MORE BIC0I1
(Continued from Pasie Six)
and just deserts.” j
Following former Governor Os- |
born’s address, President Stewart ;
expressed his great pride in the or- j
ganization, declaring that all fed
eral legislation that has improved :
working conditions in the govern- j
mental service had been instituted i
by and carried out under the direc- '
tion of the National Federation of j
Federal Employes. He stated that
“Public service is not a place of re
fuge for derelicts—but rather for
the highest and most efficient type !
of workers”. Mr. Stewart emphas
ized that the N. F. F. E.. is a bona- j
fide labor union and that the mem- |
bers were proud of the fact, stating |
that on September 17, 1917, the j
American Federation of Labor j
granted a national charter to fed- j
eral employes in the name of the
first convention stating also that j
the object of the N. F. F. E. |
as being “to advance the social and
economic welfare and education of
the employes of the United States
and to aid in the perfection of sys
tems that will make for greater ef- j
ficiency in the various services of
the United States.”
Any person employed in the civil
branch of the government, the
District of Columbia or the insular
postal service are eligible for mem- :
possessions, except those in the
bership.
It is noted that President Stew
art finished his address by saying,
“We realize the enormity of our
task—and it is for this reason that
we are met in national convention.
I am sure this convention will mark
another distinguished milestone to
ward the end that the government
cf the United States shall be con
ducted as well as the greatest in
the world.”
SHORTAGE ICE NORTH POLE
LONDON, Sept. 30 (JP)—Theory
that insufficient ice around the
North Pole caused the drought in
England this summer was advanc
ed by Dr. C. E. P. Brooks, a meteo
rolgist. He said that dwindling in
the ice areas weakened the atmos
pheric circulation over the north
ern hemisphere, thus lessening the
number of Icelandic storm centers
responsible for England’s usual
rains.
