Out in Cold, Still

Just what happened to the
Coast and Geodetic waterway
mapping project, that employed
more than 2,500, 800 of them in
Washington, for almost a year,
was explained yesterday to a dele.
CATION from the Federation OF
Architects, Engineers, Chemists
and Technician3, by Col. E. W,
Clark, assistant administrator OF
PWA.
Colonel Clark explained that
funds for continuing the work,
which ceased about 80 days ago
due to mo cash." had been
pledged by PWA to the amount of
1901 900. He added, however, that
due to the failure of WPA to allot
the balance necessary for support
Of the activity had caused PWA to
support other projects. Colonel
Clark also revealed that remaining
PWA money is to be used on non
Federal projects.
The delegation was also ad'
vised to contact Secretary Of Com
merce Roper on the subject of OBJ
tanning a special appropriation,
either from funds on hand or via
congressional action, to carry on
the work. When in operation 1t
kept large numbers of scientific
workers gal 'ully employed.

A. F. G. E. to Expand

Three leaders of the American
Federation of Government EN-.
ployes are to handle details OF
the forthcoming convention IN
Chicago, early in December.
which it is hoped by the A. F.
G. E. will iron out all obstacles
to the affiliation of State, county
and municipal workers with the
Federal organization.
E. Claude Babcock, president:
Cecil E. Custer. treasurer, and
David r. Glass, charter presi'
dent, are expected to open the
meeting at the Hotel Harrison
December 10. Municipal en-
ployes of Seattle already have
been tentatively accepted as
Lodge 1,001 in the A. F. G. E.
and application was received
yesterday at the Unions central
office from the Minnesota State
Federation, which will be as
signed No. 1902. Numbers from
/ to 1000 have been set aside
for straight Federal Government
groups.
According to Lee Somers, for
mer newspaperman who now
holds an executive post with the
A. F.. G. E., the outstanding
problem of the coming conven-
ton will be to get the new
groups into the fold in such a
manner that cooperation with
the purely Federal wing will be
possible without either type Of
organization claShing with the
other.

Isn't So Bad

In the opinion OF the majority
of workers, there is plenty to be
thankful for despite Congress
lack OF action OF behalf of the
clerks in its last session. The
leave bills almost surely will go
through in January, the new eff
cheney ratings are hailed as at
least the best that can be had
under the present system, and of
greatest Importance is the fact
that the condition of Uncle Sans

ment job continues to be about as

might be desired.
