Clerk Rights
In Schools Up
Tomorrow

When the Board of Education
meets tomorrow it will consider a
resolution submitted three weeks
ago by the District School Cleri-
cal Association to Superintendent
of Schools DR.. Frank w. Ballou
providing maternity leave rights
equal to those given school teach
ers.
A District school teacher, the
resolution points out, is reinstated
after childbirth at the same salary
as when she resigned, but clerks
and stenographers have to begin
all over again at the minimum of
their salary class.
The board permits a minimum
of IA months absence during preg-
nancy and after childbirth for
both teachers and clerks.
Other considerations asked by
the Clerical Association are sick
leave with pay for all employees in
capacitated by any kind of illness
or injury or who are forced to stay
at home because of a contagious
disease in the household.
Added strength was given to the
associations fight for equal rights
with teachers by District Auditor
Daniel J. Donovan who said he
would approve a temporary ap-
pointment to fill clerks position
during her absence and reinstate.
ment of that clerk to her original
position when her leave expires.

U. S, COMPLETES
PERJURY C A S E.
AGAINST CREECH
Defense Starts Fight
In Mine Trial

Prosecution in the perjury trial
of Ted Creech, son of Harlan
county (Ky) mine owner, rested
its case at noon today.
Chief Defense Counsel William
E. Leahy Immediately began his
opening arguments to the jury.
The jury is expected to read the
4,5O0-word tome, written by a
"ghost writer" and purporting to
be a history of the checkered
career of the Governments star
witness, Richard C. Tackett, one.
time deputy sheriff in the strike
ridden coal region.
One witness, who already has
testified, is to be recalled by AS
sistant United States Attorney
David A. Pine, he said last night
and, after brief questioning, will
be excused. The Government will
then rest.
Probably more interesting than
any other evidence he will present
will be the Tackett Lonesome
times referred to as a statement.
and at other times as a news
story.
CHARGES THREATS
1t was written after Tackett re-
turned to Harlan county and
while he was in the Harlan county
Jail. Tackett yesterday said that
a young woman newswriter from
New York had interviewed him in
jail and made up" the story from
the interview. At any rate, before
he signed it, Tackett said he had
been threatened with death and
Offered some money"
Only brief sketches of the state
ment have reached the jury up to
the present time. From these
sketches it has been inferred that
Tackett repudiated his entire testi-
mony before the Senate commit
tee that resulted in the alleged
threat by Creech, the denial of
which caused the latter's indict-
ment.
TELLS OF DRINKING
Tackett also says in the state
ment, which was sworn to before
a notary public and witnessed by
a priest when it was signed, that
while he was testifying before the
La Toilette committee and pre-
sumably held in the District Jail
at night, he was given whiskey
and marihuana cigarettes and was
not in his right mind when he was
before the Senate probers.
His crosS-examination at the
hands of Chief Defense Counsel
William E. Leahy kept the court
spectators in stitches of laughter
as the droll mountaineer prosaic-
ally matched wits with the veteran
lawyer.
TWICE COURTMARTIALED
Tackett had admitted that he
was courtmartialed in the Army
twice and that he had served three
years. Leahy asked him how he
could have been dishonorably dis
charged twice in one enlistment
II joined up twice. Thought
you'd ketch me on that one,
didn't you?" Tackett replied.
When Leahy pressed Tackett
for the date of his last enlistment
Tackett said it was after he mar
ried. When the attorney pressed
him regarding the marriage
Tackett said:
"Well, I have been married
three times, so you haven't
caught me yet"
The witness glibly admitted hav
ing been twice incarcerated in in
sane aSylumS and having beer
convicted of crimes.
There has been no indication as
to when the defense will complete
it, case. Leahy stated last night
that he would probably present Il
witnesses and perhaps more.

CHARWOMEN'SPA
INCREASE SOUGHT.
Special Delivery Messengers
Would Be Benefited by
House Bill.

Bills to give full-time employment
at q regular salary to special delivery
messengers in the postal service, and
10 fix the pay of charwomen on an
annual instead of an hourly basis,
we're introduced late yesterday, and
referred to the Civil Service Committee.
Representative Reuben T. Wood,
Democrat Of Missouri, sponsored the
measure to extend the civil service to
special delivery messengers. This pro-
poses tull-time employment Of one or
more such messengers in each post
office where the postmaster certifies
there Is need, and the number In each
office is to be fixed by the Postmaster
General.
The proposed salary is $l,700 for the
FIRST year, $1,000 for the second year
of satisfactory service, $1,000 for the
third wear and after three years of
proven efficiency the salary Is to be
$4,000. There is also a provision that
where a messenger furnishes his own
automobile he will receive $3.50 addi-
tional.
Representative John W. Mccormack.
Democrat of Massachusetts,, proposed
the annual basis pay bill for char
women, working part time--to receive
$1,000 At the present time, he ex-
planned, charwomen working part time
receive so cents an hour. thus receiv-
ing an average of $40 to sl2 a week.
Most of these women" said Nc
Cor1nack, "are widows and have fami-
lies dependent upon them. or are
placed in a situation where they must
20 to work in order TO keep their
little families together. Charwomen
employed in the State and city services
receive considerably more compensa-
ton than that paid to charwomen in
the Federal service. While other
groups of Federal employees are enti-
tied to consideration. there is no group
of employees more entitled to consider
alton than this group Of fine women,
who should be paid on an annual
basis, rather than on an hourly basis. "
Representative Sol Bloom of New
York introduced bill to give certain
employees of the War Department
credit under the retirement act for
services rendered as telephone oper-
ators between November l, 1918, and

finds you have thoughtfully hidden

captured, he bites as last resort to
gain his freedom.
This woodland hunter prefers to live
In hedgerows in the fields and does
not really object to occupying the
residence of his neighbor, the little
flying squirrel, or his human brother.
He really prefers nuts and seeds. But
he can acquire a fondness for almost
anything edible. And when hungry!
What a lot of havoc the family can

the trap has been sprung. that all

his outside nest, in the thick tangles
Of catbriers or where a wild grapevine
affords q winding stairway TO the
ground. These adobes, fashioned by
them, are very globular in shape and
composed of dried leaves, moss and
grass. The small architect places his
door on the lower side where you
would least expect an exit. So watch
the stairway or the ground when you
tap at his dwelling. Perhaps he may
think 1t wise to poke his nose out and
wiggle his wise whiskers. His large,
intelligent eyes will size up the situa-
tion in a trice.
