Exterior EmpIoye"
Demands Fair Play

To the Editor Of The Washington Times: =
In your effort to let the people be
heard in the matter of wages In these
days of expensive living, your paper
has done commendable work. Its gen
erous defense meets with popular ap-
proval.
Several good results ought to follow.
and undoubtedly will follow the a@ita-
tion.
Since members Of Congress and other
officials already receiving high salaries
have been advanced so per cent, it is
but lust that those meritorious persons
now receiving less than 81, 500 a year
should be advanced at least % per cent.
All this should occur without reference
to ultimate retirement, with or without
pensions.
Charwomen, who now receive the
mere pittance- of $40 to 1896 a year fol
four hours daily work of a kind des-
tined to produce disease Of tubercu,
lar character ought to be advanced al
once 100 per cent.
1t is alleged that in some Of the bu-
reaus, employees who have received leave
of absence without pay, find on return
ing that they have been compelled to
nav for their favor by being docked the
salary for certain number of days
In other words, they sacrificed not only
for the time they asked for, as was eX'
proportionate number OF days without
pay, as a penalty.
There seems to be no authority Of law
or right for such arbitrary action. II
is. with or without law, an unjust pro-
cedure; and if the mandate of some

haps Congress would take some interest
in the subject.
I was struck by the article signed
"Old Stager." Evidently an upright
clerk, satisfied with his pay and not
understanding why all others are not
likewise 1t is. indeed, as pleasant as
II is unusual to note such a case. He
says pertinently. mo one is obliged to
remain in Government civil service II
he does not wish to-" This seems to be
unanswerable. Yet 1t may be suggested
the uncertainty of finding better jobs,
or any jobs, causes them to remain-not
satisfaction with their present work and
pay. Somehow working for the Gov
ernment thirty or forty years does not
seem to add to q mans chances to find
other employment. Perhaps "Old Stag
err" with this in view thinks there is
no use to kick, and 1t is much wiser to
submit; that clerks are predesttned
to a hard time-if without influence.
Another, among several pertinent re-
marks by Old Stager'' is the question,
What warrant" he asks, "for The
Times strenuous undertaking to obtain
an increase Of salaries for the Govern
ment clerk?" Well, perhaps the ques-
tion. as the propounder seems to think,
does not entirely settle the matter.
II will be remembered, several years
ago Congress increased the pay of its
members and that OF the higher off,
cials literally on the ground the rise
was necessitated by the increased cost
Of living. By inadyertence It forgot the
clerks, the fellows below them. 1t is
difficult to see why the increase in cost
of living would not apply to those who
get but $500 yearly. Therefore, l pre-
sumo Congress, while doing all neces-
sary to keep the wolf from its own
door and the doors of the other high
particulars simply overlooked. forgot
any reference to the fellows having a
hard time down below.
Get the facts as The Times Is pre-
senting them and Congress will give
proper attention to the subject, for the
true catise of the trouble Is the con-
tinued negligence Of Congress. Think OF
II, a mass of inefficient, poorly paid
clerks, many too old really to go out
Of doors. and when spasm of economy
seizes an administration the first thing
TO do is to threaten these people with
longer hours. Great saving! Great
snakes! The remedy Is not difficult.
except for Congress. Clean out of the
departments the incapable, especially
those held in by influence-make those
remaining work and pay them reason
able salaries. II this were done the
pension subject would quickly subside.

MERCER SEES WAR
IN JAPANrS ACTION
Former Representative Says
Hatred for United States
Is Growing.

Former Representative David H. Mer-
Ger. who represented the Omaha dis
trict for many years and now lives in
Eastern affairs who believes there is
real danger of a breach between the
United States and japan in the near
future.
Mr.. Mercer's opinions are based on
knowledge of sentiment in Japan and
advices from the Far East Of recent
date. While member Of the House he
made a tour OF the East. looking into
conditions with reference. to our legisla-
tive policy. Later, during the war be-
tween Russia and Japan, he spent q
considerable time in Japan, China, and
the Philippines. His reasons for fearing
present conditions are most Interesting.
II was in Japan" he said today, soon
after the war with China. Japan had
been compelled to forego the fruits of
that victory, and to give up Port Ar
thur, because Russia, backed by Ger
many and France, demanded it.
As 1 travelled through Japan at that
period, I found intense bitterness
against Russia We will make the Rus
SLAMS pay for this some day. was the
grim threat on every Japanese's lips.
And we all know how they did 1t.
To-day, the masses OF the Japanese
nation have exactly the same attitude
toward the United States. They feel
that we robbed them of the great In
demnity they expected to gain from
Russia. by forcing their hand, making
the Porthmouth treaty inevitable. and
letting Russia of.
"They count that the powers of
Europe and the worlds bankers were
behind the United States in that move.
exactly as they feel that Germany and
France backed Russia in depriv1ng them
OF their former victory. The cases are
to them precisely parallel. Just as they
hated Russia for being the chief Of
fender In one case, so they hate the
United States for its leading response
bilitY In the other.
But the japanese naturally have
more confidence in themselves now than
then. They have defeated a first-class
power. They know the weakness OF the
United States position in the Philip
pines. Their rulers do not want war;
they know they cannot afford 1t, and
that we can; they fear victory would
finally be with US, and would ruin them.
"Rut the people hate the United
States, and public opinion may force the
war, Just as IL did with Russia"

square Deal" Idea
PleaSeS "Another One

To the Editof-o OF The Washington Times:
The letter Of Square Deal" suggesting
that each employe write his Represen-
tative and Senator, voices ar idea that
1 have long considered as a favorable
means to the end of securing an increase
in salary.
However, under the rulings whereby q
civil service employe is deprived of
every right to speak in his own behalf
and the express order of the President
Of November IS. 1909. to the contrary,
such action on the part of the
clerks would probably be met by
reprimand such as the indi-
vidual clerk would not care to court,
therefore / suggest that the President
might be induced to grant permission
for such action: or that each clerk re-
quest a friend or friends not in the SER
vice to write to Representatives and
Senators on the subject This latter
action would probably procure recon-
mendations that would have more
weight than II from the clerks, whose
vote isn't worth as much as that of his
friend at home. ANOTHER ONE.
