Contrast in Action.

Several government officials in dis
cussing the salary question with re-
porter for The Star today said they
could not reconcile the action Of the
Senate in approving the Is per cent in
creases for the clerks to members of
the House with the action rejecting the
. and 10 per cent increases for gov
ernnfent employees generally. If the
Senate insisted in pairing expenditures
it should be consistent and cut all
down, they said.
Difficulty Is being met by some Off
cials in getting men for vacancies in
their departments, and the number OF
vacancies is growing, because of at
fractions outside of the service, said
one government official. Young men
and women absolutely will not enter
the government service at the prevail
ing salaries, when private industry is
Offering much better pay. 1t is not
only not getting men and women, but
1t IS losing those whom it now has.
Secretary Redfield expects to appear
before the Senate committee on com
merce either this afternoon or tomor-
row to make an effort to have retained
In the appropriations for his depart
ment an increase in salary from 2,400
to $4,000 in the pay of lighthouse in
spectorS. These men are trained men,
their work is technical and they have
property responsibilities running into
the millions. Unless their salaries are
increased, the Secretary said, the de-
partment may find 1t difficult to keen
them in the service

PR0JECTILE CONTRACT
GIVEN BRITISH COMPANY
Secretary Daniels Tried in Vain to
Secure Reduction in Price by
American Makers.

Contracts for armor-piercing navy
projectiles of the fourteen and sixteen
inch type, totaling ss,141,0oo, today
were awarded by Secretary Daniels to
the Hadfields, Limited, the English
munition company.
Bids from American firms were more
than 5000 shell in excess of that sub
mitted by Hadfields In announcing the
award, Secretary Daniels said the de-
partment had made every effort to Sc
cure reductions in prices which would
enable 1t to give a contract to an Ameri-
can concern, but had failed TO obtain
satisfactory bids.
The question of delivery. aside from
cost of the shells, was an important fac
tor in favor of Hadfields On the 4,5O0
fourteen-inch projectiles delivery was
guaranteed in nineteen months, and for
the 5000 sixteen-incb sixteen months
was specified. Time proposals from
American bidders were approximately
twice those of the British company.

WOULD VIOLATE ANY LAW
MAKING STRIKE UNLAWFUL
Samuel Gompers Appears Before
House Committee to Protest Pro-
posed Railway Bill.

President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor told the House com
merce committee today that If any legts-
lation to make a strike unlawful were
enacted. he, for one, could be counted
upon as one of those who would yio-
late 1T.
There is something deeper and more
important than continuous operation of
trains, as much as that may be desir-
able said he.
IL. Il. Perham. president of the Order
of Railroad 1'elegraphers, also opposed
the bill.
Chairman Adamson fatty told them
that the legislation proposed was in the
interest of the public and not to please
either side. The first section of the bill.
however, to permit exceptions to the
eight-hour law in the discretion of the
interstate commerce commission has
been dropped. and. he said. would not be
further considered.
Gompers told the committee the bill.
which is part of President Wilson s
railway legislation program was the
most far-reaching and fundamental to
come before Congress in sixty years.

SEE SLIM PROSPECT
OF HIGHER SALARIES
Members OF Senate, Friends of
Federal Employees, May
Lose Fight.
FARM BOARD PAY DEBATED

The fight to grant the lower paid
federal employees Increases in salaries
appeared to be defeated today when the
Senate resumed consideration of the
legislative. executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill.
Democratic senators not members of
the appropriations committee and who
have been in favor of increasing the
pay of the clerks said today that they
would support the committee in rec
ommendation that no increases be al
lowed.
That being the case, there appeared
to be small chance that the Smoot
amendment allowing increases for those
employees receiving $1,000 a year or
less would prevail

F0RESEES WASTE IN
PAYRA|SE REFUSAL
Mr.. RedfieId Asserts Govern
ment Will Lose Because of
Less Efficient Work.
SCOUTS FEAR OF DEFICIT

Those who are leading in the fight
to prevent tho proposed increases in
the salaries of government employees
should consult their own wives as TO
the cost of living in their own homes,
said Secretary Redfield today, apropos
Of the Senate committee action in re-
jecting the proposed increases of 8
and 10 per cent for these workers.
T wonder" said the Secretary. 'ff
the men who are so eager to prevent
any increases in the salaries of gov
ernment employees have consulted their
own wives concerning the cost of liv-
ing. If they had there would be a
different story"
Secretary Redfield implied that the
action of the committee in throwing
out the increases, was wasteful to the
government. He characterized it as
poor economy, and said that the gov
ernment would lose in the end many
more millions of dollars than it would
cost it to provide the small increases
carried in the appropriation bills

issued to reimburse the government for
the money which was taken from the
current revenues. This money can be
used for the preparedness program.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-01-17
Will Continue the Fight.

The advocates OF the clerks increa Sc
in pay will not give up the fight, how
ever, even if the Senate does sustain
the appropriations committee and al
lows no increases. They plan to carry
the fight into the conference which will
follow between the Senate and the
House on the bill, and will do all in
their power to have the House back up
its original provision for salary in
creases.
The deficit which is facing the federal
Treasury is given as the cause of the
Senate committees action in striking
tne salary increases from the bill. and
this deficit has been used as a club to
get the other democratic senator's into
line. Some of them stated today that
they believed 1t would be far better to
curtafl the expenditures being made for
preparedness and permit the increases
for the clerks as provided by the House
Nevertheless they said that they would
support the Senate committee.
The republican senators are expected
to vote practically as a unit in support
of some salary increases for the clerks.
The section providing for the horizon
tai plan is the last in the bill and NAV
not be reached until late today or to-
morrow.
Pay of Farm Loan Board Discussed.
The Senate committee amendment
reducing the salaries of the farm loan
board from $4,000 to $500, which
went over yesterday at the request of
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire.
came before the Senate when the bill
came up for consideration. Mr.. Hollis
made point of order that the amend
ment changed existing law and placed
general legislation on an appropria-
ton bill, since the law creating the
board provides for salaries of $4,000.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and
Senator Jones of Washington asserted
the amendment did not propose to
change the existing law, but merely re-
fused to appropriate the entire amount
allowed by the law for these officials
Senator Smith said he did not believe,
however. in this method of reducing
salaries. although he would vote, If an
opportunity arose, to change the law
creating the board SO as to reduce the
salaries. In this he was supported by
Senator Works of California
The Vice President oyerruled the

New Office Stricken From Bill.
On a point of order made by Senator
Jones of Washington. the Senate COM
mittee amendment providing for an
assistant to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, a new officer. at $1,000, was strick-
en- from the bill. Senator Jones said
that the rule might as well be enforced
