Chosen Vice President
At Atlantic City
BY J. A. FOX,
e. CAaH GnrraennnA Annf

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. a.
Cecil E. Custer of Washington,
assistant budget officer of the Civil
Service Commission, today was elect
ed president of the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees, at
the final session of the eighth con-
vention here.
Succeeding Charles I. Stengle. who
is retiring, Mr.. Custer polled 1882
votes to 2,603 for James A. Campbell
of Cincinnati, vice president, who
later was reelected to that post.
Another Washingtonian, James G
Yaden, was elected to vice presi-
dency, succeeding Charles T. Hoff-
man, who is slated to become treas
urer, the post held by Mr. Custer
several years.
Mr.. Custer, member of the
District of Columbia bar, is a ma
tive of Pennsylvania. and made his

home in later years in Martinsburg,
w. Va. He is Al years old and has
been in Government service since
1918.
In placing Mr.. Custer in nomina-
ton, Mr.. Yaden took occasion to
deny rumors he said had been cir
culated that the new president in
tended only to serve for three
months under a leave of absence
from the commission, and then re-
turn to Government service to pave
the way for Yaden himself to head
the Federation. Mr.. Yaden said
that Mr.. Custer is resigning from
the commission and intended to
make the presidency of the Fedora
ton a career"
Charles I. Stengle, former member
of Congress from Brooklyn, will be-
come legislative representative of
the Federation, his appointment
being scheduled by the Executive
Council at a meeting after ad-
journment.
The convention last night re-
iterated approval of several legis-
lative items that have been pressed
in the past. and was ready to COM
plete consideration of resolutions
embodying other principles to be
urged on Congress.
The Federation again urged these
employment benefits:
Minimum wage of 81 500 for full
time employees; automatic promo
tions: five-day week; elimination Of
the average" clause in appropria-
ton bills that serve to restrict pro-
motions within grade; extension of
Civil Service to all but policy FORM
ing positions, and elimination of the
requirement for Senate confirmation
Of postmaster appointments.
Funds Urged for Program.
Congress also was urged to grant
to the Civil Service Commission suf-
f1cent funds to carry out the Civil
Service improvement program con-
templated in President Roosevelts
order of last year. The last session
Of Congress refused to allow this
appropriation.
Without discussion yesterday, the
Federation voted to expel any men,
Der lined up with a movement "hav-
ing as Its objective the overthrow
of the constitutional form of govern
ment Of the United States by force"
and to revoke the charter of any
lodge refusing to expel a member
under these circumstances.
The issue which confronts every
convention of the A. F. G. E.-the
proposal to nominate vice presidents
In district conventions instead of at
the general convention-bobbed up
again, but was defeated by ratio
OF about 10-7 in total vote exceed
Ing 1900. A sizable group of field
delegates have been agitating for
this change, contending it would be
helpful In stimulating interest in the
organization among field workers.
After speech on personnel mat
ters by Harry B. Mitchell, president
of the Civil Service Commission, DR..
Charles Thomas OF Washington, a
delegate from the colored depart
mental lodge, who is active in the
affairs of his race in the Capital
4 told the convention his lodge had
carefully sifted charges that the
commission Disseminated against
the colored races and found such
allegation had no basis.

10 LnH-Yield Bonds.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 24.-Long ne
elected leaders of the bond market
felt a fairly broad buying impulse
today and pushed ahead for gains
ranging to around 2 points.
United States Governments which
had been moving up consistently
while the rest of the list Jagged,
sold off little in light dealings.
Traders ascribed the improved
buying interest in speculative cor
porate issue to belief the trend
might turn upward soon in antici-
patton of industrial recovery under
the spur of a new Felerad lend
spend program, as rumored in
Washington reports.
Principal gamers near the final
hour included Delaware & Hudson
As, Baltimore & Ohio 412s, Great
Northern &c" As of AS, International
Telephone SIS, Studebaker 6s, South
ern Railway As and Western Union
IS of go.
Some inactive rails and miscel-
laneous issues climbed 2 to more
than points.
Foreign loans also improved gen.
orally with the best advances in

Steel Industry Feels
Bitter Chagrin' Over
e-Cutting
Operations Show Guin
After Settlement of
Coal Dispute
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 24.--A feeling
of bitter chagrin' in the steel in
dustry over recent price-cut COM
petition was reported today by Iron
Age.
AT the same time, the magazine
pointed out: "As a result of the
settlement of the coal situation and
the heavy bookings of sheet and
strip at reduced prices during the
past two weeks, steel operations
have gained in some districts, bring
ing the rate for the industry as
whole to 48 per cent of capacity, a
gain of 212 points over last week"
Concerning the price cuts, Iron
Age said: Attempts to estimate the
amount of tonnage that was booked
during the recent bargain days are
made difficult by the fact that many
buyers made commitments with
more than one mill, but it is gen.
orally admitted in the trade that
bookings were nearly as large as
those of last fall. -
THE aftermath of the price
debacle is bitter chagrin among the
steel companies that two such pc
riods of unbridled competition
should have occurred in about the
same manner within eight months
and that the return from large ex-
penditures in continuous mills
should not even pay the actual cost
OF rolling the steel, let alone return
on the investment. =
"As business stands now with
the steel companies, they have large
bookings of sheet and strip, fair
bookings of tin plate, structural
steel, reinforcing bars and some
unshipped tonnage of rails and track
accessories and moderate amount
of pipe business"
The Iron Age scrap composite
price remained at s14.0S ton. de-
spite rises of so cents a ton at
Youngstown and 25 cents at Cleve-
land
