to support the Herbert bill to estab-

ing secretary. who made the motion,
pointed out that the measure would
centralize the District children's in

Of Public Welfare.

the Commissioners and the corpo-
ration counsel to present legislation
to Congress providing for the office
of recorder of deeds to be filled by

8. An acceptable promotion sys-

In defending himself at the rally
Mr.. Lie maintained that he had
fought "alone" in vain against the
reduced budget and appealed for q
halt to corridor rumors about the
secretary general"
Il am not a tyrant," he shouted
I'VE have SIS employees. If you at
tack me you will never succeed"
Big Issues Neglected.
Mr.. Lie said the management
problems had been taking up SC
much of his time that he had ne
elected such issues as Palestine ano
other pressing political matters. He
added he had been criticized In

Council chamber).
Mr. Lie said he hoped all that
would be over with Mr.. Prices ar

Byron Price 10 Face
Problem Of Employees
Complaints in U. n.
BY III. Asseeiet.d Pres.

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Mar. IL.
When Byron Price reports for
work here next week as an assistant
secretary general of the United
Nations, he will inherit a series Of
management headaches that have
been pihng up for several months.
MIR. Price. taking over a $4,000
post under Secretary General Trygve
Lie, will handle the Department
of Administrative and Financial
Services replacing the resigned John
B. Hutson.
The bulk of the United Nations diff
ficulties with the staff started last
fall when an economy minded Gen.
eral Assembly slashed the budget
from $50, o,000, 900 to $4,000 600. With
standard expenditures eating up a
big share of the financial outlay.
this meant the burden of the cut
would fall on the nearly 5000 en-
ployes.
MIR. Lie has now taken two drastic
steps to save money. He let it be
known taht up to 500 persons would
be dropped from the pay roll and
that per-diem allowances would be
cut sharply.
1900 Hold Mass Meeting.
The general unrest came to
climax last night when nearly 1000
staff members held mass meeting.
There Mr.. Lie fatty rejected de-
mand for an immediate pay increase
in the lower brackets. He also put
aside two other minimum demands"
of the Association for the Staff of
the United Nations, an employe
organization, for upward revision of
the whole salary scale and increased
allowances by June Is.
Mr.. Lie then literally dumped the
whole problem into Mr.. Prices lap
with this statement:
IT hope Byron Price can take
over all your problems
In moving to cut the staff Mr..
Lie said he was following orders
from the Assembly for a $50 per
cent reduction" He also said that
France and Belgium specifically had
objected to the overwhelming num-
ber OF Americans on the payroll.
Most of the dismissals were &hed-
uled in the lower-pay brackets,
where Americans are predominant,
it, was learned.
Personnel ALLEGATION on a geo.
graphic basis has been difficult
from the first because it was vir-
tually impossible to get persons to
come here from other countries for
the lower paid jobs. However, the
u. N. has succeeded in reducing the
percentage of Americans roughly
from 10 to 40.
Complaints of Staff.
The complaints of the staff in
clude these:
1. Salaries are too low and have
not kept up with advancing living
costs in this country.
2. Abolishing or cutting the per
diem allowance of ST for nonresi-
dents will force employees to dig into
savings to live.
3. Transportation conditions are
poor to the headquarters here,
which is not on the railroad or regu-
lar bus lines.
4. The working conditions are
poor in the sprawling former factory
building, which is without daylight.
S. The sole cafeteria in the build
ing is not satisfactory.
g. Housing conditions are made
quate because u N. employees can't
afford to live in the apartments be-

American Mother 1916

We believe that the visit recent

left us - Portland with a great
er desire and determination for
better race relations.
AS the American Mother, Mrs.
Clement has proven to the nation
that women of color can and do
make Christian homes, rear fine
children, cultivate good manners,
possess culture, refinement and
education to as high and in many
instance higher degree than those
of the white race.
1t has taken time we agree-but
most of all an opportunity.
We also believe, that Mrs. Gle
ment's talk directed to the young
people of Bethel A. M. e. Church
at the installation of the A. c. E.
Leagues new officers. will be an
inspiration for better home, social,
and religious life. There were
ideas to parents also as Mrs.
Clement shared her wealth of ex-
perience in rearing and educating
her seven children.

JACKSON STREET COMMUNITY COUNCIL
UNITED FOR The WELFARE OF ALL

adults and children alike.
The raising and improvement of
health standards in the Jackson
Street area is the aim of the
Health Committee. A specific in
stance of their achievement was
an anti-tuberculosis drive, in which
approximately 1000 persons were
x-rayed.
The Welfare Committee con-
Germs itself with the means by
which the problem of juvenile
delinquency can be met. It hopes
also to make services mare readily
available to meet problems of a
personal or family nature.
Matters of employment and
other questions pertaining to the
welfare of the community will call
for the establishment of addition
al committees. In order to inter-
pref the work of the Councili to
the residents of the neighborhood
as well as to the city as whole,
a Public Relations Committee
seems of great Importance.
The fulfillment of this program
depends on a participating mem
bership led by active civic lead
ers. Within the Jackson Street
area there are many potential
leaders. These leaders from all
groups in the neighborhood CO.
operating for a common goal are
the guarantee for the creation
of a better community.
1t is through such an organiza-
ton as the Jackson Street Com
munity Council that a greater
measure of happiness and dignity
can be brought to the individual
through an effective program of
community planning.
