House Recess Plan.

The House plan for three-day recesses
until the Senate catches up on pending
legislation, may be upset when the No.
Ian SO day compensation bill for gov
ernment employees is called up on Mon
day
Representative Nolan will ask for con-
sideration for the measure under a sus-
pension of the rules. and there is no dis
position on the part OF the Democratic
leaders to have it considered. 1t requires
a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules
and the failure OF the motion causes the
matter to remain on the calendar.
The bill fixes 50 a day as the minimum
salary for all employees of the govern
-Dent and the District of Columbia except
men in the military branch OF the gov
ernment and persons receiving sub.ist-
ence, in addition to their compensation.
II IS a very attractive bill to those in
the government service who receive less
than 50 per day, and 1t. passage would
make excellent political capital par
tcularly in labor centers, but the Demo-
Gratis have no intention of letting the mi
nority get the credit for such LEGISLATION.
Representative Nolan. representative of
organized labor, is Republican, but
apart from that, economists of the House
oppose the measure because it is claimed
that the government Treasury is not in
the financial condition to stand such a
revolutionary revision Of the existing
scale Of wages.

over a period OF years. He got thu

and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat. When the crop was

half the wheat on the farm to pay the
whole purchase price OF it; in short

the land. paid all the expenses OF op-
