ing up it's first convention at Almas
Temple.
Senator Mead suggested that the
delegates seek support for the leg
iSlation. Jacob Baker, president Of
the federation, also urged that the
groups from the various States call
on their Senators in behalf of the
measure, and it was decided to do
this. The federation is asking that
the bill cover w. P. A. administra-
tive employees, who were excluded in
the House.
The bill has been in the Senate
since February, when it passed the
House.
Constitution Adopted.
One of the final acts of the con-
vention was adoption of the consti-
tuition under which the federation
hereafter will operate. Adoption
was climaXed by a 15-minute DEM
onstration during which the dele
gates paraded through the hall,
cheering and pounding on tables
with wooden seat markers.
The constitution provides that the
parent c. I. o. Will continue to
appoint the president and secretary
treasurer of the federation until it
becomes self-supporting Those Of
fees have been held, respectively
by Mr.. Baker and Eleanor Nelson
since the organization was formed
three years ago.
The constitution provides also that
cit is not a policy of this organiza-
ton to engage in strikes or picket
ing"
A seven-point program ito help
make the Federal service a real
career service" also was incorpor-
ated in the constitution.
Favors Five-Day Week.
This includes IAN adequate mini
mum wage'-the figure of $1,000
later was specified in a resolution;
five-day, 35-hour week; regular
salary increases and full opportu-
mites for promotion; merit in the
selection Of personnel; security from
discrimination on the part of
supervisors" adequate old-age and
unemployment security without ex-
ceSSive charge to employees"
A long list of resolutions embody-
ing proposals for improving working
conditions also was reported. One

certain Government administrators
and called upon the President and
Congress Ito correct these backward
and un-American conditions"
