EXECUTIVE GAG"
Protest Cites Districts Right

Interests.

Attacking the so-called gag" order
recently issued by President Roosevelt
as an illegal attempt to control legls-
lation, the Federation of Citizens AS
sociations last night protested against
it to the White House and Congress.
The Federation maintained that the
disfranchised citizens of Washington
are entitled to have their municipal
officers protect their interests in pend
ing legislation.
Provision for District
"The Federal Constitution neither
provides nor contemplates that legis-
lation for the District of Columbia
may be so dominated or controlled
by the President, but confers ex-
elusive legislation for the District of
Columbia upon the Congress" stated
the report of Law and Legislation

George E. Sullivan.
Sullivan explained that the execu-

plo.es OF Feceral ana municipal gov

policy matters, until their actions are
ascertained to be IN accord with the

SINS OF MAN-Obviously an at
tempt at a serious" and powerful
movie, Sins OF Man" succeeds merely
in being dull and phoney, with Jean
Hersholt buried under the unhappy
burden of an u%nconvincing character
The story concerns the endless trials
and privations Of a Tyrolean church
bell ringer (Hershol) who winds up a
lifetime OF suffering as a bowery dere-
lict. A typical sappy sequence is an
interview between Hersholt and a
clergyman, who tells him that famine,
death and wal may be all for the best
and that the Lord must have his rea-
sons for visiting these pestilences on
his children. Which ought to give you
some idea OF what to expect.

BOARD CERTIFIES
RAILROAD PENSIONS

JULY 1.-THE Railroad Retirement
Board yesterday stated that it intend:
to certify some pensions to the United
States Treasury in spite OF the adverse
decision OF Justice Jennings Bailey on
the Railroad Retirement Act in the
District Of Columbia Supreme Court.
June %.
The court ruled both the Retirement
Act and its companion measure ~levyine
a 81 per cent income tax on employees
and a 81 per cent payroll tax on roads,
unconstitutional
However, in a supplementary state
ment July /, Justice Jennings held that
the Railroad Retirement Board might
carry or its work through the $47. 0O0,-
600 appropriated from the United
States Treasury to initiate pension
payments while funds accumulated.
He stated that the roads could con-
tinue collection of the 81 per cent tax
on wages and segregate this until the
United States Supreme Court rem
dered a final decision, indicating a
move to place the entire cost OF fed
eral pension on the men.
With living costs increasing, the de-
mand for a non-contributory pension is
making itself felt. The precedent for
such pensions, with roads paying full
cost, has long been established, but
amounts have been meagre and there
is no national guarantee.
The 81 per cent deduction from
wages have been made by the roads for
the past 3 months without payment of
interest to the men. The same was
done when the previous Retirement
Act was awaiting decapitation by the
United States Supreme Court. At that
time the roads profited in interest from
worker contributions by almost half a
million dollars and unless protest is
made the same usury will be continued.
In spite of five years of legal effort
by organized railroad labor and ex-
penses OF hundreds of thousands of
dollars, legality Of the Railroad Retire
ment Act remains uncertain.
Sentiment for a national strike bal
lot swept the unions when the United
States Supreme Court declared the 1884
act unconstitutional. The present
ruling OF the District OF Columbia
Court registers still greater sentiment
for a strike ballot and for curbing the
arbitrary powers of the courts.

SINCERITY.

Sincerity is the very foundation ston
OF true friendliness. 1t is also a hui
man trait that is hard to counterfeit, as
the sincere friendly impulse comes
from the soul OF a man and not from
the calculating mind. Think kindly
and friendly thoughts. II you have a
heart and soul, why be ashamed of
them. Bring them into the shop, the
office, and your daily life. The hand
may be cunning, and the head may
contain the brain that can conceive the
most brilliant thoughts, but every good
and worthy impulse comes from the
heart. Strengthen your faith in men,
think kindly Of them, believe that they
are your friends, and in the long run
they will be.-Raymond Congrieve.

Dear Sirs and Brothers
One of the ~staunchest friends Of la
Dor in the House at Washington, is
Joseph P. Monaghan.
In our fight for the two bills Great
ing the Railroad Retirement Board
and providing a tax to pay pensions,
Joseph P. Monaghan rendered a serv-
ice that cannot be over estimated.
He joined hands with US and went
out and worked for those bills as
though he was a member Of II Legis-
lative Committee. He was on the lob
of lining up members OF the House and
Senate at all times, arguing for our
cause and prevailing upon them to
vote for our pension bills,
1t is not too much to say that he
was largely responsible for the pas
sage OF those bills.
Efforts such as these prove the met
tie Of a mar and give US assurance
that we may rely upon him at all
times.
Therefore, request and urge that
you do all possible 10 aid Joseph P.
Monaghan secure the nomination for
United States Senator in the primary

for him as he worked and voted for
