This amendment in effect is what the
officials of the Federal Employees Union
and the American Federation of Labor
desire. 1t differs from the section al
ready included in the bill in that it makes
the increases permanent instead of for
one year.
The House yesterday considered the
District bill and the point of order was
made against all increases recommended
by the District Commissioners. One of
the first was the point Of order against
the 81, 900 increase recommended by the

Big Christmas Tree Raised in Thomp-

The important part which night schools
play in the Americanizing of foreigners
and their appreciation of them was
shown at q Christmas festival last night

Pupils representing practically all of
the larger nations OF the world partici-
pated In the program. The exercises
were presided ove by Miss Rebecca f.

The program was opened by the sing

ent Joined in singing with a patriotism
which branded them all as Americans.
Features OF the program were songs in
the native tongues and dances and exer-
cises of other countries.
A brilliantly decorated Christmas tree
occupied a prominent place. Alfred
Buocolo was Santa Claus. He distributed
buttons to the teachers inscribed:

American nag was attached. The teach
ers In turn gave button to each Of the
pupils. Santa also gave the teachers
roses.

URGES NATIONWIDE
SALARY PUBLICITY
Federal Employe Says Country Papers
Should Be Told Real Facts.

A campaign of education for the
people of the country. to the end that
they may be impressed with the necessity
of having Congress grant higher salaries
for government employees Is the sug-
gestion of a government clerk as an
effective means Of winning support to
the cause.
He believes that direct influence would
be brought to bear upon members OF Con-
gress by their own constituency were
the small newspapers throughout the
country familiarized with the working
conditions of Uncle Sans employees. His
letter follows:
Editor, Washington Herald: It may
seem that many of the members of
Congress are unfair to the depart
ment employees in referenc to this
ploys but not be unfair to the Congress
man. First of all, it must be remem
bered that a member of Congress is the
instructed representative of his con-
stituency. If he would serve them
honestly. he is in honor bound to reflect
their wishes in the National House of
Representatives II he does not do so,
it Is not likely that the honor will again
be conferred upon him.
A Business Question.
The matter of the disbursement of the
peoples taxes is a business question.
If you sent a representative of your lodge
or business concern to any convention
you would naturally expect him to re-
fleet your wish in that conrention. When
the people of the country were educated
in reference to the Importance Of good
roads, for instance, they spoke their SEN
timents to the Congress through their
representatives, and the result was the
annual appropriation Of millions of dol
lars for this important work.
Now. in reference to the working con-
ditions and salaries of government en-
ployes. the people Of the country are
educated. but unfortunately, in the wrong
way. That has been done in this way:
For example, a young man living in a
fairly good sized town, some hundred
miles from Washington takes the civil
service examination and receives an ap-
pointment in the government depart
ments. The chances are at that time
he is a single man. and can get along
pretty nicely even on the entrance sal
airy.
Pays Home Folk Visit.
In a year or two at the outside he
wants to pay the home folk a visit. OF

Pastor of Second Baptist Church In

Rev. Howard l. Stewart, OF Second
Baptist Church, last night Joined the
clergymen of the city in the movement
inaugurated by The Washington Herald
to obtain larger salaries for Federal en-
ployes.
Being new in the city, he hesitated to
say just why there should be an increase
in the wages of the employees. but as
serted that on general principles he
thinks IT ought to be done. especially
since these employees have had no in
crease since 1878.
The fact that there has been an
enormous increase in the cost OF living
makes the present situation one that
beggers description in many instances.
