Increase Salaries Of Government

To the Editor of The Star:
Believing that the newspaper is the

through speculation, but through leg..i-
mate investment, to increase his fortune
The servant class has certainly had its
wages increased 33 1-3 per cent. Laborers

ENTERS A DENIAL.
Statement by E. c. Graham as to
Labor Situation.

In reference to a published statement
to the effect that the members of the En-
ployers' Association of the Building
Trades contemplated a settlement which
would throw out of work the Independent
workmen now employed, as soon as the
construction now under way Is completed,
and their places be filed exclusively by
union mechanics, President E. c. Ora
ham of the Employers Association of the
Building Trades says he deems it of
sufficient Importance to publicly assure all
independent workmen in the District of
Columbia that the members of the EN-
ployers' Association, who have estab-
lshed the open shop will permanently
maintain such condition.
I'VE absolutely maintain that the right
of an individual to work shall not be
abridged" Mr. Graham adds. land it is a
ridiculous and unjust statement that
places our open-shop employers In the
light of considering for a moment the
turning down of the men who have
enabled us to continue in business when
union men refused to work.
THE labor unions hold that the prin-
cipe of employing exclusively union men
is fundamental, and have always and do
now refuse to arbitrate this question.
The Employers Association respect
tne rlSntS OF tne nioiVluudl as gwen MIN
by the Constitution of the United States,
and refuses to be party to any agree
ment when these rights may be abridged.
when labor unions so constitute them
selves, by Incorporation or otherwise. that
they are a responsible body. and when
membership in their organization means
skill. efficiency and honesty, a. fair day s
work for fair days pay, instead of be-
ing an organization without responsible
ity, whose whole strength is In its num-
bers only, regardless of their ability, then
and only then the Employers Association
might consider dealing with the labor
unions.
"Our Independent worlzmen will there
fore understand that all such published
statements are the product of the fertile
brains of the walking delegates and in
tended only to create distruSt."

One Remedy Suggested.

Mr.. Osgood expressed the opinion that
there should be regulation adopted
which would subject skaters to a penalty
for taking hold OF moving vehicles. There
Is a penalty prescribed for those who
amuse themselves in jumping on and off
street cars, he stated, and he did not I'M
derstand why the scope of the law should
not be broadened so as to include other
vehicles. Maj. Sylvester promised he
would give the question his attention and
would do what he could to lessen the
danger.
People seem to think automobiles are
public property or targets. said Mr. Os-
day, while riding through Montgomery
county. Md, some country people amused
themselves by exploding torpedoes against
my machine and it became necessary for
me to get out and stop it.
Police officials say they are receiving
more complaints about children this win
ter than is usual at this season of the
year, the reason being the winter is so
open. There are several thousand skaters
upon the streets at time, the police say
and surprise is expressed that there have
not been many serious accidents. Mai
Sylvester told Mr.. Osgood that some of
the skaters violate the law, especially
those who engage in playing hockey upon
the streets, and assured him that the
police will do their best to improve the
situation.
Issues an Order.
Maj. Sylvester issued an order last night
to the several captains, instructing them
to have their officers do their duty In the
matter of stopping the street annoyances.
instructing them to give the matter their
personal attention. A few weeks ago the
suggestion was made that children be pro-
hlblted from skating on the sidewalks, but
1t did not meet with much favor and moth
ing was done. At that time it was pointed
out that the driving of the children to the
streets would probably result In fatal ac-
cldents, and the parents Of the younger
skaters took unkindly to the suggestion.
