MONTCOMERY'S
ROAD FUND CUT

SILVER SPRING, Nd, Aug. "a.
Montgomery county faces the loss
Of approximately $4,000 in road
funds during 1888 through diver
sion of a part of the State lateral
gasoline road tax fund by the
State Roads Commission, Com
missioner Paul M. Coughlan de-
clared here today.
Coughlan said that according to
a statement received yesterday it
is estimated that approximately
$14,000,000 will be received by the
State from the gasoline road tax
next year, of which $4,100,000 is
being diverted to other than road
improvement.
OF the amount taken from the
tax fund $2,30O,Ooo has been
labeled debt service, Coughlin
said, while $1,sOO.00O goes into
the general fund and can be used
for salaries or any other purposes,
and the counties suffer the loss,
For the fiscal year which ends
on September 80 Montgomery
county will receive approximately
$135,000 as its share of the gas
tax fund. According to Commits,
sioner Coughlan, while next year.
due to use of a part of the fund
for other purposes, the county
will receive about $4,000, al
though gasoline sales will increase
throughout the State.

formal announcement would not
be made for at least a week and
that he would then also make
public his platform.
Even since Mayor Howard Jack
son, of Baltimore, announced last
month that he would run for the
governorship, Sasscer has been
recognized as a formidable con-
tender for the Democratic nomi-
nation. Although the senator has
steadfastly refused to commit
himself on the matter, he is
known to be favorable.
COUNTY MAN URGED
For the past two weeks Sasscer
has been travelling throughout the
State discussing the political set
up with the State party leaders
and has said that he is convinced
the people Of Maryland want q
county man for governor in 1888
The position has gone to Bal
timorean since the first election
of Ritchie in 1919.

While it is generally recognized
that working people need some
sort of sinking fund tn take care
of their needs after retirement
from industry or Government
service, these Federal employees
are completely cut off from such
protection.
They are not permitted to par
ticipate in the retirement fund
which takes care of the majority
of Government workers, ana by
the wording of the Social Security
act they are Gas Government en-
ployes) prohibited from sharing
in that act.
Grim Hun1or
And the grim humor of the sit
uation is that a large part OF the
Government workers VINO cannot
participate in either one nor the
other form of social security are
working in New Deal" agencies.
, Those workers who have a hand
in shaping the course of our new
philosophy are themselves over
looked.
In addition to New Deal agency
workers, attendants in Veterans
Administration hospitals, rs per
cent Of whom are war veterans,
are not afforded any protection,
nor are the custodial employees Of
the Post Office service or the
Treasury Department.
These latter groups consist Of
the lowest salary grades, and in
clude those persons most urgently
in need of some form of insurance
for their declining years.
In commenting on the condition
of these workers, Charles I. STEM
gle, president of the A. F. G. E.,
declared that unless the situation
is remedied before Congress recon-
venes, he will seek legislation to
take care of these obvious ills.

Lloyd-La Toilette
Jacob Parker, U.F.W.A. presi.
dent, took the occasion of the
twenty.fifth anniversary of the
passage of the Lloyd-La Toilette
act, today to release a bit Of prop
uganda. Here is some of it:
- Government workers should
not let this day pass without
some commemoration of it, for
it, in a sense, guarantees to Gov.
eminent workers rights that,
: though widely accepted today,
at one time were denied COM
- pletely. The Lloyd-La Toilette
act was passed in 1912 after
gag orders issued by Govern
ment administrators threatened
to quarantine Government work
ers completely from the other
citizens of the United States. It
acted to restore to Government
workers right to civic action
both on their own behalf and on
the behalf of the Federal Gov
eminent that had practically
De-, been taken from them.
within the Is years these
rights have now been estab-
1ished securely, but not so Sc
curely that apathy might not
threaten these fundamental
rights again.
How important these funda-
mental rights are economically
to Government workers is made
plain simply by pointing out
/ that every Federal employee
gain in the last Is years has
been secured by the exercise of
80 the rights guaranteed to Fed
, eral employees under the Lloyd
La Toilette act.
IT, ''It is the distinction of the
United Federal Workers Of
America that in it's first two
months Of existence it has Sc
cured from the administrator
of the Federal Government a
clearer and more complete def
Q. milton of the rights of Govern
ment workers than has ever
been achieved before. The
