Washington. May 1.-The recent increase
in the price of living and the Increased
demand for skilled lahor have made an in
crease in wages. This condition is being
felt in the executive departments it is
stated. for in some Instances the salaries
and wages in the departments are less than
IN private establishments The result. is
that many per diem men IN the Government
pertments are Kicking If not striking.
and some of the salarled men are resisnin-
snd the civil service is finding some trouble
TO find eligibles who will accept Governrnen ut
work. The first and second class machiu-
lists. in the navy yard get higher per diem
pay than those in the departments. and the
result is that men are resigning from tie
departments. 1t is argued. however. that
the employees in the executive Departments
get thirty days leave pc, year, and they
may be paid for thirty additional days is
