PAPER

MEMBERS
BY ]. EARLE MOSER

Perhaps it's because Of the
summer heat which annually
hits Federal employees in Wash
ington, or perhaps it's because
President E. Claude Babcock's ex-
tended leave has cut off his fiery
editorial rumblings, but the fact
remains that membership of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees has placed the
Government Standard ION the
pan"
The Standard, as many work
ers in the service know, is the
official house organ of the young
A. F. of L. organization. Issued
weekly in the form of a tabloid
newspaper, it usually consists Of
four pages, but upon occasion has
risen to eight and even to IL at
one boom period. Carrying con-
siderable circulation, half of it
national, the little sheet boasts
plenty of advertising, is well
made up and is unusually read
able.
Criticism that has been grow
ing since early in 1885, however,
is drawing to a head among sew
eral local lodges of the A. F.
G. E. The paper has too little
punch" and carries mot enough
news" in the words of one mill.
tant spokesman who placed his
charges right out in union meet
ing, despite the presence Of .
representative of the national Of
flee, where they put out the
weekly.
According to the members who
seek its reform, the Standard
should be permanently enlarged
and made the most important &C.
tivity of the A. F. G. E. national
office, instead of the subsidiary
one they feel it now is. Much
revenue now devoted to radio
broadcaSting, they say, should be
used to augment what has proven
to be their most valuable organic
ing weapon.
The criticizing element has over.
looked one item, however. that is
difficult to explain. That is that
contributions for the weekly sheet
have been constantly invited from
the membership with negligible
response, so that the national Of
flee is wondering what news"
it is expected to manufacture if
members do not take the trouble
to forward their interlodge hap
peningS.
Attacks on the Standard make
It the second Federal union publ
cation to draw fire. At the Vel
lowstone Park parley Of the Ma
tional Federation Of Federal EN-
ployes certain field locals sug-
gested abolition of the monthly
magazine, The Federal Employe.
in favor of a weekly paper, saying
in general that the magazine was
dull. This was voted down, how
ever, but the magazine since has
been revivified and popped up"
until 1t is a first-claSs example Of
a publication Of its type.
