sion for horizontal raise in pay for
District employees. the District of CO.

the fact that il is most inconsistent
to deny the District employees the and
10 per cent increase granted to federal
employees under the legislative. execu-

almost in the same breath endeavor to
increase their hours of work
The hoped-for blanket increase was
knocked out on a point of order raised
by Representative Rainey. who made
vigorous speech CharacteriZing all pro-
posed increases as the greatest salary

Position of Committee Stated.

The appropriations committee takes the
ground that il would have been better to
adopt the rule proposed for the legislative
bill allowing no amendments and no
debate on the and 10 per cent raise.
However, friends of the clerks were en-
tirely dissatisfied. they thought and pro-
cured from the rules committee a rula
which permitted of amendments. Ii Will
be recalled that Representative Heating
tried to double the raise and Represents
tive Nolan endeavored to amend the bill
by inserting his minimum wage PROPOSE
tion. All this was most disconcertlng to
the appropriations committee and to many
House leaders. who held the opinion that
Ii would be easy TO get through whole
series Of blanket raises of . and 10 par
cent for employees up TO s1.S00. They
adopted and an ironClad principle follow
ed in each bill there would be trouble al
the way through
Therefore the District bill would have
been written with a . and 10 per cent
horizontal increase proviSion-1O per cent
raise for employees below $1,000 and J per
cent for employees at $1,000 to $500. ex-
cepting the firemen. police and teachers
for whom special care has been taken.
In fact there was a tacit understanding
among House leaders that such a pro-
vision would be Incorporated in the Dis
trct bill. The rules committee. it had
been assumed, was lined up TO bring in
rule hedging this special legislation with
so many safeguards that no one could
amend it. and. better still. that no
one could knock it out on point of or
der. No new proposal has the slightest
chance under House rules if brought in
tackled to an appropriation bill. unless
specially armor-plated in the rules COM
plainly no changes shall be made in the
proposal under consideration

HAS NOT LOST HOPE FOR
INCREASES IN SALARIES
Commissioner Brownlow Still Ex-
poets Congress Will Provide for
District Employees.

Commissioner Brownlow has by no
means lost hope that salary increases
will be provided for District employees
before Congress ends its present ses-
sion. The Commissioner said today
that he was extremely hopeful that
provision would be made in the Sen
ate for the same increases in salaries
of District employees as have been pro-
vided for federal employees. All three
members of the board of Commission
ers. he said. believe that those who
work for the local government are en-
titled TO increases.
He pointed out that the service rem
dered by many of the poorly paid
clerks is arduous. and that they have
to meet the same living conditions con-
fronting the employees of the federal
departments.
That Congress will see the justice of
this claim and draw no distinction be-
tween the two groups of government
workers. as far as salary raises are
concerned. is also the confident belief
of the heads of the various depart
ments of the municipality.
Evening star., 1916-12-22
Employees Not Satisfied.

But the organizations of federal EN-
ployes. District employees. etc, were not
satisfied and went to the'rules commit
tee. High officials of the American
Federation of Labor were among the
visitors. They succeeded in getting be-
fore the House a rule which permitted
amendments. The possibilities of long
debate and delay Were so great that
the appropriations committee then de-
cIded to make no more strenuous at
tempts to protect the blanket raise
matter
So when the District bill came into
the House ii had no provision for a
horizontal increase. and. Furthermore
when Chairman Page rather mechani-
cally offered the regular 3 and 10 per
cent raise amendment II was present
ed in manner exposing its most vul-
nerable side and was promptly stabbed

Believed District Will Be Included

1t is considered probable that the
employees of the District will be
corded the same treatment by the Sem
ate committee is accorded the en-
ployes of the federal government, and
that whatever increases are given the
latter will be given the former.
Work on the legislative. executive
and judicial appropriation bill will be-
gin January J. when subcommittee,
headed by Senator Martin of Virginia.
will take the measure up for consid-
ration.
1t is known that many of the mem
bers of the Senate appropriations com
mittee favor increasing the salaries of
both the federal and the District en-
ployesi There is some difference of
opinion. however. as to the best method
of making such increases. On the one
hand senators contend that horizontal
raise is not the correct method to
adopt. but that the case of each class of
employees should be considered its
merits. ON the other hand, senators
contend that the only practical way of
making the increases is by the hori-
Zoutal plan.
Senator Penrose of PENNSYLVANIA
prepared an amendment to the District
niil in line with his amendment to the
legislative. executive and judicial ap
preparation bill. increasing salaries of
th. employees of the District. Under
his amendment the employees of the
District whose salaries are $1,000 or
less would receive an increase of 20
per cent. Those whose salaries are from
$l.200 to $500 would receive an in
crease of 10 per cent This is just double
the amount of the increase provided by
the House for those federal employees
covered in the Legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill. and instead
of having the increase halt at 81 800 he
has continued the increase to those re-
ceiving $4,000. In his absence from the
Senate today the amendment was Of
fered for him by Senator Gallinger of
New Hampshire

Passes From House to Senate;
Is Referred to Committee

The District appropriation bill, whlch
passed the House late yesterday after
noon, was received by the Senate today
and referred to the committee on ap-
preparations. 1t will be handled by
subcommittee consisting of Senator
John Walter Smith of Maryland, chair
man, and Senators Lea, Owen, Robin

Hearings on the measure will be begun

recess. it is expected.
The retention by the House of the
half -and-half principle of appropriat-
ing for the District has eliminated the
recent annual disagreement between
the Senate anu House over the method
of making appropriations for the cap
ital and will result. it is believed. in
speedy enactment of the District bill
into law.
The matter of increases in pay for
the employees of the District will be
considered carefully by the subcommit-
tee. The Senate appropriations COM
