BILL WOULD INCREASE
POSTAL Clerks Wages
Senator MARITIME Introduces Measure
Setting Minimum Salary of 81 900.

Senator MARITIME, Of New Jersey, the
latest to enlist in the fight to aid under
paid Federal clerks, took the first definite
step in that direction in the Senate this
session by introducing a bill fixing a
minimum salary of $1,000 a year and a
maximum salary of $3.50 for postoflce
clerks in the first and second class post
Offices and of letter carriers in the city
law it would benefit about 10000 employees,
1t Is said.
Under the bill the clerks and letter
carriers are to be divided into six grades,
as follows: First grade. salary $1,000;
second grade, salary S1,1O0; third grade,
salary $500; fourth grade, salary 81, 800;
fifth grade, salary s1,40o; sixth grade,
salary 81, 500.
The bill specifies that all promotions
OF the clerks and carriers shall be made
at the beginning of the quarter following
the expiration of one years service In
the next lower grade.
To grant full justice to the employee
the bill states that no employe shall be
denied promotion until the postmaster
shall notify him in writing OF the rea-
sons and the employe has been given a
chance to submit an answer in writing.
Senator Marines bill took the usual
course of being referred to the committee
on postoffices and postroads. He de-
clared yesterday afternoon his intention
OF pressing for its early consideration,
and those knowing Senator Marines
well-known impatience over the delay In
getting committees to report measures,
are sure that he will keep his word.

Democratic Floor Leader in Senate OPP
poses Horizontal Pay Raise.

Senator Kern, OF Indiana. Democratic
floor leader Of the Senate and chairman
of the Democratic steering committee
Is willing to consider legislation provid-
ing increased salaries for government
employees, provided the plan involved
does not propose a horizontal increase.
Voicing the opinion that he believed
justice should be granted employees Of
the government, especially in view OF the
increas sed cost OF foodstuffs, Senator Kern
branded as ''ridiculously low the wages
received by many thousands of Federal
employees.
1t Is these employees who are trying
TO exc out an existence on scant $500
or 500 a year and thousands at 5000
whom Senator Kern believes should profit
through carefully prepared legislation.
Asked if he did not favor a general
increase all along the line, Senator Kern
said emphaticallyc Nothing doing on a

would receive for the same kind of work
If employed by a private concern.
To Senator Smith this appears the logi-
cal solution Of the problem before the
government clerk. He declared that he
always had favored justice to the govern
ment emplOye but did not believe he
should receive more than his worth. sim

BISHOP, RUSSELL urges
INCREASE IN SALARIES
Roman Catholic Prelate Says Federal
Employees Deserve Raise.

Following the example Of other pastors
who have commented on the matter of
an increased wage for District and Fed
eral employees, Bishop William T. Rus
sell, of st. Patrick's Parish, last night
added his approval to the campaign.
He went so far as to say that he would
not only indorse it but would be glad to
see legislation which would compel a
minimum wage in the District
His commendation was based on the
fact that with the increased cost of liv-
ing, 1t becomes more and more difficult,
and indeed almost impossible, for men
and women receiving small salaries to
exc out living. Then, too, as matters
stand In the District. he said, the en-
ployes can look to no other source than
corrective legislation to better conditions,
He also pointed to the fact that no
worker can work with efficiency when he
is uncertain as to his future and that
present wages do not promise anything
in the way of savings for the rainy
day"

cause?
\ loading c~arburetion system IS one
in which there IS excessive condensa-
ton, thus making the mixture too rich
and causing trouble. 4 motor with a
very long inlet manifold IS apt to load
up, as 1t IS called, at low speeds be
cause the flow Of mixture through the
manifold IS so slow comparatively that
there Is an opportunity for condensa-
ton. The liquid gasoline resulting
from the condensation drops down into
the carburetor and Is carried up again
into the motor. The real trouble, how
ever, is caused by the gasoline globules
travelling to convenient cylinders only,
leaving II or two perhaps free to get
a good mixture. The remedy for load
ing IS to get additional heat to the
manifold so as to assist vaporiZation,
