Prince Otto's restoration has re-

RESIGNATION PLAN
Calls on Membership Of
A. F. G. E. to Pass on
Change at Convention.
BY J. A. FOX.

E. Claude Babcock, president of the
American Federation of Government
Employees. today offered to relinquish
Office pending determination of recall
proceedings instituted against him yes
terday by the EXECUTIVE Council on
charges Of political activity, but at
the same time called on all members
of the federation to vote against the
recall and allow the annual convention
in Detroit, in September, to pass upon
the case.
With his call to the membership
Babcock submitted a formal fesigna-
ton on which the convention could
vote
The Executive Council had adjourned
late yesterday after three day session
at the Hamilton Hotel but all but two
OF the members still were here, and,
following receipt Of Babcock's offer.
they sent a committee to call upon
him at federation headquarters. Some
definite determination was expected
later in the day.
At Office Though Ill.
Babcock, stricken with a heart at
tack yesterday afternoon while the
council was discussing a proposal to
suspend him during the recall pro-
ceedings, came to his Office today de-
spite the orders Of attending physi-
clans to remain abed day or two.
In the meanwhile. the recall ma
chinery had been started in motion.
when Internal Revenue Lodge here
last night voted for a poll.
Under the rules of the federation, IS
per cent of the lodges must recommend
recall proceedings before the issue is
put before the individual members for
their action. A majority vote of the
membership then is necessary for
custer.
Babcock's statement to the member
ship today follows:
ITO All Lodge Presidents, A. F. G. E.:
THE National Executive Council has
demanded my resignation and has re-
quested the lodges to institute recall
procedure against me.
THE recall, If voted would take
about all the time between now and
the convention; it would also result
in many statements harmful to the
interests Of Government employees and
to our federation.
Form of Resignation.

the convention and turned it over to
the national secretary, in the following
form:
"'The National Convention of the

Taxes for Relief

The suggestion of Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma
that District taxes may have to be increased in order to
meet the huge local bill for relief is not pleasant
IT COMES SOMEWHAT AS A SHOCK TO RAISE
NOW THE PROSPECT OF INCREASING TAXES
FOR NEED WHICH SHOULD BY THIS TIME BE
CONSIDERABLY DIMINISHED.
The of relief is appealing and which
ordinarily would command the ready sympathy of
those who have to pay the bill.
But the average WashingtOniGn fails to under
stand Uy the relief rolls have not diminished and
Uhy the bill hasn't been cut in UieIU of the otherwise
prosperous conditions WIich prevail in the city.
The local officials, it may be presumed, are just
anxious to cut the relief rolls the taxpayers yet
they assert there is genuine need for money than
there is any real prospect of getting Congress to a
propriate.
The House Appropriations Committee feels that the
only way to cut the relief rolls is TO CUT THEM
That is way but it is not the humanitarian way.
IT WOULD BE FAR BETTER IF THOSE IN
CHARGE OF RELIEF AT THE DISTRICT BUILD
ING WOULD FIND SOME MEANS OF GETTING
THESE PEOPLE BACK INTO LEGITIMATE WORK
It is almost nconcevable that with business and in
dustral activity at high point and with Government
payrolls vastly increased this city cannot reempoy
large part of the approximately 10000 persons now on
relief.
