& ¢ Ll S PERSONNEL BOARD IGNORES UNIONS Clerks’ Groups or Lawyers Will Not Be Heard, Rating Official Announces. The Personnel Classification arbiter of the salaries of Govern- ment workers, will have dealing with labor unions, lawyers or representatives of the Federal em- ployes concerned, it was fla an- | nounced today by Chairman VanLeer | of the board. His statement followed quic the heels of the disclosure Jast v that the board has refused to do any business with the women's union of the Bureau of En and Print ing in connection with its appeal on behalf of several hundred women at the bureau for higher salaries. Fight Prospect Looms. Prospect of a fight with the Na Federation Fedes Employe: loome toda a preliminary ment.! authorized by Luther Steward, president of the federation. bitterly attacked the positiun of the hoard. A letter from ti- board is in the mails addressed to- ¥iss Gertrude Me Nally, secretary of t#e woman's union and of the national federation. The board today declined to disclose the text of the letter. Refusal of the board te the appeal of the union on 1 the employes does not, that the case is clos emploves themselves, it was explained by Capt. Van Leer. It means that no outside agent or organization may represent the emploves, he said. The Women's Union appealed a re hearing of the allocation of emploves of the wetting and printing divisions of the hureau to a higher payv. The board previously denied the petition of | the women themselves, and the union then took up the fight. Holds Rights Denie, Luther Steward in his attack on the position of the hoard declared that the board “thereby assumes a differ- ent attitude from that of any other agency of the Federal Government in declining to receive and consider statements made by employes through their chosen organization representa- tive. “The denial of such a right.” said Mr. Stewart, “is an attempt arhitra- rily to deprive emploves of the right to collective presentation of grievances #pecifically recognized by congres- sional enactment. It offers on its face further convincing proof of the continued unfitness of the Personnel Classification Board, *as at present constituted, to administer the classi- fication act which created it. The National Federation of Federal km- ployes readily accepts the challenge 50 clearly directed at the funda- mental right of Federal employes to present their grievances collectively through representatives of their own choosing in the manner contemplated by law, and will take the necessary steps to carry the issue to whatever point may be necessary in defense of the right so arbitrarily denied.” “Hearsay Is Reason.” Chairman Van Leer said the decision in the case of the women’s union was in line with the volicy adopted by ithe board which will deny the right to any employe to be represented by ;any lawyer or agent. Anything such a second person would say, Capt. Van ¢Leer said could be only “hearsay.” Such persons do not came =0 much to present the facts as to “argue” in consides alf of mean gainst the | a w« THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Returns to Old Tth [ | | Board, | other | b TOMMY" TOMPKI Who will return to the ith Cavs where he served 30 years, for last command hefore his retirement, DOUGHERTY LAUDS FIRE SPEED TEST | upr Commissioner Praises Com- paniss and Agrees to Present Cups.
