The alleys and courts referred 10

such. The opening in many cases would
result ia the oelapidated houses and luIts

Clerks Salary Raise
Is Urged Regardless
Of Littauer'S Views
Members Take Exceptions to Arguments
That Heads of Bureaus Are the Ones
Who Should Receive Increase.

There are members Of Congress F5ho
strongly combat the view expressed by
Representative Littauer, Of New York.
that the heads OF bureaus in the Gov
ernment service are the ones who ought
TO have their salaries raised rather than
the clerks in the lower grades OF the
service.
These Congressman base their afgu-
ments on this statement;
Too many men and women, with fam
lilies to support, are struggling along
on $500 or 81. 900 a year. With living ex-
penses at their present high figure. a
81 eco clerk, IN addition TO being good
worker, must have a positive genius for

detriment OF the Government service. -
Jhe Times can state auhOFitatively
that the night for better pay for the
clerks will be forced by every possible
means known 20 the Congressman fav-
oring the increases. Representatives
Livingston and SOuthwick are especial
~ Tesolute IN their purpose 10 obtain
better salaries for the clerks.
Although they may not have such a

OF Congress for the Legislation next ses-
