients be paie
to the United States.
While the skeleton staff so fal
assembled by the security boare
had not been able yet to complete
its examination of the laws in
those states, some officials felt the
last w to enact pension meas
ures might meet the requirements.
These were Arkansas, Rhode Is
land, Vermont, Connecticut, Mis-
souri,, Illinois and Florida. Their
statutes were written while the
Federal law was pending and in
most cases they were drawn along
lines prescribed by the Federal law.
For this reason, officials felt that
their laws might be found to make
them eligible from the outset for
Federal pension grants.
The II states which have no old
age pension legislation are Alaba-
ma, Georgia., Kansas, New Mexico,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia.

Sometimes Best Not
To Sell Weed Cards

Tobacco growers are being warn
ed not to sell any part of their
allotment cards without consulting
their county agent.
The agents will advise the grow
ers whether it will be profitable for
them to sell the unused part of
their cards, said E. Y. Floyd, OF
State College.
This year, growers who sell par,
of their allotment cards will not
receive the adjustment payment
Whether a grower should sell de-
ponds upon the amount he would
receive as an adjustment payment
az compared with the total amount
for which he can sell the unused
part of his allotment card.
Since the adjustment payment
ale based upon the. amount of
tobacco sold, and the Prhce re-
ceived, Floyd eplained, only
qualified authority can determine
the amount of each growers ad'
justment payment.
Consequently, Floyd said that nj
grower can afford to sell any par
of his card without consulting hi
county agent, and he should no
sell any without selling all Of tn
unused part.
Sales of allotment cards must b
made through the county agent t.
be legal, Floyd added, and the az
ents have been instructed not t.
sell any part Of a card unless the,
cal sell all that has not been USE
by the grower to whom it wa
issued.

NO UPSETS
The proper treatment
for a bilious child
C1EHx
TO RELIEVING

ANY mother knows the reason
~ when her child stops playing, eats
little, is hard to manage. Constipation.
But what a pity so few know the
sensible way to set things right
The ordinary laxatives, Of even
ordinary strength, destroy all hopes
of restoring regularity.
A liquid laxative is the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need:
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving of their own
accord and need no help.
This treatment will succeed with
any child and wih any adult.
Doctors use a liquid Laxative.
Hospitals use the liquid form. If it
is best for their use, it is best for
home use. The liquid laxative they
generally use is DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin. Any druggist has it.

Chicago Mayor
In Political
Charity Racket
BY a Worker Correspondent


CHICAGO, Ill. - Chicagos own
Christmas Fund, sponsored by the
Honorable Mayor Eddie Kelly and
his political henchmen among the
business and civic leaders" of the
community for the reiterated
purpose of providing warm clothing
for all the city's needy at Christ
mas time, has been clearly revealed
to these thousands of people as a
despicable piece of demagogery, cor
ruption and graft, and has done the
good mayor no little harm politi-
cally.
Boxes of warm clothing" de-
livered to the unemployed workers
were found in many cases to have
been rified enroute from the store
room to their miserable homes. and
in some cases more than half the
original contents had been removed
Since deliveries were made by Kelly
policemen and minor politicians, ii
is not difficult to imagine by whom
the rifling was done.
SO many complaints of this typical
Kelly plundering were made that ii
finally became necessary for the
mayor, in desperate effort to save
his political neck, to set up a ere
ception committee" whose duties are
to interview complaining workers
and issue orders on the store-room
for stolen clothing so far as pos
sible.
AS further gesture of good will
toward these oft-robbed and long
suffering workers, as further evil
dence of his unusual and hereto
fore unnoticed greatness of heart
Kelly's henchmen were instructed
to present, Immediately upon de-
livery of each box, his petition for
the Spring Mayoralty campaign
which the receivers of his bounty
were requested to sign. Many re-
fused to sign, and many who did
sign, casting sidelong chances at torn
and rif1ed boxes, did so with tongue
in cheek.
Shortly after Christmas, the local
capitalist press carried glowing pic
lures of Kelly standing beside a
ceiling-high stack of. signed petit
tons, and announced that as a
result of widespread public de
mand' he had finally decided to
enter the mayoralty race. The
mayor was smiling, but somehow
the smile seemed little forced. Per
haps he had already realized that
Christmas boxes may become boom
erangs, and that when Spring rolls
around to Chicago again those
stacked petitions, pushed by the
hands of thousands of awakened and
Disputed workers, may tcpple down
around his ears.
There are few workers left in
Chicago who believe in this capitalist
Santa Claus who brings hunger
misery and rif1ed gift-boxes, but
there is day by day an increasing
number who pin their hopes for next
Christmas and every other day in
the year on certain Karl Lockner
who will run for mayor on the
Communist ticket and on his COM
rades in the United Front who will
run for other city cffices

Wrong Diet
Is Relief Aibi
For Starvation

CHICAGO, Ill.-Admitting in eff
feet to the local capitalist press that
many Of Chicago's unemployed are
undernourished and suffering from
malnutrition, Scott E. w. Bedford
local relief head, today declared this
condition to be a result Of unwise
spending of the pitifully small bud
gets allowed by the Relief Admins
tration and individual lack of
knowledge as to what foods furnish
the most in nutritive value.
Totally ignoring the fact that
fruits, although a necessary part of
any diet, are to a large extent de-
MED relief clients because of high
prices outside the range of their
meagre budgets, he announced
They are buying too many oranges
and other fruits, when they should
be Duying fish, eggs, milk, etc.
Win milk at nine cents the quart,
eggs thirty to forty cents per dozen
and fish at proportionately high
prices, he neglected to state Just
how these items could be purchased
within the present allowed budget,
but contented himself with declar-
ing they should be purchased.
He also stated relief clients we're
not properly balancing their pur-
chases against the surplus food or
ders for meat and butter furnished
them in addition to their regular
budgets. Considering the well known
fact that very often a relief client
must scour the city on foot to find
a store supplied to fill these orders
even partially, and sometimes finds
1t impossible to get them filled at
all for long periods of time, this
statement assumes its real signifi-
canoe as a demagogic publicity
stunt to cover up recent and con-
templated relief cuts.
You workers of Chicago who have
tasted oranges and other fruits"
only occasionally the past three
or four years, you who would only
too gladly buy fish, eggs, milk, ETC."

could-what is your answer to this
