on Sunday he gets half of the day be-
fore and the next day after. He gets
his money regularly and knows HIS job
is secure as long as he behaves him
self. Most of the work is purely me-
chanical: copying letters. taking die
tation, following established rules and
precedents or filling out printed forms.
Most of it is well paid, exceedingly
well paid, when the class of work and
the amount accomplished, the easy
hours and the vacation periods are
taken into consideration. The trouble
is that the limit is too small to at
tract active, energetic young men. Let
congress gradually establish a line OF
positions paying from $4,000 to $4,000 d
year. to which clerks can be promoted
and ii will do more good than any flat
increase of ten per cent for good. bad
and Indifferent clerks alike. Govern
ment clerks should remember one
thing and that is that the fat goes with
the lean. Those who were receiving
$1,000 from 80 to 80. and those who are
now getting the same amount should
remember that during the former per-
iod they received their money regu-
larly and their positions were secure,
where others were out of work and the
price of everything was very low. At
time when hundreds of thousands of
men were out of work. the writer was
getting $50 a month for sealing enve-
lopes and pushing a cart around the

$1,000. $500 or even $1,000 per annum.
Thus his salary has kept pace with the
increase in the cost of living. There
are three exceptions, the clerks who
were at the top ten years ago and who
are still there. and those clerks who
did not deserve promotion or who find
their promotion stopped by the failure
of those above them to die or resign.
Yet these three classes are insignificant
as compared with the total number OF
clerks. Twelve years ago there was a
clerk in the pcstoftice department re-
ceiving $1,000 a year. He is now a
member of President Roosevelts cab
met. This goes to show it can be
done. The grave fault with the sys-
tenn is that the extremes are too close
together Practically no young man
who can earn $500 a year in private
employment will enter the government
service. for the reason that the utmost
limit for clerks is practically $1,000 a
year. The majority of men prefer pri-
vate employment. where. if successful,
the prizes range from $1,000 to $780,,
900 a year. a man may be a good
copyist but If he is no better now than
ten ,-sars ago, and If he is receiving
say twenty per cent more than he
would in private employment, for the
same work. the argument that he
should receive more salary is not con-
elusive.
a much better remedy, indeed, is to

rearrange the grades. reducing the sal
aries at the start and increasing them
at the top. giving more hexibility to
the service. If a young man could be
started in the civil service at $3.50 per
annum. but with the knowledge that
IL he earned promotion he could rise
to $4,000. $4,000 or even $1,000, there
would be some incentive. AS il is, he
takes a civil service examination and
lands a place at 5000 AT the start. with
the certainty that the higher grades
are full of healthy men and women
and that after he serves intelligently
and faithfully for twenty years he can
never reasonably hope to receive more
than $4,000.
No wonder he clamOrs for his 80
days annual leave, his 80 days sick
leave. and all holidays. No wonder he
appears on the last stroke of nine and
passes out of the building at 4:31. The
writer is one who does not believe the
average government clerk Is badly
treated. He has thirty days annual
and the same amount of sick leave;
If he is inclined he can get away with
only about 20 months work a year.
During nine months he works from 2
to 4: 80. the terrible total of seven and
a half hours. but he has half an hour
for lunch. During three months he is
of at one o'clock Saturdays. He gets
every national holiday off and the half

New York, Dec. 20-Today there was

clerks in the government service IL.
Washington are clamoring as loudly as
they dare, for an increase in their
salaries, in which demand the local
press is supporting them. 1t is natur-
al. for if the clerks have more money

pleased. But no one yet has touched
the practical side of the question in
public discussion. The fault is not in
the low salaries but in the system it
self II is properly pointed out that
the cost of living has greatly increased
here or elsewhere within the past ten
years; that $1,000 a year VIII not go as
far now as it would ten years ago. But
the fact has been overlooked that the
