Anxious to Get Pay.
Last night all Of the companies In the
Third Regiment we're mustered with the
regular militia muster. which precedes
payday. The guardsmen are all set "a
receive their money and say they do not
care how soon Captain Wilson pays
them of.
Great disappointment was voiced by
Government employees in the militia
over Comptroller Warwicks decision
yesterday that they are not entitled tc
Government department pay for the
twelve days in June they spent IN camr
unless they had twelve days leave com.
ing to them Those who had twelve
days leave will receive departmental
pay as well as army pay. while those
who had already used their leave Will
receive only soldiers pay. This means
that some Of the Government employee
In the militia have forfeited $50 or "
by their twelve days stay In camp.
Considerable regret was expressed By
OF the l0a men employed In the navy
yard. These men include many non
commissioned officers and several com
missioned officers.
AS the pay OF some OF the soldiers ir
the army is higher than that they re-
ceive at the navy yard. they may re
sign their civilian positions to remain
In the service. None OF them, however
had reached a decision on this today.
Recruiting Needs Boosting.
The loss OF these men. together with
the liberal wedding out by the medica
officers makes recruiting for the militia
, all the more imperative.
