C., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1925. 1S WORKERSPLAN * W LEBSLATON Bills for Aid of Federal Em- ployes Prepared for Congress. ‘With the return today of the ex- ecutive officers of the National Fed- eration of Federal Employes from the eighth convention of the organization, held in Boston last week, the legisla- tive machinery for bettering the con- ditions of employment in the United States Government are being set in motion.
