STILL HOPE FOR RELEASE
Third Regiment Men Look for

CAMP WILSON. San Antonio, Tex,
Nov. 28.-Hopes of the District militia
men returning to Washington by
christmas were revived today, when
they learned of the agreement to
withdraw General Pershing's column
from Mexico by January l5.
While many of the citizen soldiers
from the National Capital believe
thew will be ordeed back to the Dor.
der II not into Mexico before many
months, most OF them think the regu'
lar army can cope with the situation,
and that they will be mustered out Of
the Federal service.
OFFICERS OF the Southern department
said today they had no advance In
formation concerning the plans of the
War Department TO withdraw militia
from the border.
The District militiamen shiyered In
the cold today, or sat huddled around
the stoves in their tents, discussing
the probabilities of "eating Christmas
dinner at home"

vantage al an employer. Up at the
top of his organization, where the
most desirable positions are to be
found and, Of course, the best COM
pensations are paid, there has been
one increase after another in the last
sixty years. But down in the lower
ranks the old ante-bellum schedule
continues in force. The department
workers in Washington are under
paid, and the municipal employees
work under a scale still lower than
that Of the National Government for
like services. The demand for a rs
per cent horizontal advance OF de-
partmental salaries can be sustained
by comparison Of either compensa-
tions paid or living expenses that
must be borne, anywhere in the
country. Is It possible that Con-
gress will again refuse to recognize

GOVERNMENT WAGE PROBLEM

II is at least n remarkable condi-
ton. in which the Federal Govern
ment interposes in order to increase
the wages Of n great class Of en-
ployes in corporate service. while It
has for a generation resisted all i'm
portunities to grant a fair wage
scale to its own workers. For more
than sixty years the schedule Of sal
aries in the Government civil service
has gone unchanged. II has recently
been demonstrated that the average
compensation Of the department en-
ployes in Washington has actually
fallen, because Of the greater pro-
portional increase in the number Of
people working on the lower rounds
Of the wage ladder. There will
hardly be anybody with the hardi-
hood to seek for another service any
where in the country in which par
allel condition has obtained. ,
Last summer, when the threat Of
q railroad strike was echoed to the
country, Congress lost no time deal
ing with the subject. II passed rush
Legislation. to grant in effect that
which the organized railroad en-
ployes demanded, There was no
time for investigation of the merits;
so the law was passed first. and the
investigation was provided for, to
take place later! An anomalous
and unprecedented method; but the
defense was offered. that there a
peculiar emergency necessitated it.
How about the emergency that
yconfronts the workers in the Gov
eminent classifications! Their con-
dition has been under investigation
repeatedly, decade after decade. II
took about as many hours to act on
the demands of the railroad men, as
Il has taken years to consider, with
out acting on, the necessities Of the
Government force. Now, the organ.
lied labor bodies of the country are
putting themselves back of a gen.
eral demand to lower hours of all
railroad employees, which means in
fact to increase their wages; but still
no attention to the Governments
own underpaid servants.
One after another, the great cor
porate and private employers are
granting large increases in salaries
and wages. because of the NANTES,
necessity for such action in view Of
the rising scale ofliving costs. But
nothing happens to the Government
salsried and wage-earning classes.
