PAY ESTIMATES omit
POLICE and FIREMEN
Plea for Consideration of Their Needs
Made by Correspondent.

Policemen and firemen Of the District
were not included in estimates for in
creased salaries filed with the House
Appropriations Committee by the Dis
trict Commissioners. A plea for their
consideration is contained in the follow
ing letter:
Editor The Washington Herald: There
is a great deal being said and done at
present about raising the wages OF all
government employees. I am heartily in
favor of 1t and hope that 1t can be done.
Please permit me to ask one question.
Why are police and flremen left out ?
Don't they need and deserve 1t Just as
much as any other employe? They are
exposed to all kinds of danger and they
have TO be out in all kinds of weather.
No matter how bitter cold the weather
may be, policemen are not allowed to go
inside to get warm. They never have
a Sunday or a holiday off and only twenty
days annual leave.
II clerks need to have their wages
raised to make them more efficient. when
they have Sundays, holidays. half day
OF Saturday for three months and thirty
days annual leave, how do we expect
the police and firemen to be efficient with
the little that they get?
1t costs just as much to keep their fam
lilies as it does the employees families.
Let me plead that they be included in the
bill
ONE WHO KNOWS.

CAPITOL POLICEMEN
in UNDERPAID CLASS
Correspondent Makes Plea for Men
Who Serve Under Patronage.

The fact that they serve directly under
the observation of members Of Congress
does not make members of the Capitol
police force certain that they will be
included in any general increase Of wages
that may be granted at the present ses-
sion. Attention is called to this fact in
the following letter:
Editor. The Washington Herald: Why
doesn't somebody say a word for the en-
ployes of the Capitol who work on pat
ronage? I refer particularly to the Capt.
tol police officers. Now, admit We work
only eight hours and get thirty days
leave of absence each year. have no
complaint about the hours Of labor or
the working conditions, but 1 do think
we should be considered when salary in
creases are considered. We get a little
more than 81 600 a year and out OF that
We must support our families. Most of
the men come from other cities and move
their families here. They never know
how long they are going to work. be-
cause II Republican Congress comes IN
they are all fired, and then they lose
the job when the member of Congress
who Is back Of them Is defeated.
We ought to get enough to lay a dollar
or two aside and I hope Congress will
consider US. We have to 60 home to
vote every year and so our salary with
out this car fare figures up less than
81 900 a year.
I sincerely hope the government clerks
get their increase, because they need 1t,
and hope that when the raises are be-
ing passed out they won't forget the Cap
itol policemen.
Thanks to The Washington Herald for
keeping this thing alive.
