WASHINGTON, January 0-The Senator'S
have voted each private Secretary, who ID
paid S. day from! the Senate Contingent
fund. They are by no means certain OF
keeping these private secretaries, however.
There has been good deal Of talk about
these private secretaries among members
Of the House, and one member OF that
body, the bounding Z slford, Of Colorado,
has prepared a.resolution to provide each
member OF the House also with q private
secretary at 81 ZOO q year. :, But there ia no
chance whatever: :oi its passage.
The Democratic members talk in a very
outspoken manner about 1t. They say that
It is no more nor less than; voting so much
increase Of pay to Senators and members.
A member Of the House has more need Of
a private secretary than Senator II be

would have been q much better course. in

salary thousand q year. The bill In which
there is an appropriation for the Senate

prepares this bill. There is likely TO be d
deadlock between the House and the Sen.

private secretaries OF Senators. This will,
Of course. bring clash between the two
bodies. The Senate is a great stickler for
It's right to. FIX the pay Of i,s employe de-
spite what the House may think about it.
But there is a determination among mem.
bers Of the latter body to make a big fight
to deprive the Senators Of their private
clerks. Il will be an interesting fight,
