Board of Trade Thinks Com
missioners Underpaid.
TO GO BEFORE CONGRESS
Matter Will Be Laid Before Appro-
priations Committees.
Appeal Will Be Made for Annual
Allowance Of at Least $4,000
for Purpose.

Convinced that the Commissioners OF
the District of Columbia are underpaid
for their services. the board of directors
of the Washington Board of Trade yes
terday adopted resolution urging CON-
gress to increase the salary of the Gem
missioners from $1,000 to $500, and
committee consisting of u. j. Callahan,
T. c. Moves and E. c. Graham was APP
pointed to appear before the appropria-
tons committees of the Senate and House
to ask that the increase be given.
The resolution was offered by Mr..
Callahan at the regular meeting of the
directors yesterday afternoon Mr. Gala
han said that he believed the work done
by the Commissioners warranted a larger
| recompense
1.-THE Commissioners are too modest to
include a recommendation for an increase
of their own salaries in their estimates
submitted to Congress" said Mr.. Gala
han, land therefore I think the Board
of Trade should take the matter up d.
rectly with the congressional commit
tees"
Thinks District Too Modest.
Mr.. Callahan added that he thought the
District of Columbia was too modest III
it's demands upon Congress. AS the Ma
tional Capital, it was only right that the
city should receive generous appropria-
tons.
A committee was appointed by the
board also to appeal to the appropriations
committees of Congress for an annual APP
preparation of from $4,000 to $1,000 to
be used as an entertainment fund for the
foreign guests of the nation who come to
Washington. w. F. Guide. in discussing
the matter, said that during the last
year the citizens of Washington had been
called on to entertain the Japanese COM
mercial commissioners, the foreigners
who attended the International Prison
Congress and the Vienna Singers. All of
these, Mr.. Guide said. We're in reality
guests of the nation. He said that Con-
gress had appropriated a sum of money
to entertain the International Prison Con-
gress, but that this money had been spent
in taking the foreigners and delegates on
tour about the penal institutions of the
country before they came to Washington
There are a few men here-probably
not more than a hundred-who are eX-
pected to go down in their pockets and
subscribe to funds to entertain the guests
of the National Capital whenever they
come said Mr.. Guide, and 1T is time
that the government bear some Of the
burden
He said that a committee had been ap-
pointed by the Chamber Of Commerce to
take this matter up, and that the COM
mittee had gone to the District Commits
sioners in regard to the matter. The Com
missioners while favoring the idea, had
asked the committee to lay the matter be-
fore the congressional committees. Gen.
George II. Harries, Thomas G. Noyes and
Arthur c. Moses were appointed. ID COM
Inittee from the Board of Trade to act
with the committee of the Chamber Of
Commerce to obtain such fund from
