22 “ASKS RESTORATION FOR U S WORKERS Heflin Bill Seeks to Aid Resi- dents of States Whose Quota Is Short. Former Government employes from States whoss quotas under the appor- tionment, law are in arrears, and who have beéh diopped because of reduction in force, would be restored to duty under a bil introduced in the Senate by Senator Heflin, Democrat, Alabama. The bill also would require the neces- sary reductions to be made from among residents of the District of Columbia and States having more than their quote in the service. The bill further would require reinstatement of any ex- service men. Another section of the bill seeks to extend the spportionment law, which now applies only to appointment, to promotions and reductions. Offcials of the Civil Service Com- mission have pointed out on former oc- castons that it has been impossible since the war to make the apportion- ment law operate effectively because of reasons beyond the commission’s con- trol. It has been pointed out that the commission experiences difficulty in ob- ¥aining applicants from many of the distant States to accept positions in ‘Washington, particularly the lower salaried positions. During the war there “f2re more jobs than applicants, which upset the apportionment, and since the war the preference given to veterans has affected apportionment. The bill was referred to the civil service com- mittee. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT 70 ASK MORE FUNDS Sought to Get More Attorneys for Dry Cases—Request May Total Million. By the Associated Press. Plans of ‘the Government to enforce the prohibition Jaw more effectively in- clude the allotment of more funds to the Department of Justice, if recom- mendations® to be made to the House appropriations committee are approved by_Congress. It was said at the department to- day that a request for additional money, possibly a million dollars, was being pre- red by the Budget Bureau and that probably would be sent to Congress along with the Treasury’s request for an additional $2,500,000 for the Prohibition and Customs Bureaus. One of the chief complaints from rohibition enforcement officials has n that they could not secure trials in the Federal courts. Recently, they said, 21,000 cases were pending in the courts, with no prospects of cleariry them up. The additional funds will be used by the department, it was understood, in employing additional attorneys to handle prohibition cases in each of the con- gested districts. FIGHT FATAL TO STUDENT.
