ries Far Too Low.
Declares Uncle Sans Army of Faith
fuI Workers Should Receive
Adequate Compensation.

A firm believer In justice for Uncle
Sans" faithful army of workers is Rev.
Wallace Radcliffe, pastor Of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church. He
declares the men and women in the
service OF the government possess IN
usual merit and a high degree OF faith
fulness and should be rewarded accord
ingly. He says:
'In making appropriations for battle
ships and almost everything else under
the sun our Representatives seem to for
get the clerks IN the departments. Not
withstanding the fact that within the
last ten years the cost Of living here in
Washington has gone up at least one
third, the salaries OF the government en-
ployes have stood at the same old fig
ures.
81 regard the employees in the depart
ments as among the most important OF
the great army Of worthy and needy
workers. The vast majority, In fact,
nearly all Of them, are good citizens. As
a class, they are faithful. Industrious,
capable, and devoted. Many OF them
bring TO their service culture and excep-
tionai ability. Numbers are college bred
and possess high mental equipment, hav-
ing received special training along the
lines in which they are working and
materially helping the United States gov
eminent.
Many OF them are veterans of the
civil and Spanish wars, and have fully
shown their patriotism and willingness
10 suffer sacrifices for Uncle Sam by
risking death on the battlefield. Re-
member that the vast majority Of these
workers are giving 10 their country the
best years and energy of their lives.
Notwithstanding all these facts-and they
are facts beyond dispute-these people re-
ceive disgracefully small salaries. Their
remuneration has not changed for scores
Of years.
I hope Congress will lose no time In
taking up this matter and acting favor
ably upon il. Justice should be done to
the clerks in all the departments and
gratitude for and recognition of their
services should be shown by raising their
salaries at least 20 per cent"

John JOY Edison. president of the Wash
ington Loan and Trust Company. called
attention to the fact that many me-
chanics. thanks TO organization. receive
better pay than clerks in the government
service. lie believes that under the pres
ent scale OF salaries paid the department
employees It is impossible to secure the
best men. Speaking Of the matter, he
said:
There has been no readjustment OF
salaries in the department since 1853, ex-
cept for a period of two or three years
during the civil war. when foOdstuffs
were very high. At that time salaries
were temporarily advanced % per cent.
We know that at the present time the
cost OF living has gone up very greatly. It
takes 81 now 10 buy what we could get for
50 cents a short time ago. The cause OF
this great increase in the cost OF living
does not seem to be understood, but many
persons, like myself, regard it as alb
normal.
Mechanics Better Paid.
THE salaries paid in business houses
have been advanced during the past few
years Mechanics now receive more COM
pensation per diem than department
clerks in many instances, as it Is well
known that their wages have doubled
and in some cases more than doubled.
This IS the result Of organization. which
has enabled skilled wOrkmen to guard
their interests and secure adequate re-
turns for their labor
The justification for considering an In
crease in the salaries Of the department
clerks seems perfectly clear and in the
best interest Of the service; that is, 10 Sc
cure the best service. their remuneration
should be increased. designations are
very frequent in all the departments, and
this shows that TIL bes, ren cannot af-
ford 20 remain at The salaries they get
AS a result, the government loses.

suited in the Inauguration Of the merit

high character into the service. the aver
