Pity the poor government clerk. If
half the letters that are being written
to the local newspapers speak the
truth, the condition of Uncle Sans
employees is pitiable indeed. To judge
by this epistolary complaints, the av-
erage government clerk in Washington
lives little better than a serf and at
his death there awaits him only a
yawning hole in the potter's field. All
Of these communications have for their
subject the proposed increase of 20 per
cent in salaries, which President
Roosevelt some time ago declared he
might recommend. The president is
consulting the members Of congress on
his proposition, and this week had a
lengthy conference with Representative
Littauer, a member Of the committee
on appropriation. Mr.. Roosevelt is I'M
derstood not to be in favor of blank
ct increase of 20 per cent, but is con-
WINGED that there should be some gen
eral rise in the clerks pay. Mr. Lit
tauer is distinctly opposed to general
increase in government salaries, but he
has acknowledged that there are men
in the service, particularly those at the
heads Of bureaus, who deserve better
wages. As matter of fact, Uncle
Sans employees are woefully under
paid.
