gas gushed forth in great volume. The

antees a big flow OF gas with which

SALARY INCREASE
HAS AN ENEMY
Senator Berry May Make
Trouble in Senate on
Question.

That increased salaries will be al
lowed members Of Congress, the
speaker. Vice President. and Cabinet Of
hcers is now regarded as assured
1t Is expected the Senate will dispose
OF the salary question Monday. The be
lief Is the Senate will sanction the
House amendment TO the legislative.
executive and judicial bill, which pro-
Vldes a 30 per cent increase in the
salaries Tor members Of the Senate and
House. and for the Speaker, the Vice
President. and Cabinet officers.
Senator Cullom is expected 70 call the
bill up at an opportune time Monday
and move 10 concur in the House
amendments. The Senate is considered
likely TO concur. In the House, there
was no roll call that forced the mem
bers 10 so on record on the salary in
crease proposition. There will be no
roll call when the Senate considers this
proposition, II IL can be avoided.
The indications are that no opposi-
ton to the proposed increase viii be
manifested IN the Senate. The general
feeling Of the Senate has all along been
that the increase ought TO be allowed.
but that the Senate ought not to be
put in the position Of pulling House
chestnuts out of the IRE.
Senator Berry of Arkansas is re-
garded as the only man in the Senate
likely 10 make trouble. Senator Berry
has long been opposed 10 the idea OF
a salary increase He is about 70 retire
from the Senate. and most OF his col
leagues feel that he will not have the
bad taste, under the circumstances. TO
cut the rest Of Congress out Of the
proposed increase.
