FOUNTAIN PENS AT FREE PRHss'
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-12-28
PAY IN DEPARTMENTS
DECLARED TOO SMALL
Need of Increase Vigorously
Urged at Meeting of Chamber
of Commerce Committee.

That the pay of the government clerks
should be increased was the opinion
vigorously expressed at meeting Of the
publicity committee of the Chamber of
Commerce last night
Isaac Cans, chairman of the committee,
said that while economy was the watch
word Of the administration, and properly
so, the government should not economize
at the expense Of it's clerks who are
underpafd at present. He said that these
clerks are receiving exactly the same pay
which their predecessors received thirty
years ago. notwithstanding the fact that
the cost of living has increased largely
and the salaries of Congressman and the
higher officers of the government have
been increased several times.
Mr.. Cans said that government clerk,
VINO relied upon his salary as his sup
port, was unable to raise family on the
meager sum and not get into debt.
He was backed up in his statements by
washington TOpham, who told of a num-
Der of cases within his knowledge of gov
eminent clerks who had suffered great
hardship because of the small pay.
Another meeting of the committee will
be called at an early date to consider the
annual report of the committee, which
will he made to the organization at the
meeting next month.
