MASS MEETING
FOR HIGHER PAY
Great Crowd of Government
Employees Demands Just
Compensation.

Despite inclement weather, more than
5000 government and District employees
gathered at Convention Hall last night
to listen and cheer while labor leaders
reotted the history Of the movement for
a general increase in salaries and the
benefits Of organization.
President Samuel Gompers, Of the
American Federation of Labor, handi-
capped by q cold-that affected his voice,
but not his vigor-was the principal
speaker
Employees who have not the courage
or gumption to assert themselves, have no
rights that anybody will respect" he de-
clared amid cheers. 81 am fully convinced
that Congress is willing to do its share
In recognidon of the exigencies OF the
hour" he added.
The audience included representatives
Of every branch Of the government de-
partments and the District service, in
cluding 100 or more Of the colored en-
ployes Of the District force. N F. Alias,
legislative agent of the Machinists' Union,
presided.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, was the
first speaker. He said that the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor had been the
leader in the fight for the adoption Of the
eight-hour law, the child labor legisla-
ton and the other humanitarian measures
that had been written upon the statute
books.
The Federation, he asserted, was su-
premely confident that the legislative
bill to be acted upon by Congress today
will contain graded increases amounting
to 20 per cent for employees below the 500
grade. Is per cent for employees between
800 and $500. and 10 per cent for en-
ployes between 81 200 and 1900. In the

inheritance tax would provide the money

'Smoot Measure Ditched by
Senate Williams
J Deplores Half-heartedness.

After voicing his opposition to the shep-

half-hearted anti-saloon measure and q

williams, Of Mississippi, yesterday an
nouncsd his purpose Of Offering an amend

bill which will penalize both drinker and
distributor of alcoholic liquors.

me for all sorts of infirmIties and It

Mississippi Senator.

The Senator announced that he would

convictions on morality should be. He

President Wilson considered another
step had been taken toward ending IN.

The Information was unofficial, but
came from an authoritative source at
the German Embassy.
In neutral diplomatic circles it was
said the representatives of the allies had
informed their several governments It

WHITE House PUNCH
To Be OR NOT To Be?
That's the Question Agitatins Persons
Invited to Diplomatic Reception.

Once upon time, and It wasn't so very
long ago, the chief anxiety Of fortunate
persons invited to White House recep-
tions was to get the exact location Of the
punch bowl
But times have changed and the moot
question in Washington last night was:
Will there be any punch at the White
House reception to the diplomatic corps
tonightT'
II there is, what will Maj Pullman do
about It?
What will Judge Pugh, OF the City Po-
lice Court, have to allege tomorrow
morning?
Barely a week ago Judge Pugh assessed
a fine against District resident because
beer was served at family affair. The
Justice said it was against the law.
Following his logic, 1t Is against the
law to treat; a man cannot buy his wife,
his sweetheart, a lodge brother, a friend
from back home,' or the chauffeur a
drink The law is dead against II, says
Judge Pugh. Treating or drinking at
your own freside- is outlawry.
Now, II the President reads the papers
and as chief magistrate of the nation he
concurs in the views of Judge Pugh, there

Lad Samples Remnants from Party Pa

Special to Ths washinstou Herald.

Special to Ths Washington Herald
New York, Dec 1S-Amadesto Nico, s
years old, was taken from his classroom
in Public School 8, Poplar and Hicks
streets, Brooklyn, today, suffering from
alcoholic gastritis.
The child staggered into Miss Gibbons
room and went to sleep. After DR.. Har-
per of the Brooklyn Hospital had said
Amadesto had drunk a mans share of
liquor, the Children's Society started an
investigation.
Agent Sylvester Nash reported to the
Children's Court that there was a party
last night at Amadesto's home, in Main
street, and that before school. without
anybody knowing 1t, the lad sampled the
source of last nights joy. Amadesto
ended his adventure with an ambulance
ride to the hospital. His two younger sis
tiers, Carmella and Teresa, were taken to
the society's quarters as lacking proper
guardianship.
