ANNOUNCEME EMIT.
To the Citizens of the Third Congress
sionaI District:


sionaI District:
/ hereby respectfully announce my
candidacy for reelection as your rep
resentative in the SiXty-Fifty (65th)
Congress, subject to the primary to be
held on September 18th.
During the short time l have been
your congressman, l have sincerely
endeavored to serve you faithfully, and
if my efforts and record meet with
your approval, l will feel greatly hon
ored and profoundly grateful if you
will give me your support in the COM
ing election. Congress has been in
almost continuous session since you
elected me, and duty required me to
stay here, which prevented me from
visiting you as often as | wished. The
Ways and Means Committee is now
daily working on a Revenue Measure;
being on that committee, | must re-
main here until the new tax law is
passed. AS soon as Congress adjourns,
or before then, if public business will
permit me to leave, | expect to can
vass the district, meet the people per
sonally, and talk to them face to face,
both individually and on the stump.
If reelected, | promise to discharge
the duties of the great Office with fidel-
ity and to the best of my ability.
From the depths of my heart |
thank you for your past kindness to
me. Cordially yours,
19-2Ot CHARLES r. CRISP.

Steed hit one out for homer over

Speaking about LUCK, it is thing
that is generally on the side of the
team that puts the most pep into the
game.
A little better hitting, and little
better playing all around, might give
Cord Gle bit more luck.
No, we're not knocking, and haven't
lost anything on the game. First place,
some fellows we know. We'd much
haven't anything to put up to loose, like
rather boost, and are just making a
few suggestions.

week have made. BASEBALL scarce ar

ture mas affected the games in the
Southern, South Atlantic and other
leagues, it has especially pit a crimp
in the big A." No games were played
in this circuit Friday and none Sat

grounds in heavy, sloppy condition,
and it will take sunshine until Monday
to put them in shape for playing.

Now, $500 Is. In the executive depart

When asked whether, on account of
the small salaries paid there, the Library
Of Congress served as a training school
for persons who afterward graduated
from 1t into the service Of other libraries
at better salaries. Mr.. Putnam sad:
Il did say to the committee something
to that effect but 1t was merely inciden-

not Tor those who graduate from our serv-
ice. but for those who remain in Wash

true that people did leave US for better
salaries elsewhere. I said that, of course,
1t was true, but that such opportunities
come only occasionally. and for a very
few. They do not affect the vast ma

here in Washington and are dependent
absolutely on what can be done for them

ent positions. 1t was their case that I
was making out And / naturally con-
trasted It with the case OF other govern

CRITICISES NOLAN BILL
CLAUSE AS TO BOARD

Editor The Washington Herald: / see
in The Washington Herald this morning
that the Nolan bill will be called up for
action soon, rof course. the bill is a good
one to some District employees. but 1t does
not do us men any good at the Washing
ton Asylum Hospital, where the wages
are very low. There is a clerk there who
gets as low as $40 per month, and in the
next room a man gets SO a month. An
other man gets $50 and board.
Now. IL the bill goes through, this
mans board will cost him so a month!
Because the bill reads those that get
board do not receive benefits from it, and
still the wages are low. And It affects
all the other institutions run by the Dis
tricts government. EMPDoYE.

Representative Nolan stated that he

passage Of the SS day p1inimum wage
bill and advised everybody to give it
hearty support. He accepted an invita-

URGE Higher SALARIES
Secretary of Commerce and Librarian
Of Congress Back Move.

Two more ardent advocates Of an In
crease In the salaries Of government en-
ployes came forward yesterday In the
persons OF Secretary Of Commerce Red
field and Herbert Putnam, Librarian OF
Congress. Secretary Redfield strongly
urges an increase in practically every de-
partment, stating that the general effi-
cheney Of the service could be materially
increased by a readjustment Of salaries
and general reclassihcation of positions.
Librarian Putnam said that more than
one-half the employees under his super
vision were paid less than 500 a year.
This is an increase Of 800 over the sal
aries paid two years ago, but in many
cases 1t is not commensurate with serv-
Ices rendered.
Industrial Wages Raised.
Wages in all branches of Industries
have more than kept pace with the in
creased cost of living" said Secretary
Redfeld, but no increase in the wage
scale Of government employees has been
made. notwithstanding that since 1854
the daily task of all wage earners has
been steadily decreasing, while the gov
ernment employe has received increased
hours, with no consequent increase in
compensation to Offset in a measure, the
increased living cost.
Economic publications report an ad.
vance In a single year Of "a per cent in
the cost OF commodities required for the
life Of family. This can only mean
that many Of those who are depending to-
day upon the same salaries they received
one or two years ago must be cruelty
cramped. Such condition can only re-

which would sustain his own recommen-

The Washington Herald representative
also asked whether Mr.. Putnam favored
a half-holiday the year round. to which
odr. Putnam replied that II II were adopt
ed generally, some special provision
10 directly serving a large general public
and the investigator. the reader and the
