increase in cost Of labor since 1900 is 20
per cent and that of clothing 30 per cent.
The price of food has increased proper
tionately.
The report adds; "It is one Of the
glazing inconsistencies Of the government
service that people who are obliged TO
have a university education TO do what
IS required Of them, often receive not
more than those who do purely mechani-
cal work. but this particular phase OF
the question must sooner or later receive
the attention of Congress.
Wife Compelled 10 Work. =
1T is well known fact that in many
instances. in order to add to an in
adequate salary, and to provide the bare
necessaries Of life, IN the case of govern
ment employees in the lower grade, the
wife is often compelled TO be a wage
carrier, after marriage. and we conceive
1t TO be unfair TO ask her TO be a home
maker and wage Garner az the same
time"
The committee concludes with the fol-
lowing recommendation; "No doubt the
government can continue to get employees
at the salaries which it pays at present,
but II this country wishes able. self
respecting people to do It's work, it must
give them a living wage, and your COM
mittee believes it is not going too far to
demand Of Congress that the average
salary be raised to Sl,0i0 through an in
crease OF 80 1-3 per cent.
we believe it 10 be the duty and pleas
Te Of the Chamber OF Commerce to urge
upon the lawmaking body the necessity OF
a square deal to government employees and
to perseveTe IN the cause until this re-
form has been accomplished. We there
fore submit the following resolution and
ask for its adoption:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce that
Congress should enact without delay such
legislation as will result In increasing
the average pay of government employees
by 80 1-3 per cent over the present rate"

Mrs. J. Ellen Foster believes the clerks

they do now. and be of more value. if
they received more adequate remunera-

Il think the average department clerk
Is a man or woman of the finest quality

TT is a matter Of common justice TO
