AFL COUNCIL TAKES up move to
reinstate Lewis mine union.

BY JAMES Y. NEWTON,
Star Staff Correspondent.

MIAMI, Feb. 8.-The AFL Ex-
ecutive Council today announced
of plans for formula
ton Of a council of Federal work
ers' unions to coordinate the
fight of Federation affiHates for
better pay and working condi-
tions for Government employees.
A meeting to organize the new
council, to be called the Affiliated
Government Employees Council, will
be held in Washington February %,
with representatives of the dozen
AFL Government unions attending.
AFL President william Green de-
clared that one reason tor organiz-
ing the council was to resist what he
described as "raiding" of AFL union
by the CIO United Federal Workers.
Proposal Offered by Doherty.
He pointed out that the CIO had
determined to give all-out aid" to
organizing Government employees.
The proposal to form the council
was made by w. c. Doherty, presi-
dent of the National Association of
Letter Carriers, AFL vice president
and member of the Executive Coun-
Gil holding midwinter meetings here.
Mr.. Doherty has issued invitations
to the organization meeting and is
in line to head the Federal council
AFL estimates its Government
employe membership at 100000, the
overwhelming majority of them In
the postal service. Besides the letter
carriers, unions forming the new
council include American Federation
of Government Employees, the Ma
tional Federation of Post Office
Clerks, Railway Mail Association
National Federation of Mail Han
dlers, special delivery handlers, elec-
trical workers, machinists and
others.
Mr.. Doherty attached secondary
Importance to any fear of CIO com.
petition as reason for forming the
council. He said the move was "pri.
marily to cement Federal forces il
AFL, particularly on the legislativ,
'front.'" He added the council woule
give first priority" to the fight fol
reclassification and higher pay fol
Government employees.
"AFL Federal unions" he said
have been divided through tn,
years, and very frequently their OBJ.
jectives have conf1icted. We intenc
to correct that situation"
Field Called Fertile"
Mr. .Doherty said the council may
be expected to direct an intensive
drive to organize Government,
workers. He described the field a.
very fertile" and said work so fal
to unionize most branches of thu
Government was "pitiful."
Proposed constitution of the coun.
Gil lists numerous objectives in tht
planning for better Government
through steadily improved working
conditions" and states that "mutua
understanding between all afilliatet
groups will lead to common action
In a common cause"
Another portion of the constitu.
ton reads that "it shall be def.
nitely stated that no known member
Of any un-American, pro- -Commu-
nistic, pro-Bundist or pro-Fascist
organization of fellow-traveler front
organization shall be admitted as a
representative of any union"

Symptoms Of Rabies
Found in Mongre| Dog
That Bit Three Bows

The Health Department announced
that brown mongrel dog, reported
to have bitten three boys Monday,
had clinical symptoms Of rabies.
The announcement was followed by
a statement by Health Ofieer
George c. Rutland that 1T is out
rageous that public conscience is
disposed not to conform to the
Commissioners order prohibiting
dogs to run at large"
This indifference" DR.. Ruhland
added, 'is damnable and pernicious
to public safety" ~
The boys were treated at Proyi-
dence Hospital and have started
taking antirabies vaccine at Gal
hnger Hospital.
Proposes Sitter Fee.
The department said Robert Tom
linson, 1, of 622 Maryland avenue
S.W, was bitten on the right hand
and on the face while on the side
walk at his home. John Grayton,
Z, and his 8-year-old brother, Abra-
ham Grayton, of 943 Maryland ave-
nue. SW., also were bitten on the
face while playing in the neighbor-
hood.
The three boys will be given q
antirabies treatments instead of
the customary IA treatments be-
cause the bites were on their faces,
the department said.
Poundmaster Frank Marks yes
terday proposed that owners of dogs
taken to the pound be required to
post S. forfeit at a police precinct
before redeeming the dog at s. in
the pound. Redemption costs in
other cities are frequently SO or
more, he said.
The corporation counseps Office
is now studying recommendations of
DR.. Rutland calling for the COM
pulsory vaccination of dogs as a
prerequisite for obtaining the an
nual license and for an unspecified
increase in the redemption fee.
Fears Noncooperation.
Meanwhile the Commissioners
have received a copy of a letter
sent DR.. Rutland by Leonard A.
Fentiman of 1719 Evarts street NE.
complaining that under compul-
sorry vaccination system some dog
owners will not cooperate and
these nonvaccinated animals will
be free to roam into areas where
owners have complied with your
proposed law" Mr.. Fentiman pro-
posed increasing the license fee tc
obtain additional revenue to rid the
streets Of stray dogs.
In asking for vaccinations DR.
Ruhland pointed out that 36 rabid
dogs were found in the District in
the last three months and that q
persons were bitten.

NeW Agency Works
With Other u. S. Bodies

Under General Hines was created
a policy board made up OF repre-
sentatives of the various govern
ment agencies whose functions fit
into the picture, the purpose being
to make use of existing government
agencies insofar as possible rather
than to create new ones. The agen-
cies represented on the board are.
labor, federal security, war man
power, selective service, the war de-
partment, navy department, war
production board.
This board has general super
vision of all activities affecting the
returned veteran or the discharged
war worker and it consults with con-
gress on matters which would pro-
mote the processes Of readjustment.
Specifically this is a large order
for it involves getting jobs, getting
the right job for the right man;
training for Jobs, training the right
man for the right job and assuring
an expert and sympathetic handling
of the process, from the human as
well as the economic standpoint. 1t
also deals with all the multifold
benefits and rights of the CT Bill of
Rights, already dealt with at length
in these columns.
The man on whom most of the
responsibility for carrying out the
administration work has fallen so
far is c. w. Bailey, executive sec
rotary Of the policy board.
Following the theory Of utilization
Of existing agencies, the board i'm
mediately turned to the three gov
eminent agencies which we're al
ready engaged in activities similar
to those, or including those which
the r. & r has to do; namely, selec-
tive service with its $500 offices in
all parts Of the country through
which virtually everyone who en-
tered the armed services had to
pass; the United States Employ

channels carrying the war workers

WASHINGTON digest
Plan for Local Offices
10 Aid Rehabilitation
Vets and Civilians Problems Would Be Tackled
In Own Communities; Unemployment
Is Major Goal.
WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, D. G.
BY BAUKHAGE
Gus Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, D. G.
These days it is popular to criti-
CHE Democratic methods for their
lack Of speed. The legislative mills
do grind slowly as we have noted,
with many OF the measures delay
ing readjustment to the peace to
come. But in the case Of the first
steps toward preparing for de-
mobilization which have brought up
such hearty disagreements, It so
happens that, quite unobserved by
most observers, the machinery has
been grinding steadily ahead just
the same.
This was achieved by executive
order, and, on the surface at least,
it appears that work has been done
while congress was disagreeing.
Since February "A, when the execu-
tive order creating it was issued, the
Retaining and Unemployment adj
ministration has established more
than 5000 information centers which
will be the contact point with dis
charged veterans and war workers.
It also erected the framework Of a
system which can be expanded to
take care Of the peak demands when
rehabilitation starts in earnest.
These information centers are the
vital points OF contact between gov
eminent agencies and the citizen,
veteran or civilian who is starting
on the road back to peacetime
existence.
The philosophy back of this whole
readjustment plan is based on the
idea that man or woman can best
be served by his own friends and
neighbors. The government, local or
federal, helps, but the local COM
munity whose own prosperity de-
ponds on the prosperity and happi-
ness Of its members, is the best Of
guides, philosophers and friends.
The Retaining and Reemploy-
ment administration is the child Of
the Baruch-Hancock report, which is
lengthy document embodying the
results Of long study and presented
as suggestion for appropriate
legislation. Since the lawmakers
were slow in their laW-making, the
President issued his executive order
under his war powers.
He put the new administration I'M
der the Office of War Mobilization,
its head, Mr.. Byrnes, named Gen
eral Hines, head of the Veterans
administration, as Administrator Of
the Retraining and Unemployment
