Delusion and Fraud.

The present increase" he continued,
'is a delusion and a fraud. And the
House has added insult to injury by
delaying il for six months and then al
lowing it for only twelve months.
There is the cry of a deficit. That was
not the cry when the salaries of the
officials We're increased, nor when mil
lions were appropriated for the army
and navy and armor plants, or = by 4
islands in the Pacific. But when
the heartrending appeals came a the
hearings on the Nolan bill we closed
our eyes and our ears and said: There's
no money.
'If they will let me write ten lines in
a tariff bill, I'll collect enough money
to pay every farthing of the increase
proposed.

Government employees of the city
were urged by members of Congress
who spoke at the mass meeting last
night in the National Rifles ArmOry,
under the auspices of the Federal En-
ployes' Union. to continue their fight
for increased salaries in the Senate.
The opinion was expressed that the
Senate would right the whole affair by
providing for larger increases than
were given by the House of Repre-
sentatives.
Representative Richard ". Austin of
Tennessee said that he didn't think the
government employees salary question
was settled, "for no question is settled
until it is settled right" He said that
when the Sixtieth Congress raised the
salary of the President, cabinet officers
circuit court judges and their own
salaries it should have gone all down
the line to the charwoman.

Il believe that the Senate of the Unit
ed States will right this salary matter
when it comes before it. Some people

Senate, but l will suspend judgment on
that matter until after that body acts
on the salary increase measure"
He said that a law to retire super
animated employees should have been
written on the statute books years ago.
The government employees, he said.
should never cease their efforts until
their fight is won.
