Chicago BEARD Of Trade.)

Chicago. Aug. 15.-Cold chills were
chasing up and down the spine Of the
average grain merchant OF England
today. He was anxious to secure
wheat from any country that would
sell 1t to him and ne was willing to
meet the views of those owning II.
This fact was shown by tho scramble
for grain at Liverpool this morning
when advances OF . to 10d. were es-
tablished. These gains were made
previous to the opening OF the Chi
cago market and when the opening
bell sounded here there was some who
beiittled the strength displayed at
Liverpool and they proceeded to sell
prices downward. Tho declines fur
nished the early sellers with food for

Overjoyed at Action,
Says Thomas Grant;
Gives Credit to Herald

Thomas Grant. Secretary Of the Cham
ber of Commerce:
am overioy"d to learn OF the action
OF the House in behalf OF underpaid Fed
eral employees. It Is victory in which
every member of the Chamber OF Com
merCe is interested. For nine years the
chamber has been working indefatigably
for increased salaries for Federal en-
pIoyes. 1t has circulated petitions. adopt
ed resolutions, appointed committees. Wis
tied the Capitol, and spent hundreds of
dollars in postage. AT last it looks as
though the work has not been in vain.
But this is also a distinct victory for
The Washington Herald. The campaign
waged by The Herald undoubtedly had
marked influence in stirring sentiment
In the District so thoroughly that the
House members at last realized that the
granting of increased salaries was i'm
perative. due to the high cost of living.
All WASHINGTON should be jubilant over
this legislative victory, for Washington
Is composed very largely Of PERSONS who
receive their pay from Uncle Sam and
who are directly benefited by the action
Of the House.

Urging Greater Increase,

Representative Frank Buchanan. of
Illinois:
There never has been question as to
where l have stood when the rights of
the workingman, the wage Garner. have
been concerned. My amendment would
have given the Federal rmploye up to
2.50O a percentage Of this increase.

Congress will analyzc it to this point
that the employe who is able to lay
aside a dollar for the protection of his
wife and his family is a happier and
better employe. they will see the efhci-
ency OF salary revision upward.
l know. and every wage Garner knows.
that If he does not have to worry about
the future of his family he can do bet
ter work, he is more efficient in every
respect
The Washington Herald has taken up
a question that is bound to become ma
tional. 1t has taken it up with a spirit
and enthusiasm that has brought about
a measure Of victory. But It has not
realized its full need of success. Nor
will it realize it until capital and labor
reach the conclusion that their interests
are common.

G.. S. Shreve Commends
Herald and Congress
for Increases Voted

charles =. ShrcVe. lawyer and realty
broke. and president OF the Federation
OF citizens Associations:
The action of the House in voting In
crease Of 5 and 10 per cent for Federal
employees was most Creditab Bile. | say
with a feeling of certainty that the Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Associations stands
as a unit for increased salaries for GO
ernment employees. All of us are heartily
in favor of large salaries being granted
TO meet the increase cost OF the neces-
stiles OF life.
The only reason the federation has
taken no definite action on the question
of increased salaries for Federal workers
is that the matter has not been formally
presented by one of the member as
soCiations. 1t Is likely. however. that
at the next meeting, il the Senate has
not already approved the proposed in
creases Endorsement will be given the
plan. Then, II the Senate opposes the
increases, a committee from the Fedora
ton will visit the Capitol.
The campaign waged by The Washing
ton Herald unQuestionably was one of
the factors that brought about the IA
vorable action. The Herald has devoted
q great deal Of space to the movement,
and as The Herald is read widely at
the Capitol. 1t is only reasonable to
conclude that the paper had a wonder
full influence in arousing almost universal
sentiment in favor of the project.
