Clerks and Congressman.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The reluctance of Congress to treat
the departmental clerks with any ap-
proach of justice or fairness is truly
amazing.
Last year, be 1t remembered. it calmly
raised the salaries of its own members
30 per cent on the basis of the increased
cost of living. and went serenely home
or abrOad-for a nine-months' vacation
leaving the government clerk to struggle
on as best he might. To the ordinary
mind. the need of the latter was the
greater. and by body of men as hon,
orable as Congress assumes to be should
have had prior considerations more es-
pecially when We read back a lI.tle into
the self-preservation of that august body
We have the authority of a senator who
was kind enough to befriend the clerks
in the argument relative to their status
last session that no Improvement has
been made in the grading of their seve-
raj classes since 1888. Personally, I
know that there has been no change
for the better since 1869. and. ! also
know that at that time members of
Congress were paid $1,000 a year. AS
they now receive $500. it is discoverable
that they have increased their own
salaries 80 per cent while still refusing
the clerk the acknowledged percentage
of the increased cost of living. Is it not
most amazing? And is it surprising that
many are inquiring what kind of gov
eminent We the people, are really sup
porting? Moreover IL does not appear
in all these disgraceful arguments that
the clerk has been very unfairly treated
in another way. viz. his time. Formerly
when the member of Congress received
5000. the hours of the clt rks were from
am to J pm. which Gep Grant pre-
served to him when the question was
agitated during his administrative ton. say
ing that six hours day was long
enough for man to sit at a desk Never
theless. VIXEN that brave mans influence
was no longer powerful the edict went
forth-from y am. to p.m.-and IT was
left for the sGuare-deal administration
to add thirty minutes more. under which
arbitrary rule the clerks now sit at their
desks andsendure the insults of Congress
In this age of our much-vaurted civil
ization. when the hours of labor have
been shortened all along the line. and
wages increased for every branch of
service. is il not marvel that Congress
is not ashamed to make the government
clerk scapegoat and afford such a
spectacle of itself when considering his
status.
Please keep this parallel in mind:
40 per cent added to the members pay;
one hour and thirty minutes added to
the clerks day. c. F.. MAIDEN.
