NEW YORK, April 16.-It might sur
prise some of us to hear that, for all
our troubles in this country, the United
States enjoys the envy of every nation in
Europe with the exception of Great Britain,
which is now in the throes of BOOM and
that millions of people would leap at a chance to
come over and share our poverty with us.
The British seem not to envy anybody, for they

lean Federation of Government
Employees that will be submitted
to the Seventy-fifth Congress early
In January.
The platform, passed by the or
ganization's convention in Detroit
during September and now before
the American Federation of Labor
for approval, also asks statutory
automatic increases in salary and
demands a five-day week Of 35
hours with no decrease in pay.

AS usual, extension of the merit
system to all employees will be re-
uuested as well as extension OF the

gram as we'll, although the success
Of this item looms doubtful in view
of expressed opposition of House
Civil Service Chairman Robert

Other items are abolition Of
mandatory charges for quarters,
food and laundry to certain work
ers, mainly in the Veterans Admin
istration; application of night
salary differential to all positions
requiring night shifts, and aboli-

The platform is now being sent
to all members, and will be pressed
after January 4 by President
Charles I. Stengle, assisted by w. j.

employed by the A. F. G. E. to act
as Colonel Stengle'S "right-hand

that many of the other demands
will be nullified by the expected
congressional drive toward greater

Cotton futures steadied somewhat
in late morning trading, cutting
early losses slightly. The market
continued dull with prices hold
ing in a narrow range.
Scattered liquidation from the
South, spot houses and New Or
leans met fair demand particu-
larly in the nearby positions.
Foreign interests including Liver

taking the staple. The trade con-
tinued a good buyer with pur-
chases made largely in the old
crop months.

fact that the Government pool is
selling more than the $4,000 bales
of pool cotton offered to the
trade on February IL.
Towards noon there was little
