WEEK PLAN
DENIED
BY ]. EARLE MOsER

Any prospect that Government
personnel would be placed on q
four-day week or a five-hour day
by passage Of the Ramspeck leave
measures has been decisively de-
MED by the American Federation
of Government Employees in con-
nection with its statistical chart,
issued late yesterday under copy
right.
Presented as an eleventh hour
appeal to Congress for action on
the bills, the chart was compiled
from $3.50 cases taken at ran
dom, with proportionate percent
ages applied to the total Of Fed
eral personnel.
As High as "a
According to the table, there
are 3s5,547 general Government
workers, exclusive Of 255, ,226 field
Post office employees who get q
4O-hour week by virtue Of the re.
Gently enacted Mead bill, and
76,939 mechanical and crafts peo
ple who get Une Same under the
Thomas amendment of 1884.
Of the general" group, how
ever, the chart reveals an eStl
mate of 1929 working 80 hours
per week (the minimum allowed
under law), with the remainder
working A hours or more. The
chart also points out that an estl'
mated total Of 38,254 of this type
of employe "puts in" between "a
and "a hours each working week.
Other facts pointed out by the
AFGE compilation are:
l. The general group would
receive less leave than before

Ramspeck bills are passed; for
mer leave was 30 days for sick
and annual, under the leave
bills it would be Is sick and 30

of leave authorized by law.

Suggestion for
Liquor Control Board
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
In the early days succeeding the
repeal of the Eighteenth amend
ment the necessity Of an adequate
competent, and conscientious body
of men to comprise an efficient
LIQUOR Control Board was adVo'
Gated for the various States and
the District Of Columbia.
The optimistic press Of the DIS
trict boastfully announced that
such a Liquor Control Board
would be selected as would be ca
pable and conscientious and ne
a pattern and example for the
States of the Union to follow ana
initiate.
It is readily admitted and un'
derstood that some Of the men
comprising the wholesalers, manu-
facturers and retailers OF the
LIQUOR business are the clevereSt
at law.breaking and law-evao1ng
Of any business in the country
hence it is perfectly apparent tnat
the body Of men selected to con
troll them ard make them toe the
line in respect to operatlns
strictly within the law, should ne
selected with a view to their aoll'
ity to do it. =.
The A. B. C. Board consists OF
three commissioners appointed by
the District Commissioners ana
no doubt they are the best tnat
could be got, but what about the
staff Of field workers?
Attempts were made to ring IN
political appointees to fill the
places of eight projected inspec,
tors, but that plan was squelcneo
by the action Of Congress Wh1cn
would not grant the necessary
appropriation to pay them. The
A. B. C. Board, at its wits end
to get the competent men neces'
sary to do this work, had to fall
back on the District police to DO
it. Now with all due credit to
the police as policemen, they are
not gaugers and are not trained
to do the work of the gauger, who
has always been the bete noir OF
the crooked whisky man. There
fore getting unframed police to
do this liquor work is illogical.
More than that il is inconsistent
in view of the fact that repeated
efforts have been made to increase
the police force, for crime pre-.
vention, but here again they could
not get sufficient appropriation.
Then why deplete the police
force by putting them on the A.
B. c. Board work, which they do
rot understand. at the expense OF
the crime prevention force?
The Federal Government has
always used, and still uses highly
trained technical men Of the sub
professional class in the Civil
Service to do this work. These
men are called GaugerS, Store
keeper-gaugerS and inspectors.
These men thoroughly know their
work and are familiar with all
the crooked liquor-dealers' tricks.
Thanks to the provisions of the
iniquitouS economy act many of
these men are now out of posi-
tions and are available for and
ideal men for this liquor control
board work.
