WOULD GIVE CLERKS
ENOUGH TO LIVE ON
Mr.. Stevenson Asks Govern
ment to "PIay Fair" With
Employees.
SALARIES MUCH TOO LOW

'The government must pay It's en-
| ployes enough to live on" says Repre-
, sentative William F. Stevenson of
South Carolina, a member of the COM
mittee on expenditures in the Interior
Department. Il believe that an in
| crease of from Is to 25 per cent is nee
essary. judging from my own expert
ences in trying to meet the increased
cost of living
! Representative Stevenson Is one of
the stanchest supporters of liberal
increase in salary for all the govern
ment workers. He Is prepared to go be-
fore the Byrnes subcommittee of the
House committee on appropriations or
any other committee granting hearings
on the question.
The general opinion in Congress, as
find It," said Mr.. Stevenson today. "is
that we must pay the clerks as big an
increase in their graded salaries as will
enable them to meet the heavy increase
in the cost of all things they must have
to live.
Congress Ready to Act.
There is no question now that Con-
gresS Is ready to vote a substantial in
crease all along the lines. Just what
form this will finally take of course
no man knows, but the general disposi-
ton is that Uncle Sans workers must
be given enough to live on in the fed
eral sercise or they will go elsewhere.
Il have always found that 1t was
real economy. and operated for ef1-
cheney, to give any employe enough to
live on and then, with mind at ease
and impressed by any temptations to
grab for enough to supply needs at
home, the public official can give his
best efforts in the service of the peo-
pie, as he cannot do otherwise"
Mr. Stevenson is especially Sympa-
thetic toward the government en-
ployes who are receiving low salaries
He wonders how some of them keep
from starving, and feels that the gov
time unless it pays a living wage to
all of those who are helping to win
the war through trained service in the
various departments.
Urges Substantial Increase.
"A substantial increase in salaries
for all the thousands of federal work
ers in Washington is an absolute ne
cessity, especially during the present
term of abnormal prices" Mr.. Steven
son said.
That the government workers from
Portland, Me. to Portland. Ore, and
across the entire length and breadth of
the land are stanchiy supporting the
plea of the thousands of federal en-
ployes in Washington is shown by
great sacks of mail that are being re-
ceiyed each day by the members of
.Gongress-- These letters are not only
from the government workers. who
would get an honest living through
the increase. but they contain also
resolutions and petitions from boards
of trade and chambers of commerce
and from some of the most influential
fraternal organizations in the country
Associations of grocers are adding
their plea, and naively remark that If
the government pays its honest bills
to the government workers. they, in
turn. will be able to pay the grocer,
who is the first one to suffer if the
government workers do not get enough
to live upon.
