Of last year to evade a provision Of
the Reorganization Act that went
into effect on July /, 1899, and
"froze" pay in all agencies affected
by the act for a year.
Mr.. Elliott's decision was given to
the Railroad Retirement Board,
another F. s. A. unit.
Concurrently, it was announced
by the United Federal Workers of
America that delegation from the
local lodges headed by Eleanor Nell
son. national secretary-treasurer,
yesterday had urged on the Budget
Bureau that personnel not be
affected by the current effort under
way to save on appropriations in
the non-defense agencies.
Reports had reached the union.

$40o o,000,000 was contemplated and
it was feared this would entail pay

He warned, however: "Of course
there would be no authority to pro-
mote an employe, either by advance
in grade or within grade, for the
purpose Of offsetting the effect Of a
reduction required (by the act). so
as to enable the employe to escape
any or all of the consequences of
the required reduction"
The provision was written into
the bill by the House Appropriations
Committee which charged that the
Social Security Board-an F. s. A.
unit-had made excessive promo
tions in 1889, and conceled every
thing over two-step advances with
in grade on all agencies financed by
the appropriation.

the Social Security Board, admitted

WINDHAM PLACER PROJECT WEARS
 OPERATION DATE
Strange "Hard Rock PIdt. CT" Job Progresses
 on Shuek River

Sluicing operations at the Alaska Placer Lakes diggings at the head of the Shuck River in Windham Bay, enc of the strangest placer projects in the history of the in- dustry, are scheduled to get under way about the first of October.
 According to veteran placer man L. J. Johnson, in charge of the op- erations. a little more road work on the 7l5 -mile tractor trail from the beach is necessary before opera tions get under way.
 The company is working high in the hills. holding three successive lake basins, the lower two filled with water, and the upper enc dry ex- cept for a small stream.
 To begin operations, the com pany is tunneling through a narrow wall" of rock separating the middle lake from the upper basin, which contains in Johnsons opinion about a million yards of gravel.
 This gravel, about thirty feet deep, will be sluiced through fifty foot tunnel coming in at the lower end of the basin from the middle basin.
 Three boomer nGzzles will sluice thu gravels through over two lines cf s'uice boxes floored with steel rod rifles. A diverter at the head of the line will make it possible to clean up one box while gravelS go down the other.
 Johnson believes the pay runs about dollar yard" and shows assay sheets that give almost fabu- touS returns from concentrates heavy in tellurides.
 Coming into this basin are IT streams, Johnson says, and he de clared he got pay from all but one of these feeders.
 The company plans to sluice this basin dry and then proceed to the next lower basin and so on to the lowest, each of the two to be drained by tunnels before sluicing gets un- der way.
 1 A guest at the Juneau hotel, John son expects to go out on the Dart this week to return to the property He came to town last week to se' cure repair parts for the tractor.
 A crew of fourteen men is on tho job and will work until snow con ! ditions stop operations, Johnson said.

SCHOOL INSPECTOR MAY BE APPOINTED
John F. McGOugh Likely Choice of Commissioners
 at Mondays Meeting

Appointment of John F, McGough as school buildings inspector is ex- pected to be made at the next meeting of the Board of Education Monday night.
 Members of the schoolhouse com- mittee said today "they wouldn't be surprised, if McGough was re- appointed at Mondays meeting" The appointment, however, has been a matter of certainty" for so many past meetings, when actually no action was taken, that 1t would not be surprising if the same thing hap pened Monday.
 It is not known whether a suc- cessor to Joseph Colloty will be named Monday. MT. Colloty, for years director of physical education in the grammar schools, resigned early this week.
 A story in the Bridgeport Herald stating a sensational probe into teaching conditions here would be made by the board proved news to commissioners. The story stated a probe would be made into the situation whereby many teachers allegedly held two jobs.

Mayor Vincent A. Scully said to- day that he had discussed the ap- pointment of 8 new superintendent of welfare with Rev. Dr. Eugene P. Cryne, chairman of the welfare board, but that no decision on fll- ing the vacancy had been reached The mayor indicated that he plan ned to talk with Dr. Cryne again before the welfare board meets on Tuesday night to act on the ap- pointment.
 The mayor has not yet decided whether or not he will make any recommendation to the welfare de- partment in regard to the appoint ment. Any such recommendation would naturally carry great weight with the board.
 More than 8 half dozen applica- tions for the position have been re- ceived by the mayor, and the names of number of other possible ap- pointees have been advanced for consideration, Martin F. Hayden acting superintendent, is considered the favorite for the appointment.
 If MT. Hayden is not appointed the choice might be Henry c. Beg nal, former Waterburian now al Washington, D. c. He is one of those who has applied.
 The vacancy in the position was caused by the recent death of Miss Grace L. White, who had been the superintendent since Jan. 1, 1889 The post pays Q salary of 5000 a year.

(Continued from Page D evidence printed unless they get a favorable ruling on their motions next Tuesday.
 Judge Ernest c. Inglis, the judge who presided at the conspiracy trial, one of the longest trials in the states history will hear the mo- tions in Hartford on Tuesday.
 Thus far only five of the appellants in the conspiracy case have filed mo tions to have the expense or the printing borne by the state. They are Henry Minor, former Corpora tion Counsel Charles s. OConnor, Philip Coppeto and James Meaney, George H. Kingsley, the latter two of New York.
 It is generally expected that such motions will be filed by some appellants who have not thus filed either this morning or Mon- day. -
 This will mean that attorneys representing those who file motions will have to be in the superior court in Hartford on Tuesday.
 In all of the motions thus far filed the petitioners seek to have the state bear the printing expense on the ground that they are financially unable to do so themselves. The mo- tions set forth that under the state statutes they are entitled to the right of appeal and set forth that inasmuch as the men involved are unable to bear the expense, the state should pay.
 Many of the men who are ex- pected to file motions are known to be financially embarrassed as a re- suit of the expenses of their trials which includes their lawyers fees and other legal expenses. In addi- ton to this the men were without employment during the trial of the case and some of the men have not worked since the trial started over Q year ago.
 The printing of evidence is ex- pected to take about IS weeks and ] 1t is generally conceded that the supreme court will not hear the ap- peals before next fall.
