WOULD INCREASE
PAY Of CLERKS
OF government
Claimed that $4,000 Civil
Service Employees Resigned
in Eight Years
(ay Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2o.-Wltn
a view of enlisting interest and CO.
operation of federal civil service EN-
ployes throughout the country and
of gaining through them the support
of voters of all parties for legislation
providing for an increase OF their sal
aries, a largely attended mass meet
ing was held in Convention Hall IN
this city tonight and addressed by
several speakers including some mem
bers of congress.
The principal address was made by
Fulton r. Gorder, business man OF
Washington, who criticized the execu-
tive order which forbids any govern
ment ,employe stationed in Washing
ton, under pain of suspension, to peti-
ton congress without first obtaining
permission from the head OF depart
ment; bitterly attacked President
Roosevelt as having originated the or
der and declared that President Taft
had enlarged it and made it even
more severe.
Gordon said that the average pay
of civil service employees was S72S
a year and that the smallest pay rep
resented in this average was insuffi'
cient for even the bare necessities Of
life.
The Speaker asserted that during
the last eight years $1,000 govern.
ment employees had resigned because
they could not live on their present
salaries and were offered better pay
outside. The government ought to
be the model employer of tie world
Gordon proposed a universal letter
writing campaign in aid of government
employees; urging them to enlist the
sympathies of the people throughout
the country, to the end that they
should write to their representatives
in congress and to present the need
of legislation looking to an increase
of pay of the employees in all branches
of government service.

Former Justice ofGaadI Zone

for Interference

Chicago, Ill.,, Feb. 25.-Lorin c. Col
Inns, until two months ago associate
Justice of supreme court at Panama, a,
tonight declared the president of the
United States has usurped the functions
of the legislative branch of the govern
ment at Panama and now rules there
under despotism as absolute as that OF
Russia. Former Justice Collins spoke
before 500 Chicago lawyers at ban
quet and review the history of American
rule in the Canal Zone during his six
years as justice.
"The presidents word, noe law" he
said, ''governs all and everything. The
result is that there has been biult up
under the American flag bureaucracy
which controls everything in the zone
and against which even the courts are
powerless. After the canal commission
was established in 1904, President
Roosevelt declared he could change the
laws established by the commission, and
then began the issuance of executive
orders, which were in fact new laws,
superseding the lawful authority gov
erning the zone. Secretary of War Taft
also took part in the issuance of these
orders.
1.-The office of governor of the zone
was wiped out by President Roosevelt.
Five municipalities, with mayors, al
dermen and taxing bodies. were wiped
ont by executive order, and in their
place was established bureau of civil
administration. Even the courts were
not exempted from executive interfer-
ence" 49, -, s>.>

message received here today from Sir
William Mckenzie, president Of the
Canadian Northern railway, Mr.. Nc
Kenzie states that his views on the
proposed reciprocity agreement have
been misrepresented. He is of the
opinion that some details of the treaty
are good and some are bad. He
does not think that fruit growers will
be seriously affected and he says that
the railways will see to it that West

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25. - In
passing the sundry civil bill carrying ap-
proximately $14O, 600, 900 tonight, the
house of representatives made a new
record. Never before in the memory Of
capitol attaches has the sundry civil
bill. the biggest of all supply bills,
been put through the house in two days
under general rules and without a gag
of any sort being resorted to.
This fact is taken as another evidence
that the house is doing all it can to
avoid an extra session, and is ANXIOUS
to get the last of the appropriation bills
in the hands of the senate in ample
time to permit OF their consideration.
