Ostermann says, among other things
of Importance:
II expect to leave New York City
about June 18th in an attempt to
make record trip from coast to
coast In ten days. Kindly keep
stragglers and papooses off the main
street of Ely at the time of my pass
ing through as ! may not have time
to stop and attend an inquest. :.
Again keeping in mind that Ely
is, and always will be on the Lincoln
highway, am. etc.
Let Salt Lake remember that our
business men are here to stay, and
when they start something theJ are
there to stay. Every day our bus
mess men are cutting off their busi-
ness relations with Salt Lake City.
On Friday one of our most substan-
tial men cancelled four standing or
ders for regular shipments amount
ing to large sums and placed his
business elsewhere. Not day goes
by that some action is not taken.
This is q pretty fght-watch the

Contends Opinion Clerks
Have Sinecure Is False:
Extra Hour Reduces Pay

10 the Editor Of The STAR
There undoubtedly exists general
opinion that the clerks and all other en-
ploycs of the government in Washington
hold sort of sinecure, that they are
abundantly paid for the service they
have fitted themselves to render and that
Uncle Sam is a model and most benevo-
lent employer.
Whence arises this general opinoin Of
the public so inconsistent with fact? 1t
when such conditions, on small
scale. were known to exist; the
spokesman, who leisurely performed
same kind of work as now dis
patched by the civil service employee
stood in most peculiar favor with some
power of the legislative body. and his
interests were for the same peculiar rea-
son well looked after. But this state Of
affairs ended in the year 1883. when the
civil service laws took over the power
of appointment. Since then the relation
of clerk and legislator has not been so
close. However, tradition still has it
that the clerks in Washington enjoy a
cinch.
This antiquated belief of the uninquir-
ing public has hung as a milestone
around the neck of the department clerk.
1t has kept Congress from giving atten-
| ton to the welfare of this class of work
ers. The conditions of today, which the
clerk must meet face to face, especially
if he is a man of family, no one in au-
thority has given much concern: conse-
quently the outlook is anything but
cheering. The prices of commodities have
I! gone up many per cent over those of
past years. but the price paid for office
! labor has not changed.
The clerks. coming as they do from
educated communities of the United
! States. are too American and have too
much civic pride to seek relief by any
, concerted movement that would present
the spectacle Of strike, which, indeed,

SPLIT-SALARY SCANDAL
INVESTIGATION RESUMED
Mayor Thompson of Chicago Wit.

by Charge.

CHICAGO. February 2S.-The civil
service commission will resume it's in
vestigation of the split" salary scan
dal this afternoon, one of the chief
witnesses to be called being Mayor
William Hale Thompson. The mayor
will appear in answer to a subpoena
issued at the request of counsel for
Mrs. Louise Osborne Rowe, accused by
Mrs. Page Waller Eaton of collecting
one-third of Mrs. Eaton's salary for the
benefit of Mrs. Margaret Mivelaz. sis
ter-in-law of the mayor. Mrs. Eaton
charged that the division of her sal
airy was made on the orders of Mrs
Thompson, wife of the mayor.
Another development of the affair
was made known today with the state
ment of States Attorney MacLay Hoyne
that he would make an investigation of
the pay roll graft charges. The inves-

ing which an incoming chief is so fond
of promulgating seems to be designed
to harass the clerks. And why the
inteilieent body Of men. Who SO seldom
privileges. But these administrative
matters, it is hoped. will find solution
in time. The clerk has grievances to
an American citizen just as much as
the rest of his countrymen. and has
right to protest against existing con-
ditions which deprive him of his rights
cent livelihood. AS a Westinghouse
he has no voice in his government. If
he retains a residence in his home
state. his moderate salary forbids his
going home to vote; besides election
day is not a holiday in the District
of Columbia and every clerk could not
leave his work if he wished.
Salary Now Too Small.
The clerks salary is too small con-
sidering his bodily needs and the
acted of him.
Extra time was added to his working
day about twelve years ago, and the
hours for Saturdays during the sum-
mer months were heightened an addi-
tional MALT hour seven years ago-all
without any increased compensation.
More general good feeling would pre-
vail if the government offices would
close every Saturday at noon the year
around. as do banks for example. Even
the leading hardware stores now hang
out the sign I'VE close at l pm. Sat
urdayss:" Why. does not Uncle Sam
himself set some of these good ex-
amples for other employers to follow,
thereby beneflting thousands of en-
ployes in private establishments?
This cautious trend of economy, be-
gat in simple fear so paralyzing to the
nations development. similarly affects
all industries throughout the country.
but 1T first has its distressing effects
on the government employees. Vacan-
cies in many instances are not filled
resulting in heaping extra burdens on
the rest of the force. Promotions are
at a standstill and work is done in a
cherries mood, owing to the fact that
the employees best efforts do not meet
with encouragement.
One might ask why the government
clerk does not get out. In reality a
large per cent are resigning every year.
But 1T might also be asked. why does
not the coal miner or the textile work
er quietly get out. The two questions
both have one answer: The worker has
remained in his vocation too long, and
has unified himself for anything else

Germany has not sufficiently recognized
what Hungary has done for its ally. de-
clared that this viewpoint was great
error.
The actual status of affairs. he said,
was that Germany had done much more
for Hungary than Hungary for Ger

to supply her own needs. but had
helped her allies also In the way Of

.BORLAND PLAN SCORED
BY REV. D. H. MARTIN
Pastor of Dumbarton NJ. E. Church
Characterizes Proposal as
an Extortion.

In the course of his sermon at Dunn

morning the pastor, Rev. d. II. Martin,
attacked Representative Borland's plan
to increase the working hours of gov
eminent clerks and employees and exco-
rated the Missouri representatives.
statement that the plan proposed in his
rider to the legislative. executive and
judicial appropriation bill would save
several millions of dollars to the gov
eminent.
'1f 100000 can be saved to the
government by adding one hour to the
working day of the clerks and other
employees of the government said
Rev. Martin, "why not add four or five
hours to the working day of such en-
ployes and thus save the Treasury

congressman Well Paid.
Congress has seen to it, Rev. Mar
tin continued, that it's members re-
ceive good compensation, and nobody
even murmured protest" he said.
They get the benefit of large sums for
mileage and other economic gifts.
Now Representative Borland has the
auda city to propose to add an hour to
the government clerks day. This is an
extortion. 1t is not economy to save
money at the expense of the employe.
Rather have less statues and less
public buildings at distant cross roads,
if economy is sought.
Increase the government clerks pay
instead of lacking on another hour.
Living cost has always increased, and
the clerk has had no raise in pay to
meet the increased expenses of liv

methods as taking the bread and but

ing the hours of labor.
Case Of Plain Extortion.
when government says to its peo-
Pile: We will make you work two or
three hours more day. it is reverting
to the days of slavery. 1t is taking an
unfair advantage of people who are
weak in their defense. 1t is plain ex-
tortion.
The idea of the Borland amendment
seems to be to equalize government la
Dor. 1t cannot accomplish it. The
government employe, if he is working
seven hours a day, is giving value re-
ceived for the pay he gets

Mr.. Gompers Aroused.

In an interview with representa-
tive of The Star today as to the inter-
est of organized labor in the fight, Mr..
Gompers, president of the American
Federation, said:
We are not going to tamely submit
to the Borland attempt. The trend OF
the times in every industry is to reduce
the hours of labor. If it be true that
there may be desire to equal1ze the
hours of labor-bring them to uniform.
ity-why not make the hours OF all
seven hours a day instead of increas-
ing to eight the hours of those VINO
now work seven a day?
The time is too short to enter into
lengthy consideration of the subject
now, but all can rest assured that the
American Federation of Labor will not
tamely submit to this. Whether Mr..
Borland's intention is good or other
wise, his attempt is to impose upon the
government service a very great IN
justice"

please pardon the liberty, but in my
humble opinion no human being. espe-
cially a public officer, should assume to

power of the government to impose longer
ones would be an act Of brutal despotism.
