Attitude on Militarism.

The report of a special committee ap
pointed to prepare a statement Of the
principles upon which the federation
declares its position with respect to
"militarism" was adopted unanimously.
1.-THE American trades union move
ment is convinced by the experience of
mankind" says the report. that mill
tarism even in its less horrid mani
festations brutalizes those influenced
by the spirit of the institution.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to any
form of physical training or any quail
ity of mental education which would
tend to inculcate the spirit of mill
tarism. The childs immature and inn
questionable mind must not be taught
to think except with horror upon the
killing of human beings. To arouse
the thought that any of their school
hours are devoted to preparation for
the possible use of arms against their
fellowmeD is to brutalize their in
stincts and subvert the influence OF
the necessary lessons of humanity,
peace and good will, which it is the
duty of our public schools to impress
upon them"

Representative Rodenberg OF
Illinois Urges More Pay to
Meet Higher Living Cost.
BOTH CLASSES SADLY
UNDERPAlD, HE ASSERTS
Thinks Scale Mildewed With 1njus-
tice and Inequality and Monument
of Penury and Parsimony.

An increase OF 33+a per cent in the
salaries of all government employees
and the same increase for school teach
ers in the District of Columbia is ad-
vocated in statement issued yesterday
by Representative Rodenberg of Illinois
The fact that industrial corporations
are making big increases in wages of
their employees, said Mr. Rodenberg, is
enough to cause the United States gov
ernment to appropriate increases for
its clerks who are the most poorly paid
individuals in this country. according
to the Illinois representative.
Mr.. Rodenberg's Statement.
The statement reads:
THE action of the United States
Steel Corporation in voluntarily in
creasing the wages of it's vast army
of employees 331s per cent during the
year 1916 in order to enable these en-
ployes to meet the increased cost of
living should have the effect of causing
the present Congress to consider IA
rorably, and without delay, the just
and reasonable demands of government
employees for an increase in their COM
pensation. The most poorly paid indi-
NlOudiS IN This country are the ScnOOf
teacher and the government clerk. Mill,
factory and mine operatives, artisans
in the building trades. railroad en-
ployes-in fact. the workmen in prac-
tically "very industry. have secured
substantis advances in wages during
the last lew years. but the salary of
the teacher and the government clerk
remains stationary.
There has been no readjustment of
Uncle Sans salary scale in fifty years.
That scale is mildewed with injustice
and inequality. and Is a monument to
penury and parsimony. No government
employe is ever overpaid and 80 per cent
of them are always underpaid.

and that he had been unable to get

work, but is not strong enough to
work all day at hard labor can get odd
jobs that will support him without
any trouble these days. | have never
seen such scarcity OF labor in

These sentiments are echoed by
Captain Kline of the industrial de-

says: Wages have advanced 20 per

and the men who are employing la
