$40 600 LIBRARIAN SPEAKS
4 WORD FOR $500 SISTERS
Miss Belle De Costa Green Custodian OF j. PePont Morsans
Priceless. Volumes, Urges Increase in Salary of
Underpad Women in Public Libraries.

The girl with the $4,000 job lends
hand TO the girl who gets only 800.
Miss Belle de Costa Green. custodian
OF J. Pierpont Morgan's private library
a position for which by the terms OF MS
will. she is to receive $4,000 year during
her life, or as long as she remains III
charge OF the library. took up the defence
yesterday OF the POORLY paid, unappre-
ciated young women who work In the
New York City public libraries.
She made her plea for an increase In
librarians salaries before the Woman
Forum. which was meeting at hte Wal
dorf- Astoria.
The Forum Endorsed the proposed in
creases unanimously, and the secretary
rushed out Of meeting TO telephone TO the
Board Of Aldermen. who were having a
meeting to discuss this very question.
Few people realize What a remarkable
lot OF girls the librarians are said Miss
Green. They have to know everything.
from ancient history to both sides OF
socialism. They have to be girls Of pleas
ing personality, OF gentle birth. and I'M
failing pa .ence. Yet they are paid only
$40 n month-less than stenographers get.
The youngest girl who enters the library
system must be a High School graduate
and she must pass an examination MADE
up Of questions like this:
Name the dates and principal works
of Chaucer. Rossetti, Gertrude Atherton.
Moliere. Cooper. Tennyson. Ibsen. Bret
Harte, Schiller and Boccaccio.
For all this wisdom she doesn't receive
any pay at all for three months. while
she Is learning the business. Then she is
giSen $40 1 month. After a year in which
she studies at the library school she is
promoted TO Grade c and receives so
more.
The college graduate who enters the
upper branches of the service, Grades b
and A, receives only $50. though she has
TO have more training than the public
school teacher. who receives twice as
much. She must spend not only four
years in college. but two years more in
library school, either at Albany or CO.
lumbia University. or Pratt Institute. The
city certainly is not treating these
women fairly. | hope the new salary
schedule. which starts them at SIS a
month, will be passed by the Board of
Aldermen. II has already passed the
Board of Estimate.
The result OF these low salaries is. of
course that the women who are capable
OF filling the responsible positions are not
willing TO take them. because they can
earn so much more somewhere else.

stood on the pavement, and several were
inside the store, rear the entrance where
the employees went out. AS the crowds
gathered ten or twelve plain clothes men
mingled with them, the same, who were
identified with the garment strike last
year, Miss butcher asserted.
No attempt was made by the store man
ayers to keep the girls from leaving by
the entrance near which the meeting was
held but an announcement was made be-
fore they quit work that the per cent
commission they have been receiving on
their sales would be increased to per

FINDS HER HUSBAND
SUICIDE; BABY DEAD
Woman, Returning from Her
Work, Discovers Bodies in
Gas Filled Room.

Peter Coffee. a waiter long out Of work,
grew discouraged yesterday and decided
TO end his life in the little two-room
APARTMENT at No. 2i5 East 37th street
where he and his wife and their two-year-
old daughter lived. Before turning on the
gas and lying down on the bed TO die the
father undressed little Celia and placed
her or the bed Throwing one arm over
his child, ne then lay down, fully dressed,
and awaited death.
Seven hours later Mrs. Coffee, who is
a maid in a downtown hotel, returned
from her work. not suspecting the double
tragedy that had entered her life. She
opened the door and spoke a cheering
word to husband and child as she walked
through the tiny parlor. No answer came
from the bedroom beyond. Still unaware
that anything was wrong, the wife entered
the bedroom.
Stretched across the bed, fully dressed.
lay the body of her husband. Lying close
beside him. one tiny, dimpled hand in that
of her father. lay Celia's body. The
room was heavy with the odor of escaping
gas, and the mother knew in a moment
what had happened. Although the fumes
threatened 10 OVefpOWeT neI, MTS. COllee
ran 10 the bed, snatched up her child
and dashed from the room, screaming.
Elmer Brooks. another roomer in the
house. summoned an ambulance from

lie said the man and child had been dead
for six or seven hours. The mother re-
fused to believe her child had been taken
from her forever ard imDlored the ply
stefan to bring Celia back TO life. When
sure that her baby was dead. Mrs. Coffee
became lysterical
Coffee lost his position in an uptown
restaurant about five weeks ago. and. un-
able to obtain work again. :ook to drink.
His wife tried to encourage him and went
oheerfully TO work each morning, striving
20 make her small wage support the little
family.
on Thursday Sight Coffee returned to
his home intoxicated. but when his wife
left for her place of employment yester-
day morning the man appeared sober and
in a normal state OF mind.
The wife said last night that she had
no money TO bury her husband or Celia,
so the police of the East 35th street sta
ton took both bodies to the morgue.
