MORE PAY FOR FIREMEN.
House Subcommittee to Hear Argu-
ments on Bill.

Representative Campbell of Kansas
chairman of the subcommittee of the House
committee on the District of Columbia, IN
formed the Commissioners today that he
would call meeting OF the subcommittee
to take up the bill for the increase of the
salaries of members of the fire department,
and would be glad to hear any additional
arguments which might be presented. Com
missioner Mcfarland has had prepared a
statement of the pay of fire departments
in a number of principal cities, with the
salaries paid the District fire department
1t Is regarded as even more favorable to
the argument for an increase of salaries
than appears on the face of the statement,
because salaries have been increased in
several OF the cities elsewhere with which
comparison has been made since the COM
pilation. The total amount of additional
appropriation called for by the Commission
ers' bill for the iremen is sSS,670, of which
seven-eighths will go to the men In the
lower grades
In reporting to the Commissioners on the
subject last fall Chief Engineer Belt said;
The District of Columbia fire department
Is the poorest paid department of its class
In the United States, although the cost of
HVing Is very much higher than in other
Cities This cost of living, he added, was
necessarily increased by the requirement
that the flremen should live within rea
soHdDle distance OF me mouse 10 Wnlcn they
may be assigned which usually means
higher rents than the men would otherwise
pay. Moreover, the men must buy all their
uniforms and other official equipment, and
are REQUIRED TO present neat appearance
at all times. They are, of course on duty
day and night. except to relieve each
other at meals and to have one day off in
five. unless the exigencies of the service
prevent Captains and engineers have not
received any increase In salary in the last
thirty-five years. A very small increase
was given the prvates several years ago
But all the salaries are lower, grade for
grade, than in the police department ac-
cording to the present pay of that depart
ment.
