ASKS PRESIDENT'S AIDFOREMPLOYES Labor Executive Requests Coolidge’s Inquiry Into Dis- | missals of Machinists. Investigation of the merit system | and its operation in the Government Printing Office is sought in a letter to President Coolidge from N. P. Alifas, president of District 44, Inter. uational Association of Machinists, written on October 7, and made pub- lic_today. The letter cites the cases of seven ists of the Government Print- ing Office, three of whom had been employed there for 25 years or more, who recently were discharged, and it contains charges that In making these discharges “the evidence shows that little or no attention was paid to the eflictency of the workmen concerned, the interests of the United States Government in retalning competent workmen was not considered and that long and faithful vice was not given any welght.” The appeal is for the Civil Service Commission to be instructed to con- duct such an investigation. Says Merit System Prevails. Depaty Public Printer John Greene, absence of Public Printer arter from the . today sta so far as he knew, the merit system had always been rigid- in the Government and that when m, as handed ta €. Bascom Slemp. Mr. Alifas stated today, who referred it to Public Printer Carter before presenting it to the President. After reading it, Mr. Alifas said, Mr. Carter returned it Wwith the note that a hearing would be given by him on any specific charges which might be brought. Mr. Alifas pointed out that the men discharged already feared to further imperil their chances at the Govern- ment Printing Of by making af- fidavits merely to Mr. Carter and that preferred a non-partisan, non- sed agency such as the Civil Ser ommission to take up the matter. Cases Are Outlined. The letter outlines the cases of the seven men discha as follows: “On September 1924, seven ma- chinists were discharged for lack of work, out of the total force of ap- proximately 44, under circumstances which indicate that their selection was not based upon their merits as workmen. The names of these men, together with their length of service at the Government Printing Office, are as follows cretary Name. John J. Doheny E. Wolfe o Charles H. Newton William Kiernan .

By the first public Initiation in the history of Washington 75 candidates will become members of Argo Lodge, Independent Order of B'nai Brith, to- night at Eighth Street Temple. The occasion will bring together Protestant, Catholic andww and the speakers will be fraternal orders and church denomi nations, including Rt. Rev. James Freeman, Episcopal Bishop of Wash- ington: Roe Fulkerson, representing the District Grand Lodge of Masons, and Assistant United States Attorney General Leo A. Rover, representing the Knights of Columbus. Dr. Abram Simon, rabbi of Eighth Street Temple, is to preside and will speak on “The Purpose of This Cere- mony.” It was on the suggestion of Dr. mon that Argo Lodge planned its pub- lic initiation, “that the public should know there is nothing secret or self- ish in the aims of B'nai B'rith, and to show in a measure the similarity of purpose of our fraternities in pro- moting loyalty to country, God and tellow man.” It was explained today by Hyman M. Goldstein, general chairman of the arrangements committee, that not ing would be omitted from the regu- lar B'nai Brith initiation, 1t will be the largest class of can- didates in the history of Argo Lodge, which now has membership of about 400.

Praising the part that chambers of commerce and other trade organiza- tions play in the upbuilding of the E. Frecman in an address at 10th annual banquet of the National Association of Commercial Organiza- tion Secretaries at the New Willard Hotel, last night said that the stand- ards of commercial life and integrity where higher than ever before and expressed his confidence in the con- tinual progress of civilization. He stressed the necessity of religion in every phase of activity and point- ed out that the country's leaders realized this fact. “A minister in a metropolitan district could not aurvive unless he had some knowl- edge of economics,” declared Bishop Freeman, discussing the greater growth of understanding between the business man and the clergy. Importance in Fundamentals. Bishop Freeman urged taat there was great importance attached to getting back to fundamentals after 25 years of drifting away from the fundamentals. “If the war did noth- ing else than make us re ze that we are.the United States of America it was worth the sacrifice” he stated, pointing out that prior to the war the country was a more or less col- lection of 48 Sovereign States, each one of which was not interested in the other. He stressed the necessity of maintaining a unity on the part of the American people, in all phases of the nation’s life.
