CAPITOL MEN Lend
AID in Wage MOVE
Senator La Toilette and Representative
O'Shaunessy Indorse Battle.

Seven years ago Senator La Toilette,
Of Wisconsin, advocated increased wages
for the poorer paid government en-
ployes and yesterday he declared that he
was grateful that Congress was begin
ming to recognize the problem of the man
who must support family on a meager
wage.
Representative George F. O'Shaunessy,
of Rhode Island, Is a former government
employe, and he declared unreservedly
for increased pay and retirement legis-
iation for the government worker.
Senator La Toilette believes that the
salaries Of government employees receiv'
ing under 81 1,S0O should be increased.
II believe in giving the substantial in
crease to the little fellows" he said yes
terday, "the employees who get 500 or $50
or $500 a year. Seven years ago, when
the measure to increase the salaries OF
Congressman came up. advocated an in
crease In the salaries of the government
employees. In the last year commodities
for the bare support Of a family have
gone up "a per cent. Just think what g
struggle the men who get the small sal.

have a slight advantage over the en-
ployes in the business world in the
matter of salary. but after that they
are at disadvantage. Since salaries
have not been generally increased
since 1S54-an old tale now. but true
one-and since living expenses have
nearly doubled within the last year

an increase. and I think that the Nolan

NDORSES wage fight
Prominent Pastor Gives Four Reason.
Why Salaries Should Be Raised.

Commencing on the campaign begun
by The Washington Herald several
weeks ago to increase the pay of gov
ernment clerks, Rev. DR.. James L. Cor
don, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional Church, last night said:
Il gladly indorse the movement for
the following reasons:
First, because of the increase in
the cost of living, which makes II
almost impossible for Federal en-
ployes to live as they should at the
present rate OF pay
Second, because the so-called com
mercial progress in all lines of work
has not been nor is it at present being
shared by these employees
Third, because of the class of men
and women that the service of the
government requires and secures for
its work.
Fourth. because increased compen-
satioa will in the end mean increased
efficiency and betterment of the civil
service on the whole"

ed. There are few II any government
