Congress to increase the pay of gov

!. THE undersigned petitioners, all en-
ployes of the federal and District gov
ernment. respectfully request you to
urge upon Congress the necessity of
making provision for an immediate in
crease in the pay of government en-
sployes. We take this means of bring
dng to your personal attention the fact
that, because of the excessive cost of
the actual necessities of life. it Is
barely possible for many of us to exist
son our present salaries. The diff
sculties with which some of the gov
7ernment employees have to contend in
trying to raise families on their pres
tent low wages are clearly shown IN
,the hearings on the Nolan bill Oh. r.
I1ST6, Sixty-fourth Congress. first ses-
.sion), to which official record we re-
.spectfully invite your attention. The
present salary scale of government
.employes was fixed in 1853. and has
been constantly lowered by the In
screase in number of low-salaried posi-
,tions.
1T is a matter of official record that
dhere has been very material increase
in the cost of all necessities of life in
recent years. Bulletin No. 200 of the
bureau of labor statistics, United States
Department of Labor, shows that the
increase was continuous from 1897 to
1915. Later publications from the same
source show that the increase during
the calendar year of 1916 has been es
.pecially rapid in practically all com
.moditieS.

Think United States Should Act.

the United States should be prompt
-as are private corporations in recog-
mixing the fact that this continued in

undue hardships on all employees. 1t
is a matter of common knowledge that
many private and quasi-public corpora

reau Of labor statistics is now engaged
in compiling information on this mat

7, In view of the conditions above de-

the government to afford immediate
relief in this matter, and we believe
that Congress should be willing to
promptly grant an increase in the sal
