URGE HIGHER PAY
FOR u. S. CLERKS
Chamber of Commerce
Committee Also Planning
to Secure TraSs.

To devise ways and means TO bTN.
Congress to a realization OF the neces-
sity of granting an increase Of pay TO
Government clerks and employees Of the
District government. and to Increase the
volume or trade in Washington with
residents of surrounding States, were
the two lines Of action mapped out last
night for the retail trade committee Of
the Chamber Of Commerce.
In spite OF the fact that the evening
was a warm summer one. a good
~ share OF the members Of ID. J.
Kaufmans newly formed commit
tee met last night at Chamber Of
Commerce headquarters and held their
initial meeting. 1t proved an enthusi-
astic and businesslike one. Two motions
were passed. after free discussion, au-
thorizing Chairman kaufman to appoint.
first, a committee OF not to exceed ten
members, TO consider methods whereby
Congress might be brought to realize
the Importance OF raising the salaries Of
Government employees in Washington;
and. secondly, to appoint a committee Of
fifteen, TO devise ways and means TO
bring purchasers to. Washington from
Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland.
Participating in the discussion were
Charles F. Walraff, Julius Garfnkle,
William II. Hahn, Ralph w. Lee, Il. D.
Blackstone, and J. T. Anderson.
Mr.. Garfinkle revived the proposition
on which the Jobbers and Shippers AS
ISOLATION worked last fall, to make In
ducements for country residents in the
neighboring States to coma to Washing
ton and make their purchases. 1t was
his idea, concurred in by other MEM
bers, that certain days in the month,
particularly in the fan and early win
ter. should be set aside as shopping days
for Out-of-town purchasers. He sug-
gested that the railroads be asked 70
grant special excursions for this pur-
pose, and that as a further inducement
il should be advertised that the fares OF
purchasers Of certain amounts Of goods
would be refunde& by the committee.
Mr.. Hahn said that everyone was anx-
ious 10 make a visit to Washington
anyway. and that if the proper induce
ments could be made, this trade foI
Washington merchants could be very
materially increased. He suggested a
series OF merchants weeks" be ar
ranged for October, November. and De
cemker and that a paid secretary be
employed TO work out details. He also
advocated the publication of a paper
to further the interests OF this move
