MARRIAGE LAW

ECONOMY

Despite an avowed objective Of
economy, most Of the persons dis
missed from Government jobs un-
der the Civil Service marriage
clause Of the economy act Of
June 80, 1881, were replaced by
other workers, q survey prepared
by the Women'S Bureau Of the
Department Of Labor indicated
today.
According to the Labor Depart
n1ent study, four-fifthS Of 581 cases
studied showed that the jobs had
been filled or that the agency took
on additional personnel. In many
cases, the bureau reported, the re-
hiring had occurred shortly after
the diSmissalS had been an
ssssnced.
It was largely among the lower
brackets that the "ax fell" the re-
port revealed. Over one-fourth
OF the 643 persons who answered
the bureau questionnaire had
earned less than $1,500; one-half
got between $1,000 and 81 300 and
more than so per cent Of the men
and more than 10 per cent Of the
women were on basic salaries of
less than $4,000 per year.
By basic salaries, the depart
ment explained, was meant the
salaries before deduction for re-
tirement and for the economy pay
cut.
Not only were the sufferers
lowiy paid, but they were veterans
Of Government service as well, the
Women'S Bureau stated. Over two
thirds Of those whose cases were
diagnosed had been in the Fed
eral employ 10 years or longer.
One-tenth Of 698 people studied
were so years Of age or more, 38
per cent were at least 40 years
old and nearly 80 per cent were
35, but under 10.
The later status Of the dis
missed workers was not shown to
be encouraging. OF 673 individu-
ais, 90 per cent were unemployed
while another Is per cent were
making less than before.

LABOR RIFT FLARES
IN MEXICAN OIL ROW
Rival Federations Again Quarrel
Over Threatened Walkout
in Petroleum Fields,

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, November 26.-Old
animosity between rival labor fedora
tions f1ared up again today over the
threatened strike of oil workers.
The Regional Confederation of Mexi-
can Workers &C. r. o. NJ demanded
the right to participate In parleys
between the companies and the Con-
federation of Workers of Mexico
&C. T. M oil syndicate.
The c. r. o. M. contended the
C. T. M. syndicate's proposals, con-
tanned in a suggested blanket labor
contract, demanded the right to con-
troll stevedores on oil company docks
whose unions were affiliated with the
c. r. o. M.
Twice-delayed negotiations were
scheduled for late today. Persons
in close touch with the situation saw
the possibility a strike might be
averted. They said the syndicate's
leaders were worried in the belief they
were on shaky legal ground. The
companies reply to the strike threat
contended most labor contracts in
the oil industry were not yet subject
to revision, which the Mexican labor
law authorizes only every two years.

Encounter Out of Town.

Fired by a three-fold ambition, the
Colonials Of George Washington Uni
versity marched against the Noun
taineers of West Virginia at Griffith
Stadium today in the greatest of all
G. w. home -comings.
A crowd of $4,000 or more was
presaged by the strongest advance
sale in Buff and Blue history. The
kickoff was set for o'clock.
Hard bent upon equaling the record
of the 1908 team, which won seven
games, tied one and lost one. the best
record in G. w. gridiron annals, the
Colonials moved into battle as firm
favorites.
They were determined to equal or
better the showing made by George
town against the Mountaineers who
lost to the Blue and Gray, % to o.
On the outcome of today's battle may
rest the top ranking for the District,
with only George Washington and
Georgetown still in the running.
Kelley Moan Chief Threat.
Taken by surprise by Georgetown,
the warriors from the hills come to
town today thoroughly prepared in
every way for the toughest sort of grid
strife. Their principal hope of vic.
tory lay in the uncannily accurate
right arm of Kelley Moan, forward
passer extraordinary, who also runs
and boots the pigskin with uncommon
skill.
Hoping to match the Mountaineer
ace was George Washington's Joey
kaufman, triple threat and a star
in all of the Colonials' big games this
season.

Pixlee, head coach at G. w., we've
got to stop Moan. If our fellows can
hurry his passing, their job will be
made easier by plenty" BY rushing

cept three passes and score three of
its four touchdowns.
G. w. Has Three Goals.
To equal the 1908 record, made dur

record for attendance are the Colo
mails aspirations.

coo, they needed 22,500 customers this
afternoon.
This Is the final contest for both
teams. West Virginia, beaten in its
last two games by Georgetown and a
strong Western Reserve eleven, moves
against the Buff and Blue in danger
GUS mood. A triumph over George
Washington would go a long way to-
ward making the Mountaineers forget
those two recent trimmings.
